If you have ten axes to grind about stuff Apple did years ago to build its manufacturing capacity, that's cool and all, but it has zero place in this thread.

No part of this is even close to the target. The assertion that a temporary delay in student loan repayments during a pandemic is causing inflation is particularly hilarious, but the unionization complaint is perhaps even more hilarious. Th

Which "horrific" economic and fiscal policies, specifically, do you assert are responsible for the current inflation? Please cite specifics, with sources. As an aside, your assertion about covid is utterly ludicrous.

This comment is completely slanted and unjustified. Accurately characterizing this inflation as being partly the result of disruption in the oil markets caused by the war in Ukraine is emphatically not the same as taking political "adv

Even better to post a reference on a basic economic issue that is not coming from basically the most biased perspective possible.

I can think of a route towards Wesman's stated goal: if you fire most of the worthless middle managers, and let the real workers work from home, then a majority of the workforce will be satisfied.

Much as I agree with the complete spin-doctor rewriting of this headline, we don't really do that on HN, do we?

It's not "bizarre" that computing resources cost money and are finite. Nor is "pay-to-experiment" accurate. Nor is "exclusive club" really fair, or in good faith. It's a beta that they are running wit

Key word: "seems". Any evaluation vs. historical crime levels (especially violent crime levels) will reveal that this is little more than a blip. Yes, the Tenderloin is a complete mess. Yes, it's true that the DA is experimen

100% due to the crappy hubs. I have a gigabit connection and have been using the CalDigit TS3+ since it came out. Zero issues, zero problems with it stepping down to 100 Mbps or anything else. I have GigE plugged in, two monitors, two large

Sure. The US pays far more than other first-world countries for health care and gets much worse health outcomes out of it. This is very well documented. https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/fund-reports/2.

But they'd pay a lot, lot less in a more efficient system that wasn't ruthlessly optimized in about 20 ways for max profit and nothing else.

I think you are the one who missed the point. Do you honestly think that someone riding drunk and high and on the sidewalk (count them, three violations of the law at once) should be insured by Bird if they fuck up and have an accident? Com

Nope! It's the TV that is allowing the practice to begin with. I don't care who's controlling which ads they are. Allowing ANY ads of this nature is 100% evil. This just isn't even up for debate, so I am surprised you&#x

This isn't even primarily a privacy issue. It's a TAKE YOUR GODDAMN ADS OFF MY LIVE PROGRAM issue.

Pretty disappointing to see an entire article like this go by without a single mention of classical music. Also known as basically all music prior to 1940 plus a lot of the most enduring music since.

Apple TV doesn't. Never has. Likely never will. Apple has no incentive to indulge in that kind of behavior.

If the retailer is the only available target, they're a fair target. Make it clear that these products will cost them money if they try to sell them, and they'll stop selling them.

They're referring to these ads as "features that benefit viewers"? Oh hell no. I will never, ever, ever buy any product from any company who does this kind of bullshit. Are you listening, Vizio? I mean forever. I'd rathe

A post about an editor should not uncapitalize her last name. Just not respectful. ;)

You left out the vital third part of that, which is "not for you in your particular set of applicable privileges and life circumstances".

Hilarious, and also such a fun tour of the quirks of this old car.

Deceptive is right. I filed using TurboTax today. Federal return plus two state returns. Their "free" service ended up costing me around $180 even though I suspect my return is much simpler than most.

Trump didn't "trigger any new war"? You might want to review who got impeached (and was guilty) for intentionally weakening Ukraine and propping up Russian interests.

The difference is that Powell wasn't intentionally lying, of course. Easy to gloss over that. But it does matter.

In fairness, when you say "no Saudi company"...there ARE no companies in Saudi Arabia which we could sanction. Not really. There's the oil business, which basically is the same thing as the regime itself. Saudi Arabia doesn&#
