The main problem is that there are no browser extensions for mobile browsers.

Market manipulation by SEC itself?! So strange.

Very nicely done. I like the simplicity of the page and interface.

Isn't https://go.readly.com/ the Spotify for news? Many magazines and newspapers are available.

>> Emails with multiple "From" fields in the headers
Do you think this is still possible?

Yes. See glossary of SIX Swiss Exchange: https://www.six-group.com/exchanges/knowhow/glossary_de.html...

>> Tools that make development 10x easier for the next generation of programmers.
Fully agree.
>> Examples: darklang.com, webflow.com, retool.com, modulz.com, divjoy.com
To me, those look still very much focused on the software engineer.
My preference is rather something like Oracle APEX or Atlassian Jira.
Jira already provides many generic features that are typically used in custom, corporate applications: - UI with forms, tables, sorting, filtering - queries - Workflow editor and workflow engine - notifications - csv file import / export - mobile client
romanixromanix | 7 years ago | on: Cybersecurity Tech Accord – Facebook, GitHub signed, Google didn't
"[Cybersecurity Tech Accord] signatories oppose efforts to [cyber] attack citizens and enterprises."
"No offense: We are committed to not knowingly undermining the security of the online environment, and to protecting against efforts to tamper with our products and services."
Signatories include ATLASSIAN (Jira) | CLOUDFLARE | FACEBOOK | GITHUB | GITLAB | LINKEDIN | MICROSOFT | ORACLE | HP | ....
I wonder why companies like Google, Amazon, Apple and Alibaba do not sign? Is it an indication that they are tampering and attacking?
romanixromanix | 8 years ago | on: It’s time to kill the web app
During the last 20 years I used to prefer web apps over native (C++, Java, C#) for banking and trading applications. (although most developers didn't like to fight browser incompatibilities).
2 years ago I changed my opinion. We've developed two different user interfaces for trading at the same time. One with HTML5, Typescript, Angular, WebSockets, and the other one with JavaFX. The developement of the JavaFX based application was way cheaper, faster, pleased users more (due to multi-window!) and had by an order of magnitude fewer glitches in the UI. (But the web application was prettier).

Excellent idea!

Agree.
And even more so when goods purchased with bitcoin have to pass customs.
romanixromanix | 11 years ago | on: A web-reading bot made millions on the options market
>>*Correction, April 21, 2015: This article originally
>>misstated that a purchase of options on March 27
>>immediately followed a tweet by journalist Dana Mattioli.
>>It occurred 19 seconds before the tweet and followed a
>>newswire post by one second.
So the title of the whole article is totally misleading. It has nothing to do with Tweets & Twitter.
Maybe the same bot (script) has done dozens other trades (false positives) at a loss before.
romanixromanix | 11 years ago | on: EFF’s Game Plan for Ending Global Mass Surveillance
Most people just don't care or gave up caring. It's too cumbersome to seriously protect privacy. If friends use Whatsapp and they have my address in their phone's address book, Facebook knows it. Same with photos. And as long as NSA has access to all Google and Facebook data, it's efficient for them.
Two interesting projects to mitigate this: Terms of Service; Didn't Read: https://tosdr.org/

According to this video on youtube it's mainly due to bitcoin inflation i.e. mining rewards.
romanixromanix | 11 years ago | on: Snowden could be granted asylum in Switzerland in order to testify against NSA
>> Switzerland now has grudges against the US for destroying their bank secrecy.
That's not the way Switerland's politicians think. Swiss politics is dominated by lawyers, farmers and other lobbyists.
