This is like shouting "I am upset" on Twitter and getting more upset at people asking why. If you don't want people to ask, don't mention it.

HN is for nerds. Majority of population is not. Not really indicative.

Not weird. iPhone E, iPhone, iPhone Air, iPhone Pro There's no MacBook E and MacBook non-air, so the order matches.

You can hate Apple for it, but the phone costs $1000+ because people will buy it. Apple has been proven right year after year since 2017 (iPhone X) You can still do everything you mentioned on a $150 phone, which exists in parts of the worl

I don’t think many people would like a phone that is twice as heavy all the time . At least battery packs can be taken off. If few people would buy it, Apple won't produce it. I think the Air will flop for this reason.

You fail to mention that the 17 and 16e don't only differ by weight. Miniaturization is costly.

Wasn't that always the case? I was in Seoul in 2016 and Google Maps wasn't even allowed to be vectorial there.

Looking at the long list of faces for my country, it boggles my mind how all these people are fine letting the police just scan their phone, photos, messages at will, as if they don't have significant others or medical pictures on thei

I mean, yeah, I care about my code and any code I have to read, but having to use a LLM-made library isn't the end of the world. It's like complaining that the eggs at the supermarket are not homemade. It's an egg. Eat it.

Email and chat apps are just about the only notifications I keep. I "archive" any unwanted email right from the notification screen, I report as spam anything I don't like. I hate people who have 4 digits in their email bubbl

Right, my initial statement applies: it's not "just $11k", it's a lot more.

This is it, unfortunately git is "too dumb" for this. In order to merge code, it would have to either understand the AST. What happens when you stage the line `} else return {`? git doesn't allow to stage specific AST nodes.

Serverless is the problem in that most serverless services don't let you hard-cap spend. This issue is serverless-specific. If I pay $20/month on VPN the most frightening thing that can happen is the client calling you about your

You wake up to a bill of one hundred thousand dollars and now it's up to you to dispute it. I think hating them for it is very fair.

If GitHub were to close tomorrow, you'd lose out on the social part temporarily, but there are effectively dozens of providers and solutions that could replace it. The same could not be said for Figma, where if lost, you'd end up

> I'll have paid $11k for the car, effectively. No you have not. You have paid $11k + a whole working car to get that one. I also can get a new iPhone every year "for only $500" if you consider the real price being "o

This probably falls into the "right to repair" and "green" initiatives, so I think it's going to happen in this decade.

The nerds are the minority. If you want hackable machines vote with your wallet and/or with your politicians.
