How did you know which apps have ads? Until recently it was not shown anywhere I think?

This is hardly the first time I would remove them from such list. Not that they would ever get there with the weather there :)

I was actually implying that the submission was not upvoted solely because of its content. Because, let's be frank, the content is not worth to be the top submission on HN when compared to what one can usually find there. Even the &quo

I wasn't complaining about the submission itself, but rather the fact that it was the top post at the moment.

Why is this at the top of HN now? Do you find this idea to be that revolutionary? (I guess not as someone linked other similar project (and you downvoted him)) Do you find this project in particular to be that interesting? (Doubt it with th

It does sound like this happened 7 years ago though.

Also race if you are using it for certain markets. And perhaps setting (casual/business).

If only there were a viable technical solution. I don't want subscription(s), but I'd gladly pay ~5c to read an article. I just can't. In theory I could on mobile I guess, but then it's 30% to someone who does nothing, a

I already posted about their superb ad format[1], but it happens to be an ad that is shown to premium users as well. Is it Spotify's negligence, intended malice or they just don't have control over the ads they show? 1. https:&#x

They could, but that would lead to players that actually paid complaining (to tinybuild, not reseller). Ubisoft did it, I don't remember it playing out very well for them. But I guess that's the only way to stop G2A and the likes

Aren't the files matched by checksums though? I.e. you have a checksum and that's how tracker knows what you want?

PHP is also cheap to write (in theory; the programmers are cheaper).

Well, I might overstated how slow it was to check them out in serial. They are still PITA thanks to specific behavior, missing features (both in git and in 3rd party tools such as bitbucket), etc.. The benefits oftentimes overshadow the iss

I haven't been following releases for a while, it's nice to see that submodules can now (2.8) be actually used. Just curious, were there any changes to sparse-checkout? It had abysmal performance in pre-2.x if you threw more elabo

Depends on the market. 7% in Poland (and that's not their top market). Still quite a lot considering the "Opera" doesn't exist anymore (since 2012?) and what is now Opera is actually a branded Chromium with some extra fe

They are of course. Which is why Opera's built-in ad blocker display's Google's ads by default. So the advertisers that pay browser vendors actually benefit.

Opera has built-in adblocker (with filters).

Yeah, that was a no-go for me (might reconsider since you posted the prices here). It really sucks that many shops still do this. It makes sense sometimes (when you have large inventory with different sizes and thus shipping costs) to not h

It seems that there were unusually large amounts traded on Friday.

Very small suggestion: get rid of that progress/animation in company details. The one that makes you wait couple of seconds every time you open the tab to see remote percentage and so on.

I actually meant the latter, but I think I was wrong as I can't find any reliable source. Just found one weird that placed Tesla in the top 10. I must have read it in some discussion I guess.

(Most* ) shorted stock means a lot of people would like it to fall. Can't hurt to help. (*edited, not the most)
