Nobody's talking about regulation. And I think you're confusing WindowsPhone for WindowsMobile by the way. My main issue was that these two OS's Palm and WP had a mountain to climb facing off against iOS and Android and it wa

An investigation that will lead nowhere seeing as there is no alternative. This is what happens when the tech press is cheered on for laughing off anyone that dares to compete with iOS and Android. Yes, I'm still very bitter about the

Are there any reliable information sources covering how the war is actually going? On any given day you can read both that Russia is struggling and that Ukraine is ceding territory fast.

For as much flack as LinkedIn gets everywhere, it seems from these comments to work pretty well as a path to landing a job. Current gig also via a random LinkedIn connection to a recruiter despite my profile being woefully out of date.

To the surprise of literally no one with a brain. I'm in awe of how much collective brain power has going to waste on crypto. Will we ever get these years back?

Oh wow. This moved me rather unexpectedly.

I'd love to know how "Moderna's HIV Vaccine Prepped for Trials in Rwanda and South Africa" doesn't fit the context.

Is there _anyone_ working in crypto (other than Vitalik) that is actually likable? All these guys seem so self important and smug that I have a hard time sympathizing with them.

The big player in this space is probably Paddle. Looking forward to some competition in this space

This is eerily similar to my experiences with two very, very good DBAs I worked with. I'm now wondering if there is something about the role that lends itself to such behavior. One day they are super pleasant, helpful and friendly. The

This is a war that Apple has already won even with their lower marketshare. I think the only interesting thing left in the mobile OS space is the idea of dumb smartphone OS's such as KaiOS for people who want to simplify their lives a

He is indeed brilliant, but simple language? I found myself opening a tab to a thesaurus multiple times reading this. :)

Makes you wonder what the thinking was to coin the acronym FAANG in the first place (at the expense of Microsoft no less)

Not very impressive compared to DALL-E, understandably.

Yep. I also find it very disingenuous how crypto enthusiasts use people in third world countries under oppressive regimes as their go to "why crypto matters" example while they themselves are only actually only in it for a big pay

Interesting coincidence. My 4 year old watches a show called Blippi and one of the episodes featured this guy. Pretty inspiring stuff

Which is fine frankly. Now everyone can have their own platforms with their own rules. I really don't see an issue with it

You're right, I had no idea about this sport. In my defence I did bring up chess as well, and I do believe there is a shooting event in the summer Olympics so my query still stands.

by skc 5y ago
Off-topic, but it's still bizarre seeing these people being referred to as athletes. There is a growing desire to make Chess an Olympic sport for example and that will be an even more bizarre example.

If those end up being the only people using crypto then what would have been the point of it?

That's a pretty mind-boggling number. And to rub more salt into the wound I'd bet almost every single Facebook employee is all-in on Apple hardware. So they are literally empowering the very company responsible for tanking their s

You get what you want out of it. My favorite use of HN is simply to get informed discussions on the pros and cons and alternatives to specific technologies I'm kicking the tires on. For example, if I'm looking for a good VPS host

My version is me running late for an exam and then frantically searching for the exam room the entire time as the clock ticks down. The wave of relief and euphoria that overcomes me when I wake up is literally spiritual.

It's somewhat mind boggling to me that the default messaging app for everyone that I know is WhatsApp. Everyone uses it from old people to young people to businesses. Doesn't matter if you're using iOS or Android or Windows o

People have been predicting the demise of Microsoft for going on twenty years now. Gets old frankly. They are incredibly diversified. If anything, they themselves no longer see Windows as the crown jewel, which would explain more than a few

I'm still looking in those emails for the oft quoted HN comment of "Apple does all the heavy lifting wrt payment processing and discovery so 30% is fair" All I see there is talk of how to make even more money.

I'm oddly intrigued by this. Watching someone really good at Excel is kind of jaw dropping.
