Edge's browser engine is fine; people don't use it because it's not the defualt and Microsoft won't deprecate IE or just make it a not-so-prominent app. They can't keep IE alive forever yet businesses are not dropping it. They have to kill it at some point.

The problem with Edge is it's missing features other browsers have had for years, including IE. Microsoft just needs to add those features, not reinvent their browser again.
Google is spending so much money on Flutter , it’s insulting.

Honestly, the entire industry is shifting towards JavaScript/Typescript and the only language that they could think of for Flutter is Dart ?

This is even more Hypocrite knowing that Flutter doesn’t actually run the Dart VM, it uses AOT and compile to native code.

Meaning we could use literally any ECMAScript language to run with Flutter instead of Dart.

There is nothing that Dart does that justify the choice of this language.

A more realistic approach for a cross-platform WPF might be to start with Mono's Moonlight (as Silverlight and WPF have a lot in common) - this could now be speed up by using parts of WPF.

However in 10 years no one has cared enough to start a project to do this, so I'm not too optimistic.
Congrats on the big milestone.

I’ve been extremely happy working with HashiCorp tools for the past several years.

Vault provides sooooo much out of the box, it’s hard for me to imagine spinning up a new project without it anymore. Which leads to my biggest fear...my jaded-self is expecting an ‘unfriendly’ acquisition (Microsoft, Alphabet) and/or some onerous licensing/pricing changes.

If you consider APIs that power its businesses, Google's support history is a lot better. Dart and Closure were never popular outside Google, but they're still invested in because they are used internally.

Android and Chrome are both heavily invested in by Google, with massive external ecosystems too. Speaking in a personal capacity with no insider knowledge, I'd be shocked if Google stopped supporting either.

The UI for Fuchsia is written in Flutter, so it's got a pretty big internal customer too: https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/topaz/+/HEAD/shell/

You're asking for proof of a negative.

DuckDuckGo just put out a post criticizing Google for personalizing search results. They're a small company without many resources, and privacy has been their primary selling point from the get-go. Yes, DuckDuckGo could also be personalizing their own results, but if they were and people found out, there's risk of a significant outcry. Until I see evidence to the contrary, I'm inclined to assume good faith.

See also: discussions around "but how do we know for sure that Apple has better data privacy than Google?"
Well, I'm not in the premium bra market at all so I couldn't tell. I'm still buying one every few month and enduring the metal wires stabbing me in the chest.

That being said, a quick googling gives all kind of pries.

https://secretsfromyoursister.com/ <- $80-$200

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1976927179/anesi-bra-th... <- 80$ but kickstarter

https://foreveryourslingerie.ca/product/?cName=BRAS&pName=Pr... <- 144$

https://foreveryourslingerie.ca/product/?cName=BRAS&pName=Em... <- 209$

In my eyes, the pricing is similar to comparing a regular hair dryer ($17) to the Dyson Supersonic hairdryer ($399).

Or perhaps a cheap pair of boots ($49) that lasts one winter to an expensive pair ($250+) that lasts a few years.
Also a true story

I just entered a new mall and discovered that they monitors how many people come in and out (and at what time) in order to ensure they have enough cashier.

- you = me
- software = mall
- monitoring basic metrics in order to improve the service = counting people in/out

This is completely OK, and somehow everybody likes that they increase the number of cashier during busy time. Just like the mall, you do not own the software, you juste have the right to enter/use it.

In case where the missing "noun" can lead to confusion it makes sense but are there multiple Saudi "noun" options ?
Junk food will make you full too, but over time make you sick. I fear you're substituting real human connection with cheap alternatives. Cooking healthy food can be annoying and it often makes a mess, but is necessary in the long run.

Dismissing real life people as "not amazing at being real" is ironic to me because people have been the way they are since maybe even before the dawn of homo sapiens. That's just what real is. Not everyone is this charismatic, funny, inspiring character. You still welcome them into your life just as they welcome you into their lives.

You are confusing game scoring with some concept of "x times ability". In many games, someone who is only 10% better than opponents can win close to 100% of the games.

That should maybe be rephrased as: "There's basically no large metropolitan areas withing a 2 hour radius of Nashville". There's a number of forests and state parks to explore around Nashville.

