I'm not sure it's all inevitable. Still some constitutional challenges to go.

I think it's way easier to stay aligned when you see each other in person at least sometimes. Maybe it's possible with remote but it seems like a big effort then to orchestrate what comes naturally when everyone is in the same ph

Eh, you're posting on HN in fluent English. Your personal friend group is probably nothing close to what's average in China. It's a straightforward sampling bias. Did you go to a Western university? A good one? And now wo

NLP has come quite a way since then, though the overlap with Google's functionality makes it seem like a losing idea regardless.

Pretty cool and fun to read through. If I can make one suggestion: make clicking any part of the Tweet card element go to the Tweet in context. That's the main action I will want to take, so it's a little annoying that it's

Looks like Nuxt/Vue sitting on S3 with CloudFront as CDN. Presumably with some script on the backend to update the list of Tweets on S3. /vaguely informed guessing

Well first and foremost, as an app on iOS/Android, you can't just access the mic whenever you feel like it. There's also an available audit trail for when it is accessed. So it's trivial to know whether the Facebook ap

Have you used Baidu or most Chinese apps? I'm not sure this has proven true in that example walled garden.

> Unbridled data collection is a requirement for a startup? Well, yeah, most of the time? Can you name a unicorn that doesn't collect and use data en masse?

> There is widespread suspicion that Facebook Inc already does this (they deny it, but I've heard and experienced too many anecdata to believe them). Why spread an easily testable lie? People have checked, they don't do this.

I can't wait until I'm literally forced to use qwant.com. I love daily frustration. It's good for the health.

Naming names to turn the wheels of justice is one way in which the piece could have value. I assume it’s the way people are gravitating towards partly because it’s otherwise so poorly written that it doesn’t have much prospect of argumenta

There are plenty of well-paying tech jobs that don't require you to work nights and weekends. No need to 'find a different industry'. You kinda sound like you buy in to the overwork and are trying to convince others of your

I read all of it against my better judgement and I still have no idea what you're really talking about. There was no substance, just vague allusions. But anyone can make those. I could tell you Zuck is a lizard person and make odd h

Well it doesn't 'just work' on all platforms or contexts. That's why it's a bit annoying for them to spend dev time on stuff like this, especially when they could have used whatever pre-existing/established co

It feels scammy and annoying though, making people less likely to accept it, exactly like Keybase and Stellar. First time I got a Stellar email from Keybase I thought it was a literal scam.

Chrome has the Payments API and the most recent betas have the Digital Goods API which allows Play Store billing.

I would go even further and say it's easier now for non-EU people, because we just eliminated a whole class of advantaged competition. Now when you compete with someone from the EU you're on equal terms.

It's not even just about taxes. Economists largely agree generally low corporation tax is good for everyone. > Maybe reporters should get an accounting primer before writing articles about taxes? That will just make them feel bad w

There are other reasons. For example I think Kensington and Chelsea balked at the idea of having the on-street infra for some schemes. Same reason they don't have nice cycling infra. I'm surprised line-of-sight across the roofto

I’m not sure it’s even true that cheating is less prevalent at top universities. It’s probably not something we can know in practice. Anecdotally I saw a fair amount. You could make the argument that people are more likely to cheat to ev

The reason is that bad hiring, depending on your current size, is one of the most ruinous things you can do. So people take their time. The alternative is ‘fire fast’ (with caveats), but a lot of places are afraid of doing that. Personal
