what's the club buy in and annual fee? I instruct out of a 150 and $125/hr is the cheapest I can justify charging.

I think the vast majority's friction points with liquid glass come from the other changes, like the redesign of Messages and the calling functionality.

That's a solution that prioritizes privacy over reality, and I'm not sure we collectively want that. Mutilation of truth in the name of protection etc...

Was excited to read about a fascinating topic but the second paragraph under the 'Express' heading accidentally cites a virtual airline's website rather than Fedex itself — a probl…

Not only that, but he's regularly updating it. I really quite enjoyed his 'Nine Things I Learned in 90 Years' essay: https://edwardpackard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Nine-Th...…

Watch out - in some circles, it's cool again to be using Yahoo Mail...

Given that Prime now displays itemized orders purchased at Whole Foods, imagine getting your Amazon account flagged/banned for your mistake...

The FAA puts on workshops around the country with a portable reduced oxygen training enclosure (PROTE). You sit in the enclosure (looks like a sealed vinyl tent), they reduce the a…

Looking back, what was your parents' relationship to anxiety (especially low-level anxiety)? I have felt similar to your sentiment as I raise my 2.5 year old, and as I investigate …

This is tangent, but your comment reminds me of this essay that floats around HN every so often about how limiting school is. Young children are absolutely capable of greatness bey…

To be fair, it broke as an exclusive to the Atlantic about 180 minutes ago. The NYT now has it "above the fold" on their front page. Unlike a story coming directly from a public so…

Why is your instinct, based solely on your observed experience, to reduce services for the entirety of the American populus rather than a less destructive route, like households op…

Spent way into the evening reading everything I could find on that link. Thanks for sharing. Woke up wondering how we preserve incredibly niche write-ups like this. Feels very much…

Perhaps. But go work at a grocery store or warehouse and you will observe the vast amount of plastic film used (and discarded). "Shrink wrap" covers palletized boxes and is used as…

Tangentially related, but I enjoyed the brr.fyi three-part series on re-entering "normal life" after a year at the South Pole: https://brr.fyi/posts/redeployment-part-one

I've enjoyed reading trip reports from the beautiful lunatics who complete the Pittsburgh to DC ride in under 24 hours. Here, one reports on falling asleep several times while ridi…

I find younger generations fascinated when I explain how Gmail was "invite-only" in its early years. Some of my earliest archived emails are conversations with random forum friends…

I beg to differ. An uncle purchased a beautiful lot for me right next to the Sea of Tranquility decades ago. Part of the selling point was that there isn't imminent domain on the M…

Even worse is that "ice is possible warning" uses the same tone as other much more critical alerts. My number #1 pet peeve on my 2019 Rav4.

I'm seeing major latency even on HN now.

It's comments like this that keep me coming back here. Thanks for sharing!

As a journalist who has been involved in newsroom analytics at three organizations since Twitter launched, I can assure you that most online news outlets have seen very little to n…

Most schools have maintained this for the past 40+ years.

You make good points about the routine shifts in influence and interest over the generations. Running with the "RC airplane" example, it's probably true that the traditional intern…
