My friend - apologies for your experience.

In my experience, you can clean up your feed of unwanted content pretty quickly. Just go to discover and long tap > "Not Interested" on the stuff that's of the genre you want to filter out of your life.

I do this every couple months with IG babes & thot accounts to keep my feed free of sexual imagery. Works a charm.

Not sure the real world agrees. Including almost every other law, accounting, and financial practice - personality-centric companies make up a non-trivial percentage of the worlds most iconic brands.

Just off the top of my head:

Disney Bloomberg Automattic Air Jordan Craigslist Baskin-Robbins Andreesen-Horowitz Kleiner Perkins Wilson Sonsini Goodrich and Rosati Fenwick & West

> I can't think of a better way to actually maintain a clear understanding of what's going on at a place like Shopify.

Talking to customers would be one better way to maintain said clear understanding.

Running your own Shopify store (which Tobias also does) could potentially be another.

I appreciate the compassionate nature of your comment, but anecdotally I can very much attest to this thought being the first thing through my mind when I read the post title.

This question sitting at the top further validates that other people are wondering it, so disappointing as it may be - people are curious!

Great summary.

I'm very biased (active developer in Telegram ecosystem), but I'm having a hard time imagining Durov letting this SEC case stop him.

Even if he has to return all the funds, I'm confident he will still push forward and bring TON and Grams into production.

It's less of a straight path, but Durov's smart and stubborn - two valuable traits in this circumstace.

Key points:

>Volodymyr Kvashuk, a 25-year-old software developer and Ukrainian citizen who worked for Microsoft from 2016 to 2018, took advantage of a testing program for Microsoft’s online retail sales platform. He made test accounts to obtain “currency stored value” such as Microsoft gift cards and then resold them online.

>Kvashuk will be sentenced June 1 in U.S District Court and faces up to 20 years in prison.

Ouch.

Cool to see a follow Telegram developer on Hacker News! We're building an unofficial Telegram client for business users & teams, also using TDLib and the Telegram API. It's a great ecosystem to be in (we're long Telegram!)

Nice work!

No to Chrome 7 years ago

They really miss an opportunity to say WHY anywhere on the landing page, instead going straight to: "Chrome is bad. Here's some alternatives."

Your perspective might seem overly cynical to some.

As a counterpoint: it's funny/playful, it speaks to their niche, and it speaks to the utility/functionality of their product.

Watching WeWork's IPO fall apart was satisfying because it felt, in part, like a small bit of justice being served.

Sadly, this outcome for Neumann is the undoing of both that sense of satisfaction and of justice.

(Note to self: don't let this jade you. Keep focusing on creating wealth by creating value.)

As a former sales rep for Yelp, I can relate to being on the inside of an operation that was accused of conspiracy when, in fact, no conspiracy existed. It's frustrating.

I don't agree with a LOT of what Facebook (and Instagram) does, but I also don't think everything they do is with the intent of evil.

The specific callout of restricting "cryptocurrency purchases" in the title is click-bait.

Actual context from the article:

And according to Reuters, it will also come with a ban on purchasing cash advances and cash equivalents, with the latter including cryptocurrencies, casino chips, and lottery tickets.

>It would seem neither Apple nor Goldman Sachs has anything in particular against cryptocurrencies, but Bitcoin and other digital tokens would seem to fall under the cash equivalents umbrella.

This was beautifully written, and very, very much captures my sentiments (and experiences) with psychedelics as well.

Actually, reading your post was moving. Maybe the most impactful HN post I can remember reading (perhaps with some amount of recency bias in it's favor. Still...)

Thank you!

Very well said. I've often had trouble putting into words the exact sentiment you just described.

I straddle the communities of tech/startups an the "digital nomad" world, and feel similarly when I go to dense nomad hubs (particularly Chiang Mai).

Too much of one thing gets old really fast.
