An app called Dark Sky came out, powered by Forecast.io. Several months ago they rebranded the service to DarkSky.net which continues to power the Dark Sky app, along with other 3rd party apps like Forecast Bar.

In my experience, macOS has similar tricks. I got notifications for "Discover Safari!" even though Chrome was my default browser. Similarly, I got repeated prompts to upgrade to Sierra, which is just as much an "ad" as what you describe.

Hello HN!
This is a service I've written to send push NWS severe weather alerts for iOS apps (for now). It also allows you to set a time of day to get a daily forecast powered by Dark Sky over push. I'll be launching it soon, but wanted to see what you all think or recommend!

Does Google Docs or others allow anonymous authoring? I guess I'm not seeing the harm in requiring a free login.

Living in Mountain View and driving with Google's self driving cars every day, I have to say I think they are quite a bit further than you give them credit and those conditions appear to be less limited than you are letting on here.
Re:Comcast gets big tax break that was designed for Google Fiber

I was expecting to see a far higher figure. 2Gbps for $300 is certainly high, but not a joke in and of itself. What was the main intention of this law? If it was to spur higher bandwidth connections, it did so. If it was to lower costs, it seems obvious there should have been a cost factor to the law.

Thanks for reaching out! I'm specifically looking for certain events. For example, I use Answers to send a custom event each time a user does XYZ within the app. I'd love to be able to see those charts and high level figures from the app.

What is the harm done? Of course you don't "own" your operating system. You also paid nothing for it. I also struggle to grasp the double standard of why Google, Facebook, et al are able to endlessly track and personalize ads, but when Microsoft follows a similar model, there is outrage.

Definitely a good start. I'm hoping they add Answers integration to the app quickly as that is one of the more impactful Fabric uses for us.
Parse offered Cloud Code though, which runs your own Javascript functions and could do so as background jobs.

Staying above stall speed in a descent does not require any power. It is extremely common to perform a "power off" landing in a small plane, and these are often not in emergency cases.

I worked on this Android application which automatically uses your location and weather to find ultra-high-res images from Flickr to use as your background. Everything is handled automatically, and we have a curated and blocked list to ensure quality stays high.
Thanks for your opinions and feedback!

Perhaps I missed it, but is there any discussion on how their sharding mechanism works? How do they define a shard and where is ownership of various shards managed so a "non-owning node can redirect to an owning node"?
