I missed your Show HN a few months ago for the Logo Search. That thing is awesome! Most of the ones I've come across in the past are great for finding logos for companies in the tech-sphere, but fall short outside of that. This one see

Many TVs go into a power-saving mode when you press the "power" button now, rather than truly turning off. They usually require the plug itself to be pulled or a trip deep into the settings menu to find a "full restart"

Same here. I have a Vizio that was rock solid when I first got it - I don't use any of the TV's native apps/OS, but heavily leverage the built-in Chromecast and Airplay functionality. It randomly updated the firmware at some

Not all wheelchairs require a full on wheelchair-accessible van. Many wheelchairs are also collapsible, and capable of being stowed away in a normal-sized trunk. Yet even people using those types of wheelchairs struggle with getting rides.

You and scarmig are both looking at the extremes. We're all screwed eventually, as death spares no life. But we never know when that day will come. So a more nuanced perspective would be to treat the now as your finale, and the future

That was news to me until I pulled up that support article to add to my post, but looks like it! Looks like there are two different USB adapters Apple sells, and the product page for this[1] one mentions it can be used for quite a few USB d

I came across the feature while using a beta of iOS 14, so can't speak to whether it's improved since iOS 13. But my use case has involved connecting to a remote host over a ZeroTier[1] VPN, using an iPhone 6S. I haven't expe

I don't use GoodReader, so can't say if it's exactly the same. But as of iOS 13, the Files app now supports directly connecting to external servers. SMB for sure, but can't find a definitive list of supported protocols.

Using a naive supply/demand optimization, that's true. But housing is a hyper-local market, and you have to apply that at a local level instead of a macro level. Areas with more supply than demand already have easy access to home

Optimizely used to, but their sales strategy changed to deliberately reposition themselves in the market. They've priced out self-service and smaller users, and repositioned their sales model for larger companies with immature internal

One small (but major) nuance: the 80/20 rule applies specifically to the _insurance_ business. So what's another way to increase profits in addition to letting care spending keep creeping up? Add non-insurance lines of business to

For sure! H1B as a whole tends to be abused, and your points are completely valid ones in general. And my comment was about TVA's direct use of the H1B program - not use of an IT contractor that is likely to be (ab)using the H1B prog

You can see the salaries of the H1B workers here[1] (at least their initial salaries). Electrical engineering related hires had salaries between $47k - $55k. Looking at other H1B salary data for those years (2001 - 2003)[2], and the TVA sal
