I'm curious why this was flagged and removed from the HN homepage.

I use Apple Podcasts every day and experience none of these problems. Maybe give it another try if and when Spotify’s extra layer on ad logos and banners wears on you.

I could not believe Sundar and the team around him for a simple unforced error: "That’s why we re-oriented the company around AI six years ago" I suppose this was meant to reframe the conversation around Google being a leader, but

Made clear by your own list, you seem to think Medium has a content issue. The issue is how annoying it is to experience the content, not the content itself. And wow, quite a claim to say that creators are too busy to have lives worth writi

Whoa, whoa, and whoa. The technical hurdles they had to overcome - despite targeting lower resolutions, non-color screens - was considerably higher and more impressive because none of the scaffolding was there to support the work, and the s

Actually, no. Had he been drawn to a programming conference, I wouldn’t have been able to draw a line between the dangers he’d been near and those interests. But when you see someone in a situation, and see them drawn to the wrong things fo

Someone in my family died from fentanyl at 26. I knew him since he was a little kid. We don't know if they were aware of the presence of that substance, but they certainly were in a higher risk situation. They had a decent life and a l

He had a very successful business and Apple sales talked to him about modernizing his office and workflows. And then he promptly continued to use what he already had. Not an uncommon story even in 2023. :) But it did create a truly remarkab

Different states have varying legal requirements, though many tech companies anchor to California because it often sets the floor. So if you solve for California, you're likely solving for most of your workforce. In general, yes, at ma

It's not how it works everywhere. In fact it's likely not how it works anywhere at all. No competent business operator works this way. It's very much about improving a financial metric (say, sales efficiency) and understandin

Oof, emotions. My uncle took receipt of a Lisa in the 80s but didn't have much use for it, so he gave it to our family. Lisa was my first computer. I used to use LisaDraw as a very primitive city builder: rectangles with circles to rep

Yikes! As a starting point, I'd love for Workoutdoors to add a valid SSL and not index their HTTP site to Google. I tried this once on my Apple Watch Ultra and found it a maddening experience. I'm hopeful though that investment in

I think the concern is scalability. A very high performance per watt is a signal that it the processor design will be difficult to scale practically. Beyond that, at scale, is it good to have high-consumption computers all over the world be

For what it's worth, nothing about your response helped. This crowd has a fairly well-tuned bullshit meter when it comes to venture-backed companies. Your incentives are aligned to your investors, as they probably should be. The parent

I support anything that keeps the wonderful Miata just as it is. (Okay, fine. I more so support anything that keeps the earth healthy and sustainable.)

This is indeed a good library. Well done. An enormous amount of work. For those looking for an out of the box freemium option, Clerk.dev is fantastic. (I'm just a customer. No association or interest otherwise.)

As a leader of software teams at various points of my career, I have to completely reject this notion. In a poorly managed project, yes, the last 10% of a project is 90% of the work. A healthy project puts 90% of the work at the front: the

I'm willing to believe your claim that only N95 masks work, and other options do nothing at all, but what am I to do with seemingly reliable information that states otherwise? https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news

Tesla is certainly behind on FSD. What that team has produced so far is nothing short of amazing, but gosh, their boss sure hasn't helped their credibility. I can say that after experiencing the software of the BMW i4 and the Audi e-tr

It posted as I saved. I edited my comment to reflect that, though my point still holds. Calling it "a flop" is consistent with their recent bias (or pandering?) and ignores the substance of the matter almost entirely. Perhaps with

It's pretty odd that the Verge and Platformer have had wall to wall coverage of every moment of Twitter the past few weeks, including live-tweeting content sourced from (perhaps appropriately) disgruntled ex-employees. And yet here, si

Gosh, this is so not at all my world. I'm not very good with these tools. But as a fan of the original work, wow, this is just wonderful. I really enjoyed spending time with this post.

It’s worth noting Krispy Kreme continued with its Artemis donut mission nonetheless. Another victory for private space flight. In all seriousness, can’t wait to see this thing take off safely!

This is well beyond my comfort zone of knowledge, but I have to ask. If I throw an electron in, and have "artificial Hydrogen," and then throw a couple more in and have "artificial Lithium" — don't I actually just h
