Absolutely agreed that it doesn't make much business sense to keep supporting LR6. And 5 years is a long timer in the software world. That said, I wonder if there are companies that do support older versions of software just for the sake of customer delight.

I recently upgraded to an M1 Mac after my 2016 MacBook Pro died. It's an awesome machine; however, when I tried to install Lightroom 6, I wasn't able to because the installer isn't 64 bit. As a hobbyist who edits photos only a handful of times a year – usually after trips or photoshoots – moving to a subscription model is really costly. What's silly is that I was able to use Lightroom 6 on my 2016 MBP, even after upgrading to Big Sur. I don't blame Adobe for not supporting a product that came out 5 years ago but how nice would it be if they did.

That's a fair point. I use Robinhood to diversify my porfolio so it's not just tracking against the market. So far, whether due to luck or skill, or both, it's been working out pretty well. So to put it another way, I don't see Robinhood as a replacement for the traditional brokerages (yet), but as a supplement.

As a Robinhood user, no fees is a big draw because while I don't buy/sell stocks that often, I might still be saving $50 a year. That extra $50 can be invested.

But beyond that, Robinhood has a really easy to use UI compared to platforms like TDAmeritrade. It's not only much easier to make trades but also see information like how much dividends I've earned, whether a company has hit their earnings, etc.

Robinhood also lets me invest any money I transfer from my bank immediately. There's no 3-5 business day wait. That said, I'm not sure if this is feature available to everyone or only those on Robinhood Gold.

I'd like to suggest donating money to causes/organizations you believe in, whether that's locally, in the US, or abroad. If you have excess, why not use a bit of that to help someone else? (Plus, it's often tax deductible.)

I'm not sure the comment was about the CEO's looks as much as the photo itself. It has a stock/cliche feel to it with the product in the foreground, slight smile, pose, clothing, etc.

Impressive indeed. Would you happen to know if Facebook is able to translate without using English as an intermediate language? For example, from Dutch directly to French, without needing to go from Dutch to English to French.

I wonder about that to. To me, cryptocurrency is akin to hiding cash under your mattress – except it's digital. You have to figure out security on your own, there's no protection against fraud, and if your money is stolen, it's gone. On top of that, it's wildly volatile as others have mentioned.

For people in nations with stable governments and currencies, access to credit, and nothing to hide, there's no compelling to use cryptocurrencies day to day.

Don't think it'll happen. From the article:

A hard fork would be impractical–what do you do about all of the transactions that occur downstream? What about the people who innocently traded assets with the attacker? Once the ether they’ve stolen gets laundered and enters general circulation, it’s like counterfeit bills circulating in the economy — it’s easy to stop when it’s all in one briefcase, but once everyone’s potentially holding a counterfeit bill, you can’t really turn back the clock anymore.

Also, a tweet from Vitalik:

PM at a startup.

I guess I could be considered a "junior PM" as I have less than a year of official PM experience. I started off as employee #2 in our US office. My main role was marketing but I worked closely with our designers and engineers throughout the years (giving design feedback, writing copy, etc.). I also led the effort of redesigning of our website, and worked directly with a designer and an engineer throughout that process. So our CEO and VP of Product knew what I was capable of. When the PM opportunity came up internally, I made the switch.

Definitely recommend externalizing your strings into one of the standard localization file formats (.po, .strings, XLIFF etc.) as mtmail suggested.

Once your content is in a file, you'll be able to use a platform like Transifex (disclosure: I work there) to manage and automate your localization process. You'll be able to invite your translators, track the progress of work, and communicate directly with them. Once the translations are done, you can get the translated files via the web UI, API, or command-line tool and use them in your apps.

Most of our customers are software companies and use Transifex to make localization manageable even with daily or weekly releases. We have a case study of Eventbrite on our site at https://www.transifex.com/customers/casestudies/eventbrite/. Disqus also talked about how they use Transifex at a conference a few years back: http://confreaks.tv/videos/kodio_2014-continuous-translation....

Hope that helps!

I hate it when that happens too, but I don't think this is will happen in FbStart's case. We're a program partner and companies who get accepted get a code they can redeem on our site for 6 or 12 months free, depending on the track. No credit card is required (at least for our service, not sure about other partners), so if they decide not to subscribe at the end of the program, they can just go.
