I just bought a high end Anker multi-port USB/PD brick and a collection of Nomad USB cables (C-C, A-C, and one that's C-C but includes C-A adaptors for both ends). To be fair, the only places I've consistently had issues wit

You're mostly right but you're ignoring the elephant in the room, which is search. Not even public search engine crawlers, but search within a Discord server by the server users. On a busy server, it's nearly impossible to

On the flip side, literally the only app I've ever had BT earbud issues with is Discord (on Android). With two different earbuds that both support multi-point, neither one would reliably work with Discord.

I'm a Cloud xoogler (2015-2023), too, and I'm not sure whether that would have made things easier or harder. There were quite a few "shiny object" solutions Cloud commercialized from other parts of Google/Alphabet

My impression is that the hassle and pain of doing this is often why languishing projects are deprecated. I can't tell you how many times I've read TotT issues or seen threads on eng-misc or elsewhere that would either talking ab

The odds are exceptionally good that he wasn't trying to maximize profits with the sale. Additionally, the valuation of the land as an open space preserve is far different than it might be if it were estimated for development.

Yes, of course. Take a look at the Wildlands Conservancy's website to learn more. In my previous comment on this thread I also linked to this reference: https://www.calandtrusts.org/map-ca-land-trusts/ These sor

Yep! California, more than any other state I know, has done an absolutely tremendous job of allowing private/public reinvestment in land trusts to create publicly accessible conserved open spaces. I should probably not be surprised by

You're correct. This famously (within Google) came up in three scenarios: 1) people living in parts of Contra Costa County who were remote, and then paid 10% less than those living in the same place who commuted into a Google office i

Because it "afford", not afford. Clearly it would be possible, but not for the QoL they prefer. For $300k/yr you're buying a SFH in many other parts of the greater bay area.

Why not just create a consumer google account for purposes like this?

The reality is that all sufficiently large land area countries are facing similar issues. It's the same in China, in Brazil, in Australia, etc. Technology has accelerated the economic gravity of large metros, at a pace not seen since

fwiw, I have seen exactly the same thing with the Nest Cam I have pointed into my backyard. Not interestingly, I suppose, this camera also regularly has the IR motion trigger activated by small moths and other flying bugs. :/

Google had a feature within the Home app that allowed users to change the volume of groups of speakers simultaneously, which infringed on a Sonos patent.

You wouldn't see them there. The vast majority of $100-500m ideas explored by Google are never actually turned into Beta products. They get killed during prototype testing and early alpha, because teams can get that far without meani

This is the sort of statement that isn't wrong, but which illustrates the echo chamber that is HN (or tech in general). There are plenty of industries and even more companies where "hustle culture" just isn't a thing, a

I find it amusing when I hear people make statements assessing short durations like 6 years to be significant. Six years in many industries is enough to reach mid-tier level expertise, but it is absolutely not mastery level. I'm maki

As far as I'm concerned, the only real market for this is as an upgraded Nest Hub hardware. It's not really competitive as a tablet (go to Samsung or Apple for that), but it doesn't really do anything differentiated, either.

The flip side to your comment, though, is that chess can be highly entertaining for people just getting started, who neither know any established openings or play lines, nor are playing against opponents who do... which describes the vast

This is largely why they hired Alyssa Fitzpatrick from Microsoft, and where the "Intel Accelerated[1]" software partnerships program came from. I don't know if it will work or not, but it's a start. [1] https:/&#x

I think a lot of those attributes are at least as attributable to nurture as nature.

The difference is that those bugs are certified in one and not the other. In many cases, bugs are known to the SW provider but not disclosed to customers unless they happen upon them. With certified SW, bugs are by default disclosed up fr
