You've run a false equivalency in your argument. Growth is not representative of the entire economy. The economy is, in aggregate, much more than tech - they have the biggest publi…

It's unfair he didn't include the name of the app in the article (or it's unfair that I can't see properly, if he did). I want to see what this problem was he was trying to solve!

I think this plays a huge part as well. My wife and I were watching an episode of the US cop show “The Rookie” and they casually discussed paying a ticket for driving SEVENTY MILES…

You hit the nail on the head - Apple does not allow the addition of custom search engines at this time.

If they show me a single ad I will be cancelling my subscription.

Yep, people don’t care about the economy if they’re living on the streets.

Yes, someone still needed to be trained on the original copyright sheet music before they could train someone else. Ultimately the source of that knowledge was a copyright piece of…

I'm unsure what you're getting at, but when people sing copyright songs or act copyright plays that do, in fact, get a license. So yes, if you train a human on someone's copyright …

This is just good advice in general. The number one thing that has led to my career success (albeit at the cost of much stress) is following my Grandfather's adage: "Someone has to…

Type ratings are not prohibitive to achieve once a pilot has achieved an ATPL. It’s about 5-6 weeks per pilot. Yeah, it’s a pain but it’s also not a devastating road block. Ironica…

I actually have HN to thank for knowing this. About a year ago someone pointed out how useless the non-pseudo alternatives are. Colds are nowhere near as bad anymore.

Just a clarifier for everyone - a fuel emergency is not what you think it is. They don’t run until the last drop. While it indicates the aircraft should be handled without delay, i…

https://sim-atc.com Do online ATC on VATSIM and hated being unprofessional. Gives you airport names, abbreviations, and helps with some calculations. Surprisingly annoying to get a…

This exact same thing happened to me last week. I purchased a fantastic audiobook about Julius Caesar written by Adrian Goldsmith about 8 years ago on audible. I loved the content …

I wish Google would let me pay for Bard. It’s annoying me that they haven’t addressed the monetisation model yet. I want to start using it as a search engine replacement but I’m no…

I personally don’t. I used to lose my mind over the thought of my confidential documents being leaked. Then after seeing how poorly personal information is handled, I realised it’s…

I have a lot of interaction with Google Cloud Support, mostly around their managed services. I am genuinely not over-impressed with their service, considering with similar employer…

It has been alleged that Shein uses forced labor to make its products ( https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/01/shein-china-congress-forced-... ). Anecdotally, I have heard that there is t…

The law is the problem. The law requires explicit knowledge, so Amazon can get away with it. I don’t agree with it, but lawmakers should be making these changes.

Hard disagree with your sentiment here. The AGPL is what every company doing BSL stuff should have done. They will never deviate internally from their upstream repo, they have to k…

Same on the wrist. I have one of those mice with a trackball on top that you use by running your hand over it. Absolute game changer and not at all difficult to work (probably even…

I think people tend to forget that while there is a lot of money in tech, there’s a lot more money in money (finance) xD.

The problem is not that they wanted a cut. The problem is that they want to retroactively apply to all games that have ever been published and even those that aren’t using the most…

I like that this was sent using the Mail app and not Outlook.

I find it remarkable that they used laptops for this. Surely, a Dell server for $100k with good specs could have crushed a lot of these models. Could have just given them all Remot…
