Two simple patterns (and there is nothing wrong with either one): - People who say crypto is a bubble missed to invest - People who hype crypto are invested However, the key is still to have a balanced portfolio and not just with crypto.

No it's not. While it's definitely a nice piece of tech all the smartphone addicts who heavily use Whatsapp, Instagram, an email client, etc want a device with a large screen, virtual keyboard and a camera. Don't tell us that

I am no fan of open-plan office or just going to an office but there is a huge difference between a cramped open-plan office and one where you have so much space around your and your peer's desk that you need a hoverboard to get to the

Expected a figure after inflation adjustment and not a calculation of the parts' cost at that time. Still interesting.

This is my most wanted feature for a browser. Anyone knows if every instance has not just a different cookies set but also different canvas fingerprints?

Very good interview. It shows that this feature is well thought-out and security-wise better than expected.

If he presents code then a HTML/CSS/JS system should be prefered aince syntax highlighting is easier. Something you can't get automatically done with the alternatives you mentioned.

After reading this article over and over I am still clueless. What is this all about? Feature-wise it doesn't sound better than a comment system from HN, Reddit or StackExchange. Besides, Mozilla is really lacking communicational skill

I like how people come up with new uses cases for headless Chrome. But for his use case ('presentation') there are tons of presentation libs/franeworks in HTML/JS/CSS which support code embeddings with syntax highli

'Broken screwdriver?' Don't get OP's analogy. Does he mean CSS? While CSS can sometimes be nerve-racking it's the most modern layouting system. There was a reason that the React Native team chose CSS' Flexbox f

Slighlty OT: Did run many chatsbots in various fields. Chatbots won't be the next big thing, not at all. Chats are a specific channel for more specific use cases, none of them created any killer app. Maybe we need more time but chatbot

> What does "and then nothing" mean SoundCloud? Just look at the recent downround. The 'incredible auccess' is decades ago. USV had its best times.

Since SoundCloud I am extra cautious with USV investments. They invest, pump (pulling other investors into their great opportunity) and then nothing.

I rather prefer a list of ICOs with a high potential and long-term perspective. That many ICOs are Ponzi or close to scam is nothing new.Such a list feels more like a personal justification for 'I don't need to invest, I won'

It depends, if this new field is something growing, something with a perspective (eg ML, crypto) then keep on. Your insecurity will be your biggest motivator pushing you to the limit. In one year you will be better than your peers. If this

OT but maybe the right place to ask: How can I as a marketplace avoid disintermediation where users try to deal directly with each other after a short while (eg Homejoy).

Yes I agree with the last example you brought, this was def complaining, I should work on that. A few times though, I got good feedback and was also able to make my point more clear after I asked about the reasons for the downvotes. Also, I

My notebook with Arch is my favorite. The reason: I can run the system without any desktop environment. I use just i3 as my window manager. Can't do this neither with Windows nor macOS.

IDK, I over-engineer my side projects every single time. Like tweaking for days something which is so clearly premature optimization. But sometimes I need that knowledge again for the next side project. And this over-engineering is often
