You've run a false equivalency in your argument. Growth is not representative of the entire economy. The economy is, in aggregate, much more than tech - they have the biggest public companies which skews how people think. No exclusive

It's unfair he didn't include the name of the app in the article (or it's unfair that I can't see properly, if he did). I want to see what this problem was he was trying to solve!

I think this plays a huge part as well. My wife and I were watching an episode of the US cop show “The Rookie” and they casually discussed paying a ticket for driving SEVENTY MILES OVER THE SPEED LIMIT. I went and checked and in LA the cost

You hit the nail on the head - Apple does not allow the addition of custom search engines at this time.

If they show me a single ad I will be cancelling my subscription.

Yep, people don’t care about the economy if they’re living on the streets.

Yes, someone still needed to be trained on the original copyright sheet music before they could train someone else. Ultimately the source of that knowledge was a copyright piece of material that was licensed appropriately. Yes someone may t

I'm unsure what you're getting at, but when people sing copyright songs or act copyright plays that do, in fact, get a license. So yes, if you train a human on someone's copyright content I do expect you to have a license to

This is just good advice in general. The number one thing that has led to my career success (albeit at the cost of much stress) is following my Grandfather's adage: "Someone has to do it, and it might as well be me." I strugg

Type ratings are not prohibitive to achieve once a pilot has achieved an ATPL. It’s about 5-6 weeks per pilot. Yeah, it’s a pain but it’s also not a devastating road block. Ironically if you hear some airlines talk about the whole point of

I actually have HN to thank for knowing this. About a year ago someone pointed out how useless the non-pseudo alternatives are. Colds are nowhere near as bad anymore.

Just a clarifier for everyone - a fuel emergency is not what you think it is. They don’t run until the last drop. While it indicates the aircraft should be handled without delay, it’s also not going to fall out of the sky immediately either

https://sim-atc.com Do online ATC on VATSIM and hated being unprofessional. Gives you airport names, abbreviations, and helps with some calculations. Surprisingly annoying to get airport data.

This exact same thing happened to me last week. I purchased a fantastic audiobook about Julius Caesar written by Adrian Goldsmith about 8 years ago on audible. I loved the content and the narrator was great, I listened to it four times. I g

I wish Google would let me pay for Bard. It’s annoying me that they haven’t addressed the monetisation model yet. I want to start using it as a search engine replacement but I’m not willing to change my life that much if I’m going to get in

I personally don’t. I used to lose my mind over the thought of my confidential documents being leaked. Then after seeing how poorly personal information is handled, I realised it’s almost a guarantee. A few things from Australia (which has

I have a lot of interaction with Google Cloud Support, mostly around their managed services. I am genuinely not over-impressed with their service, considering with similar employers of size on AWS the support experience was always wonderful

It has been alleged that Shein uses forced labor to make its products ( https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/01/shein-china-congress-forced-... ). Anecdotally, I have heard that there is three towns where a predominant

The law is the problem. The law requires explicit knowledge, so Amazon can get away with it. I don’t agree with it, but lawmakers should be making these changes.

Hard disagree with your sentiment here. The AGPL is what every company doing BSL stuff should have done. They will never deviate internally from their upstream repo, they have to keep it maintained to make it worthwhile. Yes, they can relic

Same on the wrist. I have one of those mice with a trackball on top that you use by running your hand over it. Absolute game changer and not at all difficult to work (probably even more sensitive tbh).

I think people tend to forget that while there is a lot of money in tech, there’s a lot more money in money (finance) xD.

The problem is not that they wanted a cut. The problem is that they want to retroactively apply to all games that have ever been published and even those that aren’t using the most recent engine. Also, there are cases where a developer migh

I find it remarkable that they used laptops for this. Surely, a Dell server for $100k with good specs could have crushed a lot of these models. Could have just given them all Remote Desktop sessions too.

But even then they’re not going to proactively stop it, it’s up to devs to monitor their bill and go “wait we’re getting bombed”. Their whole approach is terribly sloppy and unprofessional.

The problem is they now want to license the engine as a separate product which they didn’t do in the past. Previously, you paid your license fee for editor and any game you build off that is deployed and you could stop paying them. I guess

They have actually released something like this in the last day that says if you use their ad market there is no per device fee. It was on HN this morning.

Ironically of course, the standard of living for the average Australian hasn’t changed over the last 20 years. Growth means nothing to most Australians, because ultimately, the money doesn’t wind up in our pockets. Politicians and rich peop
