That’s very interesting since right away after looking at the demo I thought about how it reminded me of workplace in mechanics. I’m wondering what exactly you see as a value proposition of Patchwork over Workplace since for teams under a certain small size both are probably overkill but otherwise i see they solve a similar problem in a similar way :))
We both still think Workplace was a magical product. Unfortunately, because it was a direct fork of Facebook's codebase, it was never really built from the beginning with work in mind and is very much built for very large companies. Patchwork was built from the beginning with product teams in mind, so you'll see everything from our integrations to builtin workflows are much more geared towards that.
I was at a company that used it and it was pretty fine. Especially since it has the same patterns as regular facebook it was fairly easy to use for a lot of newcomers.
I think it might have been dropped for being too expensive, the per seat cost was significant.
I also have a workplace account in one nonprofit society and it’s also pretty cool to be used there.
As a person very familiar with Polish legal system and code I would be far from saying it's a cut & dry case.
What we have in this case is a company doing something that is wrong, not an individual. To sentence somebody with the statute you and the parent are referring to you need to have a case against an individual, not a company. Secondly, except for this specific statute you have to take into consideration the general rules of the penal code (Zasady odpowiedzialności karnej) and in this case you have to assign blame, find out that the intent, the knowledge of what they were doing etc.
In general, in best case this will be a breach of contract, a civil case, there probably won't be jail time. Don't get your hopes up.
Don't get me wrong, what they did is nefarious, but at the same time I don't think there should be Jail time, just huge fines and some scrutiny (maybe NIK, ABW, CBA etc. - other polish three later agencies) on Newag, maybe barring them from some future deals.
If a serial number of the mac mini is blacklisted by apple from registering for example with apple updates or any other apple connected services, then probably it's in datacenters' best interest to keep spammers out of them.
I didn't compromise the security of iMessage as a whole, it just exploited a way to get people into the system that was not planned.
Imagine there is a theme park that has normal ticket booths and some requirements there to get in. Then there comes a Beeper that finds a hole in the fence on the perimeter and sets up their ticket booths there. It's in theme park's best interest to close that hole and cut off the revenue stream of somebody pigging back on their theme park.
Except they charge a thousand dollars to enter and then let everyone else in for free but they have to wear a badge and the pictures they get from the roller coaster photo booth are 240p.
And no one is obligated to come to the Theme park. There's an entire world of people who never visit the theme park, mock the people who do, and couldn't care less about it. But some people want to be included as going to the park, when they don't. Some people are very judgy and don't want to talk to people who don't go to the park...
Hey thanks for work on the app! Is there any possibility of translating the app to different languages? I can drop a note to email if you want, since as I understand you are based on Yale's Mood Meter - https://moodmeterapp.com/science/ - it might have some more or less official translations in some languages.
> During the magnetic-stimulation treatment, Peter was shown pictures of drugs and encouraged to reflect on the harmful consequences of his addiction. The hope is that his brain’s reward circuits—a complex network of interwoven brain regions that control pleasure-seeking behaviors—will get reconfigured in ways that ultimately alleviate cravings and strengthen self-control.
Sounds like a scene right out of “A Clockwork Orange” [0]
Yeah, I think I’d rather handle any addiction myself than go through that.
Especially when there are viable addiction treatments, but the overall treatment experience still always blame the person at a root level, so they aren’t as successful as they could be.
Me. I started smoking cigs at 23, and not one doctor ever asked me why I started later than pretty much anyone else (got divorced, and my dude friends were smoking, thought I could outsmart nicotine.)
Had to process it with nothing but terrible advice from people who never got addicted to anything. Then those who quit because they were pregnant/new dad with angry wife.

Then you probably don't really know addiction. Recovered hard drug addicts can get cravings for substances for the rest of their lives. The brain doesn't let go because it knows it can get that feeling again at any time. Not relapsing is a continuous battle, although it gets easier with time.
I get that the research sounds a bit disturbing, but if it works, it would be a groundbreaking therapy for addiction and a lot of people would be able to live their lives again.
I can accept that. But life is short. Such a horrific experience had better have provably positive outcomes before I’d sign up. Or sign up someone I love.
Currently know some friends’ families with kids suffering harder addictions. I still wouldn’t destroy their sense of individuality by taping their eyelids open.
I see it as, holy crap why are kids doing fentanyl? But I was a kid once, and hope they grow up with some sense of self-respect and responsibility.
I have a bias, in that it seems when amortized, humans keep staying alive despite the newest drug.
This really falls apart when you consider that not just cooperation but active effort on the part of the participant is required to make this work, otherwise it would be totally ineffective.
