After seeing all these posts here and not hearing much about it outside of this space I’m starting to think that the cost benefit analysis that Apple did was that the profit from very likely convincing parents to spend a little more to get

I love the throw away, first draft, not edited, conversational nature of HN. I love hearing and engaging with people from different places and backgrounds on here, but I guess this place is more like a message board/chat room than what

I’m just not sure that the investments being made downtown will be successful long term. There’s very little high density housing for sale, it’s easier to buy in the loop in Chicago than in downtown Detroit. And at the same time, non visito

Things like the district Detroit, the Hudson site, going back farther Comerica. These projects all used public funds and over promised, and undelivered.

I live in Detroit and as our downtown core and few other inner ring neighborhoods have grown exponentially the rest of the city has not changed or lost population. Our mayor is currently challenging the last census, but it’s looking pretty

Buzzfeed news has some suprisingly good content. Like, Pulitzer Prize winning journalism now coexists with listcles and quizes.

I feel so confused by this, and maybe it’s my own ignorance but I assumed they were checking for known abuse images. I always thought I paid the Apple tax to avoid other companies tracking me not the government. And the more I read the more

I’m not sure if those are current policies. I fit every tag you mention and find TikTok to be the most welcoming space on the social media scene. It could be a fluke, and I could be dumb but I feel and heard as an obese neurodivergent queer

I hope you get some free press out of these outraged people, maybe they can do you a solid and help your company go viral and get it in front of the people who want it!

I understand the point you're trying to make, but unless they're excluding white people from subscribing I have a hard time accepting it. An industry that comes to mind is haircare, there are tons of brands and a long history of c

They explictly say that they're trying to break out of homogenous black programming. Obviously being black doesn't correlate to a consistent personality, but it does in many ways lead to a shared experience that someone who is not

The United States is 76.3% white ( https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/PST045219 ), it's not a division it's a number, there are just literally less people of color in the country,

In a majority white country you don't need to say x for white people, because that's the default. X for minority group isn't a double standard, it's a deviation from the norm. For example, it's pretty common to have

I recently had a friend stay with me after being abused by their partner. The partner had paid for their phone and account and was using that control to spy on them. I wish that cyber security was taught in a more practical way because it h

I think it's also shown in time. I've had jobs that paid me more than my current one, but I was paying for that by my personal time being completely abused on a regular basis, even if it's just a small thing or 3 daily it end

This is the first hn thread I’ve been unable to finish due to bias fatigue (usually it’s oh, I guess I should be working) I don’t feel that I’ve learned anything new, but I feel a schism with no resolution.

I’m not sure what to make of the back and forth here. Colorism overlooked by older generations, and someone looking back on not supporting unionization and having a value shift, juxtaposed with Maoist shaming to support someone who wrote a

“This is a moment of American exceptionalism,” - Jen Psaki, is she critisizing him or praising him? I find that statement extremely clever.

The article mentions influencers as a revenue stream and I personally love makeup and make purchases and recommendations based on a creator building a reputable brand. I would like to see that model in more spaces. Make up brands give influ

The ask questions section is so important, and not just for Junior devs. I used to be afraid of asking when I wasn’t sure I understood and I’ve learned so much about how to do my job and how people think from always asking now. I wish I had

For me, I have colleagues that have made it clear they prefer email to a slack or call. I don’t care either way so I think it’s on the person who doesn’t have a preference. It makes professional relationships better to do those Tiny things

To add to this, there’s a lot of neurodiversity in the programming world. A lot of people have brilliant brains that just don’t work well with interaction. I had a discussion with other people on my team recently and realized I was the only

The "movie business" is far from dead, there's an insane amount of production now and the breadth of those productions is far wider. The only death is the exclusivity of the industry, stories like the movie Tangerine (shot on
