this is the answer, Stremio is the easy-to-use solution that I setup for my parents and forgot about. the comments above with their complicated usenet setups reminds me of the famous hackers news comment when dropbox was released.

should you not have disclosed that you're a Hex employee in the blogpost?

everyone giving their opinion in this thread should disclose whether they've tried cocaine. proper fishscale cocaine, not stepped on washing up powder.

the problem is it's too damn good. way too addictive and harmful

all things aside, it'd be a great ego-boost if someone thought me good enough to impersonate on Upwork

surely they're talking about the opening only, where the best moves have been analyzed to death. once you're in the middle game and it's a position that's new, you play the best moves.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone responsible for verifying accounts in Indonesia took a bribe.

so Apple and Samsung get most of the profits, and Google has to pay a huge fine for doing the open source thing and letting 3rd parties build handsets. If Google just built their own handset, kept Android closed-source and charged €800 a phone, the EU would have no problem with that but we'd all be worse off.

> What is broken is installing a custom CA into the system store on a rooted phone and making it work with all apps (apks) and Chrome.

Surprised nobody's mentioned the Telegram Android app yet. Their ChatActivity.java is 27, 720 lines! https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DrKLO/Telegram/master/TMes...

Thing is, there's a great knowledge of the Android OS in there and the app works great when I use it. I think the OP blog post is correct 'Users don't care about the technologies or code.'

I always wonder why Google don't start charging for Gmail accounts for non-OECD countries or other countries where the ad rate means they make a loss.

> You'll rarely win in the court of public opinion and you'll probably never get hired anywhere again

I thoroughly disagree with both these points.

I'm kind of shocked, I know Gates was a ruthless businessman but I always had him pegged as squeaky clean in his private life.
