If you can't take the heat, etc. It's silly to say "think about whether you would say this to someone in person or not" -- that's the whole point, you're NOT saying it to someone in person, you can say what you want without the usual repercussions. It's ultimately a good thing, even if some people get hurt. And since when do you have a right not to be upset? But you do have a right to keep off the internet if you can't handle it, not to post pictures of yourself and your real name, not to base your life completely around the internet and social media. I keep it anonymous, like the old days of the internet. I have pretty bare social media profiles, mostly as a big rolodex. If I post something else, opinions, what have you, I do it anonymously. Why does everyone need everybody else to know exactly who and where they are and everything about themselves? Because they think they're special and that others care. And then they get trolled. And so it goes.

Ah yes, bringing people together by dividing them into two groups.

Have to agree with you -- jeez, it used to take me 2 hours to get home and it was just from one side of Phoenix to the other using freeways. Currently, I live in Barcelona, and it takes me about 45 minutes when you add up walking to the metro, taking the metro, etc.

Because obviously not everyone sees it the way you do?

So, we'll leave it up to you to decide then? When someone is uniquely toxic or not?

I don't wanna see this crap in my HN.

A back button would make no sense to me. There are situations in apps when you can't "go back" -- wait, do you mean some physical back button?! Otherwise, there's the "Return to..." feature, the fact that the back button in most iOS apps is always the top left button of the navigation bar, and there's always the left edge swipe. If you can't figure out how to go back in an app, then it's the app's fault, not the phone's. "I have to learn every single screen of every single app" -- come on, bro, that's a bit much.

As for the store, well, the App Store actually has standards and minimums for apps and reviews. I would think a google search for "best qrcode app ios" would yield better results than your strange method, but, hey, to each his own.

The author conflates biographies with autobiographies, makes strange claims about the purpose of biographies (to learn how to succeed?) and generally doesn't have much of interest or clarity to say on the topic. Why this is here completely baffles me.

I worship SO like the all-knowing deity it is, but I don't love it. It's a cruel god, like that of the Old Testament. I've never contributed to the site, though I've used it for years, and I never will -- simply because it's too arcane and silly and I don't wish to play the reputation game just to leave a simple comment or whatever. When a new god appears, I'll surrender completely.

Sorry, I don't agree and I think my analogy stands. Others can be the judge, but I guess we can agree to disagree and move on.

People don't want to wear glasses all the time -- but I don't think this is meant to be worn 24/7 like Google glass or something. To me, your comment is akin to, sure people want to play games but they don't want to hold a controller. And look at VR -- people are definitely willing to wear goggles/visors/whatever for limited periods of time.

I kind of like TorrentProject. The UI leaves something to be desired (make sure to use advanced searching) but...

That pun at the end.

Boy, there's one in every thread, huh?

I would rather be an actual wizard than an actual ninja or rockstar.

In job ads rockstar is definitely the most annoying/lame one.

But, yes, wizard is better.

Some people, for sure. In my experience, I usually see people checking it for 30 seconds or so but many times daily. Even if you're right, it still seems like a no-brainer that the average Pokemon GO player would spend more time playing than the average Facebook user is on Facebook.

You're right, I guess. I suppose I worded it poorly. I really just meant that if you're going to be a "web artist" you should probably be a bit more web savvy in general. Make your own site, learn about backing up, etc.

For me, the disgusting thing was when the large amounts of immigrants were coming in all together and they were complaining about being in Denmark or wherever. This guy, I mean, in this situation, I guess it's wiser for him to choose -- but the people in the first situation should have just been grateful, not complaining that they don't want to be here in X. The way they expressed it made them come off really poorly, in my opinion.

You might not want to, but maybe you should. Case in point.

Your personal idea of a high quality submission is not the yardstick by which submissions are measured. You get that, right?

But perhaps if your whole goal is to be a "web artist" or however you define what he was doing, you might take the time to learn how to make a simple site.

Seems obvious to me -- it's a game that takes time to play. Most people check Facebook for, like, 30 seconds at a time. It's like saying people spend more time playing Overwatch than checking their email? There's probably a better analogy. A bunch of interesting data in the article though.

I'd have a lot more questions about the people in your anecdote and the circumstances. I guess they were lucky to escape with their lives. Probably they are on a kill list somewhere and eventually the Secret Racist Police Club will deal with them.

