sam1r··on Slack wants to become the 'long-term memory' for organizations
Additionally, it’s nowhere perfect as a product to expect such a reliance on a daily basis.

For instance, query times for search is not optimal, file upload times, especially on mobile, are slower than my internet connection speed.

The immediate key-bindings are super clutch + simple.

So much fun on desktop. A nice faded history with strikethrough attempts (optional), would be neat on the UI front.

sam1r··on Show HN: Pls Fix – Hire big tech employees to appeal account suspensions

sam1r··on Ask HN: What nonfiction books do you keep rereading?
>>> Unfortunate title for one of the best books on plain common sense when it comes to interacting with people)

Many say the same of the infamous “the art of the deal” from Donald J Trump” in 1989.

He, (pretty much), defines a base framework he still follows himself vehemently, today.

The way he executes today becomes a little less exciting, imo, each time he takes over headlines.

sam1r··on The Internet Archive's last-ditch effort to save itself
I truly enjoyed the authors’ tone throughout. It felt like a condensed drama / saga.

Can’t wait to hear what happens next!

You really **should* create a twitter, create +place its icon next to instagrams -- and then.. create 30-s spinning record samples of your favorite artists and tweet at them with your digital art.

sam1r··on FBI confirms it issued remote kill command to blow out Volt Typhoon's botnet
>>> the FBI sent specific KV Botnet commands to compromised routers to collect "non-content information about those nodes.

This must’ve been so fun for whomever individual(s) working on this from the FBI.

sam1r··on Figma and Adobe abandon proposed merger
Hmph, I was more under the assumption that this was more of a "We're going to get into Adobe's space" and become a competitor to drive up our valuation.

Wow! Thanks for posting this.

It’s not trivial, but very meticulously written.

It would definitely classify as a “learn python the hard way” challenge for a math-y learner.

No carrots or distractions involved.

sam1r··on Most promoted and blocked domains among Kagi Search users
Yes, but 99.9 percent of its users do not know these filters/features exist. Still don't.

Google didn't prioritize it's visibility [intentioally] over the past 2 decades as well. Maybe it's time to do so.

I can't imagine how tedious the process may be to make very small changes on the main google home page.

>> In just the last few years, the game of football has been party to a bounty scandal, performance-enhancing drug allegations, concussion-related suicides, rapes, murders, drunken driving deaths and at least one child-molestation scandal. The NBA has had a referee go to prison for betting on games he officiated. Baseball’s own Hall of Fame couldn’t find a single living player worthy of induction this year. And the NHL’s audiences and revenues have spiraled downward thanks to a number of labor disputes and games now appearing on cable channels nobody can find.

Wow! There goes the little FOMO I have [or had] on watching sports.

I wonder if this part is satire, if so, how come? I definitely feel it should be much less.

This was both funny and ironic at the same time.
