I don’t fawn, I just pay and use-and-forget. It’s almost to the point where it’s a little mental bump when I have to make a browser use it again, setting up something new. Kagi has a pile of features I’m not getting the benefit of too, I’m

This is, in every actual sense of the word, “problematic”. Even being charitable and ignoring those who claim that reddit is a cesspool, a single source here is bad. Really bad.

I’m late in responding, but yeah… No particular duty on the part of the police, including in the middle of someone killing you, and all (see the book “Dial 911 and Die”).

Since it looks like you’re the author, well… “you’re (that’s) socialist.” Given you’ve (ironically or not) opened with a threat to murder anyone who makes this claim, via “I’m tired of being calm about this. If you so much as whisper ‘that’

When this is so clearly theft, how can the police just claim “it’s a civil matter”? They seem to like that excuse, I know… but gahhh!

No, it won’t be. If “AI” doesn’t improve past that, it will have failed. If it has improved past that, I won’t have a future job, and neither will you.

As someone else mentioned it IS entirely problematic how advertisers/others abuse people, and I get WHY location gets stripped. I still think it's abusive to take away the user's choice. (and why do they have to strip almost

To quote all of the "don't submit" from HN guidelines: Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. If they'd cover it on T

So how do I get a Sr. Dev job in London from US public sector?

Generalized, noting there are always exceptions: many CS lessons seem to be needing repetition among Node.js users, in the general sense and where CS wasn’t really taught. Mistake? Gah. Probably in a lot of cases. The ecosystem around it is

And now some suspicion starts setting in. Granted, someone is going to have multiple runs of “bad luck”, statistically.

The kinds of things you want here, and that I think we all do, are hard. Yes, ideally a trusted intermediary would do something like… read your digital ID (which stiLL doesn’t guarantee it’s you providing it, up to a point), examine a birth

Wasn’t them finally implementing competent (if overly annoying) iCloud MFA the result of this kind of thing, with social engineering/photo leaks from celebrities or something? It takes a public scandal, and all.

You don’t need the App Store to install most apps, and can just download .dmg or even .zip files with them; I feel like only a handful of developers go full-App Store-only (with good reason; it not only imposes extra restrictions on certain

Re: AI writing: AI tends to (and might be getting better) use commas for such claims, in the form of, “it’s not just X, but [optional:also] Y”. Even if it feels sus, remember that AI is trained on what it sees: even the posts here will make

Even a small claims filing in the US, which might have a $10k limit, does damage to Apple far enough above the effort it takes them to “just intelligently fix it” to make it worth their time. If Apple doesn’t show up, they’ll lose and the f

What kinds of stacked cross-promotions like this exist, and even work out financially for everyone?

“Do not redeem the…! WHY DID YOU DO THAT!?” lol They’re great entertainment pieces, and almost a commentary on the state of the world through the lens of microeconomics, with both sides behaving in a way they think is best for them. For t

I don’t know. You can’t buy the kind of loyalty that treating your customer well earns you (nor buy revocation of the spite that treating them poorly does). Particular airline like United makes your life hell, or even behaves sloppily and h

I’ll extend this, seriously, to the 3-2-1 model. It’s all fun and games, rhetorically, until someplace burns down.

The US has just proposed making the ESTA application process mobile-only. As an example of one. Banks requiring device attestation may be a pain in the ass, but it’s not a “requirement”; they (for now) still have websites and, usually, a ph

No, it doesn’t require one… but you won’t be downloading anything from their App Store without one, leaving your only option for getting software onto it “Xcode after you build it yourself” since there’s no side loading. Xcode’s ability t

Not so. I just traded in/upgraded (on a Verizon contract, but AT the Apple Store; maybe that affects this… but still paying Apple directly) and they handed me the new phone and had FedEx send a trade-in mailer that I had a while to sen

The only “use cases” I’ve seen are discount or niche. For example, Target and Bass Pro Shops/Cabelas in the US both offered some kind of 5 or 10 percent back/discount around Black Friday on gift cards. Niche would fall into, gener

What’s with the completely bullshit cookie thing and my understanding that the EU required a simple “reject everything”, versus this “you can click reject 100+ times, otherwise press agree or pay us”?
