That's all fine and very good for the consumer. Now they just have to get the fuck out of PRISM and I'll start taking them seriously in the privacy realm.
I'm not arguing that, I'm responding to this part of your comment, by showing products the privacy obsessed segment are presumably happy with as they are paying for:

"Trying to sell something to privacy obsessed tech segment is a futile effort. They are never happy and don’t want to pay for anything anyway."

The main thing to consider here is that Hacker News probably isn't your audience. Unless your product or service is aimed at developers/software engineers first and foremost, the probability of it getting relevant feedback via Show HN is slim.

And to some degree, that's one of the big reasons why this community can be so harsh or mean. Because for the kind of person who uses this site, many of these Show HN projects feel like things they'd be able to build themselves, or which can be done better via some simple technical process. I mean, look at Dropbox. People here were real harsh towards that one, and didn't understand the market potential for it at all.

It's also subject to the same trends as other expert focused communities, in that experts in a field/creators in a field will usually be harsher towards others in said fields than the general public will be. They know how the work is done, and are looking for technical novelty in such rather than the content of the work.

So don't take it too seriously, remember that people here probably aren't your audience and that they're likely to be significantly harsher/more dismissive than the general public is.

The “file system” is not new, the files app is at least a year old. What they added now was just zip support (really needed) and USB sticks (I don’t care but many love this).

Don’t listen to all the whining podcasters that claim that ipad doesn’t have a file system. The files app and its integration into many apps works amazingly well, especially in conjunction with icloud drive. And you can access the local directories, so you can put a video file in the VLC folder or a PDF in the Acrobat folder. You can of course also AirDrop to the ipad already into these apps, but if you want complete control.
I like Lazarus' approach where it tries its best to provide you intelligent completion but if that fails it also does token/keyword/identifier based completion from what it can find in all open files and remembers from previously open files.

And it always, always, ALWAYS puts any word it knows/guesses that starts with the characters i type at the front before making any other suggestion.

And all that in interactive practically instant speeds. How the hell Visual Studio takes ages (ie. often several seconds) to complete a word i already typed a few moments ago on a 4.2GHz 7700K machine with 32GB of RAM whereas Lazarus happily completes words even on a puny Raspberry Pi, i don't know.

Anyone who writes IDEs should work for at least 6 months with Lazarus to understand how to do things right and if their IDE still provides a worse editing experience (i'm not expecting the entire WYSIWYG GUI and object design as this isn't really something everyone cares about, although it'd be nice) after that then they are doing something very wrong. I have issues with Lazarus with the overall UX being very messy, but the editing experience is the best i've seen.
Next up: Aaas, Anonymity as a service...

The bottom line is, only you care about your privacy, because you're the only one who can care about your privacy. You can do that by voting, and by running Free Software.

Effective privacy and anonymity are based on control:control of your software, control of your hardware, control of your life.

Everyone asking you for control in exchange for anonymity or privacy does not necessarily have your best interest at heart.

Apple's business model is about monetising control, and now they're extending that by ostensibly selling some of that control back to you. Apple will only grant you privacy as long as it doesn't interfere with them taking control.

I recommend the book "NAND to Tetris" to any software developers out there that want to learn bottom-up computer engineering. It's a great read. Following along and doing the exercises with it, along with watching Ben Eaters videos on YouTube, has been of the favourite things I've done in the past few years.

I'm lucky enough that I started my career in software as an EE. As a result, while my CS friends and colleagues can run circles around me when it comes to high-level website/UI/game design, anything C, ASSEMBLY, BASIC or VHDL related they'll come ask me. Knowing what is happening at a physics, to component, to circuit, to system level really makes software "click" compared to the top down way of learning from my experience.
Mass to contact area is a major factor, but it's not the only one.

Locking your brakes is not the fastest way to stop. What you want is to apply the maximum friction to the road, this means your brakes have to be letting the disks travel, and at very high speeds your disks and callipers get very hot, very quickly, at which point they stop supplying nearly as much stopping power, and you might in fact no longer be able to lock your brakes.

Anti-lock brakes (ABS) are an improvement, because they mean that if you over-brake (locking your brakes) they release them until the wheel starts rotating again, before re-applying the pressure. They're better than locking your brakes, but they're actually less effective than holding your brakes at the optimal pressure. They're just a lot easier to use than it is to apply that pressure manually (particularly as the optimum pressure changes as your speed does and the heat of your disks and callipers).

And something that's infrequently touched will likely be poorly understood and engineers will not have much knowledge on how to fix things fast when they break.
The shape of screens has been traditionally determined by 1) video applications (as video pros were willing to pay premiums, hence setting standards for the market to follow) and 2) the form of keyboards (laptops must be wider than taller).

Developers have had to fight this trend by figuring out screen-splitting hacks, whjen their natural workflow is inevitably shaped by Western text, so fundamentally vertical at scale.

If you step back, you'll see that vertical layout makes more sense than the horizontal one.

It’s not a dichotomy, so I will just say that in addition to circumventing the app store’s take, developers have users to “blame” for the race-to-the-bottom of the surveillance capitalism bucket.

As long as users will balk at paying even 4.99 for an app, developers will make them free and then engage in dark business models like surveillance and terrible in-app purchases.

To be fair and stop “blaming the victims,” this is a classic hard problem in psychology: The purchase price is an immediate, objective cost. Surveillance and the possibility of getting sucked into in-app purchases are subjective, uncertain costs with consequences in the future.

In aggregate, humans are really bad at making those judgments, trebly so when other humans are rigging the game to make the judgment difficult to evaluate.

What do you recommend the EU should do with all the US students that come here to study for basically free, because they can't afford it back home?

We have like 5000 Americans studying in Germany alone. Do you think we should send them back home because they're not gonna work here anyways?

