I'd love to be able to filter the feed so it only shows me actual posts by my connections. I do not care about comments my connections made on strangers' posts, and I surely do not…

Sure, but when people say something is 5x cheaper or 500% cheaper, what is the math that they are implying? That the expensive thing is 5x / 500% as expensive as the cheap thing?

What does "100x cheaper" mean? Costs are 1 / 100? If so, is there a more appropriate term to use?

There are a couple people I've met on HN, then emailed with, then met IRL. There are also some people I've known IRL, who then saw my stuff on HN and reconnected with me IRL. The f…

Yeah, like I said, not talking about the boonies. There are plenty of lovely places that are >10km from those two cities, but which are still close enough to services and infrastru…

Can people live cheaply in the outskirts and work remotely for a foreign company? Or would that still not get you on track to be able to buy in/near Seoul?

I'd think Starlink will help change this. Not for living in the actual dusty Outback (which has its own risks/dangers/inconveniences), but for living in many other places in Austra…

Does she use hers for anything else? Do you ever use them with guests, or does the lens/glasses issue prevent that?

So you have two, one for you and one for your wife? What is it like watching a movie next to someone, with both of you wearing headsets? I would have been much more likely to get o…

Can you explain how Apple would make money in the medium-term (let alone long-term) if they used this feature on fully-paid devices? Also, they have now officially said it won't ev…

There weren't a lot of details regarding rollout. Does clearing this one hurdle allow them to roll out across the US? I would think that states or local governments might have rule…

> Klarna spokesperson Clare Nordstrom tells The Verge that if customers miss three payments in a row, the company will “terminate the lease agreement and the customer will need to …

I wasn't referring to the purely financial angle. I meant that whatever news is driving this apparent valuation change could have impacts on other companies (like ones that are hav…

I used to listen to and read NPR. Since about 2015 they've been slipping, and at an increasing rate. After submitting several corrections, none of which were heeded, I have stopped…

So is this good news for the companies that have taken a hit as AI stocks have climbed, and semiconductor shortages have rattled investors?

That gets it backwards. They're not doing this because they want to make devices that are less compelling purchases, but they are aware that their coming pipeline will in general n…

What do they do to your Mac if you don't make payments?

Interestingly, Apple is apparently going to be able to nerf the devices if the customer misses a series of payments. [1] Presumably this ability means that Klarna has a lower risk …
