I’d love to see this placed into the context of the (actual) average Joe. If you consider that the average person dramatically overestimates their reasoning skills and can’t correctly do high school level math, I think it would help underst

Hacker news is peak contrarian. If your stance was that this merger was incredible, your replies would be entirely about competition lol.

No, devaluing the 5th because they regularly have completely insane takes is logical. They regularly twist legal frameworks for completely out of pocket takes. Criticizing government actors instead of blindly trusting every ruling without r

Sorry for the confusion there, but I bought that up as a point that their rulings have been so bad that even the current, extremely partial SC, has been forced by the politics of the situation to slap down their rulings. It’s as if your own

Well judging how bad a court is by how many times this Supreme Court reverses it isn’t the best metric, that would require the SC to be a fair and reasonable actor

Adding the 4 missing Supreme Court justices for the circuits that don’t have them would go a long way to solving this in the short term.

This exactly, the 5th has the wildest and most twisted rulings to the point even the current Supreme Court has slapped a few down. Any reasonable person should be skeptical.

That’s a super thoughtful response, thanks. Also my armchair understanding is that HVDC electric is superior and our electrical grid needs the rework anyways haha

Yes of course - it depends on what lens though. If you mean "I'm learning to build better from this" then no, but its very informative on Meta's own goals and mindset as well as real numbers that allow comparison to inve

Honestly Meta is consistently one of the better companies at releasing tech stack info or just open sourcing, these kinds of articles are super fun

You’re right, I could have specified that even if you don’t use iCloud you have a keychain on iOS

You certainly can not, here's some more info. Passwords and the keychain are separate items. https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/441112/how-can-i-r...

Hey I can shed light on this. It’s the iCloud keychain. Disabling the keychain doesn’t delete existing entries. There is no way to modify the keychain on iOS (you can on Mac). Lots of apps store sign on data in the keychain for obvious reas

This is quite simple, cities are run by voters. Any property owner, and all the landlords, are incentivized to keep housing stock as low as possible. To get around this you need federal housing regulation to prevent local governments from d

That’s more of a statement of the monopolization of hardware access the App Store gives than it is him “piggy backing”. It’s not like you have a real choice without Apple being forced to allow software downloads via a web browser globally.

Yea and if the UX and safety are actually better consumers will pick the better, safer option in the whole. It’s like wow I have my entire life’s financial documents on my Mac but somehow downloading Firefox via Safari on my iPhone is so ri

Private companies still have fiduciary responsibility, but yes you’re totally correct about the private-for-longer incentive. So many paper only unicorns the public market isn’t accepting anymore

The entire west coast is really bad about its strategy for tackling homelessness. The central issue there is the federal government needs to massively ramp up housing, it can’t be solved at a local level (there’s a role to play for cities b

Pessimism is more infective than optimism. It’s also easier to be a naysayer, since most new ventures do failed you can point and say you were right regardless of merit.

What really surprises me in west palm are just how many of the housing communities post signage about being 55+, soooo much of the housing restricted by age. Sure, it’s famous for being a retirement community but I’m just so surprised it’s
