No way! I never imagined this could happen. I distinctly remember reading about this when they first came out years ago and thinking "goodness, I can't think of a single problem with computerizing the primary means of visually ide

It certainly is. I think what's bothering LastTrain, though—and is definitely bothering me—is the kneejerk dismissal of personal projects because they're not sufficiently innovative/useful/etc. As far as I can tell, it w

Sometime in order to build the "real projects", you have to learn by building toys.

Going by the other projects on the author's site, it looks like their primary goal is working on stuff that interests them, not reinventing operating systems that are older than a lot of the folks on this site. I realize this is HN, bu

Five minutes ago, I never knew your car dealership existed. Now I know it exists, and I associate it with some grubby, desperate idiot posting irrelevant garbage. That is a net loss for you. Please stop bothering us.

Considering this, it seems like mobile phones would be pretty useful decoys to get the Russians to waste ammunition that they're increasingly hard up for. Just set up a few remotely activated cellphones in an unoccupied area, have them

Hyatt was honestly the first name that came to my mind, and in fact I had to look him up to be certain that he didn't move to Google. I guess I assumed that if it was Hyatt, he'd no longer be at Apple, since it sounded like the pe

Hyatt never worked for Google—he's still at Apple as far as I know. Might be that Google ultimately retracted their offer, but knowing Steve, Hyatt would probably not have remained at Apple no matter what happened. I don't have an

I was a happy paying 1Password customer until they switched to a subscription model (and, when I contacted them, initially lied about it). At that point, I became a happy iCloud Keychain user and never looked back. Most of the essentials, n

Other way to keep your username but nuke all your content: - register a new account with a different username - change the username on your existing account to something else, thereby freeing up that username - rename your new account'

Have you at any point seen Elon provide anything close to a compelling vision for Twitter? I haven't. Other than trollish comments about free speech that he's since walked back, he's given no sign of having any coherent visio

I highly doubt a shady overseas consultancy is a viable replacement for things like infrastructure, engineering, UX and product design, etc. Maybe he can cut costs as far as moderators, but I don't believe it's possible to reduce

Full Self Writing, in this case. (I'm joking, but honestly it would be pretty funny if one of his eight-buck features involved Twitter writing your longform posts for you via GPT-3.)

I have a suspicion that about 10% of the people in any Elon Musk-related thread are Elon Musk.

Exactly what "A-players" do you think want to be a part of this shitshow? This isn't building electric cars or rockets, where the cutting-edge engineering work might make up for having to work with someone like Musk. Trying t

Aww, I remember the Fail Whale. I hope they still have it somewhere, would be a nice reminder of the old days to see it again.

Um...why is it demanding access to my camera the moment I get to the site?

Yeah, it's very weird how this person keeps posting obsessively about how glad Twitter employees are to see their colleagues fired. I'm not sure what the problem is here, but that kind of behavior does make me suspect they're

...an 8$/month social media expense is a matter that requires the president to decide? That's bizarre.

Oh, calm down. It has nothing to do with "conservatives". The same thing happened to me several times, and I hadn't even followed anybody. Their bot-detection is cranked up to 11, so it's hyper-attuned to anything that s
