That sounds absolutely insane. Doesn't Google have any way to dispute the business ownership? Can I take over any business on the maps by just registering a domain that contains th…

Your pictures give insight into such a small world, individual freaking transistors on a CPU chip! Reading textbooks and wiki is one thing, but seeing silicon spliced up and photog…

Oh man, I loved that game as a kid. I did not have internet back then, but I didn’t care - I spent hours playing against bots. I still remember the voice taunts and callouts (“I sl…

Is this personal attack on consumers really needed, especially here on HN?

You're describing an iPhone. I've switched from Android to SE2 in 2020, and bought 15 last year on release day to get the type-c charging. I feel it ticks most of your boxes: * exc…

They did? I missed that. It hasn’t lasted even ten years, has it? I remember reading the Domains announcement and thought to myself - “you have to be a fool to trust Google to host…

Empirical evidence. I've tried some fake brick sets, most of them were obviously not as good. The QC is worse for sure, but it's the little things - sometimes it's weight, sometime…

In my 2016 Mazda 3 the physical selector is superb - rotating it scrolls through on-screen CarPlay buttons, pressing it activates the highlighted item. Way less dangerous IMO than …

With only difference being that you can buy non-apple device with different features, while Bell was pretty much the only option people had.

Mottos like that live their own life. Take google’s “dont be evil” - people remember that, and see all the evil shit google does now, of course they are going to recall the motto a…

How so? I am oblivious to this aspect of the bill, it looks like a net benefit to users. How is this going to benefit adtech?

Turns out grammar nazis were a thing in ancient rome! Hilarious, I need to check out the movie, thanks for laugh in the morning.

What else can be a factor? Fishies libido?

It's really noticeable and really frustrating. A few days ago I've found myself searching in DDG, then switching to Google since DDG gave me no useful results. The first page was b…

What does the article indicate then? Everything working as intended? I am wondering if the pedestrian that was dragged six meters by a autonomous machine felt much safer. The AVs d…

This is such a silly argument. Let’s call it “m” then - it’s even easier to type, so should be an even bigger win, right? Thousands of scripts and workflows be damned.

Still not an equivalent to what Google and Meta are doing. Google and Meta are everywhere on the internet. Google controls the most popular browser. The volume of data that those t…

Would you recommend me some? Thanks!

Fascinating. I love the different rituals that humans all over the world perform for their dead, there is something morbidly beautiful in all of it. Haven't heard of sin eaters bef…

As if you dont need nodes, pods and a runtime for Nomad. An ex-colleague “sold” us developers nomad once as an easier, better alternative to k8s. They used exact same arguments, an…

Looks really cool, the kind of tech fashion that doesn't scream "nerd!". I am a bit torn by they keyboard though - the primary labels are certainly not functional, and secondary en…

Have you seen Metallica live? Lars is allllll over the place with his drumming, to the point where "live" recordings are heavily edited. Nothing wrong with the editing, but if you …

I choose to use Firefox, for more than a decade. It does not mean I am a happy user, and it does not mean that I can't complain about Mozilla being shittifed year after year.

Textbook whataboutism. Google is objectively evil, what that has to do with Firefox, my "user agent", showing me Disney ads?

Do you think that the funds go to the top end engineers? I'd say that most of it goes to the bloated management structure and C-level employees.
