I wonder how many FB engineers read HN. In case some of them do: please, LEAVE Facebook. Don't be part of the problem. Don't justify contributing to mass surveillance just because you can work on cool tech. Don't be evil, god

OK, so let's talk about what we, a Berlin startup that I co-founded, do offer: - fair salaries for the experience and attitude - no equity, because we believe that a fair salary is better than a lottery equity - we don't expect pe

I guess the sign isn't enough, I also need to explain the joke...

Sorry I forgot to show the "joke" sign, I guess that's a must on HN.

Merging does not equal dual boot. They'd still be separate pieces of software, but the ability to run MacOS on iPad hardware would be huge.

Nope, this would be enough for many people (both women and men) not to talk to you ever again. Can't see how this is average.

This is nuts. The iPad Pro is so massively ahead of the game, it's even hard to believe. It is faster than the MBP 2017 and ALMOST as fast as the MBP 2018. We're talking a device that is 5.9mm thick and is battery-powered! Now her

Careful. While doing things that don't scale is generally good advice for startups, don't build stuff that you already know will NEVER EVER scale. If you develop stuff and still have to put manual effort because you save time - fi

I guess that might be the thing: I'm left-handed. So reaching the back button is quite straight-forward for me.

In the same way you cannot just sign a contract that is against the law, a company shouldn't be allowed to do whatever they want with your data, just because they made you click on an "Accept" button.

I have small hands and an iPhone X. Not a single complaint about the size, I think that Apple nailed it with this one.

Well, I guess it's not exactly the same, but they probably overlap in 80-90% of their tasks.

I guess it's simple: they have world-class engineers behind it. Of the smartest people in tech, that truly understand their craft. That, and a broad, open community.

Rocket Internet is a Berlin-based incubator that has given birth to Zalando, valued at $4.5 billion.

And that's why they load near instantly. Wish more of the web was like them or Hacker News.

There is a cultural aspect to it as well: when I lived in Switzerland, I noticed, it is very common to use the name of the person in almost every sentence when referring to another person. Be it greeting, asking something or leaving the pla

Many companies take pride in serving their customers, more than making as much money as possible.

What I ask myself is: why do corps allow to become places where shit is being thrown around, instead of productive work and cooperation.

Yes, but Berlin is car-friendly AND pedestrian-friendly. And getting close to bike-friendly as well. The thing is, Berlin has a huge area for a relatively modest amount of inhabitants. This allows the city to "breath" a lot more a

How can this be an issue? Since when you can claim anything posted on FB and expect it to stay online forever? It's a private company in an unregulated field, they can do whatever they want. They could decide to close shop any time if

Would you, as a company, like people to associate your brand with dark, smelly & dirty places?

All the +2k podcasts hosted on Podigee (a podcast hosting company mainly known in German-speaking countries) are distributed in opus. But it is, and probably will always be, a rather niche distribution format. AAC had its moment, but MP3 is

That means that biology uses the same idea of having "background jobs" and worker queues that get more relevant while the main function has a bit less to do: many IT systems will schedule some tasks during the night when there is
