Also the obligatory “It’s not A. It’s B.”

I think it looks ok from a distance. But up close it looks like a prop from the set of a Back to the Future remake.

It wasn’t so long ago that sleazy business types and serial entrepreneurs convinced the media that everything needed to be in the blockchain. Once that fizzled, everything needed t…

I say this as someone who is a regular user of TikTok and enjoys it: I don't see why something with the same intent wasn't presented years ago on the grounds of reciprocity. US soc…

And if it’s not kids it’ll be something else. My mom passed away a few years ago and she commented how she regretted spending so much time doing “outdoorsy” stuff with my stepdad, …

I also found that an odd statement. If you need a “why” analysts may not feel confident about Apple’s ability to deliver when it comes to AI, look no further than Siri and Apple Ma…

I’m not even kidding when I say ChatGPT could produce a better list of goals for Google.

> Modern browsers, believing they are being clever, hide the protocol in the URL bar. Not all, thankfully. Safari doesn't do this.

Disney's trend of tossing in a BIPOC LGBT equivalent of "Poochie" in everything they've made in the last few years is the worst kind of pandering. It took audiences speaking with t…

Who said this replaces PTO?

Not OP but I entered “real estate” and got an ear with hearing aid, a terminal, a bug with a play button, and a bowl of soup with steam.

Wonder why they decided to do this against an ICE 911 and not the Porsche Taycan? > "The Taycan Turbo S will take you from zero to 60 mph in a neck-snapping 2.6 seconds, though Mot…

Constantly. Edit: this prompted me to look into it and in my case I think it's an issue with recent increased protections introduced in Safari. Firefox seems to work for me.

You weren't kidding! > I'm OK with having failed at this part of the journey. If Groupon was Battletoads, it would be like I made it all the way to the Terra Tubes without dying on…

> This will work alongside iMessage, which will continue to be the best and most secure messaging experience for Apple users," said an Apple spokesperson. I could be wrong but I do…

Strange comment for Hacker News. Maybe the author wanted to learn more about COBOL and this was a fun way to explore that and share their findings. Not every personal project needs…

The most surprising thing about this is how bumbling and incoherent SBF appears. Crooked or not I would expect anybody to be able to convince corporate level execs to invest millio…

It irritates me more than it should, but I hate how virtually all major brands and sports teams seem to have the same “voice” on social media now. They all have this “desperate to …

It’s because of the nature of some these accidents and incidents by autonomous vehicles being under circumstances that would be very unlikely with even the most careless driver. Th…

> Mackey conspired with other influential Twitter users and with members of private online groups to use social media platforms, including Twitter, to disseminate fraudulent messag…

Wow. I casually enjoyed Minhaj's show on Netflix and the other random places I've seen him pop up. I also thought he'd be a great candidate to take over Trevor Noah's seat on the D…

There are other much cheaper models. I might not be finding it, but their site doesn't make it immediately apparent what the differences are to justify the huge difference in price…

My company forced a three day a week hybrid, despite major pushback from the employees and a lot of resignations after it was implemented. They’re now trying to nudge people to com…
