That statement does not inspire confidence considering how ripe crypto is for hackers/scammers, if anything it makes me want to close my Coinbase account.

Clickbait title from Forbes, they are only shutting down Outlook Lite, not the full Outlook app.

Was this written by AI? It sounds like the writing style of an elementary school student. Almost entirely made of really simple sentence structures, and for whatever reason I find it really annoying to read.

Isn't the CEO of Anthropic, an unelected tech leader, constantly lobbying for AI regulation and is against open llm models?

New comment by itg in "Android's sideloading limits are its most anti-consumer move"

itg — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 16:13:33 +0000

Installing any app I want outside the Play Store was the primary reason I decided to go with Android, despite most of the people I know using iPhones. If I can't do this anymore, I may as well switch and be able to use iMessage and FaceTime with them.

itg — Tue, 23 Sep 2025 13:20:17 +0000

I don't see this taking off for experienced job interviewers. Who has the time to take off a week or two for every job they apply to?

New comment by itg in "I tried every todo app and ended up with a .txt file"

itg — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 14:37:08 +0000

Similar experience here, except I'm using the built in notes app on my phone and keep nothing more than a list. When I used various todo apps, I felt as if I was fighting against them.

The EB1 visa exists for these "top researchers", the H1B is being used to suppress wages by increasing labor supply for basic software engineering roles a fresh college grad can easily complete.

New comment by itg in "Google offering 'voluntary exit' for employees working on Pixel, Android"

itg — Thu, 30 Jan 2025 18:31:00 +0000

Sounds to me like it's going to be either take the "voluntary exit" with the severance, or if you don't then eventually get let go without one.

New comment by itg in "79 Percent of CEOs Say Remote Work Will Be Dead in 3 Years or Less"

itg — Tue, 01 Oct 2024 12:49:02 +0000

Why do they need to survey every CEO? As long as you have a large enough sample size that represents the larger group, you can get a really good idea of the general consensus. Looking at the KPMG report: "Our latest edition of the KPMG CEO Outlook analyzed insights from more than 1,300 CEOs at large companies globally, including 400 in the United States, to evaluate how they are continuing to navigate the challenge of compound volatility.", which is pretty good if we are considering large companies.

New comment by itg in "Ask HN: Did you regret staying at a job for too long?"

itg — Wed, 28 Aug 2024 13:31:06 +0000

Yes, promises of promotion that never happened despite taking on more and more responsibility and delivering. It was my first job out of school and in my naivety, I believed my results would speak for itself and office politics didn't matter. I probably stayed about 2 years too long until I finally started applying to other jobs out of frustration and got a substantial pay raise.

New comment by itg in "Ask HN: How to handle a senior hire turning out to be junior?"

itg — Sat, 08 Jun 2024 15:13:56 +0000

Assuming your side of the story is true, can you downlevel them to a more junior position and reduce their salary? If they won't accept that, then the only reasonable option is to let them go. Other developers will notice and become disgruntled having a incompetent co-worker making more than them.

Isn't a nebula a cloud of dust? I'm not sure how dense it gets, but would someone even notice if they were inside of the nebula?
