I don't use Signal to message strangers, only contacts who I have phone numbers of. Seems like that's the use case for most messaging apps like Whatsapp and iMessage that Signal was designed to "compete" with. Signal is

Apple does the opposite by giving away their software and design “for free” and making up for it with hardware margins.

Perhaps depends on your goals. Virulent enough to cause global panic and show how a totalitarian state can respond better to a pandemic than democratic stated. But not virulent enough to actually kill everyone. Similarly SARS and MERS were

I too tried to like Bitwarden but have been disappointed. In the meantime I've made a basic linux CLI for read-only access, seems to be sufficient for the time being: https://github.com/vinc3m1/1pa

Am I the only one surprised that this is allowed in the first place? What established practices/precedent does the state have that "it could warrantlessly get cell phone location data to find anyone, anytime, at any place as long

Success for OEMs vs success for individual consumers/developers mean different product strategies. Focusing efforts on a limited set of popular consumer boards seems like a better use of resources. I bet OEMs have their own private cha

While I absolutely agree with the comp aspect and think that's probably the biggest point, I want to add that management skill is also a huge factor. I've seen a lot of startups (YC and otherwise) fail to grow the team well becaus

I had the same thought, though it’d be interesting to understand the tradeoffs of better crash test safety + higher flammability, vs gas powered cars.

These benchmarks are between iOS 11.1.2 and 11.2.2, which include the battery throttling code in 11.2.0. We need a benchmark between 11.2.1 and 11.2.2 instead.

Would be nice to have some sort of do-not-call list equivalent for email mailing lists, or at least something that forces double-opt-in on the receiving end. Too bad we're not MailChimp's customers so they could care less really.

If you want to travel internationally though (and you're not on Verizon), get the Sprint SE, which has better international LTE bands.

Kotlin is committed to Android support though, and the community is coming to rally behind it much more than Scala.

Please open your mind to the possibility of cognitive bias on your part. "All you hear" is unlikely to be an accurate generalization of the thousands of people who work at Uber. Until you overcome that bias, you are also part of t

Excuse my ignorance here, but is this something that can become a class action against the city then? Why not find all the people given traffic tickets without due process and probable cause? That would actually get some attention no?

You're right that we have a very strict review process for added permissions, but unfortunately due to the way libraries and Android's manifest merger work, this change managed to slip through our standard review process. We'

We use phabricator which has a much clearer flow for blocking on code reviews and you can easily see your list of diffs awaiting your review. I find the workflow much better than GitHub. That said, communication is really key, and that come

Um, am I the only one here confused at why this guy is arguing with PG? From what I can tell they are in full agreement. Ron here is saying we shouldn't kill startups (what PG calls "creating wealth"), we should instead fight
