   Thanks. Reading it in that light, it suddenly makes a lot more sense. I guess I took it more serious, because I assumed that he actually owned that entire IP block. It's probably just the block of his ISP.

   In the real world you are forced to use "any" when the type definitions for a third-party library are not perfect. This actually happens a lot with types from DefinitelyTyped that are not maintained by the original author of the l

   I really like Opera as a browser. But I am still wary of its owners. 48.0%: Beijing Kunlun Tech Co., Ltd. (Zhou Yahui) 27.5%: Qifei International Development Co. Limited (Qihoo 360) 19.5%: Keeneyes Future Holdings Inc (Zhou Yahui) 5.0%: Gol

   That would dilute the share price when it's high and boost it when it's low. Reaching some kind of equilibrium in the middle... What would be the point of that? A stock buyback is not an investment, but rather a transfer of wealth

    Firefox Sync is bad in so many ways. A few more settings that don't sync: - Cookie exceptions - New tab page config (Top Sites and everything else that you see on that page) - Certificate exceptions - Personal certificates

    Quote from the last earnings call: "[...] my sense is that there's a fair amount of pent-up demand still. Fortnite is still growing in popularity. PUBG is doing great. And then we've got some amazing titles coming out. And so

    A huge part of why they introduced an algorithmic feed is probably to sell user engagement instead of giving it away for free. Prioritising actual people means that they de-prioritise businesses, who now have to pay to get to previous level

    Why would investors care? It's a payday for them. Current investors are going to be bought out in cash or MSFT stock.

    The first 30 seconds start a little boring. You just repeat what many people already know about bitcoin... But then it gets really interesting. I wish you had started the video a little bit stronger. Anyway, I just subscribed to your channe

    Maybe some mid-level manager at Apple is trying to get a promotion with this. "Look at how loyal and useful I am to the company. I saw this revenue-threatening thing in the news and I killed it."

    As long as there is no business relationship to any EU entity they would not be "doing business in the EU", would they? I doubt making a website available on the global internet would be seen as "doing business in the EU&quot

    I won't miss them. Why would I need to know about local news from places over 5000 km away? Luckily there is still archive.is and the Internet Archive for exceptional articles that pop up on HN.

    You are describing the ideal. But for some reason all that companies can come up with are closed "ecosystems" where systems work well with each other as long as you buy everything from the same manufacturer. Interoperability and o

    For us living inside the feedback loop of the tech world it might be hard to see the relative importance of some of the things. I think he brings up an interesting topic from the perspective of someone living outside of the tech world.
