USSR dissolved because of atrocious economy. It was hard for people to have their families fed, fixed prices and influx of money in the economy had led to a coupon system - basically a right to buy a certain quantity of sugar/dairy products/meat/etc. (I was born in the USSR and had lived through the agony of the regime)

Unless CCP somehow screws up the economy really BAD, driving everyone to the point of starvation, nothing will change.

And even then: looking at North Korea, people there were driven far beyond the point of starvation, and they still endure these hardships without any discontent against Kims.
That's not a reply to the GP and actually a very good idea.

If you can't recognize something as a fact, it doesn't mean it isn't. I don't care about downvotes on such topics though, I didn't even know I was downvoted until someone pointed it out.
Realistically, the way we do it is we have a team of supervisors who have been around long enough and have seen everything that - as a group - we are the institutional knowledge. We are pretty effective at communicating with each other to bring the institutional knowledge to bear on a problem - we could be better at training our subordinates so that they have access to this institutional knowledge, but the truth is that the training is expensive and not usually well received.

Generally, I don't think efforts to accumulate institutional knowledge on a website work bear fruit - no one really wants to update the website, both because it's thankless, but also because of access time. It is much faster to tap the institutional knowledge in management by sending an email than by paging through the results of a search. For written institutional knowledge to have real value, the access time has to be small, which means someone has taken real care in curating the knowledge so it's easily accessed.
Finally, we have the Brian problem. Brian was the person most likely to update our internal websites - unfortunately Brian wasn't very good and had some poor ideas regarding lessons learned - by adding them to the websites, his bad ideas were passed on to younger team members who didn't know better.
I have no idea what you're trying to say. There isn't some criteria you have to meet in order to be a "global leader" beyond just doing things.

Chine is a global leader in a whole lot of things.

You're going to have a lot of trouble finding any country that doesn't do shitty things. Turns out that's a people problem, not a governmental one.

In Italy there's also the problem that most banks don't allow you to receive wire transfers from outside the SEPA area. I had a hard time finding a bank that would allow me to receive transfers from the US. Some of them were actually baffled when I called for information at the idea of someone wanting to receive money from oversea.

And let's not even get into keeping an account in another currency. My bank apparently never had to do anything of the sorts, and after digging for information they told me it would cost about 400€ per year just keep the account open.
I don't think your response is fair. Rather, I think you are focused on the feeling of offense and resentment for what you see as a condescending attitude from the parent commenter. But, if as you say, you came from poverty and broke away, surely you can look at the situation objectively and acknowledge that escapism often leads to negative feedback loops in and of itself, and that their commentary on culture is accurate for a significant minority if not a majority of those in poverty.

It's easy to interpret an emotional context in the parent's comment that may not be present. It could absolutely be read as a condescending comment which looks down upon poor people as less than. However, a charitable reading which takes a step back should be able to acknowledge the uncomfortable truth in their statements.

Nobody is saying that the circumstances of poverty are not absolutely soul crushing, it's rather a statement on how people react to those circumstances lead them farther down a dark path rather than into the light, and as poverty becomes generational it forms its own culture. There is absolutely a culture of poverty (technically multiple cultures of poverty) in the US, at the very least.
Good point. I hadn't considered that. What a terrifying way to live - serving your government knowing that at any point you may be thrown under the bus for following orders.
That they develop new products that show off the capability of their new products? It would seem odd to me if they did not.
Perhaps, but at the same time I have never met such self-hating people as urban Americans post-2016.

The exceptionalism might be the degree of freedom it allows in thoughts about their own Americanism, and the seeming ability to believe both ends of the spectrum at the same time.

The Guide to Using Twitter for Business in 2020
Twitter is an undeniably powerful platform to increase your business's online reach. The average Twitter user follows FIVE Businesses and 80% of all Twitter users have mentioned a brand in a Tweet.
If you have your Inbound Marketing hat on, you should know that Twitter is not just a place to grow customers through word-of-mouth marketing - it's also a place to meet your customers where they are.

However, succeed as a business on Twitter in 2019, it's critical you're able to stand out. But that can mean many different things for the millions of businesses across every industry on Twitter.
So what steps can you take to add to your audience's experience online, instead of simply being a disruption? How can you promote your product or service in a way that encourages people to purchase? How can you make your brand more human on a platform made for connection?

1) Engage with your audience.
It's critical you regularly engage with your audience on Twitter by tagging them in posts, responding to their comments, or even hosting fun giveaways to get your audience involved.

2) You can use Twitter to increase sales.
If you're the type to say no to free marketing, maybe the offer of increased sales will keep you around. Twitter isn't just a platform that allows you to get your brand out into the world -- it's also a place where customers come to you. 60% of brands followers are more likely to purchase or recommend products after following the brand on Twitter.

3) Use a tool
When using Twitter for business, logging into the platform every time you post can get annoying, and is frankly a waste of time. There are plenty of tools that allow you to schedule your posts ahead of time, so you don’t have to click "Tweet" 30 times per week. There are also tools out there that allow you to filter your following allowing you to target a specific region, this can be great for A/B testing

Also, check out the Twitter Tool I'm building http://pluto.landen.co/

Thank you
Pretty sure you misinterpreted that comment. It's not suggesting that they pressured the devs to stop work, it says they were pressured to stop making it so awesome. The inference being that they were pressured to weaken the product and they walked away instead.

