It would be really amazing if they exposed a C-based interface to flutter. Using performant flutter to target multiple platforms with languages with better library support would be killer. Though it is understandable that google wants to cu

I needed to report an airbnb that was having someone else who's not the host on airbnb site run it. So I was staying in the place with a person that they ran no background check on. They only allow you to make a report from a pre sele

It blows my mind that todo list app can be worth $200 million... Then again a chat app is now worth several billion... I don't have any idea of how this works.

I mean correlation does not mean causation but the gov't keeps upping the black budget every year and we all know what they do in those gov't basements... It's just a matter of time that industrial factory overflows and spill

Maybe the only reason the american gov't isn't as bad as the chinese gov't is that we can, in fact, defend ourselves.

You would think with all the protests in hong kong against an authoritarian government that they would value their 2nd amendment rights. All you have to do is browse hn once in awhile to see several articles about the US gov't brazenly

Isn't this a blatant constitutional violation? Maybe while they are at it they can search through everyone's house as they "might be there". Granted the fusion center already have access to this information - alot of tim

A 100 years ago it would take a 1000 people to plant, maintain, and pick a farm that would take a just one person and a machine to do today. Obviously we don't need as many farmers as we did back then and a result of that is the collap

Their tricky licensing makes using Qt for personal projects a non-starter and anything commercial really hard to justify. If they streamlined the licensing and created (C)sensible language bindings then it would be great. I tried the python

It will be curious to see if these will be vulnerable to electronic device interceptions with the NSA TAO[0]. I'd imagine they are already working on building a replacement PCB to drop in and image. There's alot people including j

Just a heads up - the US gov't has complete access to your iphone with the fusion centers and such. They do not need to you to unlock your phone. If you are participating in a protest and are afraid you will end up on a list, just leav

True - it definitely will be a big hit but the chinese are used to sideloading their apps and in the long run, this will mostly hurt American companies as it will teach its users how to bypass these restrictions and even come up with better

>1) Without GMS, developers will need to fork their apps and reimplement everything they use Play services for today. That's non-trvial and I suspect a substantial number of developers would not be willing to do this. True but Hawue

Huawei is a massive company with a large lineup of affordable Android phones. Why can't they just fork Android just like Amazon and Microsoft? I guess they would have to come up with alternative to google play marketplace, gmaps, gmail

Tesla would never go to $10 as one of the big four would immediately buy them out if they got them wholesale. Their self driving would make it worth it alone(looks at uber ipo).

There's a bit of censorship that goes on behind the scenes, i'll let you google for specific examples. Highly recommend watching 'kill the messenger'. Fun movie to watch and it will give you a sense of what i am talking
