> single new product category since the Apple Watch

They released the HomePod and AirPods as well as a range of new services e.g. Apple Arcade, Apple TV+, Apple News+, Apple Fitness.

And we are expecting two major changes to their product offerings over the coming year or so i.e. ARM Macs and Apple Glass.
I've used OneNote religiously for a dozen years as a daily notes app, but the Mac and Web experiences are terrible and I'm just sick of it not syncing tags across my machines. And now I have a new laptop and as far as I can tell the ability to add tags to shortcut keys is just gone. Why???
Right, thank you. There seem to be a few instances in the article where there's either more complexity than needed or missing/incomplete information

Show HN: Hackable No-Code Tool for MVPs
I'm one of the founders of Abstra, a hackable no-code tool focused on making MVPs quickly aimed at coders (not necessarily developers).

Could you please share some feedback? Anything is extremely valuable, thanks!
Sounds like the green messages are doing people a favor by pointing out garbage people who discriminate against someone for not using iOS.

I'm just claiming that there is a valid use case for making it abundantly clear if a conversation is happening via MMS versus iMessage, so I didn't take it as a way for Apple to somehow "lock" people into iMessage...especially since plenty of other chat apps are a few taps away with no degradation in usability.
> Apple is now the best mobile processor house in the world

Will likely be the best laptop processor in the world as well.
Ah, but Orwell had no idea how much convenience we can get in return for shedding our privacy and learning to love the state.
That's not fair, I haven't watched (or even thought about) Altered Carbon in years!

You really think that humanity is going to selflessly and democratically release this technology for all or even most? You really think that the tycoons of today and tomorrow are going to let an opportunity to "live forever" pass them by? When they can continue to hustle and rule their empires towards perpetuity?

There is going to be an class imbalance, and it will be big, because the formerly cliched topics of life and death are the very focus here: the poor will die, and the rich will live on. It will start fires that will grow out of control in ways we have never seen before. Think of the environmental implications -- you think environmental destruction is bad now, wait until the planet ossifies under a parasitic species seemingly incapable of self-destruction, short of the kind of end-of-the-world scenarios that science fiction portrays.
Google tries again, again, and again, to create a decent messaging app, and fails every time. Whether it's bad marketing or management, it's clearly not the simplest thing in the world to achieve what apple did with iMessage (unless now you want to posit that the billionaires in Google also have no idea what they're doing ever) and the discussion is relevant especially when we are reviewing their management style.

Will you be interested in availing this package? Why or why not?
Because when freely and quickly writing notes, being able to freely and quickly jot down a table is enormously helpful.

Source: I use org-mode for project notes, and they do end up with a lot of tables.
I also suspect "allemansrätten" is more a result of low population density than some unique nordic sharing culture.
Oh, yes, the stdlib does pretend the world is a piece of data. But it does a very good job on keeping this hidden from any developer, so this is more of a compiler design that does not leak into the language.
Nah, not even close (but I can see someone getting that impression from the landing page). To various extents it can replace:

- a task manager
- an outliner
- Jupyter notebooks
- Evernote (and other bookmarking and note capture systems)
- LaTeX, DocBook, and equivalent (although you fall back on LaTeX for math)
Not necessarily. Life in Canada is monetarily not so easy. Tech careers in India are more like America of the 90s. Companies popping up every year, a large bidding ecosystem and yet most population is not even fully super educated.

A tech worker in India can hire someone to come home everyday and cook hot meals while they themselves work on side projects or their startups or maybe even buy a motorcycle and take a trip around the country (barring covid). Such lives are pretty much impossible in Canada, even for a developer.
End to end encryption. If you’re using iCloud with iMessage Apple has access to your messages.

Oops. I worded poorly. What I wanted to ask was what type of dev work.
Reminds me of "crash-only software" as embraced by Ericsson/Erlang.

We just need to work some more on the dark matter repulsion drive, or the parallel universe reaction mass extraction drive. Or, the "belch of god". Still figuring out what the belch or the god part of that one actually are.

Or you fire off refueling packs ahead of the trip.
I think in general you are right. But appreciation for being outdoors comes in different flavours. In Sweden I think many children have been imprinted to appreciate friluftsliv through Skogsmulle, a kind of fairy tale cartoon character, usually an adult dressed up and taking small hikes with children in a nearby forest. While there, teaching kids to not throw trash in nature, about Allemansrätten and its freedoms and responsibilities.

Another could be the emphasis to learn many types of flower and tree species in biology in school. When I went to school I found that boring and useless but have later realized it being part of building a closer familiarity with the outdoors. Like ancestry in some ways.
Perhaps the HN crowd could enlighten on this. I have heard that there is not as much emphasis on this abroad.

