Please, it’s a big drop in terms of percentage, but it’s absurdly large for what the app does.

In the hope there is a google employee reading this, i want to shout a big plus one here! The next time the chance to look at the latest Microsoft offering comes up, I’ll do it, using vanilla gmail is just so clunky compared to inbox and i

Ha! Well, at least we get to see some fun? Thinking this way, it sure does give you a sense of detachment from everything that’s going on. I’m undecided if that’s healthy or not? I guess it all depends if you have confidence in the Multiver

I take pleasure in knowing that on another timeline the US is a truly great nation that has managed to completely remove its dependency on fossil fuels, and is now switching its focus to helping poorer nations do the same. It’s just a shame

I suspect one day, in a distant future, we will discuss the issues of manufacturing with external forces ie gravity, and how only the best products can be made in environments we 100% control.

The core feature of Pagerduty here is resilience imo. As in, i expect whatever’s issue I’m having that they will not be having. I imagine if an AWS zone is down, large scale network issue, etc, any home rolled solution is likely to be impac

Yeah, this kind of sound a like a UX bug. Ideally the behaviour could be changed to match the way you’re using it, which is more of a wake up call than a call based notification system.

I can relate to this! Letting go of these thought trains is so very hard and keeps me up, my partner hates it when she sees my phone screen light up at night...i don’t blame her but ironically it’s a faster path to sleep for us both.

Hopefully "market forces" will cause this to occur as a by-product of this legislation.

Wasn't "Write" the name of the word processor that came with Windows 3.1? Edit: It was! https://www.google.ca/search?q=write+windows+3.1&oq=write+wi... Edit 2: I actually love this name. Hopefully you don

Recently my partner had a strap break on her Birks that were only 3 months old. Knowing the age and reputation of the brand, i assumed this would be an easy fix. She emailed them, but got an unexpected response of effectively “bad luck”. Th

I used Elgato devices, I would have got more pleasure from burning my cash. Biggest waste of time I've ever experienced in my life.

Haha, it’s rare on HN that someone gets a joke right. Well done! Edit: it was worth the downvotes, would do again.

This shocks me too. I’d at least like the option to turn off ads for an additional fee. No way will i pay and watch ads however!

For large appliances yes (AC/Oven/Stove/HVAC etc), that should happen, but for other issues it's 50/50 on if you'll get covered (probably even less). Single data point: I just (last week) had a title insurance

Thats the real point I was trying to make. It's just not how the money should flow, the incentive should be to protect the buyer not the seller.

Yep, exactly this. The bank needs to see a number so they can certify the mortgage. Unless it's something absurd, they generally just agree with whatever the sale price is. Which, if we're being serious, is fair market value by de

Sadly in the Toronto market, the issue runs even deeper. Home inspections are almost always provided by the seller, and if you try get your own, as the market is so hot, the sellers typically refuses to allow it. Home inspections are mostly

The funny thing here is we might already have the best solution to the "easy" automation scenario: Trains. It's a shame they're so expensive and require special tracks. If we could invent a hybrid train / car, that

I'd love to learn more about this! I hate the way this sounds, have not encountered it, but keen to share my distaste with Spotify by reaching out to them if this is in fact true!

Many medical research organizations have more money than they know what to do with. The heart and stroke foundation is a great example of that. I’m not suggesting we don’t fund these orgs, even reduce funding, but i feel like we could diver

I paid for my university tuition using eBay. I’d buy broken printers and repair them and sell them. Eventually someone started buying printers from me, claiming they were broken and getting refunds. They would open new accounts and do it un

I think you and I are in a similar thought pattern here. I only see a path forward for VR if those crazy treadmill / fan type setups become super mainstream and perfectly reliable. Even then, falling will never work! It's kind of

Humans use multiple sensors together at one. Your inner ear is a great example. If you see a picture doing one thing, but your inner ear feels another, this is the senstation that causes motion sickness. I cannot find the source right now,

Unsure why you got down-voted here, I've seen evidence of this (although not personally experienced it). I'd guess any public area where people who are the companies customer visits, where you end up complaining in public, ends up

Good. Today i called Amazon to complain something i ordered never arrived. No questions asked refunded. Needed it urgently so went to a brick and mortar store down the road to buy it. 3x the price, and they took 15 minutes to process my sal

I suspect the whole article is a joke. Nothing about it, including the attention it's getting, makes sense.
