I agree. HN has shaped the person I am. I don't have friends or co-workers that talk about topics such as depression, burnout, and personal growth. The comments posted often serve as a passive mentorship for me. I wish I didn't have to depend on a message board for help, but I'm happy it's here. I want to thank you all for being open and honest and I want to thank Dang personally for making it all work.

I read the article, but I'm still stuck on why Apple is asking for IAP to be included. Is the argument: "Hey, your app works with subscription services. You need to give Apple users the option to purchase via the App Store."

If so, why doesn't Fastmail (from what I can tell) offer IAP? Isn't this the same idea?

Unless I'm mistaken, all three are available on iOS right now. You can reply to a specific message, you can add/remove/leave a group iMessage, and you can name (and emoticon) group chats.

Good idea. However, I browse on iOS. Is there some extensions on there to accomplish this?

I know this is a low quality comment, but I wanted to take a moment to say that I think this looks incredible. Sleek, professional, private, and packed with utility. Great work.

>Spoken like somebody with no skin in the game.

I am empathetic to the situation but that's a limited view on "skin". Those who are or have loved ones (colleagues, friends, etc) in the high risk categories also have skin in the game. The 783,000 COVID-19 deaths have permanently affected tens of millions of lives.

Slide is also on iOS.

>Which of course leaves me wondering how long it is before reddit pulls the plug on their API and forces people to use the busted mobile site or their app.

Of course. How will they do it? That's yet to be seen. Instead of pulling the API entirely, I'd bet they simply wont introduce API for new features. This will leave 3rd party apps as inferior while Reddit doesn't have to deal with the backlash of pulling the API entirely. I'd argue this is already occurring.

If you're signed into the "Calendar" app on Windows 10, you can see upcoming meetings by clicking on the time in the taskbar.

The video is a simple demonstration. If you want more details, there's an accompanying website and white paper published by MIT [1].

FYI: You can turn it off in settings.

It's not reasonable to compare on resolution alone. Not to mention, the iPhone 6S and Pixel were both flagship devices in the period OP is discussing.

I don't smoke nor am I Thai and it impacted me. The video made me think about habits I hold and how it might make me feel to see a child imitate them. Maybe it's because I see children as having endless potential and I as having already exhausted mine. Maybe it's because I see children as innocent and I as not.

Is it the government's job to hold the proverbial hot potato in events like this?

Just for kicks: what is your preferred title?

Is there a benefit to using Slack and e-mail if there's no distinction in the use case? Perhaps that's where I'm differing from others here.

I check (and respond to) e-mails multiple times a day. I said that in the comment you're replying to. Your replies make it clear that you do not have experience at scale. Replying to e-mails in 2-3 hours is not "someone who doesn't check email" and receiving 200+ e-mails where most could "be 3 - 10 work slack messages" is not effective nor efficient leadership.

Slack prevents deep work.

I respond to e-mails 2-4 times a day during task transitions. The sender does not anticipate an immediate response so the 1-2 hours delay is OK.

Compare this to Slack which requires constant monitoring where senders anticipate an immediate response. Not to mention the increase in casual "water cooler" conversations.

The find the same people that recommend Slack are the same people that recommend 3-hour meetings. It's procrastination veiled as productivity.

It looks like you can utilize an IRC client for Twitch chat: https://twitchtv.desk.com/customer/en/portal/articles/130278...

I have scheduled a meeting for EOW. The meeting will be my forum to discuss this issue with the decision makers. Hence, I am looking for suggestions on how to approach what will be a difficult conversation for me.

I think I will do as you suggest: let them know I'm struggling, provide options, and see where it goes. I am to the point where, even if I like this place, I will be looking for another opportunity if it's not resolved.

I think you're right. I guess what I'm looking for is advice on how to speak to the issue. I tend to have the habit of ranting and going on-and-on. I also find that when I try to curb this, my words can seem sharp and forceful.

Thank you. How did you word what you said? I don't want to come across as aggressive or giving a strong ultimatum.

There is not. There's maybe a part I could automate, but the bulk of the frustrating parts is speaking with sales, speaking with customers, etc. This task is something nobody else is willing to do. It's basically a "hot potato" situation with different departments.

It's more of an ongoing responsibility that I would like to stop doing. It needs to be done, but it's draining me. The process is extensive to the point that I do not have the time left over to do a good job on my other responsibilities. In addition, it's more of an administrative task that is preventing me from improving other processes and/or learn other tasks.

Don't forget the ugliness that is AMP. I understand the pursuit of answers rather than links, but for a variety of reasons, it's not working. DDG is nice, but the results are often lackluster (especially local results, as you say).

The sad reality is, I am having trouble discovering new content online even if I have a fairly specific search query. I am fed a list of the same websites ad nauseam.

I can't find much in regards to in-depth discussions, interesting blogs, or thought-provoking material. The worst part is, for communities that do provide this content, secrecy is a feature not a bug.

I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for helping create an amazing browser. Best wishes!

>who can compete with Tesla

Perhaps in theory. In reality, Ford & GM are slow to move, slow to adopt, and not seen as a "luxury" / "cool" car manufacturer. I am not a Tesla fanatic, but you must admit it seems they're gaining a bigger and bigger competitive advantage.
