One thing to note is that the in-game community, the GW2 subreddit community, and the various GW2 social media groups are rather disparate. The Twitter drama also attracted a lot of outsiders who had little to do with the game -- it got cro

One sad aspect of this is that the streamer in question (Deroir, also a longstanding official studio community “partner” -- he even has an NPC in the game named after him) was a fan of the employee whom he ended up clashing with. There’s a

Native Chinese speaker here. That post is comically wrong. For one thing, you don't pronounce either "file" or "fire" like "filer" or "firer" -- isn't English amazing ;) -- so there's n

The ideal solution for me would be to have both FaceID and TouchID -- but at the back of the phone, like the Pixel. FaceID works great when I'm at my work desk and have the phone on a charging stand. I can just glance at the phone and

Adding another data point here -- my iPhone X screen is full of small scratches. It's really noticeable.

Looking forward to your review after two days of using it.

It's interesting that you characterized the response ("Maybe use another map projection?") that way. That doesn't sound like criticism to me, it sounds like a suggestion. Maybe the person was just curious.

To be fair, that might not necessarily be the fault of the journalist. Could be some hapless intern told to conjure up graphics within a few hours.

This looks like a simple grab for attention by a company that touts "server hardening" and "device hardening" as part of their services, one of their projects being "c0llude", a "self-hosted, flat-file col

Sure. How about your votes and your favorites?

Can you close your account on Hacker News and have all your data deleted? No, according to this: "Please note that we have no obligation to delete any of stories, favorites or comments listed in your profile or otherwise remove their a

I don’t see anything in your comment that pertains to “... what you bought, how often you went to the bathroom or who you went with”, so yeah, still spouting nonsense. The police here don’t wear body armor, by the way. Where did you halluci

The important question here is — why do we still put up with the archaic busywork of tying shoelaces? I loved driving stick shift, but I’m not sorry to see it go either.

That's already a given. We are all, in a way, impersonating other (mostly insufferable) persons.

Ironically another example of the “thought-stopping soundbite”. Also, as someone who actually lives in Singapore, I can tell you for certain that SlowRobotAhead is spouting complete nonsense.

Because nobody could conceivably impersonate a business and cause all sorts of legal and PR issues.

And people like ocdtrekkie are virulently anti-google, but I guess you don’t have a problem with that.

It’s funny that you claim this yet there are posts all over this thread about how crappy the ad targeting is.

Which goes back to my question; how did he know that there is another inbox? Unless he happens to know the other person... well, in person. And if he knows them in person, why hasn't either of them switched email addresses already (w

No, I am not fine with this. I don't care if a company has 10 engineers or 50 (hi WhatsApp) or 10,000. The number of engineers has no relation to how many users are exposed to privacy risk. After all, one single developer can make a po

If gmail ignores dots in the email address, of course that email is going to show up in your inbox.

by Gigablah 9y ago
But how do you know that the other person registered a gmail account, as opposed to, say, them registering the wrong email address with the email senders?

I think it’s a brilliant decision. It serves as bait to separate the vapid, superficial commenters from those who are actually interested in the technology.

I wonder what prompted these changes in the first place.

This passes for discourse on HN nowadays? Maybe it’s time to ditch this place as well.

Ah yes. There’s nothing to censor if you keep your mouth shut ;)

There’s arguably nothing to dethrone, Spanner is too cost prohibitive for small developers in the first place.
