Checks one from the 90's: > This Site Is Under Construction and Coming Soon. I won't hold my breath!

> Great developers, more often than not, get bored. If they have any sort of intellectual curiosity, they will leave. This is a good point. When you're skilled and have a good netw…

I think it’s a lot more complicated than your oversimplification. For example, where does a quid-pro-quo relationship fit into your categories? Saying leaked out of “ego” is equiva…

> raising $660 million from approximately 32,000 people. Honestly where is this money coming from? Is there just that much money sloshing around in the world chasing after these ha…

At the same time, my life is more peaceful now knowing they’re operational.

It is chronically low in the Bay Area.

Me too. I recently went to YouTube to see examples of a specific type of stone fruit grafting and was not disappointed. So many great examples for such a niche thing.

Trust is earned. Many of us (myself included) feel that 1Password has earned that trust. Don’t let us down :-)

Hard to sympathize with an owner of two Tesla’s complaining his/her pericular edge case is being overlooked. The vast amount of people will be covered with WiFi. The rest of the Te…

That’s pretty much been the story of all communist countries. Rather than say they’re “doing it wrong”, we should ask ourselves why such methods of government tends to create such …

We’re at the point now where labels such as “capitalist” and “communist” is meaningless. China is a purported communist country but is minting more billionaires per year than any o…

If they were looking at my face through my camera while I read their ToS, they wouldn't need a patented technology to know how I felt about their technology.

I wish I could agree. Half of the time I spent on my last linux laptop was spent frustratingly trying to get things to work. The screen font was too small for some stuff, too big f…

There's no reason you can't have both.

Initially I saw an Apple logo and was genuinely surprised, but after realizing it was an HP logo I was much less so. It would be really interesting to see what each company does to…

> Security takes a back seat to animojis and better cameras. I somewhat agree with you, but iPhone security is first-in-class.

> The affected information included usernames, email addresses, and hashed passwords - the majority with the hashing function called bcrypt used to secure passwords. I really appre…
