The article, if seen as criticism of decentralization in general, would be a big straw-man. But the actual thesis of the author is that you can't decentralize "everything" (the HN title has the straw man though). Even in succ

Giving out an ID piece is consensual and/or a rare occurrence, compared to simply walking down the street which is a daily unavoidable activity for the vast majority of people. It's similar to giving out your IP address to website

That's a bummer (the cell modem on older models is awesome and some carriers can provide you with a second data-only sim card at no additional monthly cost), but it's not something someone coming from a MBP will miss.

The format of the top comments are all similar. 20-30 words staying under the "Read more" limit, “I am X, I support China", 200-250 upvotes. Replies are argumented with links to anti-US articles. Not very subtle, this was p

Pretty certain it's the unstability. In my experience, while Flutter may not be elegant because of Dart, it more or less just works. Developing in React Native is mostly just debugging the framework itself and browsing through React Na

That's kind of a straw man. The type of tourism that would warrant congestion pricing isn't the one where people really get to "meet different people and cultures, live outside one's comfort zone, and broaden one's

Well Airbnb may have merged some % of the "residential" and "hotel" zones, but until tourists decide to sleep in tents they still have some way of approximately controlling the number of people in the city.

That's only true with low-mid tier devices. Try handling a ThinkPad X1 Carbon, it's way better professional hardware than a MacBook Pro imo. Super light, mate screen, great keyboard. My theory on Apple's design process with t

Let me elaborate on why this argument isn't simply "whataboutism": Nobody would call for Google to be shut down for the " evil " content they mirror and link to. We all have an implicit understanding that Google is

Indeed, it seems like the biohazard sign could be interpreted as a symbol for the sun with a naked man running from it. Maybe the primitive people back then were getting cooked to death from standing under the sun too long? Good thing we ha

The problem is people feel trapped into buying Apple only because they got used to MacOS. I'm sure not many would bother to keep using these outdated 2015 MBP if they could simply install MacOS on a Thinkpad X1 like you do Linux, for i

There's very little democracy in France as well. Corporate lobbying might not be as prevalent (simply because they don't have as many humongous corporations), but it's still the same old self-serving oligarchy story. If we re
