They can be nested, the one thing I have never been able to figure out though is how to get alerts of receiving a message while also filing away in a sub folder. You get one or the other in outlook, as a result I rarely check my work email anymore cause I either get the fire hose of spam or miss everything entirety because it's going to a folder and not passing along an alert about a new message.

Am I missing part of the article? This seems like 2 sentences saying "don't install anything cause some Linux LPEs came out." I don't understand why this is on the frontpage of HN.

As the author of it I'm as confused as you are. It's frontpage number 68 for me, next time is ultimate nice.

A company choosing to take a loss on a service is not the same as not needing to pay for it, it was getting paid for.

People still unironically use Web3 as a term, that's hilarious.

Should I be able to run files I download on my own computer? I think yes I should, hate fighting MacOS to do simple tasks because Apple engineers assume the end user has the average intelligence of an ostrich.

That might be an overly optimistic assumption for the typical user, to be fair.

The over ambitious and underperforming, might be a good indication of why they can't keep a website up :)

No to mention the absolutely absurd questions they ask. I looked at a sr position there and they were asking about performance in individual courses _in high school._ I haven't been in school for 20 years. I've learned and forgotten so many things since then, like I'm going to remember or care what I did in econ 101 multiple decades ago... It was so silly I didn't bother applying.

I've read some surreal recounts of the Canonical interview process. The CEO appears to have a fairly extreme fixation on candidates' high school experiences.

Needless to say, this is just absolutely bizarre. What kind of kid you were is a terrible proxy for professional competence or even present-day fit. (Not to mention that people's high school experiences are very likely to differ greatly based on things like socioeconomic status, race, sex, sexual orientation, disability, etc., and imposing a normative idea of what high school experiences ought to look like would probably unfairly discount candidates through no fault of their own.)

Complaining about vendor blobs while showing a picture of a machine hooked up to a China produced RAT box is certainly a statement.

When it comes to storage "unlimited" to me means a promise to be broken at some random point in the future. I'll never use a service that claims unlimited anything over having an actual cost model. Companies that charge by what you use have actually given consideration to the cost of doing business and have priced that in already.

I've long thought that words such as "unlimited", "infinite" and so on should be legally banned from marketing, or at the very least their use should be heavenly regulated.

_Nothing_ is actually infinite. Everything has limits.

"But X terabytes is functionally infinite for 99.99% of users"

Cool, then advertise that you offer Xtb of storage. Infinite means infinite, and if you offer anything less than that - and you do - then you shouldn't be allowed to say otherwise.
