I think most people here understand that this is a great story but not a realistic approach to how to get into big tech. The part that had me laugh a bit is: > Is it a coincidence that Apple was the only Big Tech company that didn’t do l

Yea all those geniuses missed COVID completely though. And then the market overreacted in every way possible causing a crash then a rally that compared to nothing we have seen. Not sure the stock market tells us much of anything

I’m just curious as a layman, why aren’t the paper authors helping in this race whatsoever? It seems a lot of folks are guessing on the recipe. I haven’t seen any communication from the LK from LK99. Seems like radio silence

This might be partially true but I think the bigger implication is that the donations do lead to overall more investment overall which leads to better universities. This is true with literally donations to anything… I battle our elected off

I’ll give you the reasons I bought a small RV over a trailer. There are always trade offs! 1. You can boondock much more discretely. I can move quietly from the driver seat into the sleeping area without letting the neighborhood know anyone

Yea... there were quite a few moments that felt rather cringe, dystopian, and weird at the same time. Honestly the entirety of the screen with your eyes for your viewers is a very interesting choice on Apple's part. I do indeed want on

I bought the $20 metal Amazon dupe of the stainless steel link band that runs $349 from apple. 4 years in and the knockoff is still going strong

I battled what I believe to be silent reflux for years. For me it started out as a weird persistent sore throat. Then after months I started getting bouts of nausea and a feeling of swelling in my ears and throat. After a lot of doctor visi

I’m comparing sentiment, hype, upvoting, etc on a particular topic. I think HN isn’t what it used to be but maybe that’s me having old man syndrome. People on HN are happy discussing boring apps on iPad and crapping on all things Google ins

My theory is there are a lot of folks that needlessly bought expensive ipads that sit around and collect dust when their kids aren't doodling on them. Finding out that Apple is bringing an app that could bring potential productivity to

People are anti everything on HN… the question is how much on what. There are a lot of people that defend the far and few apple negative comments. The only way to prove this would be by doing some data analysis. Maybe worth it’s own post

I find it interesting the sentiment in the comments... Yesterday we had an Apple post where everyone was losing their minds all day about Final Cut Pro on iPad (which in my opinion as a Software Engineer is the most boring thing I’ve had to

Why does competition exist ever? I think there are trade offs for everyone to consider before they blindly assume one will be the better option for every use case forever

I have had two MacBook Air m1 failures in my family that has started to change how I recommend purchasing a mac. They have 1 year warranties and one had logic board failure around the 18 month mark. It’s possible they last 7 years (I have a

I think a few problems imho: 1)they don’t do cross platform software well so they would never make a windows app, chrome extension, android integration etc. It’s either all or nothing which I would never buy into (even as an iPhone and mbp

Personally my theory is I think it’s less about leverage and more about real estate. Working fully remote at one of the most heavily invested tech companies, I have witnessed most of my coworkers that haven’t gone fully remote still work fr

Not sure if the OP is here but I’d recommend a cassette toilet, if you can find one in Japan. Having lived in a van it was the ideal setup for what you are describing. If there are plenty of public restrooms, you empty the cassette toilet t

Personally having Zume pizza in MTV deliver our pizzas at our office on a regular basis, I can confirm that the futuristic pizza box they used did not help them make pizzas that taste good. Honestly their pizza was terrible... but I suppose

Exactly! Sometimes when I’m driving I get a weird sense of a terrible crash that I couldn’t see coming. I should probably give the videos a break

I think it’s mostly caused by the folks making abrupt lane changes as the Tesla slows down. You can see people start to swerve into other lanes instead of just slowing down (they are looking in their side mirrors to avoid the slow car and s

I’m in a very similar predicament but the temperature where I’m at only go down to the 30s-40s mostly during the winter. I get some rebates where I’m at to replace a furnace so that brings replacement costs to be about equal between furnace

He is definitely changing course here (he has publicly stated he wouldn’t squash this account) but my idea is, one of his peons is enforcing some policy about automated scripts controlling accounts. Has anyone read the TOS or seen what has

Also similar to most pdfs and documents nowadays. Even though most documents will never be printed, people still separate typed documents by pages. I personally love the new pageless layout google docs has. Removes all the distracting margi

Yes, I think it’s newly suboptimal now. In the old days, remote work was rare to find so I think it was just difficult for folks to find situations where they could take advantage. We will now see managers/orgs figure out productivity

I think that this is a net negative for literally everybody except the ones that are taking advantage (and will be for them in the long term too). I personally can tell when someone isn’t shipping as much as they are capable of but I give f

Ugggh reading stuff like this is painful… this is the stuff that ruins remote work for everyone. I’d be more understanding if you spent your free time working on personal projects. It’s a different deal when you are misrepresenting yourself

Just FYI. After this rant, looked it up and apparently you can set in OS settings to allow for all websites, or deny for all websites. No granular control though