Actually, I think you understand perfectly. You gave a great example of how the way you looked and where you were and when you were there raised suspicions in people who have to be suspicious as part of their job. Why wouldn't it?! The cops were at that hotel, for a reason, and you looked out of place there. To me, it's totally reasonable. And why would you feel unsafe after that? They are trying to find the bad guys and get them off the street. You were in a bad area at a bad hotel. If someone would have tried something, they'd have been there to help you.

I was reading a Medium article by a black tech guy who was complaining about "every day I get on the metro and I'm the last one anyone wants to sit by, I'm always worried about what I'm wearing, I feel uncomfortable" -- yeah, welcome to my world, I'm white and neurotic and often I'm the last one anyone sits by too. I wonder why, is it the beard? Do I look grumpy? I'm always thinking people are looking at me, judging me. That I look weird in my clothes or something. This is totally normal. Everyone experiences these kinds of things and thoughts. I've been stopped by police too. The difference is that many black people are raised believing the police are their enemy and want to hurt them and that white people are racist. It's like Christians reading in the bible that people will mock them for their beliefs and when they're mocked they see that as proof that Christianity is true. It's confirmation bias. The way it seems to me, a police officer can't even speak to a black person these days without people assuming he's racist. So black people can assume about police, but police can't assume about black people. When I think about all the times I've been pulled over, stopped, talked to, I just think, wow, if I was black I could totally just say it was racism. I wasn't driving poorly -- he's racist!

Of course you'll encounter racism in America, no matter what color you are. Hard to believe, a lot of people hate whites! To imagine that all the police get together like mustache-twirling villains to plot ways to ruin the afternoons of normal black people walking somewhere is just preposterous. And if black people do get stopped more, then you have to wonder if it's because the cops are just totally racist or because of their experiences in the line of duty. But let's not wonder that. It's probably racism. Otherwise it would require black people and black communities having to change -- and that would be horrible and racist to even suggest.

Totally agree. Once you get used to it, it's very well done and great UI.

You do a great disservice to all the (and there are so many) black people out there who got educated, got good jobs, built families, and realized that most people honestly don't care what color they are, when you say that you're treated so poorly everywhere in the country. I'm sorry but it's nonsense. We have a black president for god's sake.

You have expectations of police as a black man, why wouldn't they have expectations of every person they stop, based on color, shoes, accent, everything. That's part of their job. You're basically saying you're justified in having a preconceived notion of how police will treat you based on your color and theirs, yet they shouldn't? When it could save their lives? Maybe some black people (i.e. the black people who don't live in the neighborhoods where these shootings go down, but spend all their time writing posts about it on Medium), should try a different approach when they've done nothing wrong and are talking to an officer: be kind and respectful and helpful. Don't be defensive and argumentative and offended. Black people who have their shit together and got out of bad neighborhoods are not getting regularly killed by police. Come on.

I didn't do it at first, most probably did, but if you click through to the Top 200 themselves and select an app, you can see all the SDKs the app uses. Pretty cool.

Much love to AFNetworking and SDWebImage. Thanks for all the spare time you've given me.

Yeah, I think if people could go on a ride along with police in a troubled community at two in the morning they'd be singing an entirely different tune.

Right, all the gangbangers and thugs want is respect from the police! Thanks for the laugh. Honestly though, I'm sure the police try to be as respectful as they can be at first. But because of things like BLM, they don't have a chance, since a cop even stopping and talking to a black person now is considered horrible racism. And probably speaking politely and respectfully would be considered patronizing or something. However you want to spin it. Police aren't here to be your friend. They are here to keep you safe. As evidenced in Dallas, they will even protect those so vehemently against them. But I personally don't think they should be obligated to show respect for people who don't respect themselves or others, which unfortunately, is a rather large percentage of some of these unfortunate communities where you probably wouldn't last a day.

If officers feel threatened, if you're aggressive, if you reach for something in your pocket, disobey them -- it certainly can turn out that way. The overwhelming majority, it may surprise you, take no pleasure in having to fire on someone. They want to go home to their families after work. I grew up in Phoenix, AZ -- I cannot step foot in South Phoenix for fear of my life. That's the truth. Their job is not to make the life of unruly and unlawful people easier, no matter what race they may be. And saying you're black as proof of something is only proof of confirmation bias.
