I think most companies have realized there is substantial value in terms of security maintenance, stability and the contractual obligations associated with SaaS vendors versus inte…

This is a real return to form for Apple. It's fun, pricing feels spot on for this market segment, the continued success of early M1 machines I think proves the spec limitations wil…

Assuming the Neo is broadly available, which it very likely will be, the price will likely continue to come down. The used market will be strong on Neos. It's never really going to…

I'm not sure this really makes sense. The single core performance for the iphone chip is leagues ahead of anything even a couple years old. They can likely increase clock speed of …

I have an m4 pro MBP, 1tb storage and 24gb RAM. Not seeing any reason to consider an upgrade whatsoever.

This is likely a generalized problem with basic science. In applied science you need to be very careful about fraud because ultimately the application of research findings will end…

I pay 20$/mo for chatGPT. I find searching through websites for information feels very outdated. I have some websites I specifically visit (e.g. aggregators like HN, journalism lik…

Energy overproduction is going to become a serious viability problem for baseload generators, which in time will significantly affect grid reliability. Rolling blackouts will becom…

I mean this is true, but I think its more realistically like the appraiser doesn't want to create a situation where it tanks a sale if they can avoid it. When I bought my house in …

Biden has said he won't enforce the ban and Trump has said he will keep TikTok from going dark. Shou is attending the inauguration. Ivanka and Kai are posting actively on TikTok. I…

Oh shit, I accidentally `git reset HEAD~1` and moved the last commit to file diffs, which was a merge to master, and my file diff now is both the last branch merge and everything I…

I have to imagine Apple is working (very long-term, slowly) towards either a unified OS or a true overhaul of ipadOS that addresses the concerns. They just are fundamentally not in…

Fwiw you can set their router to bridge mode and use your own. It is probably still doing some traffic analysis but certainly no ad injection. This is what I do to get unlimited da…

I don't really understand the consternation about this. AI was still providing initial labeling and confidence intervals on every interaction, tagging a feed of questionable/unsure…

Local housing policy only sets housing costs explicitly if they override market forces e.g. via rent control. There are plenty of examples of how the market responds to this type o…

In their example (Seattle) this is already the case. I've seen this software in action, the rent price for each unit is available online but fluctuates day to day according to mark…

There is no reason to move off of Apple's App Store unless you are explicitly trying to avoid their fees, which pretty much only applies to revenue generating apps that stand to pr…

I'm sorry, I don't think you have sufficient perspective on what middle class life is like in France to make this comment with any justification. French taxation is incredibly comp…

New iphone ships with a beautiful braided USB-C cable that's charge only. I'm going to cannibalize the usb-c cable from my external nvme drive if I ever want to plug the new phone …

How is this going to solve anything? Unless the school itself has skin in the loan, currently the only impact of bankruptcy discharge would be on private loan operators (who would …

Even if no one is skipping step C, the enforcement mechanism requires auditing. If there exists an alternative to step C, is it compliant with the regulatory requirement? The regul…

My experience is the opposite. TikTok curation is incredibly efficient at honing in on the content niches that appeal to you. My TikTok feed feels very personal, I regularly intera…

The movement towards renewables and away from reliable, inexpensive fossil generation will continue this trend in years to come. Gas generation is increasingly economically unviabl…

Not to defend SF but there are about 30 US cities with a higher homocide rate, that don't get nearly as much attention. SF is absolutely overrun by homeless though.
