I'm surprised not to see more people use my setup, mouse in primary hand, Magic Trackpad along the opposite side of the keyboard for the other. It's mostly to enable gestures and padding / swiping in macOS, but its also prett

This isn’t how boring big corp works - teams is free and slack isn’t. This is because MS office licenses are 100% necessary / paid for already, and SSO is mandatory. I know a big 4 accounting firm I worked at switched exactly along the

I’m surprised at the skepticism here on HN. Was everyone this skeptical / glib when the (insert technology) was useless when it was invented? Anyone seen the efficiency of a solar panel in 1970? Factory farming is a real problem to so

Have you tried recently? I was one of these people in high school but now in my 30s, stuff that seemed impossible no longer does. Maybe me or the context is different.

Well it’s the number 1 cause of death for children, I would be worried about the thing statistically most likely to kill me, but YMMV. Conversely, venomous creatures have killed approximately zero people in a hundred years.

This is basically how it has always been in Australia. Someone’s freedom to protest is not more important than someone else’s freedom to use that same space to get to work, live their life, etc. Protests have always needed to be booked in a

> I think Musk’s product vision is noble and clear: to make Twitter as neutral and transparent a speech platform as possible. No soft censoring, algorithmic manipulation, etc. You should look up (or speak to ex twitter employees) about h

Yeah I laughed at this. Whether or not you like the business model, Quest and AI are in Burlingame and is obviously very hard groundbreaking work.

I do like the approach and when it works great thats fantastic - please be careful of this as an attack vector. I know of at least one bank where this was exploited, because people see the base url, assume safe, and can't read the embe

It’s “unprofitable” losing a few hundred million with a billion a year in r&d. call me naive but not that much changes on Twitter there’s not research to leave on the table. The kind of thing you can turn around with 20% (deep but norma

Yeah this kind of thing is very interesting, it does look like safari supports it.

Exactly the kind of thing I was looking for, thanks

Thanks good suggestions. I think both your last options would work. Either one could be passed through automatically with a deep link from their website (either the search engine base url or your special url in the last point)

I’m more interested in my actual question. If there is some sort of interoperable API or something, not engaging with hostile glib one liners.

So how would you code this feature so it works with any search engine off the bat and how would the team know this might be a priority to develop next if you haven’t filed a radar?

Honestly 12 months is too short a time period to be looking at companies like Apple, which is larger than the whole ASX or FTSE100. It’s even with 2 years, it’s up 4x on 5 years ago.

“Never not been a problem” it was a double negative I think you are agreeing.

Can you point to an actual error in the design of the study (please reference away, I want to know study flaws) and not just attack the scientist?

Economic expansion is felt a lot worse in the opposite direction though. I buy products targeted with advertising to me all the time.

There are so many bizarre jumps in logic here it's actually impossible to address. All I can say is you need to speak to an actual (or better yet, several) epidemiologists about vaccine efficacy and the efficacy of the covid vaccines.

It just can do 4k. I’m one of these people, my only monitor is a Pro Display so I need every last % because less than 4k is unplayable on it.

Once you publish your peer reviewed paper I look forward to retracting my comment as you are globally lauded.

Are you referring to the vaccines administered to several billion people, that are proven to be safe and effective?
