There could be gym logic at play. Hundreds signed up, 20 people actually exercising. Though it's probably more likely in the lower tiers.

As a Spaniard, neither is expected. The most censor-like behavior you get is a random mayor from a small town that decides to not support a particular artist of the opposite ideology for public funded shows and it goes viral. This is meta&#

Generationally yes, the oppo is more recent, but (AFAIR, I'm speaking from memory) the 17 improved just on the selfie and accesory lenses, the main camera remained mostly untouched.

Anecdotically, my current OPPO find x9 mops the floor with my previous iphone 16 pro in photography in practice. The 1-1 with apple only seems to be there for Google and Samsung, but the Chinese flagships are a step up. For video I think t

This looks like a straight LLM output and yet it's sitting third place in my front page. Is HN getting astroturfed recently? I feel like a lot of clickbaity low effort content makes the top but it might just be my impression/bias.

If our boots get anywhere near Moscow we get nuked. That's the issue, a belligerent neighbor that permanently sabotages you but which you can't ever get too close to losing.

I just started using windows after being on macOS since Vista. I planned to go full Linux for a gaming pc, but there are still some kinks, so dual booting it is. The shocking negative was the amount of ads and tracking I had to get rid of,

The main issue is that many apps will block rooted phones (banks, state apps and the like). Usually more trouble than it's worth.

>Nike is simply too expensive for the (lack of) quality they have. I always go to buy Nike first after decades of conditioning. These past years I always return. Outer soles are of a recycled material that slips and feels like packaging

The road is neither public nor neutral, and that's where the analogy breaks. This road is owned by a casino, and its signs are scientifically placed so that you take the wrong turn and reach their business. They place guardrails in the

Humanity is very biased for the culmination of work, considering everything that comes before and after busywork for the lower masses. Replicating a paper is just as valuable scientifically as publishing it, but how many careers advance thr

>It's insane that there's more profit in duping your users to spy on them and sell their data/information, than there is just making and selling a great product. And it feels like an inflationary behavior: people need mar

I'm not American, but if I'm not mistaken, you don't have election day off like in other countries, right? If so, how is that not clearly discriminatory for those who can't afford the time to go.

Why are you assuming that a document likely to be picked up and a good document are equivalent? We might be in for tech docs becoming SEO (LLMO?) friendly slop.

A sum of people with this attitude is what a megacorp is and why they're hated.

Isn't this mostly circular? Let pichai, nadella and friends hold the bag. We'll be fine.

If they can set a single machine as target every few years and make it work, that would be a lot better than having no alternative. M1 support is pretty usable nowadays, and I would imagine at least a fraction of the work translates to fu

Their amazing laptop hardware pushes you into their ecosystem. Once you're on macOS, might as well get iphone rather than Android and benefit from the synergy, same for airpods or the apple watch. The only reason I'd see support f

It is very possible to injure yourself with calisthenics. Shoulder impingement or tendinitis from pullups with too much intensity/bad form for example. Weight is weight.

Would the accused party have to prove compliance? Or would non compliance have to be proved by the accuser? Honest question, I'm not American.

Economics is hardly a reproducible science, but an American company has basically instant access to 350 million consumers (and workers) with no language barrier and little inter-state red tape. It's hard to imagine that this isn't

I know HN is mostly against regulation, but I'm very glad my country restricts mass firings, and particular stricter rules apply for companies that turn a profit. If you're generating benefits, there should be very few reasons you

It's a fascinating period to learn to navigate. It is very rare for a startup leader (usually very hands-on and practical minded) to be able to delegate and think strategically well enough to survive the transition. Sometimes they even

Man I wish they would just chase fads. They chase the most morally corrupt version of a fad every time, it's like their business is black mirror episodes as a service.
