My Apple ID is a personal email address at a custom domain name. I also use the same email address as a Microsoft ID. How would/should/could a service be expected to take my email and determine what services it is associated with?

I use Duet for my iPad to get a 2nd screen for my laptop. It’s not perfect but it works. If I used a Mac I’d be excited to try the new “sidecar” second screen function Apple just unveiled. But of course it doesn’t work with a PC. Anyway thi

Indeed, I enjoyed that trilogy a lot more than I had expected I would. Oddly, the thing I think about most nowadays is I think in the second or third book, their methods for facial detection evasion with the face paint. Also relevant nowada

From the author’s blog post, which goes into more technical details: “While there’s nothing I could do about this from the iOS device itself, as it turns out the same underlying iTunes (WiFi) sync infrastructure I’m using allows you to also

I too have had this experience. Now I always sample one from a pack before I buy. I used to feel guilty doing that, but the quality varies so much and I got sick of wasting fruit purchases when they turn out to be sour or gross. Same with g

I’ve had to use AMEX travel several times to book flights for business reasons, and it’s always substantially more expensive than I could get if I booked it myself. Even with 25% off I’m still not certain it’s a good deal. Edit: just realiz

But let’s say you want something that tracks your app usage, before Apple had built that into the operating system. There’s no good APIs to do that, certainly for privacy reasons because many app developers are sleazy, but having it not be

I used to love LaLa. I was so annoyed when Apple killed it. Google Music eventually replaced it for me, but LaLa was truly ahead of its time

Most of the airplane seat-back media centers I’ve used seem to be running Android. Although I was just on an Air China flight that appeared to be using either Windows CE or QNX or something non-standard.

I’ve been building apps for Windows for over a decade (we used to call them programs or software) and this isn’t exactly a problem there. The problem is strong centralized App Store control, not native app development.

I think he uses the term creatively, it’s not a standard term I’ve seen elsewhere. Having spent a decent amount of time in both mainland China and Hong Kong, and living in San Francisco and previously elsewhere in the USA, I can definitely

I feel like what you and the other replies are saying is WeWork is super trendy and hip whereas Regus feels old-fashioned and stuffy. This feels surprisingly superficial to me. 1. The old fashioned office feel at Regus is not necessarily a

One thing I never see mentioned in any analysis of WeWork is Regus, which does more or less the same thing but with less fanfare. They’ve been running coworking spaces and short term office rentals around the world for a long time. Do the t

Even Apple doesn’t care about the iPhone SE anymore. I installed the iOS 13 beta on my iPhone SE and in several places the built in apps or parts of the operating system don’t properly fit on the screen. It’s a shame

“Class Counsel will ask the Court to award them attorneys’ fees of up to $77,500,000 and reimbursement for costs and expenses up to $3,000,000 to be paid from the Consumer Restitution Fund.” The lawyers are the real winner here.

I feel like the San Francisco ice cream museum is like that. It’s ostensibly a museum about ice cream, but it’s basically just a whole bunch of really weirdly designed rooms that people take selfies in and post all over Instagram, Tinder, F

This post is from 2002. Was just a proposal that never took off? Is this something that was implemented and in active use? Trying to figure out if this is valuable information about how the Internet works or if it’s a curiosity/novelty

For what it’s worth I feel like the parent comment was fairly substantive, and in my experience having lived in both Hong Kong and China it’s a fairly levelheaded analysis of the current situation. I know hacker news is not really a place f

Any chance you’re on Lamma Island? That’s where I used to live and I loved it for the exact reasons you described. I miss HK, hope that if I ever have a chance to move back in the future it won’t be torn to shreds by the China integration.

Exactly. But why a blog platform or news site or other content-focused website would feel the need to do that is beyond me. Not everything on the internet needs to be an app.

Amazon, Apple, Google, and Microsoft all offer paid rentals of nearly anything, on a per movie, episode, or season basis. So what you are asking for definitely exists. It’s just priced disproportionately high compared to the streaming packa

When I visited Cairo, I went to see the pyramids with a local who had lived in Cairo her entire life but had never been to the pyramids. And now I live in San Francisco's North beach right near Pier 39, I'm surrounded by tourists.

I still occasionally get 2G signal. Mostly EDGE when I am in suburban GA, and occasionally GPRS. I’m on T-Mobile. It would be awesome if I instead got 3G or 4G signal, but I’m worried if 2G is shut off I’ll be left with no signal at all.

Uber/Lyft, whatsapp, cashless payment apps all work reasonably on 2G and fine on 3G. Real time video calling works great for me over 4G/LTE, in the US, China, Argentina, everywhere I’ve tried it. I’m all for faster/better mob
