Attacks on Israel clearly show that Iran - just like Russia - sees the civilian population as a legitimate target. Question of tactics remains, of course.

whether or not Iran would limit themselves to military targets

This question has long been answered

Interesting notion, but how do you know it's 13.6 and not 13.600?

Well now I wonder why I assumed that you were a participant?

There are many more students than teachers, so even if hn crowd has x5 number of teachers than students, you're still statistically correct

And even worse, because they don’t only hurt performance and usability, but they also report private information. Even is the data is sent anymously, the url itself may contain private information. For instance, Google themselves still allow sharing documents via a “private” link which is then stored on some monitoring service. And some of those services allow anyone access and search these urls for some premium plan.

I don’t believe the users are made aware of this kind of usage of their network. In fact, I’m pretty confident that most extension burry this purposefully In such small letters it’s impossible to understand. Which, for me, qualifies them as malware.

What you’re saying is that they are not indeed GDPR-friendly? That would make their claim a false one.

Understanding other’s feelings seems to be only part you’re focusing on, but it’s not enough to have empathy. The dictionaries you’ve linked to have each a list of skills and I don’t think each stands on its own. It’s a combinations of those. I’m sure AI already have, and cenrtainly will have it perfected in the future, an ability to “understand” feelings and emotions if I use the term “understanding” the way you do with sociopaths - the ability to analyze and act on. Certainly it can not be called empathetic.

You're blaming the victim. Yes, it's better to know git than not knowing it, but the developer was merely tossing around with the various options of the IDE. It shouldn't be that easy to make an operation with such disastrous results. It is the responsibility of the product designers to prevent this.

Auto-generated?

Well, that's how god was invented.

To me it seems that like with any contract, the money is his once he fulfilled his part of the deal (ad views/clicks). I agree that not payout out is not the same as stealing, but in this case it does seem awfully close since Facebook is acting as a middle man. If someone hires me to do a job for a 3rd party, gets paid for my work, but doesn't pass me my part - I'd call this stealing.

Was Firebase acquihired? I would think not. Without knowing the details of the amounts paid, the fact itself that Firebase is still around and Google seem to actually keep investing in it - tells me it was more than just an expensive hiring process.

I think taking a loan could be better in terms of risk management and growth rate. Let's say you have a business with a steady, growing revenue, currently with $50k MRR, $10k profit, and you want to invest $100k for expansion over the next year (hire another dev, marketing, whatever). You can do this from your own revenues, but then you're at zero profit, and every decrease in revenue puts you into loss. Not a good place to go to. On the other hand, you take the $100k loan, and now you're operating with a financial cushion, have enough time to recover from a decrease in revenues, and in case of a disaster someone else takes part of the risk. You could of course start putting $10k/month a side, and start expanding in a year, but you'll lose a year of growth.

A bit off topic, but if someone from Squarespace can comment - any plans to add an app market?

For me it got to a point where looking for domains became sort of a hobby, so naturally, I went to coding a tool to find available domains based on a keyword, and ended up building (with a help of a designer friend) an Android app for that [1]. Basically, you can start with a keyword, and the app offers several options of "naturally sounding" domains around that keyword. The name of the app (Nameble) was one of the results when I started with "name".

(edit) To address another comment on this thread, I promise we don't steal/monitor the names you're looking for :)

Hey Matt, I'm one of the founders. All existing APIs require using a secret key, which you obviously wouldn't want to share in your front-end code. We overcome this by allowing sending only predefined templates, so for a "Share with a friend" feature you'd create a template called "share", and your call would look like -

  EmailJS.send("share",{"to": "friend@gmail.com","message":"You have to check this out!"})

Let me know if you have any further questions!

Sounds like a great idea, and you built a great landing page, imho! But what is sib in sibbell.com? gitbell is available!

Interesting, thanks!

If one of the founders is reading - why not taking the money in the bank as dividend right before the fund raising (with full disclosure to the future investors, of course). You get a similar amount of money (although sharing it with the early investors), but all the money you're raising goes to the company, which I assume is a simpler model. Wouldn't that be simpler?

Best of luck with completing the round, and with future growth!

Microsoft is not a person, but it is an organization, and like every organization has a corporate culture. For me, it's absolutely like having a character, exactly like a person has. It certainly starts with the founders, but grows with the company through years of hiring decisions, personal example, and internal communication.

A company, as an organization, can be intelligent or stupid, creative or conservative; it can have social intelligence (Facebook), or it can never get it right with people, but be an excellent engineer (Google). So I don't see why we shouldn't treat an organization as being moral, or immoral, humane or inhumane. By these lines, it's certainly a valid question whether Microsoft is showing character, and high moral standards, or is it simply doing it for personal gain.

A step in the right direction in terms of user privacy, but sounds like something that will affect a lot of products.

Interesting. I wonder if some changes will need to take place in order to make sure the client side tracking services (e.g MixPanel, Kissmetrics, Google's own GA) ignore Google bot.

Wow, talk about customer service!

Well, actually I used to develop UI intensive MFC applications for quite some years, and absolutely loved it! Not that different from developing for Android, and as I remember it the Visual Studio was (may be still is? haven't used it for years) a far better development environment back then than the Android Studio is today. But may be I just remember being 10 years younger :) Disclaimer - I'm still a Windows user.

I tend to agree. I just signed up for uploadcare.com, haven't tried them out, but the design seems very nice, and the their free tier allows up to 1k uploads a month - forever (got a very prompt response from the founder).

As surapaneni rightfully commented - they do offer a free plan for personal use, which you'll be able to use.

I'm using them for some commercial projects just as a client side library to allow uploading files to my s3 account (although they do some work on their server side as well). It's a shame they're changing the terms for the existing user. I don't expect things to be free - unless they are offered as such, with no expiration date.
