We are though, at least in a way. Isn't evolution a really slow design process?

One time I was in Amsterdam, a guy approached us and pretty bluntly asked if we need any cocaine. That was pretty telling.

And this team of 5 would surely have access to those resources.

I seriously owe most of my life to the community FriendFeed gathered. If anyone from that team is reading this, thank you.

It was an amazing social network in every way. It had great UX and minimal UI, it was fast, had power features but was still simple to use and the idea of lifestream meets social feed still makes perfect sense.

The community it gathered allowed me to jumpstart at my career at the age of ~14. I even discovered HN on FF. It’s been nearly 10 years after I first signed up and I still meet people IRL that I’ve followed on FF. It’s always like meeting your countrymen in a foreign country. We talk about the old country before Zuckerberg bought it.

Not OP but I also have a timer for certain social media apps, including Facebook.

For me, the timer is just there to remind me X minutes have passed. Losing track of time while doing something, anything feels natural to me. It happens in real life when I stumble upon a friend on the street and we start chatting and it happens in social media when I scroll too much.

If I'm reading something and my time is up, I just extend that and able to close the app afterward.

> I read that Atatürk chose his as "Father/Sire/Source of the Turks"

IIRC, the Parliament (Grand National Assembly of Turkey) gave Atatürk his "surname".

It might give more context to add his definition of "Turk" is similar to "American". Basically, it's about how you feel; if you feel like you're Turkish, you're Turkish. It's not tied to a specific race.

Disclaimer: My company works with Teyit and I've built the archiving product. Also: This is a shameless plug.

Teyit.org[0], the biggest fact-checking organization in Turkey, has their own archiving site called teyit.link[1].

It's a non-profit organization and they automatically archive any link that's sent to them via their site, Twitter, Facebook etc.. It's also usable by the public.

It's open source on GitHub[2] and we've actually been developing a new version[3] and have a plan to add `youtube-dl` along with WARC.

https://grommet.io/ is awesome too.

Disclaimer: I am Turkish and I live in Istanbul.

Well, you could say that the United States is run by a similar person. That does mean all of the U.S. is like that?

Istanbul does have a good intellectual atmosphere. Izmir too.

I'm not going to say it's all fine over here, but it's perfect for a digital nomad. Istanbul, especially places like Besiktas and Kadikoy are perfect.

It's admittedly off topic but if you don't mind me asking, what are the reasons for you to change your number every 1-2 years? Doesn't that complicate things with past clients, old friends and maybe even with family?

I changed my number 3 years ago but I still keep my old number active because it occasionally gets calls or text from past contacts.

I don't know how it works in your country but in Turkey you can return the Windows license and get your computer with FreeDOS so you don't have to use or pay for Windows.

It's easily the second most popular brand after Samsung.

Honestly, I wouldn't dismiss the technical capabilities of the Turkish government.

I don't understand the relation/reference.

I'm Turkish and have been watching the news but I don't see any reason why someone correlates large websites being down with Turkey. With no explanation too.

Can you elaborate please? This is an honest question and I would like to know if my government is hacking foreign sites in retaliation for sanctions.

The way I see it, it's not worth the risk of Facebook forking it and essentially getting control of the community of developers who are using Atom. A better way to do it IMHO, as other people in the thread mentioned, is just integrating Microsoft products like Azure to promote their enterprise offerings (where they make their money).

Eventually, though, they might want to allow an easy transition to VS Code in some way to cut redundancies but doing it too soon would anger too many people. Atom seems to be losing market share anyways.

On my iPhone 8 Plus, it's under a second and honestly, not that bad.

If it's open in the background it's nearly instant to switch to it, unlike some other apps.

I've never heard of deposits for reservations for a restaurant. And I've at least once made a reservation for restaurant with a Micheline star.

I'm not sure if this is common practice at least in Europe. I'm sure it's unheard-of in Turkey (and I've been lucky enough to make reservations for some high end and/or very popular restaurants).

May I ask in which countries you've experienced this in? I'm genuinely curious.

It's the same with Turkish. There is a text in Turkish on orkut.com, but the app hello is not available in iOS App Store in Turkey.

I wouldn’t want to defend someone who opened fire on innocent people but I also think we can’t say she had no problem doing this. She is/was clearly troubled. I watched a few of her videos before and it was either scripted or she had problems for a long time.

Mental health is no joke. She shouldn't had any access to any guns. To be fair though, I haven't read about how she acquired the gun.

In Turkey, I'm using a bank called Garanti. They give you one virtual MasterCard, linked to your normal cash accounts. Allows you to transfer money to the card and back, no charge and instantly. And I haven't encountered anywhere where I can't use it, unlike my debit card where only a few online places accept it.

The camera and the sensors can be available but I'm certain the auth mechanism itself won't be accessible. AFAIK they have a dedicated chip for this like Touch ID and what software can is limited.

I don't think Apple would allow that in their platform but could certainly give ad tech firms ideas.

May I ask if which time zones you prefer? I was going to ping you via e-mail but this could help other potential applicants too.

Which is even more interesting, considering there are only 3 real real (not a MVNO) operators in Turkey and only one not playing this message is Turk Telekom.

A company that was founded by the government, even now partially owned by the government.

Yeah, I've noticed the injected video my ISP, Turkcell Superonline. Only works with sites with no HTTPS/HTTP->HTTPS redirection since they can't proxy sites with SSL.

Interestingly, I don't get the Erdogan's message on my cell. My friends tried calling me last night to hear the message, they don't hear it when they call me either. Could be related to me using my networks -paid- call ring tone customising app.

We've been using this product in production for about 6 months now and it's been great once we've figured out best implementations (for us) like database structures.

I wish Facebook brings something similar to the Instagram.

I recently got hacked and lost my account and my first name username for good[0]. They don't even allow 2 factor auth on accounts with low followers there.

So this is my problem too but somehow I've managed to do it.

I've went into the Mission Control state and dragged the Neon app into a new screen. It was a pleasant full-screen experience with only the app full-screen and not an individual tab, which is what I expect from the full-screen mode.

Problem is when I tried it again, it didn't work. Not sure what's wrong but this is a newly released software so I'm sure they'll fix it.

Apart from that, it's really amazing. I especially LOVED the media control features.

edit: Got it now. Go into the full-screen mode when there no active tabs. Works perfectly after that.

As far as I know, they are using Blink (Google's WebKit fork), rather than WebKit.

Yesterday I've discovered Airtable, you might wanna check that out if you need something like this.
