The default: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/sandboxing#filesystem-isolat... already restricts writes to only the current folder. I can understand adding the "denyRead" for the hom…

Why does it seem like many parents are unaware that a hand me down iPhone can be heavily locked down with screen time settings? A list of things you can do: - allowed list of apps,…

This whole discussion reminds me of the beautiful design of UTF-8. They used the lower bits to be ASCII which made backwards compatibility so much easier. It also reminds me of the…

When you hear about unions in software, stop thinking about auto-workers and think about NBA players instead: https://nbpa.com/ Lebron James and Stephen Curry are in a union and th…

Amazon already openly stated that there is no data to support RTO: https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-andy-jassy-no-data-re... https://fortune.com/2023/08/03/amazon-svp-mike-ho…

These are also hard to measure: * Employee happiness * Less sick employees since they don't spread their germs in an office * Much lower attrition and retention of institutional kn…

This line from the article "...in the number of calls handled per hour by employees of an online retailer that had shifted from offices to homes.." shows that this study is about a…

Where's the data? Before COVID, there were plenty of anecdotes from remote companies about how it helped their hiring and productivity, but that wasn't enough to convince the vast …

What was the #1 argument against WFH before COVID? It was fear of productivity drop, that the company simply can't function with WFH. Then COVID happened and companies worked fine …

We don't need to guess at this, companies like Amazon already admitted there's no data to support RTO: https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-andy-jassy-no-data-re... https://fortu…

USB 2.0 is a missed opportunity for bringing Stage Manager/screen mirroring feature from iPadOS to iPhone. This is already possible with iPad and a USB A + HDMI -> USB C adapter (p…

Main reason why I like this change: single cable in the car for both Android Auto and CarPlay. It was so annoying having both in the car.

California has CCPA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Consumer_Privacy_Ac... Could this be used to force these companies to delete all personal data? It would have to be don…

I was thinking about a similar idea while reading the HN discussion on NASA's Deep Space Network issues. For the Artemis moon mission, instead of wasting precious DSN bandwidth, wo…

People in this thread are really talking past each other. I've been to the nice Asian mega cities with great and clean subways and buses. And I've lived in the American suburbs. Yo…

We need to stop thinking carbon chemical fuels are the problem. FOSSIL fuels are the problem, not carbon fuels itself. We should be blanketing every inch of desert with solar. And …

This changes my perspective on the Android phone support situation. I always thought it was Qualcomm's fault because they didn't update proprietary binary blobs and so it was impos…

This is why I think it's ridiculous when car rental is recommended as a solution to the range issues of EVs. There is so much friction, have to shop around to get a good rental pri…

That's a great article and shows exactly the issue. The bus system has become the transportation of last resort. It's not meant for this and isn't good at this. It's only good at h…

This whole thread exists because the public bus system is a failure in the US. How many threads on car dependence has there been on HN? The bus system is used only by the lowest in…

Here's a radical idea: disband and shutdown the public bus system. Before you reply with an angry post, read the rest of the plan. These systems take hundreds of millions of public…

Does the California CCPA apply here? I've only seen it discussed for websites, but does it work for any company doing business in CA? Wondering if California residents could send a…

We have let the perfect become the enemy of the good. With the urgency of climate change, current grid infrastructure, and battery technology and production, the solution we needed…

There are two versions of the S22, Exynos (Europe) and Snapdragon (everywhere else). Is it correct to assume that the Snapdragon S22 is not affected by this?

Why is this still true? I can understand in the past, but after the rise of all the tech companies and obvious important software they use everyday (Android and iOS) how can anyone…
