Sadly, cab drivers did the same thing. Countless times I was given overpriced rates in times of need, like late night closing time.

Man I wish I could get insurance like that. "Accountability insurance"
You were responsibile for something, say, child care, and you just decided to go for beer and leave the child with an AI. The house burns down, but because you had insurance you are not responsible. You just head along to your next child care job and don't too much worry about it.
It's called errors and omissions and it's as basic an insurance as it gets.
> It found that wage increases have reduced fast food employment, shortened the hours worked, compelled fast food franchises to use more automation
The wage increase is the agent here? More correct to say that owners did these things in response.
People said the same when factory automation came about. Wouldn't you agree that it's silly to pay a human to press the buttons you verbalize?

I've just loaded my Facebook home page. 6 'pages' (I know it's infinite scroll but you know what I mean) before I saw an actual friend's post, and it was from 2 weeks ago.
Jeez Zucky, I wonder why social is dying. Is it because there's no bloody social between the ads and random algorithm shite anymore?
E: haha, the rest of the comments say likewise. Redundant comment but +1 anecdata.
Also for what it's worth I've checked a few profiles and yeah friends are still posting, I'm just not seeing it. I guess I scrolled past some post about something too quickly and now Facebook thinks I don't care? Maybe the algorithm is just broken lol.
I’ve basically stopped using the site for all the same reasons. I think it is because their engagement by real human users is near zero. In order to keep it freshfor whoever is left, like seniors hoping for an occasional pic of their grandkids, they fill it with the garbage

Now imagine the resolution on a satellite the size of a bus!
I hate Datadog. We use their name as an epithet at our company for how not to sell/market. Their selling tactics circa 2015-2018 completely burned us out. Endless calls and emails. The icing on the cake was an AWS reInvent presentation on Lambda right when lambda was first announced. We were pumped to get in on lambda early. Got the whole crew to attend the talk. Turned out to be a rudimentary copy of a Barr "lambda up and running" blog wrapped in a stand up comedy routine hawked by a Datadog employee who made sure to tell us he was a Datadog employee. Get us all drunk and happy and think Datadog is cool.
Genuine question: has the company changed enough in the interim to deserve a second look?
I have had the opposite experience. Sales has been really respectful of our time.
I love how I can come to HN to instantly find out if it’s Netflix or my WiFi.
Unreal failure
I'm a bit dumbfounded by the price tag of $189. Am I wrong?
Go build your own for cheaper and see if you can make a living.
