I was just referring to the 'Subscription service vs One-time purchase' model. If you want to make a single presentation in a year, perhaps, not considering any differences, you are better of buying templates on Themeforest. But the convenience, cost-effectiveness of such a service, i can certainly see value
What makes Spotify better than early iTunes? Quite obvious, no?
Genuinely curious. What did you find most appealing? For me, the landing page looks.. average.
Great job! What would you say are the most challenging gaps between online sessions compared to traditional in-person sessions? What are your plans to bridge the gaps?
I dont think its just about playing by the book of law. I'm sure they also consider optics and trust in the brand.
Just a word of caution regarding the throwaways in this thread. Take them for what they are, anecdotal claims
Exactly what i wanted to post. Also excludes everyone who is married or has to feed their family.
Security by obscurity:D
Electronics are cheaper in Switzerland
One of the most interesting reads in the recent times.
I believe it's just an expectation that has been built by previous tippers. When there's a significant positive event like childbirth, obtaining a driving license, e.t.c, naturally people tend to tip. This sets a precedent and they start expecting as a sort of obligation.
Good points. I haven't read the link but aren't you missing the equation of price economics? Bitcoin is only highly skewed for early miners only if they have held on to their rewards stash.
Atleast what the designer intended/predicted if I remember correctly, is for the reward value over time to be the same. This is of course not backed by mathematical equation of sort. I would way super early mining is more similar to being the first employee of a startup that pays you in equity only.
I like how you think
For productivity apps I would agree. I personally don't care much for other apps. Good UX doesn't necessarily need native look IMHO
I want to believe you are right. I have no experience in app development but before committing with Flutter, this is a big concern for me. If you take the app say, Tinder, I believe it has consistent design elements between IOS and Android except for a few pages like settings.
I would bet Uber has created wealth, a lot of it. Uber didn't just sway rides from Medallions, i would imagine it increased rides by manifold. Note: Not considering environmental impact. (E) I'm not saying it's a flawless model, but you can't discount how it led to more people taking ride shares in contrast to car ownership. I think this is obvious in urban areas.
Genuinely curious about this cycle of opinion on Hacker news. It's trendy to shit on these companies until it's not.
Jitsi is on a roll! By the way, Does anyone know the challenging part of e2e in video chats? Thinking out of intuition, it would be keys are exchanged during handshake and binary data is decoded on the clients? I'm just wondering how could Zoom miss it?
I believe fiat withdrawal fees / trading are a lot higher than transferwise fee, at least in my case. Which exchange do you use if I may ask?
The article doesn't present complete facts. Regarding zero-sum game, this perhaps was true in the old pagerank algorithm. But I'd believe Google's ranking algorithm has advanced beyond simple keyword density, passing links. What I've noticed is it now gives much more emphasis to user experience. (With metrics like bounce rate meaning the searcher didnt find what he looked for and went back to search results)
We all like to shit on Google but there's no search engine even remotely close to the quality of results. Of course, there's a lot of spam associated with SEO, hacking attempts, spam comments, e.t.c. There are side effects of its algorithm of course, that are negative to web.
How realistic would it be for someone to be able to make a business out of it at this moment? The problem I would see and described in the article is quality assurance. But I believe this could go a really long way in helping with ventilator shortage that could very well be inevitable.
I don't think 'technology must' is the narrative here. Well, it's trying to solve a problem. What's wrong in having different approaches for solving a problem? I don't think they are preaching on being the only solution and "disrupt" traditional approaches.
You're absolutely wrong. Technology enables an avenue for easier communication, discovery. It may not be a panacea and not the only solution. But saying 'it won't fix' is defeatist.
