Mobile-only is a larger segment and growing. "ipad kids" are at the age where they are "iphone teens". And it's also the segment of people who care most about phones. Apple made smaller phones, but they don't

We can do this now, but I don't think the user experience makes it worth it compared to casting. Bandwidth limitations require lower frame rates and responsiveness, which is fine for video but bad for interactive apps (most phones are

A lot of people who are "mobile-only" prefer larger phones. > But I have big hands, and I can't use my iphone 17 now without two hands. I've never been able to use a smart phone with one hand, even an original iphone.

The USA had the power to prevent corruption through a variety of mechanisms (banking, trade, military, legal). With that capacity diminished, corruption is going to flourish everywhere. Which is the point: once the first domino falls, the

It's not their place to adjudicate the actions of the current administration. That's the job of the courts and Congress. That both are complacent is the actual issue at hand. This should be handled exactly the same way it would

They have not changed. They still maintain this "enlightened centrist" persona, while claiming "both sides are the same". And their social commentary, if you could call it that, is very tame. They did briefly lean int

Government agencies (foreign and domestic) will just be just a few of the many buyers of this information. Private companies buy up this information like mad. It's so cheap - five figures gets you a database of every person over 18 in

A) Don't flush your wet wipes please. They go in the trash bin. B) They make bidets that are trivial to install/remove. I have one that connects inline with the water lines and it took like 4 minutes to install. But you can als

Maybe just have Claude rebuild the app in a non-scummy way. Analyze the site for the relevant data APIs, while avoiding the tracking stuff. Maybe someone maintains an MCP for these popular websites so people can use agents on them.

There's a solution to both: 1. Not make web browser general-purpose runtimes for arbitrary software. 2. OS builds a general-purposes runtime that's completely sandboxed. So users can run more complex software without needing to w

You can't make them pay. And even if you could, real people wouldn't see the revenue. It's far cheaper to buy local politicians.

Hand out pamphlets at the voting station with your name and, "I'll get Flock cameras removed." That's probably all you need to do. It depends on where you live, but some local offices are decided by as little as a few d

Sounds like your argument is that wealth is objectively a good measure of a good life. Below some level of wealth, your life sucks, above it, it's great. You're just pointing out that it's not linear, but sigmoidal. There&#

Rain usually just cakes the dirt. Unless it's a downpour, it doesn't move with enough velocity or volume to remove the dirt. So the dirt just gets damp, maybe moves a few cm with gravity, then dries as a mud cake.
