   There was a serious FUD campaign started by one of the developers of now competing app Signal a few years ago. Now if you mention Telegram on Reddit you're immediately bombed with "OMG TELEGRAM CRYPTO IS BROKEN!" even though

   Or... you know... just use something like Telegram that isn't owned by Facebook. Their data-sharing / privacy policy is pretty simple https://telegram.org/privacy 1. Sharing data We never share your data with

   After the Wikileaks releases, we know without a doubt that the Democrat primaries were rigged for Clinton. Multiple people were forced to resign from high paying DNC posts over it. I see no reason to think that the actual election in Novemb

   It's network compatible with and syncthing clients. Syncthing is an open standard with dozens of client apps.

   SyncTrayzor (windows client implementing synching) is pretty nice. It runs as a tray icon but when you click it, it loads like a native app even though it's a web app (similar to electron)

    After having used Resharper for years and finally gotten rid of it last year because it was making my IDE run at 1/4 speed (i7 2.8ghz, 16GB ram), I sincerely hope their own full IDE experience is more performant.

    All welfare (direct payment from a government to an individual) systems are designed to make you poorer and more controllable. Universal basic income is no different in this regard.

    How is the performance on this compared to a bare metal install? IE how many FPS do you get with a native Steam install vs Dockerized Steam on the same hardware?

    Angular is a more full featured than React by itself. To get React to equivalent features you have to add on (and learn) several other things (Redux, WebPack, etc, etc). As a bonus, there are lots of different conflicting flavors-of-the-w

    Year over year sales drop, not quarter over quarter. They sold less this quarter of this year than the same quarter last year.

    If you think this is a steep decline, wait until they report earnings after this market closes this evening. Another quarter of iPhone sales drops and they're expect to announce iWatch down by over 50% from last year.

    I like their straight forward pricing. $0.10 USD per GB per month. No IOPS limits. That said, how do you prevent a rogue droplet from going crazy and hogging up all of the SSD I/O?

    Yeah, it would have to be a push notification. Running an actual IRC client that had to maintain connection on mobile would destroy your battery. Anyone aware of anything that works on mobile that does this?

    You're correct. It's even referred to as iVerge on reddit/r/Android (despite that sub being regularly trolled by the remaining Apple faithful). That said, if you speak ill of Apple on HN, you should be prepared to be dow

    Or they could just be using it as an excuse to get rid of high usage (non profitable) users. Encrypted files + you use a lot of storage and bandwidth = get kicked off.

    OVH is what we use for our side stuff. Pretty good as long as you never need support. Getting support was very slow.
