Late to the party here but we (Sentry) have been using ECharts since 2018 (https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/pull/9072) and still holding strong!


I encountered this problem while trying to do Christmas shopping on Amazon. An example is this (parachute hammocks): https://smile.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias...

I don't know anything about them, I'm not familiar with manufacturers, but this search result brings up very similar items from "different" companies. What's even more suspicious is that there are MULTIPLE results that have 1-2 thousand reviews and are at a perfect 5*.



This looks really cool.


would `command W w` fix this?


1. That is another issue, the USPTO issuing patents that shouldn't be issued.

3. They don't seem to be against patents, just against non-practicing entities. Did you even read the article?


I hate patent trolls with a passion, but these non-practicing entities are are just another negative by-product of what has devolved to be a negative system. Patents originally existed to protect inventors. Today, like in other legal systems, they have very little to do with justice and a lot to do with "whoever has the gold makes the rules". As such, while I definitely side with CloudFlare, it does seem like a complaint of "not fair, they are manipulating the rotten system better than us"


It does more then substitution

My friends and I have used GroupMe (which is owned by Skype) for a few years now and some of us wanted to migrate due to privacy. We tried out Signal, but there were some major usability problems in you intend to use it as a "group chat" replacement. My biggest issue with it is that there is no mute feature for iOS. Yes you can turn off notifications at the iOS level, but I want the ability to only have @-mentions to have access to notifications.

I made us switch to WhatsApp instead as I think the usability/privacy balance was better (for our use case).


I recently switched from Android to iPhone and was pretty surprised by how much lower quality the Signal app is for iPhone than Android.

Signal for Android was really amazing, and the switch made me think this could be one reason why so many people seem to speak both highly and poorly of Signal. The iPhone app just unfortunately seems to be way behind the Android app.

Not sure why they have prioritized development in that way.


I think it's because moxie uses Android.


This is the correct answer. Moxie dominates signal-android commits. He doesn't work on the iOS version.

The programmer working on the iOS version left early this year. If you look it was pretty stagnant for awhile with him, only really getting bugfixes. Now they have a new maintainer that's been playing catchup and things really only started to get rolling in the past couple months.

See: https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-iOS/graphs/contribu...


Android owns close to 90% of the market.


We'll probably never know, most people that settle with patent trolls have confidentiality agreements


Surely that would be invalidated along with the claim? Can you sue to reclaim your money?


I don't think it's ruined football at all. The older fans certainly still have team allegiances, while fantasy helps new fans get interested in the NFL.

Yeah advertisements suck, but any television programming also face the same problems. The great thing with watching football is that you're already conditioned to not pay attention to the game for 30 seconds every 10 seconds.


- You can watch sports at home, on a TV, through your OTA antennae, costing you nothing

- When was the last time you learned something about yourself or others while watching an eSports event? Do they cause you to think at all?


Except for the games that are only carried on cable networks like ESPN, Fox Sports, NFL network etc. which you MUST watch if you are a true fan.

The hosts of many Twitch channels talk about their philosophies on life and interact directly with their fans to have meaningful discussions.


I have been using the August for a few months now and I have a hard time recommending it to people. Smart locks need to be reliable and if they aren't then you lose trust in your lock, and, well if you lose trust in your lock, what's the point of owning it.

* Auto-unlock is great when and if it works, and is the only reason to own the August. Unfortunately it's currently iOS only.

* Everlock is currently in "beta" (it's the feature that auto-locks your door after 30 seconds), but one night after my friends left the house, it didn't re-lock itself, so now we can't trust one of the few features of the lock anymore.

* Opening the door with your phone itself is a slow and painful process. It takes anywhere from 5-10 seconds for the phone to connect to the lock before you can control it (this doesn't include unlocking your phone, opening the app, and selecting which lock to connect to). It's absolutely unusable for day-to-day users. There's no point in using this when your keys work faster. However, I can say this is useful for people that do not live in the home, i.e. friends, cleaners, pet sitters, etc.

That said, I have an extra August coming in that I'm not sure what to do with. Christmas is coming up and I absolutely do not want to give it out as a present because it's just not ready.
