How much is your rent, if you don’t mind my asking? Those fees sound exorbitant. I used to do ACH transfers since those were free at the last place I rented. The management company only charged a $3 debit/credit card fee...

You can always use the Firefox Extended Support Release, which is updated far less frequently and is (hypothetically) more stable: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/choosing-firefox-update...

I love my iPhone SE but even with a brand new battery, it can barely make it through a day of extremely light use on iOS 13.

Phil Schiller has openly said that the iPhone names are swiped from car manufacturers[1]. > "I love cars and things that go fast, and R and S are both letters used to denote sport cars that are really extra special," he said wi

You're right. But it is generating some interesting discussion here on HN with people sharing what 3.5mm headphone jack equipped phones they've been using.

For me, Amazon's main purpose is to get them to price match Best Buy. Why wait 3 days when I can just go to Best Buy, show them the same item for $30 cheaper on Amazon and get it immediately?

It works in the US too. All of the major chains offer subscription services now. It didn’t work for MoviePass because they are a third party and charged less than the price of a ticket per month.

I can’t tell if that’s sarcasm or not... That story was basically a plant from Amazon and Quillette is absolutely not a high quality news source.

I never said it was accessible. I said it was a text based site, which it is. I feel like you're misunderstanding on purpose just to argue. I also never said that it was okay for them to do that. But it meets the minimum requirements o

I work in government and this is a major issue right now. We've basically pulled any and all content that wasn't required to be online from our website until it has been "certified accessible" by a third party. It's

WhatsApp has made significant inroads in the US but it isn't universal. If you have a phone, you can almost 100% get texts. I'm guessing the only thing that comes close to texting in terms of marketshare is iMessage. And that&#x27

Having one remote is a huge advantage that a lot of people overlook. Most people don't want to think, "Oh, I'm using the Roku, which remote is that?" It sounds dumb, but it is a major barrier for both of my parents. I en

That's a good analogy. At what point does what we're giving up become worth it to solve all these crimes? I don't have an answer, I'm just wondering. Obviously solving 1 or 2 crimes isn't worth giving up so much pri

I don’t think the original Twitter post was irrational at all. This just provides a big of speculation as to the cause. It’s probably right, still speculation. And it doesn’t matter who is at fault to the end consumer. If I was working on a
