Just to be clear: I am not commenting on the likelihood of Apple to change this, or whether they should or should not. I am only saying that the submitted headline misrepresents the post.

“At present.” The submitted headline misrepresents this post. From the post: “At present, it's not possible to make bootable copies of Big Sur, even with asr, Apple's own built-in replication utility. As such, we haven't rele

I 100% share the frustration with carelessly damaged books from Amazon and don't disagree with your comment, but just want to say it's not Jeff Bezos or "Amazon" doing this to your shipment. It's underpaid, overwork

It's difficult, tiring, and demoralizing to keep on and on trying to maintain sincere and reasoned argument with seemingly unreasonable and ignorant people. But we really can't give in to that cynicism. These conversations almost

He didn’t. Like many teenagers do, especially in this kind of situation, he was looking down, not making eye contact. The police then order him to look at the camera to get their mugshot. We can probably assume they didn’t ask nicely. It’s

(For whatever it's worth, I was sincerely wondering because I don't know what the actual labor constraints on these companies/agencies might be. I suspected they aren't enough to make much of a difference when developers

I understand that in principle it could have an effect, and I understand how. I'm questioning whether that market for developers really is tight enough to matter, whether employers and top policy makers would even notice that some nu

Is it enough that a few people like this simply turn their backs and walk away to different work? I would think their vacancies would be quickly and easily filled. Is there really a shortage of people willing and able to do this kind of wor

Kinda seems like the real purpose of this saboteur service isn't so much to engineer the end of your relationship so you don't have to, or just to acquire legal proof so the law will let you two divorce, but rather to engineer the

This is an excellent point (sincerely), but in addition there is quite a bit of difference in what is required of a reader "staring at paper" vs. many of the couch potatoes staring at their various screens. Probably HN is packed w

Asking sincerely: Why should we not simply pull over to do this? Planes obviously are a different situation, but cars can easily just stop. While cool to imagine, it seems unnecessarily complicated and unsafe to do this in motion on the roa

I don't mean to be argumentative but I think this example is worse than that, as are most clickbait heds. It intentionally misrepresents the truth to get you to click. It is designed to create a false picture in your mind. That to me p

It’s offensive to say Orwell is a better writer? It’s incorrect that 1984 was seen to be anti-communist? I’m sincerely mystified, and I’d like to know what the objectors’ problem is.

“But why do we look to Orwell’s vision when Huxley’s rings truer?“ Simpler explanations aren’t as entertaining but I think they tend to be the correct ones. First, 1984 was received by many as anti-communist into the height of the Red Scare
