I program and I prefer glass displays. It's more uniform, easier to clean, colors are more vibrant, and is easier on the eyes. I opt to not use an external display because most reasonably-priced ones are matte/non-glass and have a

An ad company with some of the most reliable infrastructure on the planet since its inception? Yeah, I think it can.

Does your Asus have a glass screen? Do you carry it in a backpack where there is pressure on the screen? Mind you, this isn't a well known issue. I've had it happen to me once in a decade of owning and frequently traveling with th

I'm curious, what do you propose here? The keys leave imprints because the screen flexes from pressure applied presumably in your bag or similar. MacBooks already have some of the most rigid screens on the market. This is pure physics

I don't know if I would call it offensive, maybe misguided? Naive? Most of the population could not sub into most tech work. I know this because a large portion of the population can hardly even use tech, beyond the lowest hanging

>they work harder jobs than me What makes it harder? Could they do your job? Or do they miss the bar for doing the level of knowledge work that you do? This "they work harder" cliche is really tired. They might work hard but th

But they can commute in like many people do, right?

Pay is not exclusively a function of how hard you work.

In what way are three major cloud competitors + many more focused cloud offerings a monopoly? “Monopoly” doesn’t mean “successful company I don’t like”. Europe has failed to innovate for decades and that’s why it’s perpetually backed into a

I love the premise that the only way Europe can compete in a free market is if all other competitors are outright banned. What a sad state of affairs.

SF is not an easy locale to test in. Sure, there is no snow, but the city is narrow, dense, with a lot of challenging situations including fog, rain, and crackheads. This success seems promising.

So pay for premium then. It costs a lot of money to run, why do you feel entitled to get it for free with nothing monetizing it?

As others have said: POI data. If you don't have (the cancer that is) Yelp installed, you don't even get reviews.

Not to mention its complete inability to reroute sometimes if you take the wrong turn. It'll keep yelling to return to the route over and over instead of routing a turnaround somewhere.

It's far more than that cloud storage for photos. It might come with Android but so does YouTube and Search, that doesn't make them part of Android. It sounds like you don't use it so maybe you shouldn't have such a stro

Where’s your entrepreneurial spirit? Companies will pay at least $1,000 to offload the negative PR of copying others’ layoff emails verbatim. No brainer.

by pb7 4y ago
There’s an opportunity for a SaaS that will provide a boilerplate layoff template, all you have to do is put in your % impacted and severance terms.

That’s not what Google Photos is. It was first introduced with Google+.

by pb7 4y ago
Google Photos was launched in 2015 and has well over a billion active users. If that’s not major then neither is anything YC has ever produced.

You might be in a bubble. There’s a great big world out there that doesn’t share the sentiment you see on HN.

Why did you single out Google?

Huh? San Francisco is the second densest city in the US after New York.

No, they can’t. People in sovereign countries aren’t beholden to your country’s laws. The EU can block access to the site from inside but nothing more. It doesn’t rule the world.

Is it his problem? He doesn’t have to respect GDPR because he doesn’t operate in the EU. Sounds like it’s your problem if he doesn’t handle your data the way you think he does.