Do you not believe someone should give those young people an education just because they deserve a chance in life?

Can we not do things on principle sometimes instead of having to justify everything with economics?
It's about permission. If I give a company a certain set of contact details, and they run some process to find other ways to contact me that seems unfair and beyond what I've given permission for. The fact that it's trival to find my real email from an alias I think is irrelevant - it's still an abuse of trust. Like I say, I can see a correlation with more invasive methods of finding other ways to contact me that I hadn't granted the company (imagine if they start contacting you on social media just because they could look up your profile from your name).

You could argue that a major feature of the GDPR is to legislate that just because a company can do something, doesn't mean it's allowed to do it.
I'm surprised at the lack of mention of the human chain, which is the most famous act of protest on the 23 August:

"Approximately two million people joined their hands to form a human chain spanning 675.5 kilometres (419.7 mi) across the three Baltic states – Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, which were considered at the time to be constituent republics of the Soviet Union."

A stark contrast with the article, which says "Only a few hundred people showed up".

You need to put human resources development as the number one priority. As of now these are not even political issues in India. Nobody thinks these are important things to do.

India started off well during its Independence, the first education minister(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abul_Kalam_Azad) and the first prime minister(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jawaharlal_Nehru). The idea was to build a highly trained workforce and an industrial base, and then they bootstrap each other. But India has kind of lost its way.

This what is said of first education minister:

Jawaharlal Nehru referred to him as Mir-i- Karawan (the caravan leader), "a very brave and gallant gentleman, a finished product of the culture that, in these days, pertains to few".[16] Mahatma Gandhi remarked about Azad by counting him as "a person of the calibre of Plato, Aristotle and Pythagorus".[27]

India hasn't had good quality leadership in human resources for a while now.

The current priorities of HR development ministers in India go on the line of rewriting history to propel their political propaganda, pushing things like homeopathy, astrology. Hating universities and academia, calling them elites who need to be eliminated for their political ideas to be taken forward.

You don't do much in Human resources building with these kind of systems in place.
I've met with a person who said "holiday is the enemy of work" and he really meant it. When he worked he wanted to work 80 hour for months when he wanted holyday he rested for months. For him mixing the two was just unnecessary complication.
This idea that "Me taking responsibility for my part here is me leaving." is simply stunning in how upside-down and backwards it is. I'm not sure what the point of marriage is if you show it so little respect. Tax break? Taking unfair advantage of somebody who is more serious about marriage?

Marriage absolutely should be a trap. That is mutual. One enters into this willingly, partly as a demonstration of commitment and partly to help resist one's own urge to be destructive. Willingness to demonstrate a high level of commitment is one factor in obtaining a high-quality spouse. Fewer good-quality spouses will be available if you show signs that you are ready and willing to abandon your spouse.

Remember, you're supposed to stick around even if your spouse is drooling in a wheelchair and smells awful.
> My experience is that on Android I had to have many third-party integrators to get things up and working

That you have to buy/install CalDAV AND CardDAV connectors is indeed a weird shortcoming of Android. On the flip-side you had the option to do so.

Also, in the age of everything-SaaS, a one time payment of $10 for basic infrastructure isn’t all that bad.

Different strokes to different folks I guess.

I never experienced Android to be that different (or worse) when using my own standards-based providers.

That said iOS feels a lot more coherent if you stick to Apple apps all the way. But not being able to set another default browser or email client is just weird.

Paternity is clearly and demonstrably a biological concept.
You can easily see this when pondering the idea of having sex with your parent, and the possibility of amplifying
congenital birth defects. Note that if a child is misled about his or her biological father, the probability of incest increases.

Be that as it may, paternity is one of the most important and impactful relationship humans have, many social rules, taboos and rituals have evolved around it, marriage being one.

I got typographic education, and the reason we limit line with on paper (think about the biggest newspaper you know), isn’t because the lack of space. I know newspapers that are bigger than any typical display you’d find at a work place.

Shorter lines are easier and faster to read and you don’t have to turn your head back and forth every line. This is what German Typographers would call a Bleiwüste, which means “lead desert” and translates to wall of text. And they call it that for a reason. Typographers use a wall of text when they want to disencourage users from reading it (legal text etc).

Column based layouts (like in newspapers) don’t work well with scolling pages, but limited line width certainly does. Scrolling doesn’t really cost the user much and on top of that smartphones limit the line width anyway, so users get a more consistent design.
Why would you NOT spend money on a calculator app if it’s better, or you just fancy it?

An iPad pro costs 1000 bucks and your time is probably worth around 100 bucks an hour, so if an app is good and costs less than 25 bucks you shouldn’t even stop to think before buying it.

A person with a well paid job that thinks twice about paying 5 bucks for anything he could potentially use for work even once is doing it wrong.
Apple unfortunately did not succeed at that vision, and all the damn Electron apps running on my Mac are proof of that.
Quite a long and comprehensive list. Let me tl:dr for the readers here:

- there are no adress conventions that cover each and every address throughout the world, or even the western world, or even the English speaking countries, or even the UK (article focuses on UK a lot)

- just save whatever the user enters as a (long) string and pray its a real adress, if not they'll be complaining because they didn't get your mail or product

- allow users to have more than one address, and let your system send mail to all addresses if there are indeed multiple entered by the user (to accommodate, for example, divorced parents that both want to get doctors notes)

Given that Tesla can supply those credits owing to its role as the first car producer to massively push EV over ICE technology and hence not produce common costs (CO2 emissions), this is a statement about Tesla and its position in the car industry in my book.

It's not a technological breakthrough, but in a world where common costs will be more factored into the balance sheets of those who create them, the fact that Tesla can be on the sell side of this and the trend to further quantify those costs might position them well.
