"never hand your phone over the counter" - do people actually hand over their phones to random strangers? I'd never do that unless I really know the person

I live in Romania. 90% of the buildings sport this brutalist look, not to mention there are rows after rows having the same design. You get bored and depressed very quickly if you live in such environment. I'm always amazed at the diversity of the facades when I visit other european cities.

chitza | 4 years ago | on: Some discouraging anecdotes on how services handle account deletions

At the company I work for we actually hard-delete all user/tenant data, when requested. The column you mention is used for soft-deletion, which is a transient state. Even when not explicitly requested by the customer, we still hard-delete soft-deleted data that has been stale for at least X months (6?). So yeah, some companies really delete customer data, by request or by policy.

You have a very submissive attitude. Do you do the same when a thug threatens your family? Or when bullies at school ask for your lunch? You just give it to them? Sorry, but your comment is pathetic.

so that tweet was right, eh? at the time of this writing, I'm seeing: California 274 Canada 137 Germany 127 UK 116 New York 110 Washington 104 ...

So yeah, "Silicon Valley".

chitza | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Why do companies issue crappy machines to developers?

Not all companies, maybe some. I've never worked for such a company, I've always been provided with decent/powerful desktops and laptops as extra (for meetings). Last two jobs I got powerful machines (Xeon/9900KF, 32/64GB RAM, SSD + HDD, 2 monitors, etc.)

chitza | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Video On or Off?

Always ON. Off only for large meetings where I'm only listening.

I too am disappointed at the amount of "off" responses.

I've used the term just to describe the UI in one word to the HN community. I haven't use the term in the app itself or any official description (landing page, App Store, etc.).

I've looked into it and at the moment I'm still in doubt about localizing in cyrillic/arabic/chinese/japanese. If I do it, it will have to be a complete implementation, along with T9 filtering, wich frankly scares me because of the vast amount of information I'll have to digest to make it work properly.
