>So glad Angular is dying off.

Uh, I'm gonna challenge you to give a source on that. Your comment sounds extremely biased towards React and dismissive towards Angular. None of those are dying out, I wouldn't we even say they compete directly.

Brazil is doing a similar bank-agnostic system called PIX. Kinda interesting how in the previous thread where I mentioned it a lot of people were against it because it was "not competitive" while here I'm seeing (mostly) praise for UPI.

IMHO, this is how it should be, a bank-agnostic standard set by the central bank that other services use to connect to the central and with each other. Competition is good? Yes, but not when it's a complete mess.

And this is good. This browser needs to die already.

I'm glad the company I work at also dropped IE in new projects and have plans to upgrade older projects too.

I'm still sad at how Technorati ended, loved the service back then.

Oh god. I got COMPLETELY derailed by this last month. My girlfriend's son was using my tablet (which is logged on my main Google account) and recently I was being victim of this, and suddenly he asked me "what's a bussy?"

I never logged my account out of an device so fast. Google needs to fix this crap.

I worked at a company last year (specifically their RPA sector) that one of the projects we got was create a "robot" to automate certain tasks within a client.

Later after we delivered it, we learned that project alone was the reason the client cut 700 low level positions. A single "robot" could do in an afternoon what 700 people did in a week. (Was/is a pretty large company.)

The words from my manager still echo in my mind: "If we think of the "ethical" aspect of it, we wouldn't have our own jobs."

It supports some markdown, but I agree, that and a dark mode (I made a really basic one for the Stylish extension) would be the only things I'd accept as a change.

Aside that anything like making the site full of JS for more functions would be a no from me. :-)

Ironically, I tried replying to spam to have fun and never got an answer. I assume they know their targets?

Function over form. I don't think this is a bad thing, HN doesn't need to be any more advanced, it does its job really well as is.

It's good to see which companies you shouldn't work for.

If I'm not mistaken their CEO (Stewart) is known for saying some... Weird things. And then changing his mind right after. (My experience is from as an user on early Flickr days and his game, Glitch.)

And the market may find a way to cripple Intel.

I'm looking forward to our ARM future. :-)

+1, I loved how well it worked, I'd be willing to pay too.
