Steve Jobs was Apple's inventor. They've been trying to emulate him since his passing, which is showing obviously to not be the same thing.

That's a bit of a stretch to justify posting on HN. We could use this same type of logic to allow lots of other unrelated topics on here, but IMO we shouldn't.

I stopped reading the paper after this quote. If the author doesn't understand the tech or has a very simplistic understanding of it, their opinion on it doesn't matter and shouldn't hold any weight.

I had a similar search issue. For paid users, they also offer a "ProtonMail Bridge" client for macOS/Win that can make it so you can use your regular mail client with ProtonMail.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to uphold high standards. If the feedback makes his peers better in their practices, then it's a net positive.

ProtonMail's web-based client is solid. The bonus part is you can ditch Gmail all together as well. Hosting on your own domain is also nice if you don't like @protonmail.com or @pm.me. If the price is too much, they are going to h

Popcorn worthy. I like that Cook called them and others out, and I also like this response. Both seem valid.

Not as much, but I'll practice every so often to keep skills sharp.

For now. It seems like only a matter of time until the same thing happens again.

That Twitter guy should be ignored, some people just want to find something to be outraged about.

LeetCode is nice because it shows you other people's solutions when you correctly submit. Super useful for seeing code with faster execution times, I've learned some tricks from that.

If privacy is the concern, I recommend checking out tutanota.com and Protonmail. Neither are self-hosted solutions, but they'll give you the ability to use your domain, have an org and both have good (proprietary) Android/iOS clie

Tim Cook has called China the biggest and most important market for Apple. With this in mind, of course he wants the story retracted. Appeasing China is the most important thing for Apple. It definitely doesn't mean the Bloomberg story