That's probably fair. Quandl started by offering the "everyday" investor API access. I know the typical VC approach is to first get users and then scale, but often in investing/financial data products, it seems better to price high and then move down market. If you study the companies with the most success in the past (Bloomberg, CapIQ, MSCI, Eze, Advent, Factset, Morningstar, etc.), none of them started by trying to cater to the DIY investor.

Of course not - except in this case it’s multiple subsidiaries (Brazil, Malaysia, ...) which points to a systemic belief that faking a major feature is acceptable.

That will always be Flutter's weakness.

You also don't get to use the wealth of libraries that target native development.

Cross platform always has trade-offs.
From my point of view it looks a big internal politics war.

Whoever wins, we loose.
> So the OEMs would Instead install a Linux bootstrap system that gets online and then downloads+installs Windows on behalf of the user.

I doubt it. That kind of first-time user experience would probably do more $ worth of damage to the company's reputation and sales than what OEM licensing costs.

Linux vendors may be able to do it just fine, but Linux PC vendors cater to a very different target market from Windows PC vendors.
> Flutter doesn’t actually run the Dart VM, it uses AOT and compile to native code.

That's the whole point - you can't compile JS to fast native code. It also does use the DartVM for hot-reloading development cycles.
Flutter looks cool. Dart needs more of an ecosystem though. I was trying to play with flutter last week, gave up when I discovered there is no standard lib FFT implementation in Dart.
Absolutely irrelevant to what I said.

This is what the parent comment said:

> Why are gun laws an issue to anyone that doesn't routinely find themselves getting in fights or entering other people's homes uninvited?

It's absolutely absurd to assert that only those breaking into houses or getting into fights are only ones getting gunned down.

Every innocent victim of gun violence, both directly affected and friends/family of those involved, have a right to be concerned.

You'd be surprised, very very surprised, when asking someone to take a "good photo" they return with utter crap. One of the "thought crimes" in our society is people thinking they can take a good photo - most can't, even if their life depended upon it. It is actually shocking, because most people, seeing professional photography all the time, just assume they can shoot professional quality - until they try.
For finance in particular, I'd say we're drowning in a massive volume of shitty data.

A client of mine purchases several fundamental feeds from Quandl, and I email them regularly to point out errors. Not weird, hard, tricky errors, but stuff like "why are all these volumes missing" or "there's a 1-day closing price increase of 1200%" or "you divided when you should have multiplied". This tells me neither Quandl nor the original provider (e.g. Zacks) do any serious data validation, despite claiming to.

If the companies people have been paying for decades for this data get it wrong this often, how can I trust any weirder data they're trying to sell me? I thought the point of buying these feeds was to let the seller worry about quality assurance.
Is the subscribe link at the bottom of that page specifically for this type of stuff? There is nothing visually connecting that to the article and it only uses the vague phrase "updates from Y Combinator". I am one of those HN users who comes here for the tech topics much more than the startup topics. I therefore don't have much interest in Y Combinator outside of being thankful that they host this site. I don't really want every blog entry they post to be emailed to me but I will happily sign up if it is more this type of content.
So hire interns with a photography background? If they can build a rechargeable device which is capable of taking high-resolution photos without outside assistance they are more than capable, as a business, of figuring out the challenge of hiring the right people to support their engineering efforts.

Edit: Or better yet, hire a professional photographer when you want to showcase the output of your high-end digital cameras.

I visited India in 2017 and while I didn't get to drive, I spent a lot of time in cars/tuk-tuks/busses and got a keen sense of the driving conditions.

I actually quite liked them! (I know, this sounds crazy).

It's absolute and utter chaos, but the thing is -- people pay attention. Drivers are not dazed off listening to a podcast or fixing their makeup or texting. They're keenly aware of the space around their vehicle and they react quickly to (the constantly changing) road conditions -- it's a matter of Darwinian survival.

I actually found driving back in the US more frustrating once I returned. There's just so much ... indignance. If a car needs to cut across 2 lanes (which happens!) - other drivers in the US flip out: they lean on the horn, they shake their fists, they rage. "How dare that driver do something I didn't expect!"

I think we'd all be better served if we were forced to be more active and aware while behind the wheel.

Flutters Hot Reloading has spoiled me forever.

