> I don't think collaboration means that you can't compete with each other?

I just don't think there's much room for competition when one party gently keeps another in a chokehold. Klarna depends on Visa, but not vice versa.

In Sweden they issue regular credit cards (my friend has one). Also, AFAIK, in Nordics they offer virtual card payments to merchants who don't integrate with them directly.

"Safe Ruthenium rain falls over Bashkortostan", "27 police officers injured in a largely peaceful anti-racist protest"... -- how could I forget about these exceptional examples of very complicated news reporting job well done.

Klarna is a bank that is connected to the Visa network. So, inherently, it is bound by the same rules as any other bank. So, in the context of this thread, they are not a competitor to Visa/MasterCard.

Not if you have a competent devops team and a deployment pipeline.

I think Erlang's mnesia was the earliest implementation of STM.

You missed my point. Sure, blogs are written by "some guy on the internet", and anyone should be skeptical about anything they write. But journalists are also "some guys on the internet"! They should be kept in the same security ring. There's no difference in competence or accountability between a rando and an entitled journalist.

> Personally I think it's an improvement on mobile

...because usage of Github from mobile is so important /s

Looks absolutely horrible. I use a laptop as my main dev machine, and all these 16px and 30px paddings that they added everywhere create real tunnel vision experience. I guess people with huge displays don't mind... But I absolutely do.

Looks like another case when a frontend team does something to justify their existence.

But let's look at the positives: the last redesign of that sort helped me to completely migrate away from gmail.

I don't understand why traditional media still exists in modern days, when p2p communication between people is possible. In the best case, a journalist is a middleman who will misunderstand and garble information unintentionally, since they are working under deadline to get stuff published ASAP. Not only experts, but even enthusiasts spend much more time researching than journalists. In the worst and most common case, they just push agenda or slander groups of people to attract hate clicks. I cringe every time when mainstream media article ends up on HN.

If at this point you still use Google products, while equal or better alternatives exist, you get what you deserve.
