If you remember Windows Phone 8, it has already been tried and nobody (ahem, no company) wanted that. No company is stupid enough to give up their content and infra and get none of the screen real estate. I can see a parallel with hotels an

You have to manually start the change, it doesn't do it continuously. For the vast majority of services, even if this action fails and the wrong password is saved (!?) you're still just a "forgot password" click away.

I'm surprised that they're working on HB cures since there's been an HB vaccine for 40 years. I'd love to see more work done towards other incurable viruses like HSV (no vaccine) and HPV (limited vaccine)

Isn't half the selling point of antiretroviral therapy that you're no longer contagious? https://i-base.info/u-equals-u/ U=U probably does not apply to all diseases for the reasons you mentioned though.

This is why I love Apple's Hide My Email. I use it ALL the time and the unsubscribe button is always there. It's not the most polished interface, but it works perfectly. Also, for any subscription for which I don't use HME, I

Which it makes perfect since this it's the same company which "deprecated" MP4 support a long while ago in an effort to push to WebM.

Protectionism by who? By definition protectionism cannot kill your own country's car industry.

npm is so bad at everything it's insane. SIXTEEN YEARS of development and they can't even resolve a tree of dependencies in the correct manner unless you nuke the lockfile and node_modules. Dependency resolution is literally the n

Only the highest and lowest level jobs are available. Someone needs to report to shareholders and plan. If a PM can just write tickets and they get done, then you just need one PM. Maybe this isn't practical today, but in 2, 5, 10 ye

I'm not buying this argument at all. What jobs are available to humans if AI can do it all? I foresee everyone paying Anthropic to do anything . The only jobs left are manual jobs at small scale (think waiters, cleaners, nurses), but

Yeah ok. First of all, just because it sucks now, it doesn't mean we're still safe in just 24 months. Everyone was mocking AI 24 months ago. Second, most of the work out there is not at all about "production quality 3D engine

When news broke I was really confused how IPs with thousands of users would suddenly be more identifying than your home IP with one user. I'm happy that Mullvad actually explains the issue very clearly in https://mullvad.n

Sounds like it's CSS' fault then. I think that just like they introduced `display:contents` to remove wrappers, they should also introduce a way to group elements as if they had a common ancestor. :wrap(dt, dt+dd) {border: s

I think this varies by expectation. If you use voice, their response will be shorter and more human. If you write, you will get a whole article in response. This lets you get to what matters to you faster, as long as you're able to ski
