There seem to be some negative comments about this, but in my opinion this is exactly how this should work. Even better would to have one of these signs up before the enforced toll area begins , to remind drivers what they have their trans

This seems like a reasonable argument, but in this case we're talking about 101, which is not an interstate highway.

You could be right if they end up actually stocking those in all stores. I'm not sure whether that will be the case. One small counterpoint to that part of what you said is that the 27" iMac has apparently now been pulled from the

It doesn't matter whether you think it's reasonable. It makes no sense for Apple to try to do this. You're entirely right that it makes no sense to have multiple sets of Dolby Atmos sound systems and cams and mics. But that d

Those issues were all almost 20 years ago. If you think this is still a problem, you haven't used any recent Macs. The current MB Air and MB Pro both run very cool even under prolonged heavy loads. Apple's management of any and

I'm not sure the Thunderbolt Display is a useful anecdote, here. It's from 11 years ago.

Apple is not interested in releasing a cheap dumb commodity PC-compatible monitor and never will be. It just doesn't make sense for them. For a lot of reasons. Other companies can handle that market.

I remember when I visited the USSR in 1990 (it was still the USSR at that point, barely), it was around 8 rubles to the dollar, and the buying power of those 8 rubles was very large indeed. I think I took a total of $200 US on the trip, and

If you're a real Mac lover? Definitely. I used to use mine all the time as a very fancy vt100 terminal for an old Apollo server I had, and also to telnet to a BBS I was running in the late 90s. It's a great conversation piece, too

I still have my old SE/30. It's still working. Has the Ethernet card installed, so it's even marginally useful. I also picked up my old 512k "Fat" Mac from my aunt's house where I had it stored for 20 years. Po

Unclear to me why Reuters articles seem officially blessed on HN in the face of superior reporting from NYT or WaPo, etc. I guess the original reason for preferring Reuters or AP was, avoiding a paywall, but now of course, Reuters has a pay

You're right. I'm totally more fine with using these measures against Nazis, as opposed to, say, non-Nazis. Thanks for helping me to clarify that!

Ok, fine, perhaps we need to take Trudeau's measures more seriously, and the ramifications of his measures, but guess what else we need to take seriously? The current threat of Trump-inspired fascism worldwide. Of which the "prote

Except you can't do that, because these screens are made of soft plastic and are incredibly fragile and scratchable. So there went that idea.

This honestly just isn't that significant. Germany's navy, and indeed, German military forces generally, are not relevant to this crisis and will play basically zero part in it. So all of this analysis and blame-gaming you're

Putin has placed his bet on the flop, and Biden and NATO have now called it and re-raised. (This wasn't done by Germany in a vacuum.) Now we get to see if Putin will double down.

1) No, this is not what will happen 2) Russia is already flaky, expensive, and thieving.

Was this article machine-generated? That's how it reads. Full of typos and errors, as well. Still interesting, but wow, what a mess.

1) A normal restart doesn't have this issue, at all. 2) Why are you rebooting a laptop daily? My uptime on my MacBook Pro averages 30-60 days. There's zero reason to reboot any modern OS daily.

I'm not Canadian and the reason I asked for a better source is not at all irrelevant. Those who are not Canadian might want a higher-quality source to learn about the topic in question. It is, obviously completely irrelevant whether &q

Notorious? And the best source for this is a 52-year-old article from a student newspaper in the US, with no listed author or sourcing? The linked article also reveals that the separatists in question were kidnapping multiple people at the

Reuters is behind a paywall (if you are over their article limit due to being a news addict); could we get a non-paywalled link for this please?

"Jokingly"? The current issue aside, racists and xenophobes basically always attempt to evade responsibility by claiming they were "only joking". Such claims should be tossed in the trash bin where they belong. First, it
