Someone having an opinion on how it feels to write in a language rather than objective facts about how it works? Blasphemy!

This blog post was very painful to read without suffering second hand embarrassment.

Where do you think computers store data?

Ah, so the fact was wrong.

Probably the same answer as to why you would want tabs rather than separate windows in a web browser.

Ask any experienced C developer and they'd all say "I write excellent C compared to all C programmers out there."

Article mentioning suicide is the leading cause of deaths in young men in the opening paragraph.

You: probably due to their past privilege

This whole article felt like a poor sales pitch.

What wavelength offers:

- Privacy focused (majority of users do not care about this, all modern chat apps have e2ee already)

- Natively runs on Apple devices (without Android/Windows version, good luck getting a large user base, especially with 2 developers)

- An AI chatbot (discord/slack already have this?)

- A groups -> threads -> messages layout. Like they mentioned, the same as slack but less corporate. Seems like a good idea since Slack is pretty awful for personal use.

The article could've done less without the author patting themselves on the back about how amazing their opinions offered were.

You say: OpenAI really seems to believe that not publishing details will save them from competition.

Then say: The only competitive advantage that OpenAI has here is a headstart of 6-12 months

It's almost as if they want to keep this advantage, huh? Blows my mind how business illiterate some HN commenters are.

... and the OS is supposed to determine your intent how?

NDAs don't care where you sourced your knowledge from.

By far the worst take in the comments.

Google missed the boat and focused on the completely wrong things and yet Android is at 70%+ phone OS market share.

No phone consumer would care whether the developers of their apps had AI as part of their development toolkit.

Tl;dr

"Dear CTO, let me leech onto this unrelated topic to ask you to completely remove ways you gather data (even though it's the core way you create any of your products)."

Some people man..

Ease up on the YouTube conspiracy videos.

Unintelligible: impossible to understand.

Maybe you should brush up on your own English skills?

That's not what they said at all. You love to see people unable to read a couple of sentences before jumping to their own conclusion.

Sounds like you're testing wrong then ;)

What does Mattermost offer which Slack doesn't?

How can you call it a defect when it might have been a deliberate decision? Your whole post sounds like you're upset Google didn't hire you lmao

So it's better to teach children what targets they should rape/murder instead? Your take is quite brain-dead.

I charge my clients $550 an hour, so a $240 a year solution which takes 15 mins to set up is what I would choose over the time consuming alternatives offered.

You might want to learn about currency exchange rates.

Maybe show some comparisons so we can judge rather than just assessing "facts"

Sounds like a crappy company.

Those are all problems which have been "solved" by many companies. I'm sorry but none of this screams complex to me, all your problems have 2-3 "correct" choices, or you could just copy what almost all big companies do.

By that logic you're fine with Google handing over all users' location data to the police? Since the police can just determine if you're not involved in crime from it.

Because you can make a pinch motion to zoom into photos.

> It's detrimental to mental health and society

Got a source for that? Sounds like you expanded that personal anecdote a bit too much.

This was the only thing I was curious about, since the article was just leaping to conclusions and speculation.

So why didn't Pokemon Go pull out of Google Play? Your only example is from 6 year and keep the 30% which Google takes? You only have one example from 6 years ago and people only sideloaded there only because it wasn't available on Google Play.

The one example you provided proves the opposite of what you wanted lol

Trying to "gotcha" someone being helpful and replying to comments is quite rude. No one working at Facebook would reply yes to that comment, which makes it quite worthless.
