One data point: it is not bad at all. I use Firefox as my primary browser(having used chrome on and off for many years) and it works well for almost everything. There are occasiona…

A few points to point out: from your post, it sounds like Amazon never applies for h1b which is not true. They just don't prefer to use it for a person who is not already in USA. T…

Thanks for the answer! A followup question: So would something like this work? Owner 1 ( Owner 2 ( Investor 1,2 (>0% ownership, say 2%) (I understand that things vary from case to …

Hi Peter, Thanks for taking the time out to answer questions! I am from India and am in US on H1B with gc process underway in EB2 category. I (along with a fellow friend) have been…

I had the same question. I clicked on a few links that I thought would lead to the product description but they didn't. Eventually I realized that the domain was open.buffer.com. O…

I thought this already worked. Okay Google... Play music will start Music app Okay Google... Start Radio will start NPR app

I think that is just a habit(or reflective of my state of mind). They do not sacrifice employees for good reviews on Hacker News (at least not that I am aware of...). /note-to-self…

Both. I have a 7 month old and just finished working on a decently sized project (amp-analytics[1]). Both my team and manager have been super supportive through the process. I don'…

Even if it isn't evicted very often, the first time it is loaded, it will be ~3 times faster, it will take up less storage thus better for others and (probably) easier to render.

I think you and the parent are confusing the display size with phone size. The phone height is >5 inches. The display is 4.7 inches diagonally. The device size diagonally will be m…
