Honestly, I think it's only polarizing here and among some developers.

I grew up even further north, so I'll be fine ;) Plus, work from home! You just don't go outside!

Personally, I'm waiting for it to release before jumping to conclusions. It's possible it's weighted so this isn't an issue, or the magnet is just strong enough to hold it in place but make it easy to pick up. Apple&#x27

The WFH is a huge part. Just moved from a tiny 1 bed near downtown LA to a 3 bed place in Chicago with lower rent. My girlfriend and I both get our own offices, we have a yard, and enough places that are half open nearby that we're pre

Sure, but likely, more of those $100k options will be worth $0 than $200k. If you spread it around, you're more likely to hit big.

Both the phones and smart speakers start listening on wake words. I haven't seen any thing to suggest the smart speakers are constantly listening and sending everything to Amazon/Google/Apple. But both clearly could be consta

I don't think every startup CEO is falsifying bank statements to show millions more in income to their own finance department and investors than they actually have.

Yup, I lived in Chicago only a mile from the Lakeshore Bike Path and almost never used it after a few run ins with distracted drivers and almost being hit. I use my (not Peloton) stationary and Peloton Digital all the time though.

I have to imagine the percentage of people that can, let alone will, use a web browser attached to their TV is <1%. I don't blame Apple for not putting effort into it.

That's a bit of hyperbole to go from fitness classes to owning hospitals/churches/food.

Amusingly, it is not launching for Harvard students this time around. The campus list seems very odd and scattershot.

What subreddits do you frequent? I've yet to find any that match HN's comments and content, but I haven't tried super hard.

Is it weird that 3 tech companies (Palantir, Corsair, AirBnB) are IPOing or starting the process to IPO at the same time?

Ah at least for Uber (unclear on Lyft) it is able to be set by the drivers: https://www.uber.com/blog/california/set-your-fares/

Are they not able to set their own prices/minimums? I just had a notification pop up this week at the airport that the nearby drivers were charging more and I'd need to accept a surge price or wait longer. I'm not sure if thi

The last cab I was in, the driver was asking my girlfriend how to get where we were going (Chinatown in LA from downtown...not exactly challenging), which she didn't know because she doesn't drive. He was rude to us both the entir

That's 172,000 dead with all the (somewhat) strict measures being taken.

As far as I could tell Scroll Reverse reversed all scrolling, so when I walked away from my desk, I'd have to kill it to use my trackpad normally.

In the US, EVs and hybrids will be required (I'm unclear on the details from the articles I've seen though) to emit artificial noise under 18.6 mph by Sept 2020, and in the EU, under 15 mph by July 2021. [0] Hopefully that will he

I use Android and iOS constantly (mobile dev), and iOS's multitasking on the iPhone X is as easy as Android's (swipe the bottom of the phone, same action as double tapping the app switcher icon on Android). Same with split screen,

A phone and a computer are used in very different ways. Even now, I probably use copy/paste once a week on my iPhone, and at least once an hour on my laptop, often more.

Yeah, with Covid, a ton of apps were offloaded for me, and once I started to safely venture out into the world again, a bunch of things were missing (Starbucks, Lyft/Uber, etc).

I don't see the connection or implication. Cats are true carnivores, while humans are omnivores.

I've done Startup School for the past two iterations. I really enjoyed meeting so many random founders in each meeting, but we spent more than half of the meetings just getting to know each other. Some of my meetings had 7 teams! And t

One fear I've heard from Sys Admin friends is that you'll have another drive failure when the machine tries to boot back up (and possible data loss if you're only running RAID5). As I understand it, there's a nonzero cha

As someone with a name completely unique in the history of the world (so far as I have found), there are certain advantages! I wouldn't be surprised if people do this more often in the future. It is pretty nice that if you Google my na

They were cheaper for me until I realized they don't cover earthquakes, and then they became much more expensive than bundling with USAA sadly. I'd definitely be interested in them for most types of insurances though. They're

Definitely people care about blue vs green bubbles. Have you ever tried to send videos back and forth between the two? It looks like it was shot on my old Nokia flip phone in either direction. Plus no "typing" bubble, texts seem t
