Anecdotally, I don't think this reflects reality. A 'strategic shift' to present suggested content may be what Facebook wants to do (or would like to tell investors it is doing). However, the amount of real content being post

That is terrible. Good luck onboarding new developers or junior team members into your project. I get playing with technology for side projects, but for something commercial there is no way I would sign off on including that package into

That's a fair point. I think another perspective is that this is a case of businesses chasing (or being forced to chase) endless 'growth'. Facebook is likely optimising to increase engagement and revenue. But in my humble opi

Same situation with mine. Even had to have the battery replaced after showing errors, after a whole ordeal to have it covered under warranty. I suspect this was related to the constant overheating.

If you haven't seen it already, take a look at https://github.com/rxhanson/Rectangle for an OSX window utility. I've been having great success with it. Some placements may take a couple of shortcuts, but this

> At the moment nobody can complete with Steam because Steam has most of their games. Exactly? You're right. Which is why Steam will never allow this from their side.

Serious question: if the experiment can't be reproduced to be verified, how does the paper provide more proof than a blanket 'trust me'? From someone who isn't an academic, isn't this letting politics come before sc

You're right. I think so much of this discussion is missing the forest for the trees though. The bigger picture question is whether dense, expensive metropolitan areas, or other locales with expensive cost-of-living are the right fit f

For some elements of the UI, sure. For others, especially branding related, no, pixel perfect is important. Additionally, this is a good example of the tooling overstepping bounds. Developers giving feedback that their tooling can't ma

There is definitely business aspect in terms of warranty and customer support. In New Zealand for example, legislation guarantees a warranty window on new devices that the manufacturer cannot opt-out (Consumer Guarantees Act). Highlighting

Probably because you're not the target audience. That is perfectly fine as well. I imagine most of the HN audience would be able to avoid bricking their devices if they all came with root access. But I buy Apple. For myself, my parents

That's a good point. I always considered this in the opposite direction though. Once you have a sufficient number of drones I don't think any conventional aircraft will have sufficient weaponry to deal with them effectively. Use t

I don't agree. I think the whole press release comes off quite dishonest and manipulative. I'm not quite sure who the intended audience of the release is. Releasing a statement announcing the layoff of many employees while trying

Serious question: How will UBI allow this? Over time I would imagine that due to inflation and the increased cashflow that everyone will have the prices of basic necessities will increase to the point that UBI just covers them, or worse tha

This could end up being a big deal in the days to come if legitimate. Twitter has made strong public statements that they don't have shadow banning tools[0]. Apparently sworn statements have been made about this. [0]: https:/&#x2

Agree completely. Feels like a huge step backwards. Maybe usage metrics show most users are using a much smaller window size, but the layout is all over the place on my 27" monitor (2560x1440).

Everything you mentioned makes sense - video streaming is far from my area of expertise. But you may have missed what I think is the major point in the OP: for the majority of customers, Zoom appears to have far better audio quality out-of-
