I have yet to get a good answer to this question: what do these checks do? They just confirm the developer has $100? Does Apple actually make sure signed binaries don't do anything bad?

I used exclusively Mac on my personal machines from 2005 to 2018. Then I switched to a Windows 10 laptop mostly because I was curious and it was cheap. Windows 10 + WSL is amazing. It's definitely getting better all the time while mac

Yes! This is dead on. I can't stop evangelizing Tailwind lately: https://tailwindcss.com/ If you're using any component-based framework (I use Vue) it's an incredible experience. The stylesheet they provide

Yours is amazing! By the way it has a big problem with "/" in the default settings. I tried doing a date like "08/20/2020" since that's something I need for signing forms but the slashes mangled it.

One huge difference you notice right away is groceries. Groceries in central London are half price or less what you'd pay in most of SF. Rent is definitely lower in London. That said salaries are lower in London too, so the relative &

I moved out of SF in March. Not because of the virus, I just had a long-planned move (to London) with interesting timing. Unlike many of my tech peers, I love San Francisco and the Bay Area. It's a beautiful city and surrounded in all

I work on Firebase. His characterization of Firestore is incorrect and lazy. It did not replace Realtime Database (which is the product he’s calling Firebase) they are two products which live side by side and both are being actively impro

Bullsh*t. You know they have a team somewhere that was preparing for the situation where they lost this case. They have a Plan B. They're just playing chicken with us right now. This statement is part of Dara's week-long media b

Here on HN we like to complain about JS frameworks and Single Page Apps. Yes, they can be slow. But they also power some great interactive web experiences like Figma or Slack that just aren't feasible to build any other way. The low

lf these shoppers are really just "independent contractors" participating in Instacart's open market then Instacart is completely failing as a market maker.

They actually could require iOS among their shoppers. I did Postmates deliveries in ~2015 and they handed each delivery person an iPhone 5c with the courier app preinstalled.

Really happy for them. Tailwind is so good that it’s actually made my website designs 5x better. I’m able to translate my thoughts into pixels so much faster and more accurately with Tailwind than with any other CSS system/framework.

I often try to support a creator and find out that monthly support is my only option ... which I am not willing to do. Here are some ways we have always supported creators without subscriptions: I can buy a book, watch a movie in a theater,

(replying to myself) Wow ... a comment about UBI I typed out on my phone now has 600+ replies. I sort of regret posting this since I assume others have much more insightful things to say than I do! Many great points were made in the replie

I like the simple argument made here about UBI enabling efficient consumption. I worry about three things with UBI though and they're more social than economic. 1. Power Divide - society will be easily divided into two groups: those wh

Remember when Uber’s business got a little shaky so they started making a bunch of noise about a flying taxi project that would launch soon and be cheaper than a car? Well this smells like that. Airbus knows that orders for commercial airpl

I just can't get past the narrative here. Sridhar basically builds Google's massive ad business from the ground up and then decides "ads are bad" and takes his ad money over to profit on the other side by selling a new s

If I was a restaurant starting up I’d just buy my first 20 reviews. Tell customers they get a free appetizer if they leave a review on Yelp (any review, any stars). Sucks that’s the world we live in but it’s so obviously true and it’s the

When Americans talk about how great European cities are, they are often talking about exactly this. Mixed-use neighborhoods full of charming small businesses and dense housing within walking distance to daily needs.

Eric is one of the most accomplished leaders in tech but also one of the most overconfident and out of touch. So this could really go either way.

I'm a serious pen and paper person but the only note taking app I've stuck with is Google Keep. I think the constraints are a virtue. No hierarchy, no structure more complex than a list. It imitates my paper workflow which is a b

At Google I'm convinced our interviewing system only works due to a combination of luck, large numbers, and generally good intentions. None of the individual steps is a particularly good way to tell if someone will succeed at Google,

OT: Can we stop sharing The Information links on HN? They seem to have the strictest paywall of anyone. I doubt many commenters here actually subscribe which means we're just discussing the headline.

Arguably not even a profitable one considering how 903M invested almost anywhere else since 2012 would have done with far less risk.

Back when I was on the platform Postmates was the only one that would deliver anything from anywhere. Like you could order a MacBook or a burrito.
