My biggest sadness is wishing that it was easier and more accessible to build stuff like this on iOS. Making things and distributing to the App Store is an absolute nightmare. Of course that’s also what makes it so much better than almost e

False. The conflict in the Middle East between Israel and every other Arab nation has literally been present since biblical times. The names have changed, but the game remains the same. We’re just witnessing the current iteration of this sa

I actually really enjoyed reading the summary as my brain didn’t really grasp the abstract.

You’re correct, but we’re discussing the current Israeli-Palestinian conflict, not a genocide. While it may feel good to use evocative words to spark emotion in others, you’re going to have to cite sources and provide an argument if you wan

I think that’s pretty obvious though. At least in my circles, the main talking point is the fact that this war goes back literally to the dawn of human civilization in this area. People who think this sparked in the last 100 years aren’t pa

EVs have to be a superior product (read: including the infrastructure) before the majority of people will switch to them, plain and simple.

Bro. I can’t tell if this is a joke or not. Outliers are a thing, there’s a good book on them. Your personal anecdote to your grandfather does not flip the table on all the research that clearly and definitively proves otherwise. Beyond tha

I’m way closer to paying for Kagi than I am to paying for Firefox. Sure “apples to oranges” and all that, but if Kagi slapped a coat of paint on a shitty electron app, gave me bookmarks, profiles (for dev testing a la containers in Firefox)

Sex is part of the world and has been forever. We still should shield and heavily regulate any interaction between children and sex. Because its improper usage is devastating and harmful.

Yet another reminder that social media is nothing but a social contagion on our society. Do not allow your kids on social media if you care for their long-term mental health!

We should accept foreign propaganda due to… hypocrisy? What does that even mean?

I disagree with the premise of the quote. Parents are tasked with instilling the VALUES needed to successfully navigating the world. Knowing when to persist and when to quit an endeavor is a values-based calculation, not a skill. Yet it is

Ah, you’re correct I did miss that. I’m not sure how I’d feel about a federally mandated solution like this… but I have to admit, it’s A SOLUTION to an otherwise big problem.

That only works in parts of the world where there is a viable alternative to driving. Speaking as someone who has lived most of their life in the rural south US, that’s not a reality for most of the world.

You think governments have the ability to combat misinformation without living in some Orwellian-esque regime? "Misinformation" is probably one of the most abused phrases of our age. If we could even start by labeling misinformati

The "[!IMPORTANT]" block in the README is really fancy. I had no idea you could do that.

I disagree. I grew up without a cell phone while all my friends had them. Beyond that, my friends had online gaming where I barely even had access to the internet, and what access I had was limited. I find the argument that kids are going t

That's not the point. The point is that it's your obligation to do your best to protect them from it. "Ease of access" is hardly a reason to not try.

> It is unrealistic to lock your kids out of all social media. Excuse me, what? Is it also unrealistic to prevent your kids from doing hard drugs? Sure maybe you can’t control them past a certain age, but you certainly can AND SHOULD wit

Assuming positive intent here, I'm not sure how you reason that a fusion system might be less performant than a single model? My whole point is that a single system is not sufficiently safe to do what we're trying to do. The point

True FSD will only come from LIDAR + vision. Relying only on vision feels exceedingly dangerous. I recall a recent (last 2 years?) case where a guy was essentially decapitated by a flat-bed semi because his car couldn’t recognize the semi’s

It’s actually really surprising to me (from a technical perspective) that this wasn’t already the case. Based on what I’ve read they’re basically spoofing the fact that they’re an iDevice which seems like it should be much more difficult th

I don’t think relying on consumers to “not reward” anti-competitive behavior is a good strategy. I own several Apple devices primarily because the UX and ecosystem is so far beyond anything Android offers (in my opinion), that I’m simply no

Uh.. the review where the disabled gamer mentions that he can’t play the game that needs 2 thumb sticks because the controller only had 1. It’s stated clearly in the article.

5 years late and only one joy stick. How can you simultaneously be late to the innovation table AND deliver an inferior product?

What makes you bullish on that? I had the opposite experience recently. I used a friend’s foldable phone and it felt extremely gimmicky.
