> One thing that always frustrates me a bit whenever Mozilla comes up on HN or elsewhere is that we are always held to impossibly high standards. Yes, as a non-profit, we should be held to higher standards, but not impossible standards.

If N26 is an important part of this I will not use it. They have a track record of handling security in a way that would cause nightmares for me if I had an account there. Edit: We could solve the CSV import/export issues with template

This is some serious and good advice for doing business and also managing personal relationships. Do not fear to say 'No!' and do not try to be everyone's darling. I had to learn this the hard way because of exactly the same

I agree with the underlying conclusion but there is one thing you said but did not properly reason about: > On the other hand, van life and tiny houses are logistically prohibitive to having children. This is just not true. Only here in

I do not need a sales department because my services and products speak for themselves and people want to have them. They come because of reputation and part of this is being sober, punctual, efficient and professional. I am sad for you whe

1. I managed to do business without taking drugs as long as I can think. 2. I am used to people coming to me for advice and my services. I never needed to advertise etc. so THEY will have to do business else where just as I said. 3. Just be

Good for people who enjoy it but I do not. Alcohol is a drug which has very bad effects on my system and I try to avoid it when possible. If this is the condition for serious business for someone they will have to do business somewhere else

This is true and important. But I also have to admit that I like the interface of GH more and I am just used to searching on GH - it always has been like google search for code for me.

It does not make any sense for me to buy new macs anymore - especially when I have to run the new macos, which will take SECONDS to open apps that open in MILLISECONDS when you switch off wifi or just use a good OS. Also I do not like their

How about some generic "how to not buy into a single ecosystem that will maybe screw you one day". Most important is a personality that prevents you from doing things just like everyone else or this urge to always use the newest t

> The app store is in some ways like a government, and brings laws And just like the laws made by the government some of those laws are unjust or even stupid. Take the hemp prohibition as an example. It is as stupid and useless as Apple&

When I see this I am really looking forward to just talking to my computer like to a real person :P Keyboards are nice and in many cases a far superior input interface compared to a mouse/touchpad but in my opinion it is just a steppin

> it's stupendously premature to assume that it is ready for products Did you follow product development in recent decades? The iPhone was not ready for prime time as well but still people bought it and where very happy. A lot of pr

Isn't this simple economic reasoning? If you buy something or worse you have to pay license fees on a regular base your earnings will be smaller. We live in a world that is driven by economic growth so the ultimate goal is to maximize

I think it really depends on the scenario: # Scenario 1 You are using one device where all your apps are installed or you have permission to install anything you want. You will find this in smaller companies with BYOD policy. # Scenario 2 Y

I do not think this is an issue for one very important reason: There is "Web-Apps" that just need JS and when deactivated it does not make sense at all to use them. Look at apps like [Prezi]( https://prezi.com/ ) as

Since when does the job of a journalist not demand him to think on his own before copying headlines? If journalists behave this way they can be used by anyone to spread their message unfiltered. This is not what I expect of quality journali

Yes the computer still has a purpose but in my opinion the view on this is a bit blurred when growing up in the western part of the world. Just take a look at countries like Africa or Cambodia: Most of the people (if not all) own a smartpho

The new MacOS. When WiFi is active it needs seconds (!) until apps like VLC open. Normally this just takes miliseconds. It slowly (haha) steels time from me every day and I was never so frustrated using a computer.
