Cool, we're busy working on RSS importing now. Should be up in a day or two.

We're definitely keen to do both of these things when our time/resources permit. What would be the first step you'd like to see here?

Agreed, that makes sense.

If it’s not an offence then it should have a right to be removed. If it is a legal offence like DUI, then it should remain.

Agreed, if something can’t be defended with reference to a legal offence or proceeding then it should have the right to be forgotten / removed.

Again, strawman. An accusation is not a fact. If someone writes something about you and cannot defend it by reference to recorded legal offence or proceeding then it should be taken down.

Maybe, but public interest is subjective. The line should probably be drawn at legal offenses. If you commit a sexual offense (e.g. sex in public) that warrants a police record, it should remain. However, if your privacy is violated by someone else when you were not committing an offense then you should have the right for that to be forgotten.

Equating this to a "life sentance" is a strawman argument. It's a matter of factual record. Opening up the door to allow people to erase facts (of offenses) about themselves will be exploited, just as it is being done in this article.

Why are some of the comments here defending the deletion of facts? If it's a fact that you've stabbed someone and there is a police record to uphold that then you should not have the right for that to be forgotten.

It's in the interest of other people to know if you have done something like this previously (that warrants a police record) and also serves as a deterrent to other potential perpitrators.

This article is interesting because it's an example of how the original intention of the law is being exploited. Surely, this can just be refined with an amendment.

SeedTable sent out a newsletter last Friday about this but with additional insights on the French tech scene. Also worth a read: https://us8.campaign-archive.com/?u=32b602d9ab9d238ceb45e3f0...

This is the real story, right here. Turning old subterranean public toilets into cafes and bars is just another London food scene gimmick.

Does this BTC valuation graph not look like a massive pump and dump or am I missing something?

Nice, I've been there with Django cookies too. One thing, I love about the programming industry is that people aren't afraid to write blog posts to debunk the bullshit expectations that develop every now and then. Not something you really see elsewhere.

- Get https://able.bio off the ground and go full-time on it.

- Use Able influence to set up training and work facilities for programming in rural communities across South Africa (my home country). Enable them to export code to bring income to their communities.

- 2 kids and at least 1 dog.

- Buy and convert a barn in southern Sweden.

- Learn about C++, compilers and networking protocols.

Interesting to see Apple starting to move into the web app product space (aside from iCloud, of course). Must say though that performance feels a bit sluggish (esp. hover states) on a Macbook Pro (tested in Firefox, Chrome and Safari).

Agreed, it takes on average 5 - 7 seconds per page load from our office with a good connection in central London.

Zepel looks great, a much cleaner and more pleasant experience than JIRA. Everyone uses JIRA because it's become synonymous with agile, so companies purchase and use JIRA to show that they're agile. In practice though, JIRA is ridiculously cumbersome and slow. It's time for it to be challenged.

If you can market yourself as a simpler and faster way for agile teams to run projects, and deliver on that, then you'll probably get some decent traction with SMBs and work your way up from that. Make teams feel like they'll be agile by using Zepel.

Great work and good luck!

"The word Garage doesn't mean anything pertinent other than its name comes from the legendary Paradise Garage nightclub in New York City where DJ Larry Levan would play anything he damn well pleased."

"Today what most people think is House music is actually Garage. And what most people think is Garage is some dodgy nonsense the British sharted into their trousers. Someone should really try and set the record straight about that. Like make a guide or something."

I love a bit of UK Garage but laughed out loud when I read that line about trousers. This Ishkur guy is a beast.

Missed that, thanks for pointing it out.

These codes could benefit from some sort of distinct prefix so that users, browsers and apps could identify it as an open location code and treat it as such apart from a random string. Other examples being things like @username or #hashtag.

From participating in that, my experience was that it’s really hard to disrupt in cybersecurity because businesses are skeptical about using young companies with no reputation and a beta product.

So it’s hard to start showing revenue or traction to get funded. The hunt for revenue then also forces you to focus on things like phishing protection instead of discovering zero days.

Haven't worked in NYC but I've worked in London for 3.5 years and am in the process of leaving/going remote because I don't rate the quality of life here at all and I'm exhausted from it. Things that take its toll for me:

1. Too. Many. People. You can barely book a restaurant or get a seat anywhere. 2. Nothing works. Trains, airports and mobile network reception. 3. Commuting. Rush hour is crowded, the tubes are disgusting, getting anywhere across town takes at least an hour so you rarely want to risk trekking somewhere unless you know it will be worthwhile/you can get in. 4. Renting / moving house is super stressful. Estate agents are constantly exploiting you.

A whole bunch of my friends raved about London a few years ago which is why I came out but I don't think it is what it used to be. That being said, there is a lot of opportunity here and you can earn well if you hustle. I'd suggest you look at starting out as a contractor.

I think there are better places to live and work in tech, in other European cities like Berlin, Stockholm and Amsterdam.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Google benefits by crawling the content everyone else creates and by being the aggregator for consumers. So it’s unfair to use other people’s content for rich snippets and not reciprocate by referring traffic.

It's the first thing I check when I wake up in the morning!

macOS

I didn't know about that download icon. I must have removed it when customising the UI. Thanks!

Agreed, I'm sure if Mozilla could do it they would.

To be fair, Firefox actually has a lot of good stuff and you can get its UI to match the Chrome experience quite easily. The Developer Tools are also quite good.

Biggest issue for me is not being able to import passwords from Chrome. I have to switch back to Chrome if I need to access some web services quickly, so building up saved passwords in a browser makes it more sticky. There's probably a reason for not being able to do this though.

It also starts to get a bit sluggish when you have a couple (6-7) heavy JS/DOM tabs open.

File download UI could be better. Skip the confirmation dialog, show file and progress at the bottom of the browser window.

Chrome is a dangerously slick browser, I found it takes a determined effort to switch and eventually get comfortable with Firefox as your primary browser. But we should support Firefox and give efforts and user feedback where we can to get it to the same competitve level.
