Somehow I have never discovered this feature. It's brilliant. Thanks!

It does matter. The nice feeling of being one of many is a feature of echo chambers. If you can create that artificially for anything with a push of a button, it's a powerful tool to edit discourse or radicalize people. Have a look at

If it's the same objection that is raised against milk drinking, then it's more about natural hormones in the milk/egg that is intended for a calf/chick. Not artificially introduced hormones.

I somehow missed the fact that you were the same person I replied to initially. That in itself is almost poetic in regard to the state of society that you allude to.

Thanks! Those explanations seem reasonable. Certainly more reasonable than extraterrestrials. I was under the impression that the radar data that concluded insane speeds was aggregated from multiple sources. If that's not the case (as

What's interesting about the Nimitz incident is that sensor malfunction seems unlikely given that a number of different sensors placed at different ships and aircraft registered the same thing. Now, that thing was probably not an alien

It's interesting to ponder for sure, but be careful to not fall into a Deepak Chopra-style hole. The observer effect is so viciously perfect for misunderstanding, mysticism and exploitation. I'm not very informed when it comes to

I think basic math is just a natural part of most languages, since it describes a useful aspect of reality. Similar to distance, space or existence. I'd hazard that most languages has ways of expressing those concepts as well. The fun

So many apologists here. If you liked the game, that's fine. I did too. I'm lucky to play on PC. But there should be consequences for not delivering anything close to what was promised to customers that has paid in advance. Game c

I think both of those are invalid if we're talking about WikiLeaks, no?

As long as it's flagged "Show HN", it's all good. You shouldn't be taking it more seriously than it is. I bet you don't have the same response when someone posts some other pet project of bouncing balls in WebG

I completely agree with everything you've said. My main point is that I suspect this is a natural development even with all economic incentives and Algorithms set aside. Facebook et. al. are capitalizing on social psychology that would

Is it avoidable though? Social media might be accelerating the development of echo chambers, but the underlying reason why it works is because people seem to enjoy tribalism. I'm not sure that connecting people globally could end up in

Don't get me wrong, most of the time they read the instructions and everything works great. No issue. But the uncalled-for rejections happens enough that we can never feel confident. As I say, it's a major nuisance, but it isn&#x2

I don't know how you got access to our developer console, but you need to stop.

Yeah. The increasing reliance on BankID in Sweden is a blessing and a curse. For us swedes born into the system it's incredibly convenient. On the flip side I've heard my fair share of horror stories from expats that get locked ou

So it's Jekyll, but in Python, with the added benefit of... what exactly? Deploying on a CDN is a one line shell script. Maybe I'm missing something. There seems to be a lot of static site generators being advertised nowadays. Is

That certainly sounds less than ideal. I have also had a few interactions of this nature with Google, and unless you have contacts in the company or have some sort of partnership, it's very hard to get any form of manual intervention.

The ID login flow is basically UI-less. The user taps the login button, a separate identification app (that basically all swedes have) is launched, and as soon as the authentication is completed the user is navigated to the logged in view.

It's very frustrating indeed! I don't know how many times I've edited and attempted to clarify the instructions, but I'm still getting bounces. I really sympathize with the reviewers who are probably under a lot of press

I updated the post. The normal login flow requires swedish digital ID. Reviewers won't have access to that.

by mekkkkkk 6y ago
Sorry for being unclear. I updated my post. The service uses swedish digital ID verification. This is not feasible for reviewers.

by mekkkkkk 6y ago
I updated my post, the user facing login is using Swedish digital ID, which naturally the reviewers do not have access to.

It's a different login procedure for test accounts (such as the ones made available for reviewers).

Well the difference is that as a general app developer you barely ever need to interact with Google. As for Apple, you do it a lot. I'd rather take rare and abysmal interactions than constant, annoying ones. I've had numerous app

It's all depending on the domain you work in. When working as a web/app frontend developer I've barely ever needed any real maths knowledge beyond basic algebra. As a backend developer, I've had to read up on certain sel

I think (and I believe the parent poster does too) that math becomes relevant when things are starting to scale. Sure, creating an MVP of FB can be done quickly with minimum knowledge of maths. However, if it starts attracting a lot of user

Proton is a compat layer, and it often incurs performance cost or glitches. In a few cases games are not even playable. Granted, some games work perfectly. Nonetheless, I've done my fair share of Linux gaming, and I'd never ever r

That's simplifying it a lot. Things can be really bad, but still be the best/only way to achieve some goal. If you wat to play games on your PC, Windows is your best bet, regardless how bad it is. If you want to keep up with acqua
