That's a very smug take, especially when you encounter websites every day that don't autofill for whatever reason (As another poster already showed with some examples) or in my case the 1Password extension in Safari failing to con

Alternatively there's also this with 1.7k stars already and supporting more services (Despite the name): https://github.com/steipete/CodexBar ( https://codexbar.app )

This won't work, HN is a high enough value target (Not a random site where bots try to spam some guestbook) that people would adapt to that quickly. Headless browsers, browser extensions, outsourcing captcha solving etc. - there's

It seems like this only covers data from 2012, so probably one of the other live websites like marinetraffic?

Google is also selling phones? Not a great point as it's probably not really a revenue driver for them though.

Maybe don't hold your breath on that. Even if the price for AI tools would double, or tripple...that's still a very small part of the actual cost of an employee.

I feel like he could make a much stronger point if there was more than a few demos and utilities for using AI tools (sell the shovels?) shared as the output.

Apple doesn’t even follow that guideline (It exists) themselves and is happily using push notifications for ads.

The rage bait on HN works like clockwork. Usually it's the "dark mode" feature of that website that triggers this comment.

Same reason why people have personal projects and share them on GitHub, it's fun to see people using / starring / interacting with your project / blog.

If you want to count every search engine bot, AI crawler, vulnerability scanner as users then that works, but these days it's basically useless to use these web server logs.

Not being able to use your domain is a pretty massive downside. The great part about email is that you can move between providers without issues. I wouldn’t want to use a posteo.de email for all my services when I don’t know if they will be

Demo scene or other competitions that aim at using little space / shortest way to achieve something are not really a good counter example.

Using lines of code as a metric for productivity is bad. Using it to show how simple something is, or how a refactor removed x lines of code that doesn’t need to be maintained any more isn’t such a bad thing I’d say.

The main complaint about these blocks is that they are managed and decided on by private companies and _not_ by the government / law.

I was about to post something about Delicious Library. That's one of my earlier Mac user memories and it always gave me joy to import / organize my books in there even if there's no real reason to do it.

You are misreading it. It’s not luxury any more (many people can afford it) but of course you can pay for a luxury experience if you want / can.

That's a very weird comparison...as the market for a search engine is basically every internet user. A networking overlay for technical users is a much smaller market.

That depends entirely on what you download, the country you are in and your ISP.

What's the main differentiator between Tailscale and Netrinos? Edit: Just found this post https://netrinos.com/blog/tailscale-alternatives-2025 , so it looks like main differentiator is pricing right now.

They already plaster iOS with ads...just for their own services and it's disguised as a system feature. It's especially obvious if you don't subscribe to paid iCloud and see ads for "Apple Arcade", "Increase iC
