gressquel··on YouTube CEO on Facebook video ambitions: 'They should get back to baby pictures'
Because there are all sort of signs that Facebooks decline has begun. Read yesterdays top posts on HN.
gressquel··on Facebook lost around 2.8M U.S. users under 25 last year
the growth they present is not telling the whole truth. So called MAU and DAU can be for example a person like me who hasnt been on fb.com for 2 months, yet when I visit newspapers and scroll to bottom I see facebook comments section with my profile picture on. Meaning FB will now count me as an DAU/MAU.

Look beyond those selective statistics, FB.com is dead.

gressquel··on GDPR: sorting the fact from the fiction
Our company receives sensitive data from external members by email, which is considered insecure. So we need to buy or create our own solution to receive these files encrypted.

Does anyone here have github repo to such a solution?

gressquel··on Facebook hired a full-time pollster to monitor Zuckerberg’s approval ratings
Seems like panic is starting to take hold. Unfortunately, neither this or the news feed update is gonna change the tide, its just too late. The transformation to Orkut/MySpace has already began and I am loving it.

The social media experiment has failed, its become too big and caused too much psychological damage on individuals. I look forward to more and more niche communities :)

gressquel··on Lost so much $ on cryptocurenecy . what to do
I am so sorry to hear it. First you have to do is cut your losses. Sell all the crypto and widthdraw them to your banks asap. Its all collapsing like a house of cards.

Secondly, zoom out and reflect on your life. You have your health, probably a caring family and new opportunities in life. Do something you like, and enjoy your life.

gressquel··on How Google Chrome’s ad blocker works
Kudos to the blog for not having silly facebook sharing button. Thanks for protecting my privacy / reading log
gressquel··on Bitcoin Drops Below $8,000 as Cryptocurrency Pain Continues
the thing is, tether/finex was instrumental in keeping up the hype during the great rise where every news outlet reported it. It was also what kept bitcoin from falling too fast after reaching top. Now as its been subpoenaed, things are looking grim. But I do think it wont fall paste 3000$
gressquel··on U.S. Regulators to Subpoena Crypto Exchange Bitfinex, Tether
a little correction. Tether and Bitfinex were exposed in Panama Papers as sister companies. They are not two unrelated as they say they are. Even more reason to stay away from Bitfinex and USDT
gressquel··on U.S. Regulators to Subpoena Crypto Exchange Bitfinex, Tether
yes, when people try to cash out their USDT to real USD the exchanges are going to collapse like house of cards because appearently the fake USDT is not 1:1 backed to real USD.

Note: only exchanges supporting USDT (tehter) is going to get hit hard, other exchanges such as BitStamp will probably see a downtrend but not going to crash

gressquel··on U.S. Regulators to Subpoena Crypto Exchange Bitfinex, Tether
market already starting to dip. Down another 6% right after this news go out
gressquel··on U.S. Regulators to Subpoena Crypto Exchange Bitfinex, Tether
Its shocking how they have been allowed to continue printing "fake money" for so long. There were rumours going around long before christmas.

Its about time this 'scam' was exposed.

gressquel··on China builds ‘world’s biggest air purifier’ and it seems to be working
AMP is all fine, but most of the newspapers are lured to implement it by Google with promise of higher page rank on its search results. It all ends up in a walled garden and when the publishers are reliant on it, Google will control the chain of supply. Disgusting behaviour. Just waiting for more people to lobby in EU so they get another fine.
gressquel··on China builds ‘world’s biggest air purifier’ and it seems to be working
Please refrain from using AMP links. We need to take a stance against Googles abuse of monopoly.
gressquel··on Facebook Overhauls News Feed to Focus on What Friends and Family Share
yes, but to counterbalance this they will making companies/pages pay to get articles into newsfeed or on frontpage one way or another.
gressquel··on Improving URLs for AMP Pages
I have been thinking about creating a reference group in Europe to lobby against googles abuse of monopoly. EU has shown time after time that it cares more about its citizens than about how much money countries can make.

