I wish I could tag filter and control what I see on my feed for example political content on LinkedIn is largely an unfollow event for me. Also I’d like to be able to filter for recruiter content and just jobs.

I’m surprised all the countries the US is trying to bully aren’t considering moving to the Euro as the reserve currency (even China might go along with this). It would be so damaging for the US they might actually understand they have been

Is this impossible to work out?

It’d be nice if native date, time and number pickers were good and not super weird (in most browsers anyway).

The music industry is essentially a bunch of psychopaths robbing artists blind.

Yes, it's amazing how we have given corporations all the powers and none of the responsibilities of individuals over the years.

Sure, but you know what you should do if you were trying to completely destroy the US? Side with Russia against our allies, put up huge trade barriers on our neighbours, torch the rules based order, look at the world as split into many hemi

I think this is everything, for example YouTube has about 20 different bugs, a few off the top of my head. 1) video is often cut off making chess content annoying to watch 2) replying to people sometimes removes their username leaving just

Yes you could easily combine solar panels and poly-tunnels for example. We have the potential over the next few years to make everything work so well but instead the US seems to be cutting cyber funding.

How is dramatically lowering since 1970s compatible with stable after 1955? The fact is tax on the rich started going down in the 1970s and since the 90s tax havens and other shenanigans like renting out your own mega yacht to off shore she

Twitter is much more effective at brainwashing stupid people into believing any old crap than newspapers ever were, there were journalistic standards in the coverage for one thing.

Yeah brilliant “businessmen” are born into rich families and destroy their wealth pretending to be real estate developers and managing to be so incompetent you bankrupt a casino where the house should always win!

The means of production is still here, what’s left of it. Lower asset prices will benefit the poor. What should have happened during COVID is the government took a percentage of businesses to the cost of lockdown/furlough (if they were

People really should look at the work of Gary Stevenson here: https://youtu.be/TflnQb9E6lw The truth is economic growth hasn’t been occurring in real terms for most people for a long time and the rich have been transferring

Getting graphic designers to use the design system that they invented is quite a challenge too if I'm honest... should we really expect AI to be better than people? Having said that AI is never going to be adept at knowing how and when

As with everything there’s lines you can bend and lines you just don’t cross. Gambling with your clients’ deposits is always going to mean jail time. Timing is also important, for example the US basically has given up on consumer finance pr

You know billionaires personality traits are probably normally distributed in most aspects, except they have a (much) higher tolerance for risk. So do homeless people.

Presumably you don't need to let the app have access for it to work?

Okay this might help!

I’ve been working on https://veloa.com (think twitch meets peloton for open hardware). Would be great to get a cofounder to help so if you’re into cycling and programming let’s have a chat!

I thought about this too, if you need any help let me know, email in bio.

Because if you want your project to be well used and contributed to you’re probably writing it in English. I don’t see too many French or Arabic or Chinese or British English open source projects that have taken off, but I’m happy to be pro

All I’m saying is keep your codebase consistent with the language the standard library of the coding language you’re using. If there was a programming language with British spelling without the use of awful hacks I’d be fine with that. Unfo

by andy_ppp 2y ago
So you’d advocate that codebases should be written in the locale of the people writing them? What about open source projects, should they be dictated by the first language of the creator in most cases? You presumably can’t use British Engli

Absolutely terrible. You should spell everything in American English when programming as like it or not the standard in every codebase and programming language going to be this. I am British but coding is not language, and trying to be clev

How do the valuations of foundation model companies compete with them being firmly open sourced by Facebook and DeepSeek? It seems likely that building these models will not produce hundreds of billions in value given China and Facebook are

This doesn’t prevent every single person in the US (almost anyway) from being profiled and having ads and propaganda targeted against them.

If you think this data won’t be used to disenfranchise and target democratic voters and give the GOP perpetual rule, I have a bridge to sell you. “Oh no! Big mistake we cancelled hundreds of thousands of people from voting just before the e
