barredo··on SpaceX to buy Cursor for $60B
>> SpaceX told investors during the IPO process that it sees an addressable market for AI products worth $26 trillion, roughly equivalent to U.S. GDP.

I very much can imagine a future documentary in a few years. With the host asking the audience: "Where were the signs?"

barredo··on Google ends its 30 percent app store fee and welcomes third-party app stores
How would Google know how much money any app not using their billing system is getting?
barredo··on An AI agent published a hit piece on me – more things have happened

barredo··on Show HN: One Human + One Agent = One Browser From Scratch in 20K LOC
The binaries are only around 1 MB for Linux, Mac and Windows. Very impressive https://github.com/embedding-shapes/one-agent-one-browser/re...
barredo··on Hacker News evading criticism by selectively adding noreferrer to certain links
that would be the nofollow attribute iirc
barredo··on Hacker News evading criticism by selectively adding noreferrer to certain links
ps Sure, there are a lot of technical methods to circumvent any block. Users in here share archive[.]today links that break paywalls all the time.
barredo··on Hacker News evading criticism by selectively adding noreferrer to certain links
I have been in HN since many of the current users could even type on a keyboard, and allow me to chip in.

* They have the right to block by referral

* HN has the right to set up that attribute to the links

* I don't think they are arguing about HN doing it, but to do it silently or covertly by someone in the moderation staff

I wont argue about legality or morals. It looks like they have an issue with the current dynamics of comments in here, and it's an honest way of protesting about it.

If the moderation staff does edit the link, title or attributes it should be reflected at least. Like when they add a date to specify that it's from a few years ago.

Of course, HN users could always choose to protest by protesting and sharing and discussing about the articles anyway. But that doesn't make their point any less valid.

I love this channel very much.
barredo··on The CEO of Twitter doesn't use Twitter
If anything, Jack is tweeting less now. He has been, was and still is very active

barredo··on The CEO of Twitter doesn't use Twitter
Jack Dorsey was a very prolific user. Zuckerberg is every day on Facebook. Tim Cook uses and iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac all day. and so on.
barredo··on Apple and Google must allow other in-app payment systems, Korean law declares
> The Mac App Store gives a hint at what would happen if there was any choice.

There's a choice of app store in Android and almost nobody uses Amazon App Store, F-Droid, Samsung App Store and so on. It's great that they can exist, but I don't think the Mac App Store (which has been neglected since day 1) offers any guidance.

People mostly use what they know or are giving by default. In desktop, be it Windows, Linux or macOS, people aren't used to app stores.

barredo··on Open Terms Archive – Follow changes to terms of service
They should offer just the diffs online first instead of collecting email addresses
barredo··on The Economics of 24/7 Lo-Fi Hip-Hop YouTube Livestreams
Yes. Sorry. Should I delete?

> all run by white European men in their twenties, I should say

what kind of perspective adds this? there's no such thing as "white European" in Europe. This is an Americanism

barredo··on New leak shows NSA harvests To, From, and Bcc lines of e-mail data
> The center will reportedly be able to store five zettabytes worth of information

I am sure some day in the future there will be MicroSD cards with this storage capacity. But now it is just mindblowing

~5.500.000.000.000 Gigabytes

barredo··on New leak shows NSA harvests To, From, and Bcc lines of e-mail data
Is there any numbers on the amount of hard drives NSA have?
barredo··on Apple Literally Stole my Thunder
Google decides what goes and what does not in Google Play.

It's not the only way to install things in Android. But technically, neither is the AppStore in iOS.

barredo··on Hong Kong Baffled by Snowden’s Hideout
Maybe he was ignorant, maybe he was spot on.

Maybe his hypothetical extradition will cause a sort-of diplomatic "mess" between Beijing and Honk Kong, leaving him a limbo where neither HK nor China will grant him total asylum but wont extradite him either

barredo··on Apple to patent a mobile-based method and system to transfer money
The most notorious thing about this is that money could be 'sponsored' (read: discount).

Also, what's the Foreign Application Data? It talks about a "Feb 26, 2008 GB", does it mean it was previously filed at that date in Great Britain?

barredo··on IBM to Acquire SoftLayer
I've been a customer of... +5 years of Softlayer. Their service has been always good/great, even on odd hours. Congrats to them.
barredo··on What’s in store for Google I/O?
This is with the network profile of the SIM card and/or the TTS of the connection if I'm not mistaken.

That's the reason I flagged the submission
barredo··on Microsoft Azure Sales Top $1 Billion, Challenging Amazon
Are Apple iCloud services still hosted with Azure tech? http://apple.slashdot.org/story/11/09/04/0051209/apples-iclo...

Because that alone could be a large portion of that $1B
