Some people are even using google street view to do this - not sure what the licensing rules if any are there.

A fair number of HN takes are snark and critique I think these days, it's a bit more reddit now? I think folks underestimate just HOW MUCH data google maps has and how many users it has, and the integration / scale is impressive p

Will this be EPR 2 style design? Flamanville has been super disappointing however in France.

I actually moved away from desktop. Lightweight web apps mostly in python (Flask). Slack apps / bots with a bunch of commands (backend does lookups, generates PDFs) People don't fully realize what we gave up dumping desktop develo

And you could really evolve it. Databinding was surprisingly good and easy and fast - still beats web in my view - autocomplete, panels / options groups / tabbed windows etc all worked well (and were fast).

They should have just billed you - they reversed the charges (for your own issue) and you aren't happy. I think folks are used to being pretty catered to. And yes, being able to play with 4TB databases in the cloud and huge GPU instanc

It's an easy way to do a config without a full importer and complexity in passing config around / looking it up. I like it. This goes way back. They give the example of a globalusings file. That's a cheap / easy way to d

Replace ".NET" with "Windows" maybe? AS a longtime original VB/Winforms developer - MS lost their mind on desktop development and didn't look back. They chased EVERY fad that could be chased. Silverlight, UPF,

I was an original iphone user, and have been hearing about how unrepairable and how battery can't be swapped since then. I'll believe the iphone is unrepairable when I see it. For those of your who suspect that these types of clai

"pushing total losses on those houses to more than $550 billion." How can this even be possible? These numbers make zero sense.

The point is having separate eeproms, separate bios flash memory, separate storage controller in SSD drive etc etc - apple focuses very hard on NOT doing any of that. They are CONSTANTLY pushing down part counts. The claim that there is &qu

My impression was they were also going to try and move the T2 off being a separate (potentially replaceable) chip and integrate it with the M1 - did that happen yet or still to happen? But one thing you get on a mac is basically hardware le

You are not in the business of shipping a million+ devices. * Any connector is a potential failure point. Generally with a connector you double the connection points (ie, SSD -> Connector -> now soldered to board). So if you are solde

The "unrepairable" apple devices have far FAR higher resale value and lifetimes than most the Huawei / OPPO / etc used phones out there. This is really the proof point. This is a combination of apples total system engine

Except if you pay attention to any of this you see that they mostly forward unchallenged claims, if they fit a narrative, and do not follow-up, offer no backstory.

My point is whatever approach apple is taking, I'm not getting a lot of spam on iMessage, and the one time I did it was pretty easy to mark as spam if I remember.

No - we are not going after both - the AG's take high profile low hanging easy target cases. I've personally tried to get police / DA / AG type response on a fair number of white collar type cases. Crickets. Stolen check

You can only be suggested as a name for someone else's photo if you've turned face recognition on. "If you’d like other people to see tag suggestions for you, you’ll need to turn on your face recognition setting." So you

We keep on hearing about folks needing to swap out disks out that are broken who ALSO don't have apple care AND are out of warranty? I mean, how many people is this vs the millions / billions of idevices out there? Apple simplifie

Does anyone laugh a bit at these types of comments? Using these "stupid" and "unjustifiable" approaches, apple has delivered highly reliable / fast machines to lots of users. They come with applecare if you want, wh

The problem is it's mostly coverage of the Tesla "scandal" stuff. And there is almost never any follow-up on this stuff. https://www.theregister.com/2021/03/26/tesla_labor_law/ ------ Tesl

No kidding - what garbage that was. That said, I think they were able to pump mobilecoin (as a nonprofit!) to something like 6x before the dumps came. After that I was gone.

No one has shown any credible data that the fatality rate driving a tesla is higher than anything. They go out of their way to ignore cars getting into pretty clearly lots of accidents. My expectation would be that Suburu WRX / Infinit

That's not how it works. You sue the driver, if they have insurance the insurance company steps in, after paying you out the insurance company can go after tesla.

You can see here how "journalism" runs to stuff that's not based on any data. 5 million + car accidents, and a probably total bogus retelling from someone probably not even sure what they were doing (ie, did she read manual?)
