He covers your argument in paragraph 5, under the "just ackchyually" crowd section. To summarize, you shouldn't have to use peripheral equipment to achieve what he believes should be standard functionality in hardware that em

Or maybe the other 30 commenters in this thread who've made similar apps have something to do with the fact that most users are not interested in this type of product.

How come HabitRPG gets posted to HN every month? (Albeit under a new name for the past few years?)

Both meetup.com and Facebook have news feeds that show me which events my contacts are attending... Maybe you should research your demo a bit more, and try to think about why Facebook or someone else in this space hasn't already built

Except that the apps help sell the phone. Just look at Apple's marketing since the App Store came out. Having an ecosystem of easily accessible free and paid apps is a huge driver in terms of the iPhone's popularity. Your Walmart

Oh, maybe it's because their images are huge for no reason... Don't click on mobile!

Which menus generally have color as an element in Mac OS today that don't in the new Mac OS? Serious question—I can't find one.

Yes, many. Verizon is still the only option for reception in many areas—I live in Los Altos Hills, and the only provider with reception for much of the town is Verizon.

Any particular reason why you chose Amazon as the company that should be paying for a public utility for some reason? What about Microsoft, Boeing, University of Washington... what's the criteria by which a company becomes responsible

The guy you're replying to is the one who wrote the misleading blogpost that was (rightfully flagged) in link [2]. I think it's likely that if he's still grinding this axe 7 months after a very reasonable explanation was give

It includes the number working on their Eats, Driver, autonomous driving, internal products, etc. It's the employees of Uber, the company, not Uber the ride share app.

There's no billion/million mixup here. Quarterly revenue will be down by 17-22 million.

Just to make this kind of confusing story less confusing—the Pinboard guy prints valid invoices (in order to be legally compliant, and because he's "not a totally evil guy"). Someone (from Germany) asked him to add Company Na

Huh? It's not like Zoom offers an SSO solution. The value of the accounts is two-fold: 1) Looking for Zoom premium accounts, there is actually a pretty good trade in stolen accounts on the dark web. Folks will pay a dollar for example

Fish and humans have vastly different diets, and human feces contain different bacteria and viruses than fish feces. You can absolutely pollute an ocean with sewage. Please try to educate yourself.

There's no proof it was a leap year bug. If they were truly sending an out of range value, the response code would probably be a 500, not a 503.

Sorry, but there’s no bank in the world that would tell you to simply “take a hike” if your password was breached and your money was stolen.

This sort of pedantic hand-wringing is tiring. Google sells many things, one of which is advertising. Firebase Crashlytics may be free, but it's made available by Google in the hopes that developers pay for Firebase's full suite o

It's funny—my experience is pretty much opposite. At a certain scale AWS will provide really world-class support beyond just troubleshooting. DO forwards you to (granted, fairly in-depth) documentation an expects you to read it and eng

I mean, any API call to an external server can be considered "phoning home". What is your specific definition? I think submitting bug reports only through official channels is pretty lame. Most of the 'official channels'

Bose QC35 headphones should be 100% functional over BLE without needing an app (I pair them with my iPhone as a normal BLE headset, and they pair with my Mac and Windows Desktop as well, no app installed). Also, they include a physical audi
