what's the club buy in and annual fee? I instruct out of a 150 and $125/hr is the cheapest I can justify charging.

I think the vast majority's friction points with liquid glass come from the other changes, like the redesign of Messages and the calling functionality.

That's a solution that prioritizes privacy over reality, and I'm not sure we collectively want that. Mutilation of truth in the name of protection etc...

Was excited to read about a fascinating topic but the second paragraph under the 'Express' heading accidentally cites a virtual airline's website rather than Fedex itself — a problem that unfortunately throws into question th

The FAA puts on workshops around the country with a portable reduced oxygen training enclosure (PROTE). You sit in the enclosure (looks like a sealed vinyl tent), they reduce the available oxygen and simulate hypoxia. You've got a clip

Looking back, what was your parents' relationship to anxiety (especially low-level anxiety)? I have felt similar to your sentiment as I raise my 2.5 year old, and as I investigate more, true failure was always insulated by my parent&#x

This is tangent, but your comment reminds me of this essay that floats around HN every so often about how limiting school is. Young children are absolutely capable of greatness beyond what we ever ask of them, and most of us are okay with t

To be fair, it broke as an exclusive to the Atlantic about 180 minutes ago. The NYT now has it "above the fold" on their front page. Unlike a story coming directly from a public source, it sometimes takes a bit longer to spin up r

Why is your instinct, based solely on your observed experience, to reduce services for the entirety of the American populus rather than a less destructive route, like households opting out of mail delivery? I suspect it's because you

Spent way into the evening reading everything I could find on that link. Thanks for sharing. Woke up wondering how we preserve incredibly niche write-ups like this. Feels very much like Geocities the way it's hosted on a Wordpress subd

Perhaps. But go work at a grocery store or warehouse and you will observe the vast amount of plastic film used (and discarded). "Shrink wrap" covers palletized boxes and is used as a method to group cargo. Once you realize how muc

I've enjoyed reading trip reports from the beautiful lunatics who complete the Pittsburgh to DC ride in under 24 hours. Here, one reports on falling asleep several times while riding: https://chrisshue.com/2020/01

I find younger generations fascinated when I explain how Gmail was "invite-only" in its early years. Some of my earliest archived emails are conversations with random forum friends who I provided with one of my six allotted invite

I beg to differ. An uncle purchased a beautiful lot for me right next to the Sea of Tranquility decades ago. Part of the selling point was that there isn't imminent domain on the Moon!

Even worse is that "ice is possible warning" uses the same tone as other much more critical alerts. My number #1 pet peeve on my 2019 Rav4.

As a journalist who has been involved in newsroom analytics at three organizations since Twitter launched, I can assure you that most online news outlets have seen very little to no referral traffic from Twitter in nearly a decade. Journali

You make good points about the routine shifts in influence and interest over the generations. Running with the "RC airplane" example, it's probably true that the traditional internal combustion hobby isn't picking up ton

Curious, does your town/area have an airport? During Covid in Bozeman, I spent too much time tracking inbound packages. With I-90 going through town, most quick-shipping packages either came in via truck from Billings (after the air fr
