I use brave but some brave allowed ads seep through. I have no issue with ads; I just don't like tracking and insane JavaScript pop ups taking over the browser without the user invoking a deliberate action.

That's just it; you can never placate people who want to expropriate everything (or close to everything) from others. It's just never enough. Attempts to tax people at 70% in France (even if it was marginal tax) went south very qu

No I haven't due to time constraints. I was just disappointed and uninstalled to free up space. I will be getting some time off soon so I will reinstall and log the issues.

I'll admit this, I was wrong about Satya. I didn't think Microsoft was salvageable but he's been doing a stellar job. He's a great CEO and embracing open source was a really good move. I shifted to VSCode from atom (befo

Top APIs I've enjoyed working with: 1. Stripe (Best) 2. Twilio 3. Twitter (Does what it needs to do quickly) 4. Puppeteer (Amazing. Was super helpful.) 5. Google (mostly ok but could be better) APIs I've hated working with: 1. Pay

I am only subscribed to 2 newsletters one of which is by Trevor McKendrick - VP at Lambda school(YC). It's probably one of the few newsletters I'd actually pay for. It's sent out every Monday morning so that's something

Would you say the socialist policies of the government have had a negative effect or a positive effect on the country's economy? In your opinion as a resident, does this play at all into why things are the way they are economically?

Indeedy. My country has 7% inflation. And that calculation is done by the very state that is responsible for inflation so their word on this only means so much. Any other currency or store of value that solves this is more than welcome.

That's because they have a clear way on how to stop facebook while they don't really know how to stop decentralized crypto (whose whole point is to resist state interference).

Funny, I never thought of a longer TTL as one solution to this kind of security problem. Interesting.

> Where I live there is no difference between taxi and Uber. That's one of the problems that ride apps solve - ubiquity of service. No matter where you go in the world - and I come from a very remote place so I should know this -

True but not everyone does it well. Almost everyone sucks at it - long waits, poor selection in terms of product range and sometimes even apps that simply don't work as intended. It's going to take a large player with a wide netwo

Uber eats is their golden egg. I think it was Stripe's Collison who said that their cohort of businesses - stripe, lift, uber et al - need to first build out their ecosystems then once done, a plethora of other business opportunities w
