> The reliability has improved a bit, but the subway crime is also way, way up. Eh, it’s all relative, I think you’re in less danger of experiencing issues on the subway than you are getting hit on the road. I take the subway all the tim

IMO the subway reliability issues are overblown these days. In the 2010s it was in a really dark spot but it's doing a lot better these days. > In my mind, the subway is the most reliable mode of city transportation. Even with its p

173 stations, 85.05 miles, 6:53, 4 boroughs, $3.00 fare. In fairness a couple of my connections required knowledge of express vs local stops and I don’t think it’s fair to expect an out of towner to know that! My strategy was to avoid midto

The article literally says "it's not well-suited for production usage" so I don't really see the reason for the objection here. It's an experiment.

How would they establish those relationships with grocery stores, and get the peaches to them? Sure you could do it with a handful of local stores but the numbers we're talking about are a rounding error.

But compared to the US home charging via a mains outlet is much more viable because it's 240v vs 110v. If you plug you car overnight you'll typically have enough charge to last you the next day.

Certainly true but there’s a line between “better DX” and… well, kinda laziness

This isn't anything new and I feel the same way about Deno. We can argue about exactly how much trouble any runtime is in today vs yesterday vs tomorrow but VC funding of a javascript runtime feels inherently unstable to me. The key

I would mention Node as the main competitor. It isn't moving as vast as the VC-backed ecosystems are but its future is a lot more assured.

> No one says “I can’t live without Instagram” literally. That's a straw man argument. I never said they were. > There are even studies that show that it makes their users depressed. What percentage of the population do you think

It's frustrating to see this response so often, as if it weren't blindingly obvious. After years of near monopoly status these companies have a lock on many people's social lives. To give up Instagram is akin to giving up tex

A technicality without a meaningful difference. Users didn't consent to sending it, nor were they aware of it.

Does “the market” not mean meme stock investors in this instance though?

Chrome is an operating system for Google. It gives them a way into corporate environments that run Windows far more easily than getting those companies to convert to ChromeOS or something. So they keep adding features because they want user

Both impressive and surprising that thermals were the biggest barrier! Meanwhile I'm sat here wishing I could justify running any ethernet in my apartment, but improving wi-fi tech means I never can...

Again, you’re pointing out things that are obvious to those involved and I’m not sure why.

I feel like the author of an alternative protocol probably knows these things. I think the author mentions HTTP because many people use it where they could be using FastCGI and just don’t.

Competition won't keep prices below cost. Only subsidy by investors can do that and they won't do that forever.

No it isn't? The main feature is sending things peer to peer.

It is an alternative. It just doesn't fulfill all the needs Airdrop does. I've had situation where I want to share a photo or a text file and it'll work great in that scenario.

I think you're right but the lack of industry standard for this kind of thing kills it. People want to be able to take the output of whatever tool they use that exports SVG and put it in a browser. Which isn't an unfair request. B

I think a more accurate statement is that they don’t want to take on the outsized burden relative to the number of users it would actually affect. I’d love to dual boot Linux too but I’m under no delusions about being a very small segment o

I understand the frustration but also bikes take up a lot of space. When someone brings one on the NYC subway at rush hour it’s definitely an inconvenience.

IMO it’s a reasonable point to make when compared to something like the Framework. And it took legal action to get them to offer battery replacements for iPhones, I don’t think you can really claim they’re passionate about component reuse.
