Are they also as bad at reading as you?


You can pay $40 up front for a "lifetime" license to one-sec. Clearspace's pricing seems egregious in comparison.


It sounds like you were fired, not laid off.


> This work carries no guarantees only to the best of my ability in 2 hours using notepad2 & AstroGrep. I am not a developer and do not intend to spend much time keeping this extension updated.


Yes, a feature that results in the user details of millions of innocent users getting harvested. Remind us your contact details again, so we can forward them to the FBI?


I would much rather live in a world where people are aware of that possible problem than a world where paid extensions were the norm.

e: If there were paid extensions there would be pirated extensions and this problem would be even more common imo :)


You can enable developer mode on release Chrome (or Edge Chromium, which is what I recommend) and use any extension you wish directly by loading the unpacked source directory.


That results in a big giant warning you have to dismiss every time when you start the chrome. Although that isn't avaiable on release channel branded firefox anyway.


Except that doesn't apply when the "article" is all of 5 sentences.


You're not wrong. We don't know that the commenter has read that Lattner wrote he'll continue to be involved and wondered if he will in fact continue to be involved once Swift no longer becomes his main activity. Whether we like or not, it will have a smaller mind share than it did when it was his main priority and his job revolved around it.


Is Telegram not secure?


At a minimum, they've made a number of choices which go against (fairly widely considered) good cryptographic principles.

This in itself wouldn't even be that bad if they weren't then trying pretty hard to convince the general public that it's super secure with massively flawed stunts as explained here: https://moxie.org/blog/telegram-crypto-challenge/


No, it's not.


not entirely true... its authentication can be subverted allowing impersonation.

but its a lot more secure than some....


I believe it's for the Preview version only. Afterwards you can opt out.


...The iPhone 6 is 4.7" and has the best processor on the market.


4.7" is the screen diagonal. The total height, including the top and bottom border is listed as 5.44". This is according to Apple. http://www.apple.com/iphone-6/specs/


This seems unlikely, as cell phones are generally rectangular and have flat screens.

EDIT: maybe you could try drawing a screen with a 5.44" height and 4.7" diagonal. Euclid will not be your friend.


I think you and the parent are confusing the display size with phone size. The phone height is >5 inches. The display is 4.7 inches diagonally. The device size diagonally will be more than device height.

1.5" of "wasted" space? That surprises me.


There's this thing called the home button...


On most android phones that thing is part of the display that contextually hides itself, and doesn't take up extra physical space


"Most"? I've not had a single Android phone where the buttons have been part of the display. A few tablets, but no phones. I'm sure there are plenty of phones that do that too, but I've somehow managed to avoid them for the 6-7 or so Android phones I've owned.


Pretty much every Android phone released in the last 2 years besides those made by Samsung (which is admittedly a large percentage) have had on screen keys.


I've had three Android phones of different brands released in the last two years, and none of them had on screen keys. Nor did any of the other ones I considered.
