They're providing background, which they have more than enough relevant expertise to provide. I found it a useful perspective; in particular an un-connected party can often speak more freely about issues. What exactly did you identify

Yes. As always, the choice to not use encryption cuts both ways. No secrecy for the sender, but no guarantee of authenticity for the receiver.

What? This has nothing to do with unions. If enough engineers don't want to work on $x, Netflix won't be able to work on $x. If there are enough, they'll find replacements for ones that leave and they'll be able to work

There are a wide variety of phones available with and without headphone jacks. There's no reason the government needs to intervene. The ones without headphone jacks are, as far as I can tell, much more popular. I don't really cons

I'd suspect quite the opposite; kids who have their time filled with organised activities and have no time to come up with their own may be less likely to develop important skills like creativity, self-reliance, and be more reliant on

Why is this such a uniquely American problem? Large, dense cities in the rest of the world don't face these issues.

It's almost like features like card slots in smartphones are not particularly important to the mass market! The discussion on HN when headphone jacks come up is always quite amusing. The market has demonstrated now for years that remov

You'd be in that 10% then :) I'd also suspect people on HN might tend to have paid more attention to their WiFi setup than the average user.

Many countries in Asia are like this. You are very unlikely to get PR, let alone citizenship, unless you are born there to a citizen parent. e.g. China, most of southeast Asia. Sometimes there is even an ethnicity requirement.

I mean, they are destroying Russian tanks that are invading their country... you can't successfully paint them as equals when Russia started the fight by sending soldiers into Ukraine sovereign territory.

Right, exactly. It's blatantly obvious that Ukraine is spinning the propaganda machine (and more effectively than Russia when it comes to the international audience, from what I can see), and the US doesn't seem to have any qualms

Of course, it has nothing to do with the number of hosts or server processes, and I didn't see anyone claim that it does. It's difficult-to-impossible to truly run Postgres as a proper "herd of cattle", due to the need

No, this wasn't a little Cessna 172. This aircraft is a turboprop and likely has a glass cockpit. Still relatively simpler in terms of systems than most jets, but because it's a turbine it wouldn't be your first choice for so

It is, but it's not as difficult as you think. PPL students are landing the plane solo within 10-30 hours of flight time, during which they will have landed maybe 40 times.

With a better sim (prepar3d, x-plane, etc) and good aircraft models, you can build up a lot of systems knowledge that translates accurately to the real world (instruments, avionics, navigation, fuel system, hydraulics, air, handling failure

Untitled UI looks lovely, isn't there a huge amount of repetitive manual work translating all the components from Figma to Tailwind though?

Interesting, I haven't noticed this issue, but I use my watch on the same hand that changes gear (at least when I'm in a country that drives on the right, which is most of the time), so I guess I'm used to having that hand of

All the dialogue feels like fiction, and probably is, but the underlying story is mostly accurate from what I've read in other sources.

Apple Maps directions also has an "alerts only" mode which will shut up completely unless you need to know something urgent (e.g. you are approaching a 60 km/h speed trap and going faster than 60 km/h). If you have the w

This often happens when differently-named or -numbered roads join end-on (i.e. one road becomes the other as you drive along it), and Apple Maps does it too sometimes.

It isn't comparable to a managed PostgreSQL. There is no server. SQLite is just a file format and a library to access it.

That's not correct. The article glosses over this, but if you read it carefully: > At least 90% of [the QOF's] assets must be “qualified opportunity zone property” which can be any combination of (1) stock in a QOZB corporation

Seems to me that "the wealthy" could come up with simpler loopholes without the pesky requirement to actually invest money in depressed areas.