I am a C++/mobile dev and I couldn't get myself amped about React Native because you have to do all the layouts through style-sheets. I am not a web dev, so style-sheets are pretty foreign to me beyond the basics. With flutter I can do all the same stuff but with auto-complete and in a hierarchy I understand.

I do wish the controls were native, but the customization you get instead is pretty powerful.

Building Strong Companies: The “No Politics Rule”
CREDIT REPAIR
My name is Marta Syoh, I have lost money and my FICO Credit Scores went from 690 to 420 in 2 months because of 2 fake hackers I paid to take care of my Credit as both promised me 780+ Scores in a week time. I spent money upfront ($400 each time) and nothing but headaches and bad Credit was the result. I saw a comment below 2 weeks ago in YouTube about a well-spoken hacker named Dprotocol (may God bless him) help a woman named Caroline fix her Credit Report in a relatively short time (7 business days). I became curious and wondered if he could help me fix my poor Credit and eliminate bad debts. Well with my fingers crossed, I gave him a chance to prove the good in men. While conversing or negotiating with him, I noticed he is very educated and had about 3 degrees in hacking in the States which made me develop confidence in him. Eventually he fixed my Credit and gave me a reason to smile and be happy again. He removed the bad records on my report and raised my score to 791, here is his email address; DPROTOCOL7@GMAIL.COM and direct number; +1 320 245 4036. You can trust him with your credit report, he is a credit specialist.
BBEdit is turning 25
I linked pricings on the ranges, including the premium segment outside the boutique range. The super-special $350 bra is firmly in the boutique range which requires not just a fitting but a customer service of Saks, Barneys, La Perla boutiques or totally custom shops.

This, at most, is a Telsa 3, priced pretending that it plays in a Ferrari leagues. Musk may say so and so may Tesla fan boys, but even Musk is not pricing Tesla 3 at at $150K. If it is priced at $80, it would work for long enough for them to outsource manufacturing to China, India and Vietnam, which means that the $10 knock offs would be everywhere in 5 months [VS knock offs are in every Chinatown/Koreatown of every US city sold for 1/10th of VS prices. Half of them are probably made at the same factories that make VS originals].

VS certainly does 3 for a hundred if not more during the semi annual sales. The winter one is about to start now.
Sounds interesting but I don't think so. My reasoning stems from the fact that App stores are pretty much the only way to download and purchase software on iPhones. Meanwhile console games can be bought in the digital marketplace and Physical with physical being much more open option. This pretty much breaks any monopoly that sony could hope to have. Theoretically, if the next generation of consoles aims to follow suite with PCs and do away with Physical copies then we could see a stronger case.

Looking for constructive feedback :)
The states, which have a central bank, a taxing buro and a government-owned lottery together, do have the necessary instruments to distribute UBI with a suitable demand control mechanism, with just a re-legistlation and re-organisation. US lacks the last one, hence lacks the instrument to do the demand control without debt control nand excessive taxing.

It seems like this OS has an interesting concept of beginner / intermediate / advanced user levels. That's not really something that's in today's systems. Looking back on earlier systems from time to time is a good way to see what we used to have, but don't anymore, and question if it's useful. Especially looking at alternates from the past that may have been overlooked in the past.

The allure of using an old operating system as the basis for new work is that it would at least seem to be much simpler than a modern operating system; and it's a good thing to avoid unnecessary complexity. Of course, it may turn out that in order to work on a modern computer, you need most of the complexity.

Something that's reported to work well on a 386 should be likely to feel responsive and fluid on any modern computer.
That isn't much help. The short flight from the local airport to the big hub will end up costing you more than the main flight from the hub to wherever you're going. Those short flights to regional airports cost a relative fortune.

There is something really weird/off about this rumor. It doesn't make sense for Microsoft to drop EdgeHTML. EdgeHTML is doing really well.

The big thing that jumps out here is the repeated use of the term Chromium rather than Blink. That might just be a non-technical writer here, but what if it is not?

EdgeHTML has been working for years to be open source, and maybe even cross-platform. Could this project actually be the completion of that effort? Maybe they are using Chromium to host EdgeHTML (and ChakraCore) instead of Blink/V8? Edge for macOS and Linux, maybe?

I think the success of Facebook and Google (being ad businesses) had a lot to do with this, i.e. "you are the product." If the trend to subscription businesses continues, do you think investors will approach how a company should scale differently?
