Two simple patterns (and there is nothing wrong with either one):

- People who say crypto is a bubble missed to invest

- People who hype crypto are invested

However, the key is still to have a balanced portfolio and not just with crypto.

Somehow this feels like apples vs oranges.

No it's not. While it's definitely a nice piece of tech all the smartphone addicts who heavily use Whatsapp, Instagram, an email client, etc want a device with a large screen, virtual keyboard and a camera. Don't tell us that AI and voice commands will replace this.

The Apple watch will dominate all health and fitness based use cases though.

I am no fan of open-plan office or just going to an office but there is a huge difference between a cramped open-plan office and one where you have so much space around your and your peer's desk that you need a hoverboard to get to the next couple of coworkers. Also carpets, semi-wall, calling booths can make a difference.

So what I want to say is that every open-plan offices is different and yes, most are terrible. But I guess that if somebody made them right it must be Apple?!

Expected a figure after inflation adjustment and not a calculation of the parts' cost at that time. Still interesting.

> I wish every browser would stop sound and video by default

Sound yes but why video?

> It's a popular request; about as popular as everyone who wants Ctrl+T to open in the default container. :)

Do you have any proof like a larger survey? I highly doubt that's a 50:50 request.

Why should one want to open a new tab in the default container with Ctrl-t? Ctrl-t is used and learned as a shortcut to open something (like a tab) in the current context. The current context would be not just your current browser window but also your current container. Ctrl-n would go more in your direction.

Would be great if we had sensible defaults without the need to get exensions.

Besides, do I need to get a Firefox account for this feature?

This is my most wanted feature for a browser. Anyone knows if every instance has not just a different cookies set but also different canvas fingerprints?

Very good interview. It shows that this feature is well thought-out and security-wise better than expected.

> Wes “Wuz Good” Armstrong has almost 700,000 followers on Instagram, enough to get paid six figures a year to promote

Can anyone with insights into Instagram marketing confirm? Do 700k followers make you min. 100k a year?

If he presents code then a HTML/CSS/JS system should be prefered aince syntax highlighting is easier. Something you can't get automatically done with the alternatives you mentioned.

A good thought. Just think you get robbed. The robbers can get the phone easily unlocked withoout even asking you.

After reading this article over and over I am still clueless.

What is this all about? Feature-wise it doesn't sound better than a comment system from HN, Reddit or StackExchange.

Besides, Mozilla is really lacking communicational skills. This blog post feels like the documentation at MDN, tedious and unclear.

I like how people come up with new uses cases for headless Chrome.

But for his use case ('presentation') there are tons of presentation libs/franeworks in HTML/JS/CSS which support code embeddings with syntax highlighting.

Same quality but much easier workflow since code stays editable.

'Broken screwdriver?'

Don't get OP's analogy. Does he mean CSS?

While CSS can sometimes be nerve-racking it's the most modern layouting system. There was a reason that the React Native team chose CSS' Flexbox for their layouting system.

Well accepted != next big thing

Slighlty OT: Did run many chatsbots in various fields. Chatbots won't be the next big thing, not at all. Chats are a specific channel for more specific use cases, none of them created any killer app.

Maybe we need more time but chatbots got hyped for too long without any significant traction. Most are web shops/ agencies that build mediocre chatbots for brands nobody is using.

Not bashing chatbots just wondering why this topic gets upvoted again and again.

> What does "and then nothing" mean

SoundCloud? Just look at the recent downround.

The 'incredible auccess' is decades ago. USV had its best times.

Since SoundCloud I am extra cautious with USV investments. They invest, pump (pulling other investors into their great opportunity) and then nothing.

I rather prefer a list of ICOs with a high potential and long-term perspective.

That many ICOs are Ponzi or close to scam is nothing new.Such a list feels more like a personal justification for 'I don't need to invest, I won't miss anything and BTC and ETH were the last success stories in crypto'.

It depends, if this new field is something growing, something with a perspective (eg ML, crypto) then keep on. Your insecurity will be your biggest motivator pushing you to the limit. In one year you will be better than your peers.

If this field isn't trending (eg VBA, print) then just look for another job.

In other words: Can you boost your personal market value with this job in one year?

My brief interpretation of the data: The more opportunities to switch and to cheat the higher the divorce rate (eg bartender, stewardess, dancer). And the lower the salary the higher the divorce rate (guess the financial pressure creates extra tension).

> Everyone else will be hired in a trustless manner

How do yo hire people without even telling them your name?

As much as I like your boldness and ambition for a total anonymous company you forget one thing: Once you work with people (what you do, your team has five members you wrote) you will have conflicts and then you might be blackmailed by your own team.

However, you shouldn't care since you are operating in and for countries where your operation is legal. So, why all this anonymization buzz? There is a founder who does what do publicly as a female CEOs creating huge press awareness (of course not in the US).

OT but maybe the right place to ask: How can I as a marketplace avoid disintermediation where users try to deal directly with each other after a short while (eg Homejoy).

Yes I agree with the last example you brought, this was def complaining, I should work on that.

A few times though, I got good feedback and was also able to make my point more clear after I asked about the reasons for the downvotes.

Also, I prefer that people reply instead of downvote (except it's trolling) which is also a reason I address this. Look, I reply to you as well. Hope I didn't make you too angry and I try to improve.

> JSX was also a problem since we could not reuse HTML code

Who has source code in native HTML lying around?

My notebook with Arch is my favorite. The reason: I can run the system without any desktop environment. I use just i3 as my window manager. Can't do this neither with Windows nor macOS.

IDK, I over-engineer my side projects every single time. Like tweaking for days something which is so clearly premature optimization.

But sometimes I need that knowledge again for the next side project. And this over-engineering is often a way to simplify a reference architecture and be much faster at the end.

So for me over-engineering equals learning but is also a big part of the motivation.

Yes, if I get downvoted I like to understand why and ask, you call it complaining. I have no problem with that.
