From your own source: UK's informal employment rate? 6.5%, not 24%. Ireland? 1.8%. Germany: 2.5%. Norway: 2%. Many EU countries have strong labor protections alongside low informality and high employment. While labor protections pose c

If continental Europeans want to visit another distant European country, that's a rare use case? Or are you only referring to e.g. US tourists visiting Europe?

Just tried comparing pictures of two trees (inc leaf closeups) between PictureThis and native Photos app. PictureThis got it right, was consistent re species when comparing closeups to wide tree shot, and gave lots of extra info. Photos app

You're carrying a lot of anger, making reductionist and polarizing arguments that sound like Mac vs PC platform wars from the 90s. I hope you find a more balanced approach to dealing with the world around you.

I'd suggest re-doing the YouTube video so it's legible/understandable when viewing on mobile. Full desktop UI demos don't really work on mobile; need to zoom and highlight etc.

Perhaps he shouldn't have used the word 'never' (never say never again), but you've unfairly represented the article. The Parthenon-and-golden-ratio image is not used as a reference; it is related reading. And if you vi

Perhaps have it not scroll down as it generates the text? Invariably I have to scroll back to the top to start reading. You could have a mini-hud (growing line, with a small rectangle at the top showing the first page of text) which would l

But their customers would quickly spot that. In fact, other companies now get close to / match apple's packaging attention to detail, but the rest of the customer experience itself rarely matches that first impression. So the box

I'd argue that most web users have a higher tolerance for ads than HN users, so they put up with the scrolling. And if it results in a tasty recipe, then they'll do it next time too, since that's seemingly the (tolerable) pri

AI has provided the IDF with a huge list of potential enemy combatants. Then the IDF applies their own thinking re acceptability of related civilian casualties, far higher than "the norm" (ugh). Together, mass slaughter made easy.

If you mean, "I didn't get the joke because I'm not familiar with the cultural reference", fair enough. If you mean, "it's Monty python, therefore not funny", you must be fun at parties. Now go away before

I can do anecdata too. Photoshop added content-aware fill, and then generative fill. These have been useful additions for me, saving time that was previously tedious stamp-tool work.

Or perhaps the argument is more complicated than the OP suggests. Perhaps you and they should watch the Kurzgesagt video made in conjunction with Our World in Data (linked on OP's linked page): https://youtu.be/ipVxxxq

Unless things have changed, yes but no. You have to leave the app running, and turn off display sleep/lock so the phone is always awake. Which practically means it has to be plugged in. It's a major pain. As someone else commented

Have it running on your personal comp, monitoring a screen-share from your work comp. (But that would probably breach your employment contract re saving work on personal machines.)

The manufacturer lost the bidding process, so quite reasonably (if you look at it in a limited fashion) said "Fine, let SLS do the work, you're on your own". Arsehole-ish, but not illegal. All the hidden lockouts on the other
