Any sensible freelancer will have an hourly rate nearly double that of a fulltime employee for obvious reasons. Please stop telling him just to hire a bunch of dev freelancers. Projects like this require UX and business domain understanding

Please dont listen to the people in here telling you to just throw some devs on to this project. You will ultimately fail since it seems you yourself are not capable of leading a software development project. Yea you can bring it in house.

Stop giving the guy horrible advice. IF you think throwing some freelance devs with no business support/product/UX support is going to help him, you are so mistaken. Trying to rebuild an existing complex software system that handl

I cant beleive people actually are telling the guy that letting some developers loose on this project is actually a good idea. Some issues with this approach - How does this team with just a lead determine the business and domain rules? It

This article is literally an ad for the Brave browser. Telling us to not trust google when Brave has done even worse things than Google is hypocritical as hell. Its like when oil companies paid for scientific research to prove climate chang

Thanks for confirming that Brave has keyloggers (by your own definition) and has no difference from other browsers.

Umm I knew of them, I was being sarcastic as I had to do your job of researching something rather than you actually spending some effort to do your own job. I think everyone's threshold for what constitutes breach of trust is different

You realise other browers can also opt out of this feature right? Why did you even use this example if you have this feature, I mean keylogger, also in brave? Your responses here are not necessarily helping you or your product.

I think if you just google for 'Brave controversies' you would get quite a few, like I just did now. There are also plenty of links in this submission. From content injection to taking money on behalf of people that have no idea i

What other browser has injected a referrer to a link that has been entered into a browser URL bar and has benefited the company personally? As a engineer that has worked on global products myself, I find it extremely concerning that somethi

You have been provided evidence by multiple people on Brave's shady practices yet you are the one who seems to be such a fervent supporter in the face of much evidence provided to you that no other mainstream browser (besides chrome ma

Its very different IMO, one benefits the CEO financially the other is an identifier for tracking purposes. One was done without informing the user the other is a common methodology that many websites do with parameters such utm_ (not that I

Its ok to differ on the opinion about wether an explanation is reasonable or not and we differ on that. How one can make that mistake to me is a bit worrisome. To me, thats not a developer bug (nor does their explanation provide any proof t

A piece of software injecting behaviour that aims to benefit the CEO of the company and earn him money should be considered what exactly? Have you ever seen any other browser do anything like that? I think you are simplifying the issues her

by nobunaga 6y ago
To be honest, thats a claim that you have not proven. If anything, Firefox and safari are probably more trustworthy based on my own subjective opinion. They have never injected affiliate links or promised to do things which are borderline s

If people want to donate money to content creators or actually earn money off the web, there are better alternatives than watching ads.

There are so many better alternatives to brave. I would not advocate for it considering their past behaviour which makes them not a browser to trust ( https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/8/21283769/brave-brows

No, but they also dont have as much of a negative impact on humanity (disinformation, cambridge analytica, elections impacts etc). I think there is a big difference between being annoyed by a decision that has very small blast radius vs wha

Taking in to consideration scandals like Cambridge analytica, its impact on the election, disinformation, do you really think criticism of FB is not valid?

From my perspective, I do not think Apple is making their changes in iOS to limit small business in anyway and is having a positive impact in many respects with relation to privacy. I think you can still have privacy and help businesses su

I was not part of the initial analysis team so cannot really comment if objc was more suitable as it would require to look at objc at that time and do tests etc but I suspect we would have had a more smoother experience. Though the the code

Management had very different incentives while engineers had different motives. The two were not aligned, and TK culture was still very prominent back then (work hard, dont go home early, we are going to be a 1 trillion dollar company etc e

Android was a much easier story, Still had some binary size and method count issues but we were able to overcome them thanks to another brilliant engineer we had in the team in SF who worked on Android.

I was part of the team in Amsterdam on this. Insane days. Had some great engineers we hired in AMS. We were moving the whole source code into a monorepo as well which was another crazy project. I think if we had not had some of the engineer
