Surely you can understand that the option that Tesla has quietly bribed every country in the world that its vehicles are bought at is not very likely.

Maybe I misunderstand what you mean, on one hand you say you want a window manager that's feature rich, on the other you say you're tired of using very flexible software with tons of configs. Aren't those two at odds with one

That is both diabolical and hilarious, it must be absolutely maddening. No wonder he quit.

This looks great, I hope you can include European capitals at some point. I've always wondered what the actual cost and layout would be in some of the cities I've lived in that don't have a subway.

I wonder how the terms of that work exactly in practice. For example I'm pretty sure Humble Bundle includes games that are on Steam every now and then, with a pretty solid discount if you consider what you get for your money.

Many people recommend Ugreen, but looking at their entry-level 2-bay NAS it's nearly a hundred bucks more expensive than a 2-bay one from Synology. Sure, it has higher specs and whatnot, but that overlooks the fact that I don't ca

A little empathy can go a long way. Perhaps your sister simply has different taste in reading than you do? For example, I opened the article and closed it pretty much right away because it has all the hallmarks of a clickbait nothing burger

That's all nice and dandy, but what about sending data the other way, from a phone to a desktop? Meticulously typing in long strings of text with no mistakes is not really a practical solution for the vast majority of users.

As a biker, I hate these types of riders with a passion. All street legal bikes come out of the factory with reasonable sound levels, they have to go out of their way to specifically make it uncomfortable for everyone else. Pretty much ever

Making something illegal and actually enforcing it are two very different things though. Most countries in the world have a cap on noise levels your vehicle can make, most don't do much to enforce it outside of yearly checkups.

Otherwise I would be inclined to agree with you, but in this specific case I'm torn. These apps (ab)used a private API and the OS update meant they suddenly used it incorrectly. That's not something that's really the OS fault

People take photos of artworks at galleries all the time, so I'm not sure this analogy works.

This is something I've heard from multiple locals, not something I inferred myself. As you can see, even here in the comment section you have people both for and against the idea. The notion definitely exists, how widely it's held

Some context might be useful here. I spent some time living Sweden not too long ago and Swedes practically don't use cash. It's usually not said out loud, but cash is often considered to be dirty and criminal, to the point that mo

Another way to look at it would be that if all the big players stop buying up all the GPUs, prices will come back down for regular consumers, making it available for everyone else.

Would've thought trying to block right-clicking on pictures died in the 90s, yet here we are. Trying to stop someone on the internet from saving pictures you've explicitly served them on your website isn't the silliest thing

I can't help but feel that these criticisms, like many others of the book, are mostly down to cultural misunderstanding. The writing style of the book is deeply Japanese and that's off-putting for many, myself included. But for so

No kidding, I read your comment first and then wondered how bad could it be. Turns out the whole comment is nearly that one sentence. Sentences are like functions, sometimes you need a really long one, but oftentimes they work better in rea

Unfortunately the app comes with its own limitations and weird edge cases, many of which are pretty unintuitive. It would be much nicer to simply use the native experience and disable animations.

Yes, you still gotta put in the hours even if you do steroids, but calling it talent is like saying someone is a talented cyclist when they're riding an e-bike against a regular bike.

This isn't talent, it's just steroids. It's almost funny how someone can look at that picture and not think of that.

I don't really see what you mean, if you use the HN search Algolia provides, you can see people talking about it from different angles pretty much every day.

Probably because this thread is only remotely related to that? There's been countless discussions on the topic, doesn't mean every thread has to be about that.

Call centers these days are staffed at the bare minimum as is, adding an AI bot in front of that doesn't really change that fact. At least for me, it's now a regular occurrence that I'll slot a quarter to half an hour of hold

This type of thinking should've died with the contemporaries of Darwin who didn't believe in evolution. We live on a planet full of complex, intelligent life, we're far from the only ones giving things meaning. Animals have s
