Don't pay much attention to what Sokoloff said. In theory, he's kinda right, but that's not how it works in the real world. And I don't know if you and him/her live in the same area/country.

I've had a rough time looking for jobs, due to 2 main reasons: not getting it right when adapting the resume to a job posting. Many ATS just discard resumes that doesn't have the exact words that they use on the job posting. Even if you are saying the same thing with different words...

The other was the phone interviews, made by a HR person looking for who knows what. For most applies that I did, I didn't get a phone interview. After phone interviews, didn't hear back.

I only got 2 technical interviews for like, 100 applications. One was for the job I'm currently in, the other I declined because I got the job offer to my current job. Both I got through recommendations, even if the people recommending me didn't know me. But they looked at my resume and put it stray to the HR manager for them to talk to me.

I also had a friend (not in IT) that was not getting anything. I told he to look for recommendations. She went to LinkedIn, found someone that worked or used to work at a company she wanted to go, and talked to the person, got recommended, and got the job.

edit: this in Canada

I think that on Netflix's case they are not going for reviews. They want to know what you like, to suggest something you'll probably like too. Doesn't matter if it's 4 or 5 stars.

THIS! Consider someone with a spouse and kids... Let's just quit, right?

> I'm sure "colonoscopy, clear" and "colonoscopy, with removal of polyp and pathology on it" will have different prices, but you won't know which it is until after the procedure.

Which is expected, and kinda ok. At least, if you do a colonoscopy and there's nothing else, no complications, it would be that price.

But on twitter you don't need to give anyone your real name. THAT'S the thing. There should be no way to tie your twitter account to you, unless you specifically allow them to share your information.

I was already thinking of deleting my twitter account. This is just an extra incentive

Good post. It would be nice to see a follow up with brands that don't track you.

Have you looked at Wiki.js? I played around with it a little bit and it seemed nice

Agree! I just assume everything posted here is "for humans". So... what's the differential here?

I use uBlock + privacy badger, so I whitelist some sites on uBlock. That way I will see those ads, but still block trackers

Small note: why post an image with the pain points if I need to check the list below to understand what's written?

It's like, if they are sorry about/regret doing those privacy invasions, are they also going to donate some of the money they made to people implementing privacy solutions or something else? Probably no, right?

Easy to talk, but hard to deny all that money

Agree. It's easy to talk, but hard to do. Also: in the end, people need money and at least some stability. Even if you consider working at Mozilla to be ethical, if you consider what they just did, it's not necessarily a safe choice...
