Not surprised. Too bad nobody is gonna do anything about that or other crazy shit Beijing is doing.

That's a pretty cool article. Would be limited to potentially fertilizing gardens with their leavings. Couldn't eat the worms since there would be plastic particles still in their guts.

Now with the added bonus of taking your personal data, location, etc, because it's in your contract.

I'm kinda in the same boat, except I smoke hookah occasionally. Like, once every four months or so. Guess I'm addicted?

Take a look at the headband. It’s going to fall apart in a year with constant use. Almost every other pair of headphones in this price range offers replaceable headbands, and many of them can be customized with off the shelf products.

Unfortunately this is a poor substitute for real physical connection with other people.

You can get some really really good headphones for 500 dollars... even some basic custom IEMs for that price. Somehow I feel like the audio quality and build quality is not going to be as good as the companies that actually make headphones

by torgian 6y ago
There are headphones in that price range that are much better sounding too, I bet.

Yeah, I agree. All the scientists that I know who are using a programming language, are using Python because it’s easy enough to learn how to use and it’s powerful for their needs. I really don’t see Rust being used for anything other than

I'm kind of in the same boat. I like savory foods, although I also have a bit of a sweet tooth ( but am able to control it ). My problem is the same though; I eat till I'm full, so I've been curtailing that by eating more pro

Cost effective, but most likely at the expense of paying low wages to super smart people

Lol. You can’t work only five hours a day _and_ still “give a shit”, according to the article. Sounds like someone full of himself. I’m never going to work more than 8 hours a day for a company, preferably less even. I still get more stuff

As a new Linux user, I don’t think I agree, at least not 100%. I picked Linux Mint, and found it quite easy to install and maintain on my AMD desktop. All the drivers were already there. The only difficulty I had was installing Docker, but

I actually still have a 5s that I barely used due to country zone restrictions at the time. It would be cool to unlock this and get this running on a Linux os

I actually have Linux as my main work OS ( Linux mint ) and have been enjoying it. It’s user friendly enough to get started and if you can read instructions, not that difficult to install software ( even when some may be more difficult than

Not just health care, but income as well. Now, I live in a third world country, and have had cancer scares and other medical checkups that only cost me a few hundred US dollars vs. the tens of thousands that _would_ have cost me if I had li

Don’t forget it’s not really “wireless “ charging; it’s a two handed operation to take the puck off. Might as well just use a usb cable...

In East Asia, but especially in Taiwan, Japan and China, people from the USA are usually called American. Normally, when asked, I state I’m from California or the US. I think it’s just a language thing here. It’s easier to say America than

HN Is fine, I was referring to the site linked in the topic

Decent article explaining the prices, and also the influences of taxes and import duties. But the author kinda makes it sound like it’s Apples fault for their price ing in India. Really the government’s fault for imposing such high duties a

Interesting to note that this site is blocked from people living in Taiwan.

The problem I run into sometimes, is when I use only HTML or CSS or native javascript to accomplish something. Someone will always ask "Why aren't you using the <library's code> here?" Answer: "Because it&#x27

Or we could just use html, css and native javascript without using libraries. Sure it’d make coding harder but the user experience would probably be better. Or maybe I’m just talking out of my ass here.

Great, but if there was enforced quarantine for a month or two, we’d be fine by now. Too bad this is going to last a lot longer...

I’m wondering, would the MagSafe feature destroy cards? I usually put my phone in my pocket without cards, but occasionally I do put it in the wallet side.

Well I live in taiwan, so it’s easy to find someone to swap out the battery. I might upgrade to a 12. It’s a nice number; 6,12.... 18?

Honestly I’m a little torn between the Mini and the Pro models, simply because of LiDAR. I kind of want to experiment with that and potentially make an app utilizing that. But I honesty can’t think of something that Apple hasn’t already inc