A third example, the focus on Orienteering as a sport in school. When I went to school, it was certainly the most emphasised of all the types of sports we learned and practised in gym class. The only one that got it's own day regularily. I think it was once a semester, reliable as clockwork.

No, it's much richer than markdown, and a single glance at the manual would probably have prevented this comment: https://orgmode.org/manual/

I use markdown for documentation that I want to publish/package with something. I use org-mode for project notes and organizing.

> If Clinton had been elected in 2016, she'd have gotten at least two SCOTUS

Don't be so sure. At least three Republican Senators in 2016 (Ted Cruz, John McCain, and Richard Burr) suggested leaving Supreme Court vacancies unfilled during Clinton's entire term(s) if she were elected.
The x1 is a great machine, I've been using a work issued one with ubuntu for a couple of years now, I use two external displays with it both at work and home.
> To my mind, it certainly seems as if Apple is actually organized to simply refine the innovations of its past,

Apparently Apple can't even refine their own innovations without breaking their own kit and bilking their customers.

To wit, iOS 14 and watchOS 7 (most recent versions) break Activity and Health GPS data and Apple recommends using iCloud backup to resolve the issue. [0]

The problem is that not only is iCloud insecure (e.g. Messages) compared to local backup, it also costs money for over 5GB storage. [1] In other words, Apple has broken GPS with iOS 14 and watchOS 7 and their recommendation is to use an insecure service that will cost users more money.

Such affected customers should be represented in a class action lawsuit. (I'd love for this link to get traction, but I know it's a longshot. [2])

I've had issues receiving SMS messages for no apparent reason, despite living in a major city and keeping my phone charged. I went down a rabbit hole with some support people once on it and we never found the root cause.

SMS messages work almost all of the time which makes it really irritating when they don't.
Yeah, put the money towards people starting bars and restaurants. Make sure the internet is excellent. That would be a starting point.
Sure, but then people have options, and entities are forced to be competitive.
Innovation is also about what you say no to.

Folding phones today are a mess e.g. creases, durability concerns, inconvenient form-factors.
You'll need more than a USB cable if you've bricked it, even fastboot won't be accessible.
>The future looks bleak with China set to become the global leader

We get what we deserve. At least two generations have stood by and allowed the West and its influence on the world stage to be degraded and eroded without so much as batting an eyelid.

When one steps back and looks at what they've facilitated, one starts to see some reality in the "strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create bad times, bad times create strong men" cycle often touted.
If you do I highly recommend looking into using a reference doc. I struggled to make the markdown -> docx conversion until I set a few reference docs up to keep consistent style.
Yeah, I'm a motorcycle sports bike rider, so the police are my <David Attenborough voice>natural enemy...

It's kinda well known amongst my riding peers that some people "fail the attitude test" and end up way worse off than people who're at least polite and businesslike when pulled over. I've rarely "talked my way out of a ticket", but I've watched people talk themselves into 3 or 4 serious tickets where they could have "settled" for just the one relatively minor they deserved.

(I _did_ managed to escape without a ticket in San Francisco once, doing 100mph past a cop car on the Bay Bridge on a borrowed noisy piped Honda VTR1000 with a girl on the back wearing a blindingly white pure muppet fur jacket and a big fluffy glow-in-the-dark tule tutu. The cop car didn't trigger my normally well honed "cop radar" because in my head it was just a "movie cop car", not a real Australian Ford/Holden mortal enemy carrying sedan with our local highway patrol markings, so I just kinda obliviously cruised past him in fairly light 2am traffic into town. He light up his disco lights so I pulled over at the nearest exit, pulled my helmet off to reveal a grey-beard most likely older than his dad, and said in my broadest and fairly exaggerated Aussie accent "G'Day mate!" and told him "I was only doing about 100!" to which he said "Miles, you're not driving in kilometres now", and let me go with a warning to "ride safe, OK?" Pretty sure that was part middle aged white privilege combined with "way too much paperwork booking an Australian", with a little but of "Australians? We _love_ you guys!" cultural luck thrown in for good measure... But I'll take that rare win against them :-) )
The two group conversations I have on my iPhone that I interact with most are MMS, and often (once a week or so) I will miss part of a conversation and have to piece together what the heck is going on. More often I have a problem where messages send/recieve out of order (even if I'm stationary or using Wi-Fi calling to send), or one message will send and once will bounce so the recipient will get a picture with no context or a caption with no context.

None of us are on the same messaging services (besides Discord I guess, but that doesn't have good notifications), so we can't switch. This is on AT&T, but Verizon and T-Mobile have the same problem.
I don't know what "gimmicks" it may have which iMessage does not(although the in-chat polls are pretty handy), but IMO the big strength of Telegram is privacy. You can use it without revealing your e-mail address or phone number.

