utm_source is set to 'HN', so the original poster did include it, or it would say something else.

Man, leave it to HN to turn an article that has _nothing_ to do with a specific technology (notice how the app the author makes an example of isn't even a web app?) into an excuse to soapbox about modern web development.

>Unfortunately your architecture limits us to JS style of development when failed request is ok, user will refresh the page.

On what planet is this "the JS style of development"? SPAs don't want to force the user to refresh the page for no good reason for the exact same reason that you don't want the user to close your app because their token has expired. The idea really isn't significantly different.

Absolutely. I also live in an Eastern European country with a large (and growing) IT outsourcing industry, and from my experience here, that statement couldn't be farther from the truth. These companies are some of the best employers in the country, with far above-average benefits, salaries and work conditions. Of course, some are worse than others, but that's true for any industry.

Jesus. It's amazing to think someone who's worked so long in the tech industry can think like this. If anything, we're the ones who should know best how little race means when you have the skills to get the job done.

Yeah, I uploaded my high school graduation photo and it guessed 27. Guess it weighs facial hair a bit too heavily.

Huh. When I read the title I figured it would be a crowdsourced system where people guessed the age and it just showed you the average.

This is much more interesting.
