slackoverflower··on Every Major Advertising Group Is Blasting Apple for Blocking Cookies in Safari
None of these changes really affect Google, since users typically use their services every day. It's almost like Apple is helping Google get more powerful. It's the smaller ad networks and exchanges that will suffer a lot.
slackoverflower··on Government launches login.gov to simplify access to public services
Maybe you don't have trust in the people that run the current government, just like a good portion of the American population do.
slackoverflower··on Facebook and Microsoft introduce ecosystem for interchangeable AI frameworks
You got it right. Tensorflow is HUGE in the AI community, Facebook and Microsoft are scared. I, for one, am a huge fan of Tensorflow and don't plan on learning anything new to do the work I'm already doing. Facebook and Microsoft should just join Google's coalition and use Tensorflow company-wide.
slackoverflower··on Supporting Hypothesis
Lol. Not that surprised since Stripe's backend is basically still Ruby on Rails. Probably a Ruby engineer that wrote the article, writing Python for the first time in a while.
slackoverflower··on The Why and How of Google AMP at Condé Nast
You seem to be the missing the whole point of AMP's popularity. The glorious sliding carousel on Google.com that gives any news website a massive SEO boost. AMP is the biggest thing to hit the SEO industry in a while. I imagine most of these media companies could not give a shit about website optimization, its all about website monetization.
slackoverflower··on Ask HN: What problem in your business is worth paying 10k/y for?
This is good thread for anyone wanting to figure out what B2B SaaS business to build.
slackoverflower··on Apple Scales Back Its Ambitions for a Self-Driving Car
Is it that you don't want self driving cars to happen or you don't THINK it will happen? I, for one, am super excited for self driving personal vehicles and will be glad to see the eradication of mass public transportation like trains and buses.
slackoverflower··on Apple Scales Back Its Ambitions for a Self-Driving Car
Nope. Flat design for iOS was Apple's best move. iOS 7 was what made iOS amazing. I have no clue what you're talking about. Full credit to Jony Ive, some of the UI design I've seen.
slackoverflower··on Chrome Enterprise
This is targeted at the enterprise like the product name says. $50/device for a huge corporation this product is for is just a dot on the balance sheet. For Google, charging consumers for products is just a fraction of the money they make showing ads to consumers.
slackoverflower··on Explaining React's license
Of course they release this late on a Friday so it is does not get much reach. Facebook is very very evil - in every part of the company. Copying other's ideas (Snapchat) yet trying to stop other companies from copying them (this licensing).
slackoverflower··on Ask HN: What’s the best online purchase and checkout experience
Amazon definitely.
slackoverflower··on Video is Coming to Reddit
Sure as hell benefits Reddit. Ads are their business and main priority, users come second.
slackoverflower··on Ask HN: One thing you wish would happen in the next 10 years?
Worldwide 5G
slackoverflower··on Ask HN: What industry/dept. is easiest to sell to?
We started our sales automation SaaS product a couple years ago when the market was relatively young. Today it is super saturated. Would not advise people to get into this market, we just got super lucky and got big.
slackoverflower··on App pays users to line up outside new restaurants
Most android apps force you to give them the permission to get your location at any time, when installing the app. Heck, I am sure if you're using iOS there are apps getting your location all the time too. Kinda pointless to stop a simple app getting your location when you have Google and Facebook obviously selling it to the highest bidder.
slackoverflower··on Ask HN: Favorite blogs?
Good catch, mtmail. It is pretty obvious OP is going to still content again for his personal gain. No one should reply to this thread as it encourages theft from js7745.
slackoverflower··on Amazon opens 'Instant Pickup' points in US brick-and-mortar push
This is pretty genius. Back at college, the regular USPS office looked like an Amazon branded post office. Almost all boxes had the distinct blue tape with the Amazon Prime logo. College students, though broke, love to impulse buy. Amazing move by Amazon.
slackoverflower··on Gates Makes Largest Donation Since 2000 with $4.6B Pledge
You do realize his foundation helped eradicate polio worldwide. Some of you HNers can't give people a break.
slackoverflower··on Snap sold fewer than 42K Spectacles, down 35% in Q2
I don't think your the target audience. Snapchat UX is amazing and an entire generation uses for all communication purposes. Facebook of OUR time.
slackoverflower··on F.lux major update
Was expecting them to announce a $5 monthly subscription to use the new version too. Lol. "SOFTWARE SHOULD BE SUBSCRIPTION"
slackoverflower··on Google is paying Apple billions per year to remain on the iPhone
Pretty baffling that a few lines of code for a default setting could be worth the GDP of a country...
slackoverflower··on Subscription is the only way to do software
The current status quo for consumers is software should be free. Changing that is going to be very, very tough.
slackoverflower··on Facebook’s Onavo Gives Social-Media Firm Inside Peek at Rivals’ Users
Facebook is very very evil, much more so than Google. SEC/DOJ/whoever needs to step in and stop Zuckerberg.
slackoverflower··on Big brother is here, and his name is Facebook
How did they get your email and your name?
slackoverflower··on “With $80B in Value Created, Techstars Is the #1 Global Accelerator”
Thank you! :)
slackoverflower··on “With $80B in Value Created, Techstars Is the #1 Global Accelerator”
Biggest outlier is Uber, and they aren't even a Techstars company. They just invested in their seed round, never was part of the accelerator that is Techstars. YC probably comes out on top if you just remove Uber.
slackoverflower··on Introducing Watch, a new platform for shows on Facebook
It's a lot more than a few Youtubers. Youtube is a creator ecosystem Facebook could never live up to be. Facebook is for brands only.
slackoverflower··on Netlify Raises $12M from A16Z
Read that as Netflix the first time. Was confused since Netflix's valuation is well past $50b+
slackoverflower··on Ask HN: What is the single most wanted SaaS based product you want to built?
Tell me when you find the answer! I'll build it and sell it to those people.
slackoverflower··on To start a billion dollar startup, start looking for problems
Or you could create a problem to solve! Uber is trying to underprice the taxi industry into bankrupt, then there will no more taxis and only Uber! Capitalism!
