I can also confirm that logging out (incognito tbh) fixed the errors for me in the past.

Yup, I was on an international trip with hardly any data allowance when all of a sudden my messages stopped sending, and I couldn't receive any new ones... That'll never happen with SMS. I love Signal, but some of their product decisions have been questionable.

This comes off as a disingenuous response, by typing out a large block of text while neglecting to address any of the individual concerns written in the article. "it’s just data from our survey" is a cop out -- the presentation of data is just as important as the data itself, and the concerns of underlying bias via communication model presented by Zach all seem reasonable to myself.

It's fine to not be an expert in Data Analysis, and if it's true that the company no longer employs someone with those skills, there should be a greater willingness to make adjustments and corrections when problems are raised with publicized analysis.

Not OP, but I got this with uBlock Origin earlier.

I mostly agree, and usually feel like a grouchy old man for it. Been doing FE for a long while, jQuery into stuff like Meteor, then early Angular and Ember... There were a lot of frustrations but I found that they were more easily overcome, and past a certain point I've felt like we aren't getting any more technologically superior with reimagined frameworks, but rather just finding a new flavour of the month.

Conversely, React Native (and other similar solutions, even Electron which I love to hate) are AMAZING and I feel like it's such a breath of fresh air compared to pure native app development. They have their ups and their downs, and they're not always the best solution for a given problem, but they've brought so much opportunity for dev efficiencies within companies and allowed solutions to be built that would've otherwise been cost-ineffective in the past.

There's a lot more detail in a Reddit thread[1], but essentially an outage of the newer AI model forced them to downgrade to an older model, and the content moderation tools didn't catch the questionable jokes this time...

hate to say, but this is my way... EAC to flac and leave it on a NAS, then XLD to apple lossless on my macbook and sync to my iPhone... working great for me so far

I'd really love to get more insight into the Dec 30 -> Jan 3 time frame, since that's where everything meaningful happened... From the outside it's hard to tell WHY the lower level employees are completely incapable of driving a resolution, whether they're underpaid and apathetic, or if management has crippled them from making any decisions on their own. It's amazing that they don't have better processes in place after seeing HN escalation posts for years on end.

Because one of the most common themes on HN are Stripe complaint posts immediately getting the attention of Edwin? I recall Patrick being more active on product announcements / otherwise positive news. I appreciate their level of reactivity here, and the truth is complaining on HN really does eyeballs on problems where their internal processes seem too broken to help.

Quite the opposite in Canada unfortunately, specifically Ontario but other provinces may be a joke as well... Can't turn off alerts, and we're well known for sending them out in the middle of the night, or just sending test alerts with no significant value. Thankfully silent mode turns them into vibrations, I feel sorry for those who use ringtones. Moved back here after living in SF for so long and this feels ass backwards, far preferred the optionality y'all are given.

interesting how the chief people officer was able to leave twice in one day...

linked article makes it clear that it was the chief product officer

take that entire thread of his with a MOUNTAIN of salt, i certainly wouldn't be quoting it as proof in relation to twitter actions.

(source: worked there a long time before Sacks entered, til after he left.)

thank you sooooo much for sharing this, because I've been on here for what seems like forever and never had this explained... resolves one of my bigger gripes about behaviour of the ranking algorithm, I only wish details / stories like this were more widely shared

In the developer options on Android theres a setting "show touches", though I'm not sure if that'd show up on an external display or only the device...

The Shadow of the Wind

Look at the sales trend graph. He said $9k from Friday to Sunday, which add up to ~100,000 downloads.

He's already said this will be his last jump [1]

For me it wouldn't load in Chrome but works perfectly in Firefox (on OSX)...

GMT-5, though I guess it actually is 28th at GMT+0.. Point was just that it still says "Return between the 28th and 30th September to claim your gift", so whoever is supposed to activate the deal hasn't done so yet (and since their office is in England they are probably still asleep)

Offer is valid starting tomorrow (between the 28th and the 30th)

Was it for all pages or just G+ pages? The only time I saw it before was after a Youtube UI update (long before G+), and I was sad I couldn't use it elsewhere on their site... Definitely glad that it's been rolled out to more parts of their site now.

Relative resolutions. "By default, the new MacBook Pro ships in a pixel-doubled configuration, meaning you actually get an equivalent to a 1440-by-900-pixel resolution. This offers no actual increase in desktop space over that of the current standard non-retina MacBook Pro, but the increased pixel density means that items onscreen can appear much sharper than they did before." [1]

The point of having the pixels is so that stuff looks sharper. 1680x1050 is a lot more screen real estate = more job for the windowing system to display everything nicely. Same thing for running it at full 2880x1800 resolution.

The key point I think is line space. Getting set up for production is quite a bit of work, and given that their new contract is for 30,000/month, the manufacturers clearly didn't want to set up an entire production line if they may only get a couple of months of usage out of it (since the original order would've been only in the tens of thousands).

Would rather post this on the blog, but since I can't I'll put it here...

Given that the "chairman" refers to the chairman (Lee Kun-hee) of Samsung Electronics, consider these numbers:

Samsung Electronics revenue in 2011: $149 billion USD

Samsung Telecommunications revenue in 2011: $21 billion USD

Even in a North American style business he would probably have more pressing concerns than a ruling that affects only a very small part of the business he is overseeing. Given that Samsung is a Korean multinational, we're talking about a completely different culture and business style, where the top few layers of people probably don't need to know about this sort of thing right away.

One of the biggest selling points of BufferBox originally (to me) was that it was in the main student building of uWaterloo so pickup can be any time and you don't have to miss class or go all the way to a post office. Given that they've already expanded to Union Station in Toronto, their next expansions will likely be targeting similar situations (places where people with busy lifestyles go on a daily basis). So chances are you won't be getting a BufferBox nearby for a while.

Regarding price, IIRC the prices for service (in the Beta at least) were extremely attractive, only a few bucks for the couple of credits needed for a decent sized box. For larger item's I'd probably find a cheaper way to get it shipped direct and avoid their charges, but for small items (4 or 5 books from Amazon maybe) their fee is pretty insignificant.

May I suggest consolidating some of the links on the home page? Stuff like contact and about are usually together, and right now everything around the border is distracting me from the main product.

Why pay any more than the minimum 50 cents when the effective price per chapter of the complete book is 49.5 cents? A free first chapter would probably be better at getting people hooked (assuming it's actually a good book)

(ignoring the translation to a representation a machine can understand) asking when the best time to sow crops requires domain knowledge and lots of analysis, asking to be called upon a certain event is simply implementing a rule.

Sure, something like Siri could be incredibly useful in the future if we can architect it properly, but comparing the current "personal assistant" to a knowledge engine that can answer any possible question is like comparing a Wright Brothers plane to a modern fighter jet.

TLDR: author goes far overboard with his conclusion, nothing new ...
