Also iOS still has a community of iOS only indie devs that publish polished apps for iOS, it's very common to find very popular iOS app with very curated UX that are exclusive to that platform and have a good fanbase.

That's the execution part of creating a successful business and it's still entirely missing.

This might not be entirely true. People were able to fetch urls and data from the internet that couldn't possibly be in any training dataset (in eg posted the same day for the first time).

The fallacy of your argument is that it somehow implies some coordinated attempt by some kind of obscure force that is conspiring to control society. That's no different than other conspiracy theories.

a) OP is stuck in a cycle where he's inquiries are managed by bots and no human is actually verifying the claims.

b) OP breached the terms in a serious way and UpWork is not being transparent as of why they are deleting his account.

UpWork offers a lot of services for both freelancers and clients (escrow, payment protection, guarantees, etc), that's why they handle the money and keep them on platform until the job are completed. Freelancers know that they will get paid if they get the job done, while clients know that they money are safe if the freelance doesn't deliver. It's a trusted middleman. I don't see how bitcoin can solve any of these issues.

I usually spend around 20hr on the test task they give me. On top of this there are at least 3/4 rounds of interview (spanning from half an hour to two hours).

I tend to make sure that the job actually exists though and I'm wary of small companies. I'm particularly avoiding the ones where I would be the only developer working on my domain/stack.

Here in EU eggs have printed on them the date they were laid, I never seen eggs in a supermarket more than a few days older.

> Have some humility with your cheap box dye, ugh

> When I see this kind of attitude I know that this person is burned out and needs to find something new to do.

> So, no offense, but get the fuck over yourself or find a new job.

> Yeah, when you start to describe your daily work with words like "burden", you're usually not in a good mental state.

> The Twitter OP sounds like someone that’s a bit full of themselves and struggles to see other perspectives—-a core skill to be a broadly respected leader.

> Toxic attitude. I hope to hell to not work with someone like that.

These are either attacks or judgements of her character, based on a single statement (or opinion if they actually went to read the entire thread).

One thing is to say "you are wrong" and another is to say "you are wrong and burned out/mentally unstable/full of yourself/unable to be a leader/toxic".

Again, I would be very curious if I would find these kind of remarks in a parallel universe where this thread was not posted by a woman with dyed hairs. Bias is a real thing and the fact that she's actually wrong in this instance doesn't make bias justified or less problematic.

Can't the maintainers do a fork, continue their work with a new name and then maybe start a foundation or something to attract money and support it? Fastlane is a very mission critical piece of software for many companies, I'm sure some of them would support it if it's an indie project and not a Google property.

Edit: there's actually a recent discussion about this and the idea of moving it to the Mobile Native Foundation. https://github.com/MobileNativeFoundation/discussions/discus...

The vast majority of people get their news from some kind of feed. Be it Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, whatever. Scrolling a feed is what gets news to most people. I can see the purpose of making an app that does just that, instead of having to also live with 3000 social features i don't care about (and all the noise and pointless posts they bring to the feed).

I also don't agree on the chronologically ordered list of things i choose to follow. I tried to do that and as soon as you put any kind of news outlet it's going to flood your feed of things you don't care about. I want to follow TechCrunch, Ars Technica or The Verge, but you can be sure that I don't want to see every article they post. I just want to have them on my radar for that more noteworthy stories. And I also want to discover new things, trending articles or topic that might have nothing to do with what i specifically follow.

That's why i also go on HN or reddit for news, because there's some kind of user curation where only the interesting articles ends up on my feed. I get to disover things that i don't already know and follow, plus i get curated news selection that should filter the noise while letting me know what's the hot topic of the week. But if the articles are selected by upvotes, then we have echo-chambers and both this site, reddit or any other social media are prime examples of this. You really get only a narrow and often biased slice. An app whose sole purpose is to give you news and articles you find interesting might have an incentive to do so without trapping you in a filter bubble. Or maybe not, only time will tell.
