As much as I absolutely detest spying and surveillance capitalism, this is the _least_ invasive solution, but please remove or anonymize ALL IPs in your logs. Other than that I would not log, track or collect any requests from people.

I’ll take it further, At this point, you should NOT trust ANY company or startup (especially VC funded) with any data you give to them and you should treat all companies with full suspicion. Security mishaps, leaks, Data misuse and most imp

They already own Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger. If they can't get them on FB, the features will trickle down towards the family of apps, maybe under a different app name or feature.

> I am shocked by the ignorance here. "Why would Facebook do this? Nobody trusts them, they've run out of ideas, etc." I agree. The majority of HN users are 0.0001% of FB users and it clearly isn't built for them. As

It is this that I cringe hard whenever a developer mentions 'the modern web' or 'the free and open web'. I wish websites were as simple as HN. + Lightweight. + No ads. + Works without (or little to no) JS. + Does not mak

I've used Stripe (and still do now) and if this is the case, I would consider closing my account immediately and switching to another payment provider. There must be alternatives to Stripe out there as I too don't like Google&#x27

This post is infuriating and a new nadir in "tweet leadership" right after that 10x developer myth tweet[0]. Engineers and game devs shouldn't have to destroy their work life balance just for making a video game for children.

Just had a look and came to the same conclusion as the OP, but I found these statements very odd from their page. > ...And we come from diverse backgrounds. Just not the “10x” types. So much for “diversity” and “inclusion”. > ...We’re

Only if they provide an electron app, to which then yes it is a 'desktop app'. Autodesk's demo is in a web browser, good luck trying this when you're offline.

Although a monumental achievement from Autodesk, that is not a _desktop application_ that is a web app.

That might be the case economically, but this isn't the future that I or end users want, look where this has gotten modern desktop development, you now have sluggish, slow, bloated applications vying for end user's resources. e.g.

The latter, I have a 3GB laptop. Almost any application I use that is electron makes my laptop scream for help (fan spinning furiously) and freezes it up. I have to kill the application before it consumes everything. Electron applications l

Totally agree, but unfortunately, when you're in a slow moving industry you don't have the luxury of doing rewrites on a whim. You'd be surprised how Python 2 is _still_ being used in this day and age.

Tell that to the industry I work in (Games, Movies & VFX) where most of the tools & 3D software scripting are still in Python 2. Not all of us move fast and break things here, unlike the web dev world.

Love to try this out some day, a shame that this isn't in Python 2. EDIT: Thanks HN, try working in an industry where every new project is in Python 2, and have no intention to move on, before saying "moeve to 3", it doesn&#x

Given that he was awarded a Thiel fellowship, this gives him more freedom to research what he wants and make an impact than big tech and can literally go anywhere. But obviously chose Google.

Disagree, I don't find this a "toxic" comment. The parent makes a point. Such potential in my opinion from these researchers/engineers and instead gets scooped up by the big tech companies, hoarding the talent such that
