This is not necessarily a personal thing with Trump. If anything I think this might likely be more of a JD Vance thing.

This is long overdue. The fact that a large tech company lays 10,000 people off and then immediately turns around and petitions for thousands of H-1B employees is criminal.

That's one benefit of using Java actually. You can always find Java developers.

What are people using in place of the cowork web/chrome integration? I find that to still be compelling reason to use Claude. Sometimes I have a menial task that involves a lot of web browsing/clicking/searching and it's

"With its own browser" I can't even begin to comprehend what kind of personal and PII data this thing will be scraping from its users. Caveat emptor!

This kind of thing just reeks as a meta marketing ploy. My eyes were opened when I started attending some marketing all-hands at my last FANG employer. They do this kind of thing all of the time.

Just keep the TV completely disconnected and use something like an Apple TV.

I love the phone, but I really hate the "ethical" framing of device repairability. This is an engineering problem and we don't need to twist it through a moral framework. Phones that are repairable have superior engineering,

We should be seeing it all over America in that case.

We know that at least Anthropic is renting inference from xAI but I think the other ones would be news.

I give the salmon a little more credit because the entire river can't be a beaver dam. That's their theory and I think will more research we're going to learn more about what's happening here.

The temperature is cooler? That can't possibly be the only reason to explain such a dramatic change in survival rates. We definitely need more research on this topic.

And this is a PR piece put out by the ad company that people eat up because orange man bad.

As long as tech companies make a stand against superficial culture war fights like this nobody will care that they've caved w.r.t privacy over the last two decades. Sad!

Windows and Mac each have well thought through and secure solutions to these problems. It just doesn't exist on Linux without serious sacrifice of UX.

So the solution is to make your computer basically unusable. I guess that's one way to secure things.

I haven't personally seen it on HN but it has been an issue at least since the beginning of tariffs, and there's significant rules in the original NAFTA agreement to try and curb it. So it's not new, and definitely predates t

Chinese vehicles are a little more conspicuous in their origin than rolled steel and aluminum.

Canada is very unfortunately caught in the trade war between the USA and China. It's pretty easy right now for certain goods to bypass the US tariffs by being transshipped through Canada and enter the USA without tariff because of mini

I can't speak for other people but I was upset to enter a medical era where bureaucrats were forcing medical decisions on me. I was forced to get it or lose my job despite 1) working remotely, 2) having already had Covid and 3) being h

A lot of us in tech have CVS Caremark as our pharmacy benefit manager and they will cover Zepbound (tirzepatide) for weight loss in the Fall. The problem is I'm too skinny now to get it!
