That is correct.

European business culture also contributes in some small part, so given enough growth it would have eventually been a problem anyways, but it was exacerbated by importing tens of thousands of primitive terrorists.

This is almost a cliche of people who don't know shit shout cuba.

They've had an Internet for years with no wifi. They have mechanics that can reliably work on cars from a half century ago.

Cuba is a wealth of intelligent engineering minds, plagued by reprehensible Communist rule. Money has never stopped the cuban spirit.

It's a disgrace to compare the Cuban spirit to Saudi Arabia.

Why would you make that point and imply that my opinion matches up just because other people think that way?

Saudi politics are possibly more detestable than Cuba. Id have said as much if I figured some clueless HN user would pigeon hole my argument.

Twilio, craigslist, twitter, wikipedia, are all pretty simple from the top view.

Don't you think they'd have thought that through?

I admire your diligent concern, but I thought the same thing for a split second and dismissed it.

I can't imagine even a corporate churn machine with the most reckless abandon designing a device like this and missing the most basic obvious attack vector.

Well, anyways....

The software release of the year, easily.

What an incredible journey the team has had this far. A very approachable group of people involved with the project have tirelessly given their work to the Julia language and finally, FINALLY the 1.0 is ready for consumption.

As if I wasn't psyched for this weekend enough already!

What is the net outcome of a trade war? Is it just money shifting around?

I'm not squeamish about putting some pain on China, but who's to say they won't resume the same tactics later on?

Clicking (doc) leads me back to the landing page.

These bullet points are exciting but where is the docs? Examples? Anything?

Dart excommunicated server side dart. If I were someone who has already been let down once by that decision and is already frustrated by the extremely lackluster library story for server side dart, why should I use dart?

Flutter is the only reason. I don't care about mobile. Hell, if they take android to flutter-only, it'll finally give me the fire to switch to iOS. I been meaning to anyways.

I'm happy that Bracha got out of there. What a shame such a bright man's work has been so foully steeped in Google nonsense.

Opera is incredibly smooth, works on every device I own, it's fast.

The new ownership situation isn't optimal but the quality hasn't gone to shit yet imo.

I remember when opera used to have an IMAP client built in and you could open up an IRC chat tab, it had so much cool stuff!

Mozilla is terrible. Way too left, low quality everything. Mozilla is the single most toxic thing in software culture in the past fifteen years, imo.

Your remark is sorta like "I don't trust Frigidaire, they only have one product!"

Which of course places you in perfect position to shill for Mozilla.
