"We had a bug in our code, I fixed it" I've seen this so many times where the same individual introduced and fixed the bug, it is now funny. This is corporate team level equivalent…

What if "owning" here means the same as "owning" any movie online. If questioned, I can already imagine someone defending that sort of agreement as a standard consumer, contractual…

> The best opportunity to counter China was with full cooperation from the rest of the world. The policy and the keyword should have been collaboration and not cooperation.

The whole affair and the blog post feels like proxy signal to potential investors from OpenAI that they have now developed/acquired tech that is worth enough to grab Apple's attent…

Can you elaborate on the plausible deniability part. Was your past employer trying to make best of the situation by hoping to fish for information about your next employer's projec…

> Where in the heck are the efficiency gains? It has been the opposite for us. It is now being weaponized by PMs and leads to add more work for developers and not less in terms of …

Yeah Firefox split view is useful for this. If any of those vim extensions support link+split, and allow interaction with splits that would be even better.

> Firefox only survives because of Google, and that's so they don't hit antitrust problems. Yes, that is what I meant. They should be hesitant to lockdown completely and (grudgingl…

It can and will most probably turn to indefinite time depending on the answer to the question "will we have a viable alternative to jump ship before that happens ?". We don't need …

I have tried the word you mentioned along with few other words together and there were no issues. It doesn't have to be a replacement. Anyone who has ever been in the physical pres…

I think complex Sanskrit words are difficult to roll off the tongue and pronounce if read in a dry manner specially if you don't already know the words or meaning, which unfortunat…

The debate should have been about why there is even a "standard" tip not what the standard percentage is. I think the vocal minority advocating for tipping are probably the ones th…

Customer focus means not just resolving issues or having a reachable customer service, it can also be pre-empting the need to reach out to customer service by making the product is…

> card acceptance has gone _up_ in my experience. Yes acceptance may have gone up, but I think thats a side effect of normalizing digital transactions popularized by UPI.

Just thinking like if something doesn't grow in winter, is it because of lack of plant's adaptation or is it because their primary vector for seed dispersal hasn't adapted to survi…

Makes sense but honestly if you've spent more time testing and working around the nuances to build consistent experience doesn't it mean you actually need more standardization to e…

It doesn't even have to be censorship of speech. If you are wrongly charged a significant amount by either Google or Apple and their service is of no help, what would you do? Most …

Its worse in a different way. I mean when people complained about Apple, the standard reply was "if you don't like Apple use Android,it's open! ". Now when people complain about An…

Raise it at whatever level we can. I've seen more outrage on HN posts about license changes than those related to this. I mean we are in the midst of one of the biggest rug pull of…

What happens if you "accidentally" become persona non grata with both Google and Apple? If you want to participate in the society, you will forever have to resort to shady tactics.…

How long before someone builds an ssh/rsh type shell experience on top and project it as "natural language shell" for dummies.

> The US, under Trump, is a foreign policy disaster. This administration only removed the blinds on what has always been an adversarial policy, allies included. If given a choice y…

A healthy competition is always good for the customer but I have my doubts on the healthy part. A flood of fly by night products with low effort mess is going to lower the trust in…

Can I pay for a movie, hit record, sleep in the theatre and play it back when I get home? I pinky promise that I will close my eyes while recording. Its still the same photons hitt…

> just because of that edgy wannabe way to go about naming Microsoft. I think it stopped being edgy and transitioned to a symbol of user frustration the moment their CEO tried to a…
