Thanks for the post! Right before I saw this on HN I was watching a video on how to build a Klon clone, so this write-up couldn't have come at a better time.

As an EM, these points are quite helpful. Regarding your fourth point, how do you filter out or deal with bad apples?

I think that's the joke. If they added more cameras such that they covered the back of the phone, there wouldn't be a bump.

Mike Ash’s posts are gold. I wish there were more in depth technical posts like those on HN or Lobsters.

Aside from the other mentioned reasons, browsers can have ad blockers installed. The reddit mobile app ensures they can monetize.

[edit] now that I think of it, probably the same reason Twitch was pushing its desktop app.

Aside from a few things that were already mentioned here, I just started paying for sr.ht from sircmpwn. I’m a bit weary to completely replace my Github account since it’s in alpha but otherwise it’s been a great service.

My guess would be that the office is from the Beats acquisition. A quick job search on their website seems to confirm that as there are a few audio/DSP positions.

Can’t speak from actually purchasing from them, but System76 laptops seems like a great option for getting a Linux computer. The website is in stark contrast to the maze that the Dell website is.

One of the screenshots doesn’t resize properly down to mobile. FYI.

Spark is by far my favorite email app. Unfortunately, I’m a bit weary of using it because they get access to all my emails. I know they use it for push notifications, but I still have to blindly trust that they won’t over reach.

I wonder if the 1Password animation only seems egregious to me because I'm not the crowd that it'll add value to. I understand on some level what 1Password does when I enter in my password. If I were to get my parents to use 1Password however, the visual effect of the vault unlocking could help them understand what 1Password does.

I think we may be too quick to judge these things within our own context rather than in the broad range of users which these user systems were designed for.
