Moments after Tesla's purchase of 1.5B of Bitcoin was announced, I opened Clubhouse, and sure enough, at the top was a pretty massive room discussing the move. Quality of information wasn't remarkable, but as a "radio show on

I can imagine a lawsuit from the opposite side of the argument: it is these APIs that allow to challenge incumbent social networks, and if the result of the lawsuit rules these APIs out, growing a competitor to Facebook or Twitter might be

It's not like anything in the license has changed since late 80s.

Can't wait for their S-1 filing. For a business as distasteful as this, there should be quite a few gems and interesting risks.

I'm glad to see this story on HN. It's one of the biggest corruption reports ever in Russian history, from what I can think of (I'm not Russian, so my knowledge is limited), and it's a bit disheartening to see this story

With everyone filming everything all the time, I've always wondered just how fully we can capture all that is happening in a given place. Capitol events shows that in a situation like that, you can almost pick any person, and with enou

"Obsessively private messaging app", that will be available at silent.app. In many ways a LOT more secure (and much less user friendly, alas) than Signal. I expect that maybe 3 people in the world will need that. If you're in

Do you plan to support custom domains? I'd like to use random_nonsense@my_own_domain.com, so that even if OwlMail disappears, I can do something about all the mail I would be getting.

Was about to comment with the same URL. It's one "direction" of mastery. Software invention, at grand master level.

If this domain was somehow related to UnstoppableDomains project, the irony is beyond anything.

I think he tweeted about it when TouchBar was announced (3 years ago?) Found the tweet: https://twitter.com/worrydream/status/791767756928462848?s=2... (Tweeted on the day TouchBar was announced)

I have a memory of Bret Victor tweeting something about how TouchBar was something he worked on. TouchBar was released more than 5 years later after he left. Found the tweet: https://twitter.com/worrydream/status/7

Having completed the game, I think it will eventually go down as one of the best games of all times. We’ll need time to forget about PS4, to get bug fixes and some DLCs. But by the time PS6 comes out, I think people will say that “Cyberpu

For one, LiveView doesn't send HTML over the WebSocket channel. It sends a highly optimized diff structure that is applied to HTML.

Owners of repositories that "assumed white background" (for example, https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins ), consider updating your graphics to something that is readable in both styles.

Very fair points! I guess it primarily depends on whether the service was developed in-house or acquired. FB is all acquisitions.

Same was true for Libra as well. The only place you would find "Facebook" was FAQs (to say that it is NOT a FB product, fully independent, nothing to see here) and whitepapers (that explained FB role in more detail, but not more h

I think so, yes. It felt better to see Instagram at least visually untouched by the blue "f". Although, that splash has helped me reduce my usage of FB apps, so maybe that's a positive.

Today's Bitcoin's average transaction fee is $6.34. For "coffee shop purchases" that is horrendous. Ethereum is better, at $1.43, but still not usable for coffee. Only highly-centralized cryptocurrencies, such as Stellar

There were some interesting ideas about decentralized management of "treasury" (and issuing/burning of Libra coins), mostly related to the "basket of currencies" model. I think that will stay even with value only be

That "unified" splash screen is menacing. A constant reminder that wherever you turn, it's a FB property. With Google/Apple/Microsoft it's quite straightforward, everything they make is clearly their style, the

Libra was interesting. With their basket of currencies and easily programmable contracts, it was a semi-unique project in crypto space. Over the months, their ambition has been cut a lot by regulators. No more basket of currencies, now just
