What am I looking at? Switzerland is just a black line mess. The average temperature is lower in Fribourg and you can confirm by looking at actual historical data, which is what Gemini did—correctly.

Huh? Fribourg is literally colder, especially in September.

I saw a banana tree with green bananas in Fribourg Switzerland in September 2025. According to Gemini this city is much colder than Essex, and yet.

How do you prevent hostile takeovers? That's the core issue here. Owner X died and the next 6 contributors don't care about the project. Here comes Ron, with his 3 PRs from 2020, suddenly able to publish releases as if X is still

Just yesterday I mentioned how we need better OS-level sandboxes and I got laughed at here on HN. People love running AI software with root access.

Hello, are you aware that ALL the software you run on your computer can silently access your clipboard? Have you ever copied sensitive data? Perhaps a password? Anyway, what I'm asking is a native way to run software in a real sandbox.

I run Claude in that terminal. No, it shouldn't. Not without a prompt. This is how you get worms stealing your keys via some build tool you just run.

I'm dying to have proper sandboxing in macOS. I installed ChatGPT, I asked it to list files in my user directory and it did. I never gave it permission, how could it? My terminal has access and honestly it shouldn't either.

You said it yourself: you're already paying. Lots of people don't want to pay, so they use this for their hobby.

I have some insight into this as my ex ended up in a similar situation in Malaysia. Rich family, no free days, 5-22 work hours. It took me a year to convince her that it was not ok. They took away her passport, phone, she wasn't allowe

No, if they wanted to get rid of her there were a lot of easier solutions. As you may be aware, slaves can be sold.

I'm afraid that police wouldn't do a thing if a practice is widespread and accepted by most. Legally speaking it's not a scam because it's not a hidden charge. The 3% credit card charge on the other hand... but I'd

It's printed on the menu so it's effectively legal, just dishonest. > What happens if a tourist refuses to pay the fee? Just about what would happen if you refuse to pay the bill, most likely you'll end up being shared on

The worst part of restaurant fees are the people (both owners and somehow the patrons) that will justify the existence of the fee as if it's too difficult to just print the final price in the menu. I live in a touristy part of the worl

Derivative could just be "let CF append your Google Analytics tag and that funny cursor-follower script. Perpetual is way harder to justify though.

Don't worry the next OTA will both restore the warning and change/remove the ability to disable it. It's the future!

Finder has always been crap. When Windows Vista came out, using Finder was like playing with a toy. IYKYK.[1] Sadly, it has received effectively zero updates since. The only amazing things about the Finder are column view and QuickLook, bot

This makes no sense. You can't force them to sell you the game. They'll just say "this is a 5-year rental" and that'll be it. The regulation can't even be retroactive

You're absolutely right, but I don’t think we'll ever get to a point in which what a car ships is better than what Apple ships. This only gets worse over time when you have a new iPhone and a 10-year-old infotainment system, it&#x

You're saying that as if developers have cared about the platform in the past twenty years. Use JS, everything is possible, even turning a div into a link, apparently.

I don't know of anyone using sunscreen from the moment they wake up until they go to sleep. Guaranteed that even the best user will still receive a healthy amount of UV even if they refresh every few hours. As far as I'm concerned

You're using AI to find issues, why are you not using AI to fix them? Issues are for humans. Of course don't just spam untested PRs as that will land you in PR jail very quickly.
