The UX issue is directly highlighted in their rationale for the change. Calls to alert(), confirm() and prompt() cannot be polyfilled or safely replaced in the general case because they explicitly block the main thread. That behaviour might

They are planning to deprecate them from the platform entirely, this is the first step

deprecation is totally fine, log a warning in the console, discourage people from using it, but don't throw the existing web under a bus because your UX team can't think of a nice way to visually distinguish it from the browser&#x

it's not good, this change will break huge swathes of the web if it goes ahead as planned, lots of older websites just won't work any more and many newer ones will also be affected.

I didn't find this refutation especially convincing, and the way it is presented makes it seem ideologically motivated. The underlying argument in that article is that the people around Calment would have known that Yvonne is not Jeann

If it was fraud, it was likely mail fraud, at least at first. That is to say, the people closest around her would not necessarily have known that she was claiming to be Jeanne - the family only had to have a death certificate issued in Yvon

Where would these real USD come from if USDT is worthless? Why would a holder of USDC or DAI accept USDT in return if USDT is worthless?

I don't think there really are any (or many) reserves. I think they just printed a bunch of tokens, used the tokens to buy BTC and to inflate the value of the crypto they hold in Bitfinex (Bitfinex and Tether are approximately the same

Any rational person can see that Tether poses an existential risk to the crypto economy - but the market is highly irrational. There was an interview with tether's CTO and GC the other day that was an absolute car crash[0] and should b

I would probably spend my time focussed on growing and sustaining my companies and hiring very skilled people to do that engineering work for me, I'd be very interested in the engineering work, but I wouldn't be doing that work my

That seems extremely unlikely, there's only so many hours in the day and while I'm sure that he has a keen eye on what's going on the odds of him being personally involved in the actual engineering are close to zero. If he&#x

Basecamp came pretty close to this recently, I'm not sure whether it had a material effect on their business or future direction.

I'm surprised to see this reaction from a sales person, isn't this a major part of your job?

This is genuinely unsettling. I wonder if this will need to be extinguished by using explosives, as the scale of the fire looks certain to overwhelm the capacity of the pumps on those ships.

hardly anyone cares, hardly anyone is going to choose your product over a competitor's because yours has dark mode. For most companies this stuff is a distraction from the real work that matters. See also: achieving 100% lighthouse sco

When tether collapses it can take the whole crypto economy with it, including Compound. If you want to short it you have to do so in an indirect way, e.g. by shorting MSTR or COIN.

I've heard a lot of credulous people describing these reports as proof of aliens. To me the idea that aliens exist is unsurprising, but aliens being here would imply FTL is possible, and that would be a huge discovery!

Common telesales advice is to smile before you pick up the phone, because people can hear your smile and are generally more receptive to whatever you're going to say if you sound friendly. I wonder if this trick works in Russia?

I feel like they're pretty strongly incentivised to not improve it. They want to push people to the app, and they have enough traction and community lock-in that they're not really worried about losing traffic

No, I want us to stop wasting energy on anti-social ideas. I want governments to end an industry that produces a net-negative value and is at least 75% powered by coal. Shame on your defeatist, destructive attitude.

this sounds like "the beginner's guide to surviving the coming zombie apocalypse". Maybe you can prepare for a few days or weeks of isolation, but climate change does not just go away and get better. How long are your bullets
