Yeah, his Channel 4 complaint was completely valid, but I feel like it would have been a better article about examples of poor implementation like that than just a blanket anti-kid statement, where most apps handle it perfectly reasonably.

I don't quite understand the problem here. On every device I use Netflix, it defaults to highlighting the last used profile. So essentially, it takes two 'OK's to login - once to launch the app, once to select the profile.

I noticed the same in Gemini. It would refuse to answer mundane questions that none but the most 'enlightened' could find an offensive twist to. This makes it rather unusable as a catch all goto resource, sadly. People are curio

Is Erlang considered CSP? I've always thought it wasn't really, and had its own thing called 'actors' which are id'd and can communicate directly, vs CSP which are anonymous and use channel messaging. I've alw

One interesting thing I've noticed in my life is that everyone that I've known personally preferred their early life and thinks the world is getting worse. From my great grandparents to me today. And each have their reasons, whi

I'm inclined to agree, but I grew up during the transitional years where both were available, and remember just so much broken glass everywhere...on the streets, sidewalks, etc. Maybe it was my poor neighborhood, but it was normal to

If you put a suet cage out, they'll usually go for that and leave your house alone. I used to joke that they'll let you know when they're out of suet, by hammering your gutters to wake you up at 6am.

Generally I'd agree, but you must not have seen their attempts at live events :(.

> Are you really going to be happy if you pay less in taxes but make up for it by paying tariffs? FWIW, there are proponents of something called Fair Tax, which replaces income tax with a national sales tax. Either 25 or 30% IIRC. I ne

Has that been recently? I've read the market has been brutal lately, but I haven't had to look myself, thankfully.

For comparison, last year I was eating a packaged slice of ham and bit something hard, a rock or bone or something. Didn't hurt me or anything, but still odd. It was small and white, but could have been anything. I threw it out. Lat

Same. I saw a show HN on this a couple weeks ago and have been borderline addicted since.

Nice! I browsed through the 1953 edition quickly, and it's very similar. So probably some updated version of that. I was just blown away they send you all that material for free by simply applying. This would have been before the in

When I was a teen, I applied to be an ATT lineman. At that time at least, they sent you a giant study guide that has everything one might want to know about electricity. I was actually blown away by the material. I've since lost it,

I don't really get SMS/MMS. It made tons of sense in the 90s when we were all on our little Nokia. Now, every device is internet connected. Email arrives in an instant. Whatsapp/Viber/FB Messenger exist and all provid

I go back and forth on this. A lot of people make good points. In the end, my final answer is - yes. I say that because I believe it's the easiest programming language to get something working in. And getting something working is wh

I think every language has its... people. Javascript, VB, you name it. That said, Rust is the only language I've ever actively avoided because of its community.

Yes I understood the post but the difference is that Brazil didn't have a burgeoning or top tier electronics industry at any point I can remember. The US did and slowly gave it away to cheaper producers. Further, the average American

Not at all - I'm not really taking a solid stance one way or another because I'm not an economist. My only point was that Philco was being used as an unknown crappy Brazilian brand example. It used to be an American company that

Oneplus still has IR blasters. I just use it to turn the TV off when the volume is too loud and the kid has lost the remote.

I think durability on old Thinkpads is way underrated as a reason people love them. Me, as a 250ish lb giant, have stepped on one multiple times without so much as a creak. Granted, it was on accident each time and I'm sure perfect he

The economy has not been 'strong' since at least 2019. CPI is a joke that just subs out everything when it gets more expensive. Oh food is only up 3%, let's ignore we were pricing beef and eggs and now we're subbing in

Not for nothing, but Philco is/was an American brand. The Phil is for Philadelphia. The fact that Americans don't even recognize it anymore may make a better case for the policy than against.

Sitting congressman Massie also has a few videos on YT about buying a wrecked Model S to scavenge its battery to power his house. Not quite the same as it's just one big battery, but cool idea nonetheless. They are rather short and sh
