Seems to me that not a lot of people here understood deeply the purpose of the app, and maybe the app itself don't understand youtube deeply either. The app is aiming for privacy and most comments are about ad removal. What maybe both

Progess is being made specially in lower and medium range of monitors. Apple took a large leap into giant monitors with high DPI. Most people don't care a lot about it, when you are not that close to the monitor, the retina effect is n

You can dig a 2 meter deep hole and store the batteries there. It won't freeze during the winder if left turned off. If you plan to turn it on on the holes, you might need to plan for heat dissipation though.

I haven't heard of Stripe Atlas. And it actually sounds like a good idea. I'll take a deeper look, but you could have a company in Brazil that interfaces with the company you create with Atlas. In none of my comments in this threa

AFAIK it works only for his first company, which is fair, MEI is ok for a first company. But not for serial projects like his, with many different areas of business. Also, sorry to say, but I would never have a MEI myself. The mixture of yo

Just for starters, every company is a liability for you as a person. Your "equivalent of credit score" will be forever impacted by each legal entity you start. A company in Brazil needs to fit into categories. So if you have an e-

No it is not. You might find it simple, if you don't compare to places that are easier. First you need to file all the paperwork. Then you wait. Once you get approvals, you can't do anything without a bank account, and opening the

You can't really configure your car after you bought it either. Or your blender or your hair dryer. Not everything in the world needs to be configurable to be good. Yes, when moving from Windows to Mac, people miss stuff that could be

That is not the first time I see one of your stories and it always brings me a smile to see your new ideas and how implement them. It also amazes me how some countries make it so easy to open a business. Doing so in Brazil would be a legal

Apple is not known for good web services. The App Store being a fork of iTunes Store and the Mac App Store building on the same unstable foundation. Sure they are getting better and better, but still... Apple will want to scale this from th

It would still be a good idea to have backend check for this. - If javascript breaks, (or get blocked by extensions) there should be a check for contradictory answers. - If on future iterations on the UI (more often than backend) logic brea

You have a valid point, and to some extent government should continue to be people centric. But there is value in replacing a some of the system in place by code. IMO, a lot of ambiguous laws and polices create different outcomes for simila

Yeah, Office got a lot better, but Adobe is still plain malware. Here is one way to work around it: - Create a new partition, install macOS and have each bootable partition have its own different FileVault password for encryption. - You can

The T2 chips were a bold move and probably necessary for Apple as a transition plan. Imagine all the features it provides (Touch ID, secure boot, disk encryption) arriving only with the M1 Macs? Firmware and software needed to see the light

Some basic math makes believe the Monterey menu bar might be 74px height. (3456 * 10/16)-2234 = -74 (3024 * 10/16)-1964 = -74 Which means both models have a 16:10 ratio + 74 extra pixels in heigh. Clearly they are adding stuff for

Many comments saying sports and streaming is hard work. Well, no doubt it is. Many pulling 12h or 16h work days. I agree. Nevertheless, anyone that manage to have 5+ millions USD in property and savings before they are 30 got to a level of
