I didn't ask why they didn't "think" about it a couple years early. I asked why they would make it a priority 10 years out.

Eyeglasses are relevant because you're talking about "wearable" devices that are worn in a place where most of us are already wearing something. The fact that this isn't obvious helps explain all your other blind spots o

Yet another article where Apple gets recklessly tossed in and combined with the real bad actors in this field, even though the article then fails to cite even a single breach or privacy issue or anti-privacy stance taken by Apple. Worse, th

One of the many glories of The Mandalorian is Herzog's role. And if you haven't seen Fitzcarraldo, put down your computing device and go watch that movie instead.

64% of US adults wear eyeglasses. Heat exists. We're already basically at the limits of physics for making CPUs faster and heat dissipation is a huge issue even for products that you don't have pressed against your face and eyes a

Your math isn't very good. Maybe at least make sure you are within an order of magnitude, next time, especially when it's so very Googlable. You're saying 20 schools have experienced shootings, total, ever? Nope. There have b

If it helps, it's really ok; the German title is "An die Freude". This was the title of Schiller's poem, and it's also the title of the final choral movement of Beethoven 9. So the usage is correct. It's right

Because it got X votes in X amount of time. Like every other post here. Why should it not be on the front page?

Regulations have not "increased across the board". Obviously. We had an assault weapons ban in the US, for a while, under Clinton. It worked. We should still have it. The solution is to ban assault weapons, outright, and then inst

Please spend 15 seconds looking up what "the left" is actually arguing for before speaking in public about it. Because you appear to not have any idea. Hint: it's what 92-96% of the US public consistently agrees with. Backgro

You haven't even spent 15 seconds looking up basic facts about religion, have you? It shows.

No. The vast majority will NOT find another way. There's a reason 99.8% of this stuff is done with guns. AR-15s, to be specific, or something very similar. It's because that's what is easy. These people aren't geniuses.

Who said anything about replacing devices annually? Could we at least argue honestly and in good faith? iPhones and iPads are very easily good for, at a minimum, three to four years of very heavy use before any battery replacement would be

How precisely is it away from the eyes of governments? We've seen ample reporting in recent days about just how easy it is to trace crypto assets.

The best rebuttal to this is the following quote from the article in question, which shows that not only is Tether NOT fully backed by cash, a lot of their supposed collateral sounds quite shady and they are also not letting anyone else aud

This is all very fascinating as a minor theoretical discussion, I'm sure, but we all know that WWII was actually won by Wolverine and Captain America. ;)

This may be the gripe of your particular highly-skilled niche of the right-to-repair movement, but wide swaths of said movement are agitating for products to be wholly redesigned in the ways they prefer, to aid in much easier repairs. Never

Lol. Yeah, right. "Any" trained industrial designer? Why has fucking nobody ever built this fantasy product, then? Because NOBODY has. We've had to listen to 15 years of this whining and NOBODY to date seems to be able to do

There is absolutely no evidence about Apple's "intentions" or "efforts" here, despite constant hectoring and bad-faith, zero-evidence arguments from people like you. "Unnecessarily" difficult? Whatever. Wh

As someone who just owned a manual Mini Cooper for about 18 years, I recommend that. The manual combined with the way the Mini is designed, with the wheels pushed way out to the corners, firm suspension and incredibly responsive steering, i

I've had about 20 years of experience with getting service at Apple Stores, both for myself and for clients, and I think your criticism is unfounded, vague, and frankly sounds made-up rather than being a serious evaluation. Apple consi

You won't get one, unfortunately, both because there's no motivation for Apple to make it, and because battery life would be an insurmountable issue, at least with current tech. The battery life in the Mini is already significantl

Saying that HN readers (who are quite diverse, btw) "know nothing about how the world works" or "don't understand" things in this context is just lazy thinking. We understand just fine. It's not difficult to co

DAC is still there. Current iPhones can still use wired headphones, via the Lightning/headphone jack adapter. That adapter was included free in the box for a while. Now it's $9 or something.

FaceID can be disabled. Reliably. Not sure I see what the issue is here. You can also quickly, discreetly, and temporarily disable it, for instance if you are stopped by police. So this just isn't a real issue.