If anyone is interested PM me.

gressquel··on Dogecoin just broke $2B
bitcoin bubble burst has just begun. Look at the charts. People are in denial phase. All the alts are following BTC
gressquel··on Americans are having less sex and researchers are blaming Netflix
Netflix and chill
gressquel··on An update on Better Ads (Chrome native ad-blocking)
An attempt by Google to take over the Adblocking market and thus maintain their own whitelist which will obviously not block Adsense ads. I have already moved over to firefox
gressquel··on How the Rohingya Escaped
And Yemen. The US cannot solve every conflict in the world but I wish it would atleast stand up against the thhird party countries that backs vile murderous regimes. Russia in Syria and China in Myanmar (and they are also starting to influence other countries in Asia). We, the oppressed peopleof this world, needs a stronger US. Not the one retreating as under Trump.
gressquel··on How the Rohingya Escaped
Sei lankan war was “led” by buddhist monks and their hatred for hindus
gressquel··on How the Rohingya Escaped
Writing this on my iPad so excuse my spelling errors:

There is so much evil in this world, what the Rohingya face today my own people endured in 2009. At the hands of thr Sri Lankan government, who also happens to be buddhistic, ten thousands of innocent Tamils were massacred. Women and children raped. Babies murdered.

The UN wrote a huge report findng the Sri Lankan government guilty only for China and Russia to veto against any juridicial proceeding.

One of the reason i am so dissapointed in Trump, he doesnt seem to understand when good retreats, evil will triump. Not everything in this world is about fair transaction of money for goods and service. When the oppressed in 3rd world countries look for justice, they look for strong powers of democracy, they look upto US.

Throughout history US would come to aid, today its about bowing down to communist human rights abusers like China for fair trade and access to its market.

gressquel··on Bitcoin and almost every other cryptocurrency crashed hard today
Downvote me all you want, but HN really needs to cure this bitcoin-jealousy. Yes, people who invested early became millionares and billionares with a single mouse click. I know it feels unfair when you spend countless hours creating and innovating and not being rewarded. But some of you here needs to stop hating and being bitter. I have been watching HN and bitcoin related threads for months now. Same pattern.
gressquel··on Show HN: A proxy service for debugging HTTP/S traffic
Moderns app use SSL pinning, same with big websites using HSTS. So this won't really decrypt HTTPS traffic
gressquel··on Did American Missile Defense Fail in Saudi Arabia?
I think its the THAAD https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_High_Altitude_Area_De...
gressquel··on Did American Missile Defense Fail in Saudi Arabia?
its an excellent piece of journalism. The author and his helpers have done alot of researching and produced a very informative article. How one can accuse this for propaganda I don't know. Are you a russian troll or something?
gressquel··on How would you invest $100K USD aggressively?
bitcoin, you may get 10x in six months
gressquel··on Google plans to 'de-rank' Russia Today and Sputnik to combat misinformation
about time, I hope this de-rank happens on other google owned platforms too, such as YouTube
gressquel··on Ask HN: Who's switched from Chrome to Firefox 57?
I just switched. Long time chome user aswell. The new FF has adopted the same design as Chrome and that is what brought me over. I think Chrome will lose some market share soon. I am actually a loyal person but Google started abusing its power to dictate how developers should write code. Aswell as putting unecessary constraints on things. Pissed me off
gressquel··on Bitcoin Cash has Surpassed Bitcoin in global hashrate [Nov 13 2017]
sorry.. my mistake. I meant kicked out of US after serving jailtime.
gressquel··on Bitcoin Cash has Surpassed Bitcoin in global hashrate [Nov 13 2017]
also one more thing. Bitcoin cash is a altcoin backed by some dubious people:

-Some swedish guy who claims he is the CEO of bitcoin cash. Who is also a pirate party member

-Roger ver, who has been kicked out of US after serving jailtime.

-Wright, a guy who impersonated satoshi nakamoto and was exposed

+ alot more.

these people want to take control of bitcoin and make it a centralized currency.
