Microsoft recently pushed Minecraft movie backgrounds for Teams users, including Enterprises

Can we sue the USCIS for not making an interview slot available for a family based greencard application and then rejecting the application because we didn't attend the interview before the time limit?

This might be a play against Snowflake Unistore (https://www.snowflake.com/blog/introducing-unistore/)

Even thought this is downvoted and it kind of underplays the overall devops role, I understand the sentiment here.

That might be a reason why Vercel, Netlify, Render and others are picking up usage. YC has been investing in several similar companies. Big cloud is going in the same direction with AWS Amplify/App Runner, GCP Firebase/Cloud Run and Azure.

This is not an exact answer to your question, but if you run a "simple" website or web application and really want to move to react, choose an easy to use and maintain popular framework like Next.js and host it on a platform like Vercel or Netlify

What is your opinion about Gigya, LoginRadius and other old timers in the CIAM space? How are you changing this space? Also how does it compare to AWS Cognito, GCP CIP and others?

I think, it is an industry wide problem

The mostly same problems plague Amazon Fire TV and Amazon Prime, Prime Channels, Prime Video for purchase, Prime video included in prime account, Prime App on different platforms, SSO with TV Network Apps. Looks like Apple is trying to catch up with mess.

With Google, I don't even know where to start. Messaging is not the only product line they messed up. Play Movies offering the same thing as Youtube Movies and Google Play Music - Youtube Music (you can buy, you can subscribe). Adding podcasts to Google Play Music, then removing it for a standalone app. However if you download the podcasts from the standalone app, they show up as Albums in Google Play music (on Android)

Been a paid user for a while. I love all the UI elements, markdown support, cross-platform compatibility etc. I have used Evernote, Simple Note and Boostnote previously.

Some problems however:

Desktop app takes a while to load. I understand it's electron, but so are Slack and VSCode. I am ready to keep it open on Mac. But on pressing Cmd+W, it closes the app, though not quit. Re-opening from that state is still slow. No other electron apps do that.

Offline experience on mobile isn't good. When I am in subway and want to jot down something quickly, it searches for internet for a while before allowing me to do anything

I have similar questions if @rauchg is still reading. We just got a premium account and was setting up Dockerfiles and now.json based on Now 1.0.

All, I want to do is provide a Dockerfile that included a cross-platform build process. Including now specific build tools is not ideal for avoiding vendor-lock in.

Now has amazing for us to build prototypes, internal sites etc that we may eventually move to our standardized AWS infrastructure. Adding now specific build tools makes the process unusable for us

I understand from the docs that Now 1.0 is not deprecated yet, but it bothers me to invest more time in converting some of our internal projects to Now

I second that. Long-running docker containers are more beneficial in many use-cases. Now 1.0 was the closest thing I found to Azure Container Instances and AWS Fargate

Now offering 1.0 style deployments on an ongoing basis will be helpful.

This is more of a question to @rauchg and others who have used now one. When I use now within the AWS realm, are the AWS services when used in conjunction with Zeit Now containers subjected to ingress/egress costs? As it does sound like I am using a different cloud as far as AWS is concerned

Also ACI (Azure Container Instances)

Looks like a low friction way to bring on new team members to GraphQL.

However, the tools is either broken or not finished yet. I tried to change posts to books in the JSON tab and I get an error below: "Cannot extend type "Post" because it does not exist in the existing schema."

> Maybe it's a consequence of people naturally caring more about their surroundings Agreed.

I actually find HN more globalist, than let's say mainstream US media or US based tech media, as represented by the OP techcrunch article.

Agreed, my comment was just a refreshment of title from previous commenter

Nope, more like: "Facebook will not roll out European privacy-related code changes to rest of the world"

I agree. It feels like Slack broke our trust. I don't have any records, but do remember slack in it's earlier days promised of not sharing private communication to the employers and sending the logs directly to govt agencies or 3rd party audit agencies.

Avid fish user since last 3 years. On feature I miss from bash is the `sudo !` to re-run previous command as sudo. Last time I checked fish didn't offer an equivalent. Either that or something similar will be useful

More platforms cannot ensure neutrality by itself; but can open options to relay voices that need to be put out.

Sorry, America (and NY Times), don't make this all about you. Facebook (and WhatsApp and Twitter and Google) have already significantly influenced the electorate of other nations with fake news and other such tactics. Look at the elections of more polarizing and more dangerous leaders before Trump in Turkey, Phillipines, India, et al. Good that you woke up now, but neutrality of the medium needs to be intact. In the long term, truth will win. More platforms, not more regulation is the answer.

Considering that distribution in future is all going to be digital, this makes sense at many levels for Disney.

If you see the changing landscape, other big studios already have distribution (NBC has Comcast, Time Warner is trying to merge with AT&T). Viacom, CBS and Fox will all make some moves soon. I expect traditional TV to fully transition to digital ecosystems by 2020 as publishing & music did before.

The competition for a user's time and attention watching video now cuts across verticals from the likes of NYT/WSJ/WaPo to Vox/AOL/Yahoo to Facebook/Snapchat/Instagram to Youtube/Netflix/Hulu to streaming services from TV Networks & Cable Companies. There will be a lot of consolidation in the process.

Interesting, that it will still survive in browsers till 2020. Co-incidentally, today at A+E Networks, we finally migrated all our web properties to HTML5 video playback.

How do you plan to scale to other cities? Franchises, distributors, technology support vendors?

So in the brand new blog post, they link to this page: https://www.google.com/googlevoice/about.html

When you click around, you get to see icons and screenshots from a bygone era

Slightly off-topic: Have people used 21:9 monitors for dev work? What has been your experience so far?

Universities are also debating this through safe spaces.

However, these events lead me to question if silencing the "bullies" is the only strategy in activist playbook? How is it different from a minority voice not being heard? If there is no common platform to interact with those "bullies", how else would you prove their belief's fallacious.

I work for a mid-sized media company and we use Vagrant & Packer to build all our infra. AWS CF Templates have been a big pain and we are evaluating Terraform as an alternative

What 3rd party players do you recommend for HTML5 MSE/EME based playback across popular browsers?

Happy to see Webkit at 98% ES6 completion. Hopefully, all of these updates are flowing into Safari
