I never bought into the apple ecosystem for the exact reason of not being able to feel ownership over my own device.

However i also understand the challenges google has. They/vendors are selling consumer devices with a consumer OS on it. Not everybody is tech savvy and a fair bit of people are too easy to trick into installing things.

An alternative could be to offer two versions(perhaps on phone activation). A business like version where a business(and people on HN) get full access. MDM and all. And average Joe mamas version that comes with more guard rails activated.

I can personally live with that 24 hour wait once, if it helps protect the average people from scammers etc.

Ouch! It looks very sweet i must say. Having worked on a similar idea for a while as a side project, it does hurt to see something better coming out.

I hope we can one day compete. :)

Now i haven't dug deep into hotwired. But isn't this how we used to do it before (insert your favourite javascript SPA framework here) was a thing?

Now it's certainly not a bad thing to reflect on whether it's the right solution to throw react, etc. after every problem you have. :)

"Now might be a good time to change your password to something longer, or finally get onboard with 2FA."

If it becomes trivial to crack the passwords, then we're really left one factor. Unless we replace the password factor with something else.

Sqrl perhaps?

I can't figure out what i think about it. Most of those are of no use to me anyways as a European citizen.

However were i interested in US local news i'd be sad not to be able to access them.

From the websites point of view, i guess there's not enough money to be made from people located in the European union. They are certainly not targeting a global audience. In the end, they are free to choose.

Your point is valid that giving your html tags id's are like defining global objects.

In fact some browsers give you warnings if you have two tags with the same id defined.

However this is by no means a new 'feature'. Maybe it's time to take a brush up on the DOM model.

Oh. And yes. The web technologies are a whole pile of worms in itself. Just think of the hacks that Javascript frameworks go through in order to render things just somewhat fast.

While it sounds cool i'm a bit dismayed by the naming choice as ACI in my head is short for the Application Container Image format as used by CoreOS and appc.

Why is that a dick move? What would you do if npm or github goes down tomorrow?

Vendor your dependencies if you want to make sure your own project doesn't break.

I must admit that i was also expecting an article about Midori the web browser, only to get disappointed when opening the article.

Luckily nothing stops me from closing the article again and move on :)

I suggest that instead of compiling it into the binary, that you use environment variables instead. Or make it command line flags.

Then you can have a bash script that you don't check in that executes the variable with environment variables/ flags.

You really need competition on your networks. In Denmark the carriers are forced to rent out their networks to competitors so that we don't get a monopoly.

Currently i pay ~37$ for unlimited speech, unlimited sms/mms and 10gb data a month. Oh yea and no roaming charges in sweden, italy, UK, ireland, hongkong and austria. The list of countries might grow since the european union is considering removing roaming charges completely within EU.
