Dear Craig,

Thanks for for making me smile like crazy.

Bye

Developer

Looking at the CEO's Twitter feed, he's clearly obsessed with customer satisfaction and employees' growth.

He is also very transparent about his strategy https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1340678358456274948
stunt··on The Process Is Not the Product. The New Agile Anti-Manifesto
Agile works but where companies fail miserably is the implementation. Especially many of those that go with Scrum (or its flavors). They treat Scrum Master as a person instead of a role within the team. So they assign a non-engineer to an engineering team permanently that has some influence on the way of working without ever guiding the team to be self managed agile team.
stunt··on Ask HN: Can I trust brokers with my stocks?
It's a common practice for big brokers to have a custody option where your securities are held separately (as far as you are concerned), but usually it comes with more fees. If you don't want to take the risk of brokerage lending, then you have to enable custody and agree to have some extra fees.

Whether the benefits will outweight or not depends on your investment habits and which brokerage you use.

stunt··on Show HN: Split Keyboards Gallery
Those that aren't curved/concave miss a major comfort factor in my opinion.

My personal must-haves for a split keyboard:

- Concave/curved design.

- Thumb clusters.

- Vertical arranged key columns.

- Palm support.

- Fully customizable layout.

- Mechanical switches or anything similar with proper feedback for better typing, and also decent travel distance so it doesn't feel that you're knocking your fingertips on hard plastic all the time.

stunt··on Coinbase valued above $100B, ahead of direct listing
Everybody is selling EVs now. I wonder what happens to TSLA in Q4 2022 when car manufacturers publish their numbers. Enjoy it while it lasts indeed but I'm worried if that will have a cascading effect into other stocks or even also crypto.
stunt··on Nyan Cat on the Blockchain
Do you have his Twitter handle? Our of curiosity I like to see I can find a way to confirm that Twitter account is legit or not in the first place.
stunt··on Dropbox Passwords
Thanks, but no thanks.

Who can validate that?

stunt··on Chrome OS became the second-most popular OS
Also don't forget that many people had to buy cheap laptops on 2020 for kids and their online classes.
stunt··on Autopilot on Cars for $999
They are selling this product as a dashcam for obvious reasons. The autopilot feature is an experimental feature that you have to enable yourself on your own risk.
stunt··on Autopilot on Cars for $999
This is a link to the homepage. Is there a new announcement?

What is new about this? AFAIK Comma.ai has this since at least 2-3 years ago!

stunt··on Tesla buys $1.5B in Bitcoin, may accept it as payment in the future
Tesla needs it. Next few years are going to be rough for the Tesla with all big auto makers selling EVs.
stunt··on Tesla Invests $1.5B in Bitcoin, Plans to Accept Cryptocurrency
He has recently mentioned that he is changing his mind about cryptocurrency. So this is not a news.

I personally think there is an overestimated perception about how Elon Musk doesn't like money, and that he is all in for the environment. He has been very successful to build that brand for himself, but it's exaggerated that he's very different from other billionaires. I'm not saying he or other billionaires are bad, but I also don't buy the idea of Musk being different than everyone else. Most of the people even don't know that he wasn't a co-founder of Tesla. He is certainly opportunistic and big risk taker like many other billionaires. But, he is capitalizing on his brand as someone that is radically different from others and is all in for the environment.

stunt··on Dogecoin goes up over 40% after Elon Musk tweet about it
I found a better article with link to other Elon Musk's tweets about Dogecoin.

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/dogecoin-goes-up-over-40-a...

He raised the value by few tweets and that isn't news. We have seen it with TSLA value, but it's funny how he has this influence on other markets too.

stunt··on Help users in Iran reconnect to Signal
So their government is blocking Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Telegram, Signal, BBC, CNN, Netflix, and probably many other social and media platforms.

Meanwhile we are blocking Iranians to access Docker, Slack, Gitlab, Google Code, Github(Github until recently), Paypal, Apple Store, Play Store, AWS, Coursera, Adobe, Nvidia, AVG, Avast, Symantec, McAfee, Matlab!!, Oracle and many more.

It should be really fun to use Internet in Iran.

stunt··on Del.icio.us
The founder had great ideas. Too bad they merged into YahoO.
stunt··on Go generics proposal moves to “likely accept”
I think much of the enthusiasm for Go comes from the fact that as a *compiled language*, it's easy to use and learn, and has a modern standard library. What attracts most of the developers is that they can deploy a binary with reasonable performance. That's why you see many PHP and Ruby developers loving it. I don't think an interpreted language with Go's design choices would be as popular. Therefore, I don't think adding Generics is going to harm.
stunt··on Ask HN: What is the oldest image online in which the link is not broken?
I always try to put some context behind questions like this. I would mention why I'm interested to know or why I need that.
stunt··on Show HN: Pairagraph – our attempt to build a new high-quality discussion forum
Great that you are exploring new concepts.

I think you could highlight categories better on the homepage.

Don't add user votes to the dialogues. We know what happens to politics category after you do that.

But, add some user interactions like following a dialogue to receive updates about it. And also following a contributor to receive update about his/her dialogues.

stunt··on Robinhood plummets back down to a one-star rating on Google Play
I don't think it was a spam protection bot since they removed a large batch all at once. But, they obviously know there is no point to remove another batch because it will backfire.
stunt··on What's New in PHP 8.1
As long as you got a strong package manager and good ecosystem around it everything is ok. Many languages don't have built-in package manager.
stunt··on Telegram: Moving Chat History from Other Apps
Well that all depends on how much your friend respects your privacy and sadly many of them don't do.

And by the way, that scenario is possible with any data that your friends have from you on any platform. They can technically copy your data from any source to other platforms.

If you share it, it isn't private anymore.

stunt··on Telegram: Moving Chat History from Other Apps
Also when you know the app is not going to remove them, it's more likely to leave non-critical but still value able data in there. (someone's address, photos, a link that was shared with you etc)
stunt··on Gitlab removes its 'starter' tier Users must either pay 5x more or lose features
I wonder if Microsoft is going to embed Github into one of their 365 packages. They can offer Office + Teams + Github as one package and it will be impossible for Gitlab to compete for enterprise customers on their managed plans.
stunt··on Gitlab removes its 'starter' tier Users must either pay 5x more or lose features
Not really. It was at the beginning when they both only had core features for version control. But, if you compare them today and the last few years, Github is adding features that Gitlab had for a while. Mostly on CI/CD, Security, and Project Management.
stunt··on Gitlab removes its 'starter' tier Users must either pay 5x more or lose features
I've used both and I think Github lags behind on CI/CD & Project Management features comparing to Gitlab even today.
stunt··on Tesla Q4 2020 Earnings
It's not Tesla's quarterly earnings report that drives TSLA, It's Elon's tweets. They should publish quarterly metrics of his Twitter account.
stunt··on Facebook is bombarding rightwing users with combat gear ads. See for yourself
They are spending more money on ads because it's a good time to sell more. People are exposed to enough fear, unrest, and conspiracy theories that many of them only need to see a few ads to make an emotional purchase decision.
