I don't hate it, but given a choice I wouldn't use it. It's not very intuitive. I felt like I was wasting time trying to deal with it, and never exactly sure why it wasn't working, rather than getting stuff done. My next project used Trello (only for Kanban-related activities) and I was much more productive.

I assume the 800k is because of vested stock with strong share growth.

6 years is a short time in cryptography. That isn't battle-tested.

"Even worse, security doesn't provide immediate feedback. A dead patient on the operating table tells the doctor that maybe he doesn't understand brain surgery just because he read a book, but an insecure cryptosystem works just fine. It's not until someone takes the time to break it that the engineer might realize that he didn't do as good a job as he thought. Remember: Anyone can design a security system that he himself cannot break. Even the experts regularly get it wrong." -- Bruce Schneier

> I cannot understand why people insist on hating Telegram for their choice of tradeoff between convenience and privacy.

I recall the anger is not about any trade off. It is that they rolled their own poor crypto instead of using battle-tested crypto. There’s no convenience factor or trade off here, they just literally did the thing the textbooks tell you not to do, and have ignored the industry’s calls to use strong crypto.

I noticed their virus scanner stopped working (virustotal?) about an hour ago...

The linked page includes Mac OSX Yosemite as an option, and I've logged into Chase with a Mac for years. This title doesn't sound correct...

> I can’t understand the doctors that didn’t say fuck it I don’t care what these morons think and didn’t just vaccinated the kid.

Probably because they didn’t want to lose their medical license, and make their degree (that they’re still paying back their debt on) suddenly worthless?

A blog article would be nice. Sounds interesting, but I’m having a hard-time understanding. If it’s replaying requests, how do you get it to do things like go to the next pagination and click on all of the next paginated results?

Have you tried marriage counseling?

Fits my tiny iPhone SE screen fine. What phone do you have?

Where did you get all of this information about Pakistan and India's nuclear strategy or lack thereof? Do you have a source or evidence for what you're claiming here?

> they believe up to 80 percent or more of the lat-long data available there is fake. No one has stopped to think about where that data has come from and why a publisher would choose to sell it all to a vendor who is going to build a business on top of their data. What’s actually happening is these ad tech vendors are trying to pad out the limited data they already own with other data sets from competitive vendors or other unknown sources.

Sounds more like textbook fraud than a Ponzi scheme (though, honestly I did not read the whole article).

The article does not make it clear what's special about the special dive maneuver? It makes it sound like secret magic. Does anyone know?

Wasn’t VRBO available (globally) long before AirBnB? I thought AirBnB just stole the idea and had the VC capital to scale it

I was curious if this would beat James Webb to space, but this is targeted for middle of the 2020s while NASA appears to be pushing for James Webb to get up to space in the next couple years. Fingers crossed!

> In testimony before Congress in July 2018, NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine proposed slowing down the development of WFIRST in order to accommodate a cost increase in the James Webb Space Telescope, which would result in decreased funding for WFIRST in 2020/2021.

Interesting, I've always been informed that waiting one day is sufficient. But, didn't the backdoor roth get closed in the recent tax change?

In the US, a Roth IRA is somewhat similar, except it differs from what you described: early withdrawals have a penalty, and the contribution "room" is different. With the IRA, you can only contribute up to the $6000 annually. You don't accumulate "room", just principal. If you miss it, you miss it.

That's fantastic, I hadn't thought of this. I'm going to keep an eye out for curb suitcases now. Thanks for sharing

> I think they're pretty clear in the article that the problem is that there is no centralized place to ship the waste.

We've been trying to solve this problem for years, but they're being contested and underfunded.

Wait, one of these freelancers worked 63,000 hours on the platform? They must be outsourcing themselves... That's 30 forty-hour work years (divided by 2080 hours in a year).

How many days in California caused this to be triggered?

Looking at the CA non-resident form, I don't see how you have to pay taxes in CA:

>It's 13% - that's about the same as sales tax in many places

No, not really.. You're free to choose states with sensible department of revenues.

Wyoming has a 4-6% sales tax, nowhere near the 13% you're arguing about. If capgains of 13% is levied upon 10mil, that's 1.3mil.... while Wyoming's 4-6% sales tax is (obviously less than half that) only levied upon actual purchases (which in practice is way lower).

I also hate AMP, but I still disagree that downloading an app is better than using the browser (on a slow connection). If I already have the app, great— but I don’t want to download every app on earth “just in case”.
