It's not "fix my code" when Safari doesn't even support the feature or it's simply broken - or most annoyingly, it works one day and breaks with an update. (See: webrtc stuff) You might have known the rules, but most users don't. Plenty will come to me saying they've tried both Safari and Chrome and that it won't work in either, indicating they have no knowledge of webkit.

Android also randomly breaks things now and then, but I can at least direct users to Firefox, which never seems to have any problems.

Please understand redirecting users to another browser is only ever a last resort. If I can fix the code I will, but sometimes something just stops working and I can't even reproduce it.

...and I have a teacher who is relying on my app for their classes this week and "try firefox" could save them...

You still can't use a non webkit browser though. It's Internet Explorer levels of non-competition. I would love to be able to say to my users, when they experience an issue with Safari - "you can try a different browser". But I can't because the same issue will be present in Chrome.

My cats very rarely go on a counter - since they were kittens, if I ever saw them there I would clap loudly and shout, shoo them off with my hands.

Fully legal and compliant GDPR cookie warnings are also awful UX and a pain in the ass. This should have been done at the browser level.

I use it as my primary spending debit card. I travel a lot, use it in random ATMs and I keep it topped up just enough that I wouldn't be devastated if the account contents were stolen. Also use the money transfer side monthly to pay rent in a foreign country.

Tintagel hackers represent! *tumbleweed

Not true. I and others I know use a TV only as a screen for videogames and do not watch TV in any form. You explicitly do not need a license just to own a TV.

For password reset?

I got a few animal abuse videos in an hour or so of swiping. It shows you these random videos in case you are interested. A few of these was enough to uninstall. I tried again some months later, and after awhile the recommendations get a little better, but there is still the occasional piece of awful content that gets thrown in there. In all cases I swiped past as quickly as possible.

As someone with similar project growth, I've played around with things like Adwords and generally failed or had a negative experience, wasting money with no results. Marketing seems... hard, and I don't really gave the funds to hire a professional. My main project is ad supported, rather than subscription, so that might make it harder.

Well, they are very different devices. The Quest is currently a one of a kind device when it comes to ease of use and setup. (Which makes it doubly annoying to me the Facebbok tie in. I adored the Quest one but I sent it back for a refund due to Facebook's ridiculous decision not to allow multiple user accounts. A device which I'm not using 95% of my time cannot easily be shared with other family members?! Utter madness. /rant)

It was July the lockdown was lifted and pubs and restaurants were reopened. I think that counts as major.

If this was an open network, it would be very cool indeed. But... I'm assuming it's not.

Because not everyone is scummy, and it's obvious that they would be in the wrong? I also imagine something attention grabbing like a western politician will get more care taken than some random educational company in India.

You really don't think permissionless, programmable money has any utility? And while Bitcoin may have some flaws, there are subsequent coins that solve most of its issues.

Thank you, and I do love your service. It would be nice to see a post mortem on what went down. /goes to sleep

Feeling kind of the same... I just completed moving my entire app and all user data from AWS. And here we are!

yup, here desperately migrating to the regular b2 API...

The first thing I notice is their Brain Flakes (TM) looks exactly like something I played with at school as a kid some 25-30 years ago (albeit the pieces were a little larger)

Instead, those responsible for revealing it have spent considerable time, and still are, in jail.

I run a website with no account or login. Is there any way to get 1-2 USD/CPM in revenue without using a privacy destroying ad network?

He did forsee that, if you read his writings.

those prices are certainly nicer!

unfortunately my current and income-giving project takes priority. but if someone else makes it, I'll use it for sure.

this. the only way I can make profit with my web service is by using a third party low budget CDN as a caching layer. Even with that, S3 data transfer remains my biggest cost. if I could spare the time, I'd make a custom caching layer so that S3 is never hit at all except for upload, and is used only for disaster recovery.

No, they chose not to interview him at the embassy or via weblink, because had they done so, the case would have been closed. They rather keep it open.

people like to point out the weaknesses in this every time it is submitted, but the fact is: it's the only example in its class, and that makes it interesting. it would be amazing to see a funding drive and some experts improve it, but for whatever reason, that is not happening. it seems like any kind of desktop skype alternative takes a back seat to mobile apps

Cryptocurrencies can be scaled to VISA levels on chain with today's hardware. And probably much further with future hardware advances. Is that "enough"?

The only argument that is ever presented is that huge blocks harm "decentralisation" - not that it cannot be done.

>Satoshi is a team employed by something very rich, probably a government

Or perhaps a bunch of guys from the offshore gambling industry...
