Why do you think there's something to be gained here? There are a lot of cheap and easy checks this content fails that it represents a well formed argument based on reality.

To me at least this appears to be a smoking gun for the creator not being able to function in good faith. Whether that's intentional or self delusion, who knows. From the page itself, "A modern auto paint shop emits volatile organ

I think there’s a simpler explanation. Apple’s always uses a type of product metric that most companies don’t use. Those competitor products don’t care about phone battery drain, so they aren’t even trying to do anything about it.

Please re-read what you’ve written in these two comments with a critical eye. You’re speaking from a lack of knowledge without very much care and reaching incorrect conclusions that agree with your initial bias. When someone else does the w

You were demonstrably wrong three times in your comment, misrepresenting the reality of both sides of the argument and the prevailing opinion of humanity. The fact that one side doesn’t have the tools to confidently reach that conclusion is

Which doesn’t matter in the slightest. What’s our best understanding of what’s objectively true? That one side is actually stupid, insane, or evil. I at least, am out of patience for sophistry as if this is just a normal and innocent differ

You’re probably going to think I’m very presumptuous but I’m going to say this anyway in case it is helpful for you. If people are frequently offended when you speak on a topic you’re probably being offensive somehow through content or deli

I think you're accidentally telling on yourself here. You're looking at somebody getting a result which is surprising to you but rather than being curious about how they might be on to something you're turning off your brain

I’ll second what my sibling poster said but also… From my perspective iOS already has pretty good call/text blocking. Are you sure you know all the existing features? For calling, there’s a built-in contacts only mode behind a single o

Just a bystander but you just quoted this: > My whole premise is that it doesn’t have better than human intelligence. Everyone glosses over how we go from ChatGPT 4 failing its own unit tests to geometrically self-improving hyper-intelli

The Clean Water Act was amended in in 1977 to add the phrase "adjacent wetlands" specifically because of contention on this point. This was after the Army Corps of Engineers and the EPA had fought and settled into an agreement on

Why wouldn’t they be able to multi-app? As far as I can tell this is double talk. “If we have to W2 them we will make a condition of employment that they can’t be clocking hours in multiple apps at once.” That is the only explanation I can

Your claims are pretty extraordinary and demand extraordinary evidence. How exactly are they not adequate? How are they being treated as if they aren't working? How are they dangerous? The one source you provide is embarrassingly poorl

It would be great for one or more of the founders to do a postmortem write-up once any dust has settled. I had high hopes for Ink, seems like a shame. I'd imagine this comes at the end of a lot of work to get things transitioned so it

It is always interesting to see how people interpret statistics. I would describe Android users as a younger demographic who live spread out across cities, suburbs, and the country. I would describe the iOS users as middle-aged rich women w