It's just 'license plates for people'. And driving without a license plate is already illegal in many places. It would be a small step to require citizens to wear their nameber clearly visible at all times when outside. The penalty for failure would be a bit harsh. But on the plus side, all the corpses would be unidentified, so technically no-bodies...

Off the topic, but I feel somehow because HKer only wanted to keep the bad things out of HK, that made the mainland Chinese less sympathetic toward them.

I couldn't contain my laugh reading that, sending money using the N26 app is a 12 steps process (no exaggeration) since the app update and the "AI" behind the categorization of spendings is an amazing garbage, e.g. I have a once a month recurring payment of the same amount from my landlord, I have categorized it a dozen of times manually but it still gets registered as... grocery shopping.

Colin Kaepernick was blackballed from the NFL for kneeling during the Pledge of Allegiance. Look at what happened to the Dixie Chicks:

> On March 10, 2003, during a London concert, nine days before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, lead vocalist Maines told the audience: "We don't want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the President of the United States (George W. Bush) is from Texas," which garnered a positive reaction from the British audience but led to a contrasting negative reaction, and ensuing boycotts, in the United States, where talk shows denounced the band, their albums were discarded in public protest and corporate broadcasting networks blacklisted them for the remainder of the Bush years.

"If they go bankrupt, you will lose all your money " is not entirely true, according to Monese's FAQ:

https://support.monese.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115002002229-Is...

"Unlike banks we do not re-invest customer funds and have to keep all customer money separate to our own company finances. We are required by Regulation to Safeguard all funds received from Monese customers. This guarantees that even in the unlikely event that Monese is no longer in business, all of our customers would receive 100% of their balance back"
FreeBSD does! You can rescue yourself from this with mtree. Something like:

> cd /

> mtree -U -f /etc/mtree/BSD.root.dist

> mtree -U -f /etc/mtree/BSD.var.dist

> mtree -U -f /etc/mtree/BSD.include.dist

> mtree -U -f /etc/mtree/BSD.sendmail.dist

> mtree -U -f /etc/mtree/BSD.usr.dist
You would hope that the software would be resilient enough that missing or even faulty labels would not be the cause of problems.

It is by the way relatively easy to - once you reach some arbitrary threshold of precision - to detect such missing or wrong labels automatically, a simple suggestion UI with an accept / reject button could take care of supplying the bulk of the missing labels and correcting the bulk of the errors.
Howard Hughes Sr's tricone rock bit truly revolutionized the world, and made the oil and gas industry possible.

how we can have Firefox thrive and grow

Not that anyone is asking me, but I think the mobile browser is a limiter. No matter how much I like a given desktop browser, I like bookmark & password syncing more. Unfortunately for me I find the Firefox desktop browser is first class, but the mobile browser is not. As a result it's almost immediately ruled out.

I've never seen anyone else mention this so I might be a tiny minority.

Not Germany, but one that in many other ways is very efficient and forward thinking. I think the banking issues are more historical and due to having a small population with generally conservative attitudes towards money and financial institutions. But my point is that N26's offering is just not going to cut it across the whole EU(+UK), and any risk introduced by Brexit (or anything else that might happen) probably wasn't worth it for them, but claiming that they were pushed out by it is pushing it a bit.

As a side, in sites such as this (HN), especially when comparing things to the US there is defintitely a tendancy to make sweeping statements such as 'in the EU $thing is [blah]...' but actually there are huge differences across the continent, which I think is actually the news story here.

Hi, thank you!

Great question, I don't think I realized how many website builders there are before I started working on Airsite :D Just on Product Hunt: there is another one launching today, and one yesterday.

I think the main differentiator now is that it's mobile-first, there are not that many of those and even fewer good ones.

The problem with the mobile focus is that building a website is kind of too complex of a task for mobile. Not having a mouse/keyboard and having all your controls on the same small mobile screen makes everything so much harder.

So, to summarize, I'm differentiating by focusing on mobile, but there are some trade-offs in that focus that make it harder to build a good product. I hope not impossible. I guess we'll see :)
You don't need to look very far in the US to see similar abuses and well, a complete failure of oversight.

To take a prime example, short functions are almost always better than long functions.

This is a popular claim in some circles, but I don't think it stands up to scrutiny.

As others have observed, while you may gain locally through having simpler individual functions, you may also lose globally because you now need to manage the complexity of how all those functions relate.

There seems to be very little evidence to support the argument that shorter functions are objectively better, and if anything the evidence we do have suggests that extremely short functions are objectively worse in terms of things like defect density.

I would rather argue that functions should do one thing well. This will tend to correlate with shorter functions rather than 100+ line behemoths, but the important thing is that a function represent a single, coherent idea. Maybe that idea can be expressed as some neat one-liner in a functional programming language. Maybe it's some 200+ line ordered sequence of conditions that systematically determines how to shift between states in a state machine that is modelling a fundamentally complicated situation.

I agree there is a need to sell the need, and this page doesn't do a good job of doing that because while a looping animation is good for showing the animation, as you say, it isn't a good idea.

I can see animations like these working for when a user interacts with something, as an alternative to just highlighting or doing a material style ripple. The problem is that most of the time I'd want that, I'd also want to transition between two states, which—unless I'm missing it—isn't something this offers.
