Preface: I don’t know how sandboxing works on iOS beyond broad concepts, and there’s going to be implementation details I’m unaware of. As a result, please read this as curious speculation, rather than anything approximating an authoritativ

I’m absolutely with you here. I walked into it having intentionally avoided the trailers, and treating the whole existence as a thrown-bone, a “here’s one last throwback to something truly special, in a time when we could all use some famil

You may well have already, but if not, please consider getting tested for sleep apnea. Waking up in an anxious jolt, with chest pain, or a feeling of breathlessness, are all warning signs that you’re breathing is stopping during the night.

I can see replenishment of the water tables being a concern, if everyone (or a good percentage, at least) started doing so. Add to that concerns about disrupting existing ecosystems, and I could see at least a partway compelling case that c

“Recently, I was asked if I was going to fire an employee who made a mistake that cost the company $600,000. No, I replied, I just spent $600,000 training him. Why would I want somebody to hire his experience?” — Thomas J. Watson, allegedly

I think you’re vastly a) underestimating the time it takes to bring a new product line all the way into production in the auto industry, and b) overestimating the true demand for such a product, Hacker News and adjacent crowds notwithstandi

I cannot imagine sincerely believing a statement that is so blatantly wrong. Moreover, there’s nothing ‘potentially’ carcinogenic about smoking, it is a known carcinogen.

I don’t think the demand curve is matching supply at this point, and the processors, while powerful, will be outdated in a relatively short timeframe. Utilising them in a build farm would be one way to put any excess to good use.

I feel this is a dishonest take. I’ve seen the moderators leave up some pretty egregious violations of the site rules because it fostered good discussion, which seems to be at the heart of HN. However, good discussion ultimately requires re

Ostensibly this is the exact opposite function one wants out of a search tool, obscuring results. For Microsoft to design such an egregious UX for one of their key platforms, the incentives must be staggering. Calling this a dark pattern do

You keep making these assertions, failing to back them up with anything other than hand-waving in the direction of entirely unrelated programs. You then respond to requests for citations, or even just an elaboration, with the near-verbatim

Or, Occam’s razor. A sufficiently complex engineering task can exist such that it fully taxes even international, multi-nation state-backed parallel capacity for engineering, and science. This is already demonstrated by your own examples pr

Adding to this to really drive the point home: it doesn’t even need to be better than a human that’s good at driving. It only needs to be better than the average human driver. Anecdotally speaking, that’s not such a high bar to pass (rela

As an Australian, I think we can walk and chew gum at the same time. So beyond your pissant deflection, do you have an actual, contributory response to the discussion?
