Listing the messaging App here is like comparing apples to oranges, gRPC and FIDL are for different purposes from technical perspective, people must have evaluated leveraging existing tech vs. creating a new one before the investment.

What if someone don't use Messenger? Venmo/Paypal are still the most popular options in my circles, largely because they are not tied to any specific platform.

It’s looks like free but it isn’t, RH makes money by selling trading requests to high frequency trading firms like Citadel, which buy/sell before the actual order in a better position so they can earn a penny from selling to or buying

First, you can play YouTube without any problem on Firestick, they made the change 2 years ago. Second, you should give the new Chromecast device a try, it's far much better than Roku. Third, Google is asking Roku to support VP9, which

So many people complain about the mount of Ads, or the quality of Ads, but don't forget there's YT Premium. There's no free lunch, creators also need to feed their family. (it's your choice to use adblocker anyway)

Smh, a newly registered account. > Honestly it is okay to discuss the bar behaviours of an app without blaming other apps. OP explained the reason for doing so, how can we just discuss the problem without checking the cause?

Great idea, thanks for sharing this! But how could we prove what's behind the image is exactly what is shown? Could someone still hack it, pretend to be a normal link but actually is a phishing link?

Does anyone notice that in the video there are kids holding guns, at around 00:54 and 01:11? I hope they are not real.

I guess Chinese gov needs to pay me then ;), mind sharing out the "well documented" reference? It's a common way for Chinese to pick up an username, a common word plus few characters from their name. I created mine since high

I post a comment like once a month, how could this be "active"? I used the username since high school, any problem with it? I just came back from HK right before the airport protest, if you don't believe what people said, go

If it is not A, then it must be B, loll, not to mention we don't even know if it is A. This is not a valid reasoning.

I worked in EU (Paris, France) for a year, was paid about 30% less than working in China, not to mention high living cost in Paris. The benefit is people DO have work-life balance. I'm working in US right now, one of FAANG, I'm pa
