Hide My Email - Too much friction?
  • RobotDeathSquad RobotDeathSquad 1y ago 100%

    I'm the CTO of a tech platform that has a consumer component of it, and the real issue is that normal people just have zero idea of how it works and generally expect it to work differently.

    The main source of confusion is that if a service uses your email address to identify a user, and that user gives up a completely random email address, they now have no way of identifying themselves unless they remember they used hide my email.

    They assume two things: 1) that they will still be identifiable by their "real" email address some how, and 2) if they do use their real email address later, it will somehow map back to the previous hidden email.

    Also if they use Apple Mail, most of them are not aware of how to figure out what email address an email was sent to, so they can't identify if they hid their email address, or not, even when we're sending them emails.

    My evidence for this is thousands and thousands of customer support cases. Our CS folks HATE this feature.

  • Lasercutting options for Pi50 case
  • RobotDeathSquad RobotDeathSquad 1y ago 100%

    Laserboost is definitely one of the more expensive options, but they are convenient. Ponoko is good and typically cheaper. If you live in a large city, there's for sure someone local that will do it for much cheaper than any of the online places, but it takes some leg work.

    We couldn't get Dialyzer to work well until I found this, hope it's helpful for others!

    I'm not sure about the algos, but I'd kill if it would at least remember my choices between page refreshes.

    I honestly have no idea how independent the various studios are.

    Seems to have more actual story to it than the Division does at least from the trailer. I thought it was going to be Far Cry based and was then surprised to see the studio.

    I was able to delete mine so if you want to create over there, that would be cool.

    Oh, that's cool. I created an Elixir one here first, but that seems like a better spot for it. Let me see if I can delete the one here.

    But I have to preorder only to be wildly disappointed so that I get the full NMS clone experience.

  • Wild caught salmon quality
  • RobotDeathSquad RobotDeathSquad 1y ago 0%

    I've always thought most of their salmon was pretty sus. Lots of it looks like it's dyed to look wild when it's actually farmed, and way too much fat to be wild.
