I'm thankful for having had people in my life that have given me opportunity when I frankly didn't deserve the opportunity. I'm very conscious to make sure that I pass that kindness on when it's appropriate.

This is absolutely, unquestionably, spot on. It's a societal level change that's required to unpick what we have right now. It's incredibly complicated and there's issues everywhere.. but I think we can (mostly) agree th

Open question; What's the long game on securing the way credit cards work? Who's working on something interesting that could thwart the whole 'name+number+ccv' leak thing that's been perpetuating in this industry fo

I don't know why you're being downvoted. You've got a point. There's no perfection in the App Store when it comes to review, but it's an ecosystem that is built around trying to create a sense of control and privacy

Again I feel like I'm reaching out to be educated here.. but if Safari is attempting to validate URLs for safe browsing using the Google API (which it states it will do, quite openly), and Google products is quite clearly blocked in Ch

This, if accurate, is quite reflective of all online forums of discourse unfortunately. The game is rigged.

Here's a broad and perhaps a bit naive question on this; Reddit, Imgur, and any other site that uploads significant amounts of images from significant amount of users.. do they attempt to do this? To de-dupe images and instead create v

To (most) people commenting and reading this, the question 'why would you pay that much money for a car' is just about context. To much of non-first world countries, buying an iPhone Pro Max would evoke the same question. That amo

Correct or incorrect, good answer. Appreciate you taking time writing it!

I have to say, as someone who's been somewhat critical of Facebook's dealings for the past years, I read the entire thing and I can't pick up on anything that doesn't seem like a reasonable thing to say to your team. Is

How is the FireFox experience on OSX these days compared to Safari? This is 100% a nail in the Chrome coffin for me.

I'm in the same boat, friend. Expelling Google from my life. Apple Maps works for me. I appreciate that's not the case for everyone, but it's come a LONG way. I sincerely use Apple news (on iOS) and have been loving it, but a

I'm surprised at the lack of support (hacker news) for Safari. It's a fantastic browser, made by people who have a track record of not being evil with data. I know that might seem like a big statement, but in the face of Google I

This whole story is so familiar, yet so devastating. Great specific product that solves one, or a few, problems very well, maintained by a passionate group. Into 'Ok' broad product that tries to solve 50 problems in an 'ok&#x

While you're not incorrect, there's a whole slew of the 'on the fence' produce that DOES get sent to supermarkets, and then don't get sold. There's been a few documentaries about it, well worth a watch.

This reminds me heavily on the 'perfect food' issue primarily in western countries. Every apple that's not pretty, every cucumber that's not straight and so on. All just goes from the supermarket into a bin. It's a

Honestly, this read so much like desperate marketing. You're making baseless claims. "Senior people rarely use Slack channels". Care to back that up with some facts please? It takes away from everything the product is trying

The Magic Mouse 2 charging situation is entirely by design. I'm totally serious. Apple stated they don't want people to leave the mouse plugged in forever, hence having an unnecessary wire, so the design ended up the way it is to

This is a really good summary of how it tends to play out in the real world. In particular it is the readiness aspect. When time has come to actually think like a business, and be less of a passionate founder of your own little baby. Lastly

How useful is this attitude really? I understand the underlying aspiration of creating a 'known' ecosystem, but passive-aggressive callouts like this doesn't do anyone any good. Signal has done us a lot of good, let's ke

I don't know that this is true at all. Yes, complexity has shifted, yes today's market is different. This does not really change the fact that a focused, driven leader can impart a strong sense of company focus and vision that bec

While much of this goes over my head, detailed write-ups like this by people who have no direct way of gaining a financial outcome from all their hard work is the cornerstone of why the internet is fantastic. Amazing work!

It's interesting that you call Uber 'surging' but cabbies doing the same 'scamming'. I understand what you're saying but they are quite comparable..

You probably mean 2SA, not 2FA. Also Google 2SA allows you to 'trust' or 'remember' devices to circumvent multiple queries for a code. Is this what might have occurred ?

you're missing part of the point. The $200k pool of money for an actual 'celebrated' poker player is absolutely not worth the time and effort. Hence why you get a few tiers down in terms of player skill. Still valid tests tho

Really great writeup man, and for a good cause too. I've done something remarkably similar but solely for myself, and it's great to see someone going one step further. Best of luck, hope you make your money back and get a nice kic
