>I’ve driven scores of people, mostly middle-aged men, home at around 2:30 a.m. in and around Portland, Oregon That surprised me. I would have thought most Uber/Lyft middle of the night drunk customers would be young adults.

LinkedIn is a job board. It's actually a very good job board, I use it tons to search for jobs or candidates. I don't understand why people try to treat it like a social network, just don't and it works like a charm.

I think in this case the title should be changed to something like "acoup.blog - on crypto and states" . As it is a very interesting and relevant article for hacker news but it's title is unconnected to the content and there&

Your government has capital controls (mentioned in a different response) to prevent you from purchasing foreign currency. Which makes buying crypto (or stablecoin) illegal online purchase. Illegal doesn't always means wrong or immoral,

Actually they originally hit it big with Magic the Gathering. They bought D&D and the rest much later. I'm pretty sure Magic the Gathering is still the largest moneymaker for them even now.

ICQ is very much alive, and popular in Russia for example. Hotmail transitioned to Microsoft outlook.com, and you can still use your hotmail domain email, even if you can't register new ones. As far as I know aol mail is still availabl

That's the problem. You really should not have your car manufacturer suggesting it's okay to put some random guy's USB stick in your car. If it was just some guy making a hack, that'll be awesome ,but since it's off

No it's not. Enable by default. Provide a way to disable for those who need it, done. It's just not apple's way to think users might want to do things differently.

That's a stretch. Most companies don't want to spy on their employees' free time. They want to 1- make sure they are compliant with the law and their confidential stuff is secure and 2 - make sure that you are actually workin

I think in your analogy netflix is more the shop that those truckers are delivering goods to. So if you want to be more accurate, the proposed payments won't be like a tax on truckers (in this analogy the truckers are the users, or may

I read the majority of the linkedin post. While it starts off benign enough with renouncing antisemetism and wierdly anti-zionism it soon goes into a tirade. After the first few parts it's mostly about the Israel-Palastinian conflict (

No it's not. What he did was vastly different. He basically got revenue sharing with the vendor - he opened a company and got a certain percentage of profit the vendor made from netflix sent to his company. In some he personally got sh

I'd be surprised if this actually materializes. Most likely google will abandon the project (whether by killing it or just moving all the talent to something else. Keeping up to date native Android/iOS functionality by basically r

I know why Brackets are used in quotes - usually to add a subject that wasn't in the original quote but was obvious from the context, which is missing in the quote. I've seen these used a few times in the weirdest places and I jus

If you allow yourself to take the blame, and don't point the finger at th real culprit when asked you can't be surprised when no one accepts it when later you do.

A lot of people will. But there's also strong education regarding system prompts. Users know when an app is asking for extra permissions (which this is basically the same of). Those people who care about what permissions apps have will

Not sure what the parent meant, but that sentence is most definitely true for the vast vast majority of software development of products - websites, apps (desktop, mobile etc..), IOT etc... Making products is, as far as I know, also the vas

the code isn't the only infrastructure that can intermingle. I think whatsapp runs on facebook's massive server farms with customized chips - which would hurt whatsapp probably if they need to find a different hosting. I imagine

This was a fairly common approach about 10-15 years back. It has its charms but it mostly fell out of favor because of versioning. It's very hard to manage multiple versions and migrations for the database and it had a negative affect
