Same with Airport Express which had a killer side-feature of a AirPlay-able line out. When mine goes I’ll be searching eBay for another one.

HN isn’t a community of luddites and articles like this get tons of people up in arms almost everyday. Same is true at most other tech sites. The point is that bad faith actions (forced obsolescence, surveillance, no commitment to security,

Yes but they quickly run the risk of ruining the in-person customer’s experience. In NYC the use of ghost kitchens[1] is booming. There are 2 within a block of my office - one is a multi-tenant space that serves several restaurants and the

Same for me and most travelers, but previously there hasn’t been much of a reason to care. If nothing else, now I’m glaringly aware that Southwest and AA are the primary U.S. carriers that fly Max’s. Chances are it would at least be a passi

You're spot on and what happened to the company as a result is tragic. Kodak pioneered digital camera technology, patenting their first digital camera in 1978 and developing a digital SLR in 1989. Unfortunately they chose to shelve i

That incident still gets me angry. Migrating wasn't a horrible experience but they way they went about it demonstrated they couldn't be trusted with anything remotely mission-critical.

Autonomous trucking is the only thing they're currently working on that I can see being a game changer. Everything else is a highly-competitive, marginal cost business with no moat.

The newest Above Avalon podcast makes the case that Apple is embracing secondhand markets and key to that is increasing device longevity. If it’s true they’re thinking about devices as likely to have multiple owners it makes sense to take p

Also a side effect of AMP and factoring in page speed in rankings. Publishers got bullied into AMP-ifying all their content and now their winning the recipes and movie review game.

Completely agree. Fragmented communities run by mods meant that reputations were built on time and trust rather than #s of followers. Influence in that sense was built by long-term commitment to a group organized around a specific topic. Th

Having worked with MySQL for years these are all legitimate issues but, as other users have said, they can be managed via upgrades and settings. Personally, I'm less interested in developer-oriented issues (which are well documented) a

Even if that's the only way it could be headed (and I think there's lots of room for variation) - The correct path for Uber for the next few years and through an IPO is hardly a given. They're currently far and away the marke

The per-message pricing is still way more expensive, but that's not nearly as bad as how they've dumped this on customers. If a PaaS provider doesn't realize that people build tons of code, businesses, infrastructures, pricin
