While true, that doesn't really factor into this given that that market is so small that they don't lose anything by banning things that aren't compatible with their values.

So no, they most definitely can have their cake and eat it, and have done so for over two decades.

Emirates is one of the world’s largest airlines, and in many parts of the world Dubai offers the best and most frequent air connections between various cities. So while UAE itself may be a small market, it’s quite a major transit route.

They also turn a blind eye to plenty of other things that go against conservative islamic values: alcohol is served onboard, gay flight attendants are employed, etc. So it’s surprising to me that they aren’t a bit more tolerant here.

> P.S: Some folks here have speculated that this should be a 1 minute fix. Unfortunately that is not the case. :(

Nonsense! It is a 1 minute fix. You just don't want to take a $ hit from inconveniencing users by breaking another part of your app.

Pull your thumb out and do the right thing. Implement the 1 minute fix, and then spend the rest of the week or month fixing the other parts of your app that might break as a result of fixing this.

Except it is.

If you can't easily architect around it, then don't do what you're trying to do.

"Oh I needed to disclose user data in order to make more money" isn't an acceptable excuse.

No one's talking about excuses.

Looks like everyone does talk about excuses though.

> Oh I needed to disclose user data in order to make more money

hmm maybe they should've paywalled?

> Why’s it almost always south asians

It isn't. It's very rarely south asians.

They couldn't buy pardons in the 90's like they can in 2026. Nobody is going to prison.

What if my mustard is made without stones. Will it still work?

> What if my mustard is made without stones. Will it still work?

It depends on your risk tolerance to try I suppose. It will either be a delicious variant or create a space-time singularity dooming us all...

:-D

Nah yeah Photoshop .PSD's were totally normal for website designs. I got extremely proficient at building functioning websites based on PSD files, going back as far as the days of using nested <table> structures with 1x1 transparent spacer.gif images :) I built hundreds of websites from .PSD files, and Fireworks was pretty much non-existent in my experience.

Yeah +1, at the start of my career (mid 2000s) all the web designs were done in Photoshop. I think this was true until 2010/11 at least, when I first encountered Axure being used for some design stuff. I’ve never used Fireworks and never saw it in the wild (UK, in case it was a regional thing)

Those days aren’t over. HN uses nested tables with 1x1 transparent spacer.gif images.

I like that HN’s design is timeless. It’s a shame people usually ignore it, or are critical of it.

The text is barely legible, and you can hardly ever click on the actual target you want (e.g. upvote vs downvote).

It's timeless in that it was never good to begin with, it is just actively malicious now for anyone using it from a touch interface.

> It's timeless in that it was never good to begin with

True but it shows that good design doesn't matter.

Also: Craigslist, Reddit, LinkedIn...the list goes on.

I was in web agencies since like 2002-2015, always got PSDs from either clients or internal designers

100%. I was always told to slice the PSD, fireworks never entered the conversation in the agency world I was a part of.

Sure, and also Illustrator sometimes, and Photoshop at other times. Some of the designers I know (very famous for their ui/web work) never touched vector components and just had a ton of layers in Photoshop and air/paintbrushed everything. Hence the meme...

I've even received designs in PowerPoint

Everyone used whatever they were familiar with regardless of the purpose of the application.

Many designers stuck with Photoshop sadly. Back when I did agency work it was absolutely normal to get PSDs of mockups.

I've seen the front end devs get PSD files as recently as 2021.

I think his point was made regardless of his mistake

I wouldn't even classify it as a mistake, just a difference in experience regardless of what Adobe's intentions were.

As someone who has done front-end development for both web and mobile devices for a very long time in the pre-Figma days I was handed a lot more designs that were mocked up in Photoshop than Fireworks.

> Cloudflare does that for domain renewals

That's just standard. Every domain registrar/vendor does this.

I want to see who is in a location. I get a plant to call 911, which triggers Flock drones in the general area and scans the faces of everyone it can find. I get that info from Flock.

There are always security concerns and exploits. Some crazy gamers call 911 swat attacks on people; that doesn't mean that the police shouldn't have guns, or that 911 should be turned off.

Yes, the drones should be secure. Yes there should be measures to make sure that they're not abused. But none of that takes away from anything i've said, which is ONLY to point out the situations where they could be useful. And people seem to be having a very negative visceral reaction to even considering the possibility.

Also, i'm not recommending or supporting Flock, just the concept of drone use in general.
