In this case, it's handled before the view instead of inside of it because it's managed by the OneSignal SDK as opposed to the app itself.

There's a fine line between excessive and helpful communications, and it's different for every person.
Hopefully we'll be able to be more intelligent about this to accommodate your preferences, but for now we're building for to empowering our customers to decide how to engage their users.

There's some truth to this. I think folks on Hacker News and in the Tech space broadly ought to remind themselves that they are power users, and their preferences are not representative of all users.

That's the vision, though it's not quite where we're at today. Once users have the option to subscribe to updates in the ways they want, and for the specific kinds of updates they want, we'll be in a much better place.

Yeah, sorry, I wasn't being sarcastically ironic or anything.

Brilliant innovation on the spatial audio. I love the barriers and proximity cliffs. A bit hard to find a specific someone.
It's like a frictionless, lightweight second-life. Congrats. Now we can have true house parties online.

Re:Steve Yegge Quits, Saying Google Is 100% Competitor Focused
on Wednesday January 24, 2018 @06:39PM (#16227390)
I'm not sure I agree with Steve that Google is 100% competitor focused. Yes, there are lots of fast-follows, but the fast-follows are innovative (such as Google Home), and the PM teams definitely focus more on user research than on competitive research. I mean, Google didn't exactly invent the Search Engine...
I do however believe that it is increasingly difficult at Google to enter new markets as an individual contributor. Nearly all new products require executive support before they can be meaningfully commenced. There are definitely increasingly strict controls on any public releases (even silent ones) centered around protecting the Google brand.
It kinda seems like Yegge was ready to move on and created post-hoc rationalization for it that was too broadly sweeping.
I also don't think the fetishization around innovation is really that useful. It's an ill-defined and abused buzzword.
