Elites? Protecting jobs? There is no secret cabal here doing "protection". Not sure where you get this stuff from.

Dear lord. Less than 20% adoption a YEAR after release? iOS gets that in a few hours.

Thats not what this means.

Yes please! Let's drop this electron crap once and for all.

But, the whole "checking in on a channel" thing is exactly the problem. It creates a nonsense or a "missing out" feeling for the team. It is too synchronous.

by matchbok 8y ago
Experiment for slack lovers: Start talking about something in a channel with ~20 people. Have another use try to start another conversation in the same channel. This is a common occurrence. The other users either have to spam the channel or

What a mess. Year 1: New android feature. Year 2: Nobody really uses said feature. Year 3: Feature removed.

Same. The huge wobbly inner loop is far too distracting.

Sort of makes sense. Android is generally a mess and hasn't really added much of value over the last 4 years. Whereas iOS has had huge yearly updates with actual features. Plus, iMessage is a huge draw. Android has what, 5 messaging ap

We do not have a welfare state. There are simple ways to get people to pay their taxes, there simple isn't political will.

Uh, NYC has never been filled with cars. Think you have twisted your perception of the past to fit your opinion. Also, cars are not "public transit". Not sure how you arrived there....

Can't imagine why NPM needs a "developer advocate", to be honest.

Yes, that's a hotel. You have "home-sharing" and hotels. Just because it's a single house does not make it less of a hotel.

Couldn't agree more.

by matchbok 8y ago
Correct, should have clarified.

by matchbok 8y ago
Incorrect. Most of AirBnBs profit comes from units that do not have the owner present. Aka a hotel.

Because my neighborhood is littered with mini-hotels and AirBnb encourages this behavior.

by matchbok 8y ago
AirBnb is a terrible, terrible company. Most of their money comes from corporate-owned mini-hotels yet they advertise as a mom and pop shop. At every turn their solution is to sue small towns and cities so they can continue to extract wealt

by matchbok 8y ago
This has nothing to do with hotels. That's a cop out.
502.
by matchbok 8y ago
Ah yes, "innovation" in skirting regulations as AirBnb does. Harming local communities and extracting wealth in the name of "tech disruption".

Many work at FB have that luxury? How can you prove that? You can't. That's a judgement call on your part, and a bad one at that. You have absolutely no insight into the work/life issues those workers need to consider. Someon

Ah, "morality" about one's job. The luxury of hacker news commenters. Very, very, very few people have that luxury. Everyone else has mouths to feed and a roof to replace. Everyone is aware of the risks of smoking. People sti

Dear lord, they are cigarettes. Everyone understands the risks. Guns are legal, so people will manufacture them and people will buy them. What people "should" do is not murder.

People like smoking. People like drinking. Humans will be humans.

Shaming people who work for tobacco companies is childish and myopic.

So, 15%? Doesn't seem to matter. The last 3 or 4 android versions really haven't changed much, except useless design updates that confuse users.
509.
by matchbok 8y ago
Do these new versions even matter at this point? We keep getting new ones while the last one barely gets past 10% adoption. Android is mess.

Can't see how this will be a sustainable business, at all. The whole goal of the network is to eliminate the waiting problems. Which will be solved in 5 years.
