Why not just buy directly from Anker? https://www.anker.com/store Generally that is what I try to do for anything I want to buy — get it from the producer directly. Sometimes it is prohibitive in some way (e.g. shipping tim

Sure but the important part of the tweet is “with no warning”. That’s why it is being posted here.

It's crazy to me that somehow "Alley 19 Bowling" has been lingering around in my brain for 20+ years. All of a sudden I feel like I played it yesterday.

I don't necessarily get the sense this is made for "adversaries". More for unknowns. E.g. if voice commands and the laser fail (say, because it is a real adversary wearing safety glasses), next up is lots and lots of bullets.

I mean, he's clearly not arguing _against_ backdoors in that quote. He's basically saying, "China gets backdoors, we want them too."

I haven’t bought from Amazon in years. A few weeks ago my toddler left a rubber ball in our waffle maker and we didn’t realize it before turning it on and melting the thing. It ruined the non-stick coating. After a bit of research I found a

Interesting. This little bug comes up a lot on HN and is usually just that -- a bug. In this case, it seems that the "breaking" of the back button here was intentional based on the line comment[0]. What was the initial reasoning f

Taken a whole, I can see what you mean about the article title. I think this is a just bad title, but titles are hard (: > I would still call it a $20 typo if you then didn't cash in that cheque. Interesting. To me calling something

The relevant difference between our examples is not the amount. It's that my example check was cashed and therefore cost me $20. Your example check bounced and didn't cost you anything. If that bounce caused your bank to charge yo

Eh, I think it's debatable and not pedantic. I literally clicked on the link because I inferred the headline to mean that Pepsi made a typo that somehow cost them $32B. And re: your example, I would not call that a "$200MM typo&qu

I agree that the requirement from Apple here is kind of dumb, but I don’t see how it would not be in the best interest of a user of an app on an iOS device to have the option to sign in with an Apple ID. It also seems silly to consider it “

That's the rub. The fantasy seems great initially for the prospect of breaking up the far too large (in my opinion) social media behemoths but maybe also ruins things for all the potential little guys as well.

One potential outcome here -- social media platforms start _more actively_ banning users to prevent potential liability issues, thus fracturing the market. Highly doubt it will work out that way, but it would be nice (well, maybe...).

I fixed my comment to account for space (and to correct the typo -- thanks!). If your response was truly "serious and practical", GP has provided some excellent advice for you. Sad about the lease ): Nothing wrong with snark, thou

As an aside -- don't let "bad" vegetables go completely to waste. Compost them and grow new ones (if you have the space)!

Beautifully said. I have two little ones, one came a few months ago with my current employer and I took a month of parental leave with no ill effects whatsoever. My manager and organization is incredibly respectful of my time and priorities

Lately I’ve been wondering if an upcoming generation is going to be more anti-technology, or at least anti-smartphone. I’ve got a 2.5 year old who will occasionally say, “put your phone down, daddy”, or even swipe it from my hand (though we
