Unlikely that we'll see improvements in Fabric services for a while... presumably, engineering resources will be focused on integrating with Firebase :( Anyone recommend alternatives for Crashlytics & Digits?

At the end of the day, it comes down to trusting WhatsApp. Even without a backdoor in their protocol, they can easily do all kinds of things. For instance, it could instruct specific clients to encrypt and send each message twice: one for t

Interesting, your app store description mentions previous launches from before June 2016. Seems like you got some solid attention on previous launch(es), what kind of traction are you looking for on your definitive launch? Big fan of the Ai

Yes, definitely feasible, but challenging. Some ideas: a) Focus on a niche, like the best search experience for hackers, or best search experience on mobile for high school students, etc. b) Do content-based ranking, ie. figure out the good

This comment and the parent comment are some of the most insightful things I've read on HN, thanks! Haven't considered genetic engineering's risk from a computational perspective, but this is absolutely spot on! Unlike other

Consider that some people have meaningful jobs. If they're not working solely for the money, it's understandable that they'll do some work outside the office.

TSA pre-check is actually a good honeypot for finding bad people. Regular TSA is a joke, so having these people skip it is fine. But coming up with a shortened list including most evil doers is golden. I'm sure they scrutinize the heck

Omitting tipping and taxes from prices is deceitful and annoying, but it promotes consumerism and getting people to spend more. The key for restaurants is to minimize the menu item price when you decide what to order. Even if you have a men

Accept the VC funding! From pg: "If someone makes you an acceptable offer, take it. If you have multiple incompatible offers, take the best. Don't reject an acceptable offer in the hope of getting a better one in the future."
