My post was not about manufacturers or liablity, so I don't know why you're arguing that here. This entire reply feels argumentative. To turn your car example around, a ton of regulations exist for safety features in cars. Why not

I’m having fun with this, made a real banger already. I’d pay to speed it up! Suggestions: - I needed to fix a few lyrics but wanted exactly the same style / song but this doesn’t seem possible? Setting remix similarity slider to lowes

> You don't injure yourself with existing saws if you follow safety protocols. Then people don't and get hurt, which is entirely from not following safety protocols. For what it's worth, this argument could be applied to a

Agree foldables are a good way to do product discovery! Yeah small M&A is great for advancing/derisking R&D for a given part or tech. They also embed / work closely with manufacturing partners. Nevertheless they're al

One thing about Apple is things can make sense for them to explore that don't make sense for others to. They have a big enough ecosystem, enough cash to do R&D on an idea for decades , and a culture of killing things that aren&#x2

"There's an app for that!" has become "there's an app for that?? " It's the same thing with things like thermometers, scales, and other bluetooth accessories that really absolutely deserve no app. Similar

I've always seen rotary engines as one of the best examples of a particular approach to design that solves something very elegantly but relies too much on one critical component where all the pressure of the design is applied. In the c

A review from Amazon on UV-K5: "Warning though, the USB-C port feature is misleading in some way: you can't get it charged with whatever USB-C cable you have, it needs to be a USB-C power-only cable with USB on the other end (like

Its amazing how many products have little moats like this. Things that are days to at most weeks away from adding to any product, but that no other product seems to care enough about to build.

If the potential effect of a message is rather harmful, it's reasonable to hold the veracity of that message to a higher standard of scrutiny than if a message is benign. This wasn't a good study, scientifically. Scrutiny was not

for those reading, GET is not a/the prescribed cure for mecfs, its contraindicated and is no longer broadly recommended (after a lot of controversy). It was once adopted as a recommendation but its the product of faulty science and a m

I strongly urge anyone dealing with these issues to look into the gut biome as a source of clues and experimentation. A lot is not known about the gut biome but we're discovering many autoimmune and autoimmune-like conditions are relat

PEM is post-exertional malaise, the hallmark symptom of mecfs and some portion of what we call long covid. It's brutal, trying to push through it can lead to permanent worsening of symptom severity.

Yeah, whether or not it's intentional, the approach taken is one that will generate a lot of feedback. I haven't seen anyone mention it in this thread, but my immediate reaction to seeing JSON Canvas was that it looks like a spiri

Obsidian's philosophy is file over app [1] and releasing a spec for their Canvas feature is fulfilling that promise. It's a strictly positive 'today is better than yesterday' thing for them to have done so. You shouldn

It makes sense if you see Obsidian as the starting point - it's a document store. While other canvas products may be more graphics-oriented, Obsidian's is about laying out documents and objects and providing simple relationships b

Excellent framing: Dopamine beats entertainment. Just see people with their smartphones out when they’re ‘watching’ a Netflix show. Or the unbundling of funny, often context-less moments from that show into bite sized pieces of dopamine, re

Yeah ideally. Given there are nearly 1.5 billion active iPhones tho, a lot (100s of millions) of users aren't going to understand the relationship between the prompts and the browser and/or know (/know how) to uninstall the b

It's not one additional prompt, it's a class of prompts that could be exploited over and over again. A single site could trigger hundreds by sites popping up in the background each which trigger it, and then the user's home s

You don't want random processes firing off permissions prompts, you want them to remain meaningful to users on a platform else they'll get prompt fatigue. Think of all the prompts users see and just press 'ok' to.