The situation of not knowing a single non-Apple user is unlikely outside the US anyhow.
Talent is overrated: http://geoffcolvin.com/books/talent-is-overrated/
I tried organizing everything with org-mode, and burned out a bit on it. That however wasn't org-mode's fault, but rather my attempt at "GTDizing" everything.

Now, I still use org-mode for project notes, at work or as hobby, usually (but not forcibly) one file that starts out very freely and gets more levels/organization over time.

The key for me is that I don't have to adhere to some organization, I can also just jot things down without structure or reason. But I may often reach a point where organization sets in beneficially.
U.S. Court of Appeals Upholds Stay on DOJ's WeChat Ban
The Bytecode Alliance veto of Wasmer happened the same day it was announced, on November 12 2019 (via direct message by one of their well-known members -now working at Fastly- to a Wasmer investor). Back then, the trademark was not even filed by the lawyers (if you look to the USPTO filings), so I'm not sure how the hostile actor argument could apply here (if we really buy into that argument).

As reflected in other comments in this thread, it's not in Wasmer intent to trademark WebAssembly. And we successfully course-corrected any actions way before it was even public.

We have been continuously pushing the limits of WebAssembly since we were founded. The success of Wasmer as a company solely depends on the success of WebAssembly as a technology, and is on our best interest to continue pushing it forward.

In fact, I'd argue that Wasmer has been pioneer in:

1. Open-sourcing the first working Rust WebAssembly runtime (wasmtime existed when I created Wasmer, but was not able to run anything [1])
2. Creating a Package Manager for WebAssembly [2]
3. Creating WebAssembly embeddings for non-js languages (PHP, Ruby, Python, ...)
4. Running WASI fully in a browser, including an online shell [3]

[1] https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/issues/142#issuecomment-4...
[2] https://wapm.io
[3] https://webassembly.sh
Considering the number of outsourcing companies in India, I believe we are very far from reaching the peak of product based India.
What's wrong with it? I use org-mode, and I find this site readable and useful?
Gotcha. So basically housing prices were irrelevant, you just don’t like Kalamazoo.

Which is fine. I was just trying to decipher your comments about housing.
Uber and Lyft has spent $3.7M on Facebook ads in California in the past 30 days
> But not no-connectivity access. Not everyone has connectivity all the time.

And that not even considering countries where mobile data is quite expensive. It's slightly getting better in Canada, but it was ridiculous how much per GB it was before the last year or two.
Apologies for the confusion! I picked BeyondCorp as there seems to be a number of references to it as a more general-cloud term than anything Google Cloud specific.

As some examples, https://www.beyondcorp.com/ is run by the IdP Okta, and ScaleFT (a zero trust SaaS company) references the philosophy of BeyondCorp as being used outside of Google: https://www.scaleft.com/blog/beyondcorp-outside-of-google/

Actually, in Lenz v. Universal, Fair Use is more than an affirmative defence:

we hold — for the purposes of the DMCA — fair use is uniquely situated in copyright law so as to be treated differently than traditional affirmative defenses. We conclude that because 17 U.S.C. § 107 created a type of non-infringing use, fair use is "authorized by the law" and a copyright holder must consider the existence of fair use before sending a takedown notification under § 512(c).

Apple doesn't have access to your iMessages unless you give them permission by consenting to have your keys backed up to iCloud. If you use iTunes backup (or don't back up your phone), the Messages will be encrypted and can only be unlocked if you have a device that still has the keys.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303

"Messages in iCloud also uses end-to-end encryption. If you have iCloud Backup turned on, your backup includes a copy of the key protecting your Messages. This ensures you can recover your Messages if you lose access to iCloud Keychain and your trusted devices. When you turn off iCloud Backup, a new key is generated on your device to protect future messages and isn't stored by Apple."
Would this have happened if they hadn't sold to Microsoft?
LLVM has been exclusively on git for a year now.
You're right that a lot of talented people immigrate to the US, (and emigrate from India in general), but India is very populous.

The number of talented Indians who don't leave their country must be many times higher.
The current cohort of 20 year olds are educated, smart and building companies or working in startups. If they manage to find good exits in a couple of years, they can become angel investors after that. Thus teenagers of today will be founders of Ant financial of the next decade of India. India today looks like China from 2000-2007.

From an EU perspective, it's mind numbing to see so much growth. If they only followed traffic/parking and had a slightly better electricity and water infrastructure, they would be as good as some countries in EU but with better companies and constantly producing new jobs.

Why wouldn't you just call your representatives and force them to enforce traffic laws in your neighborhoods? You are this close.
Sounds like you talked to one type of American. It’s not like there aren’t American kids who do that as well.
well, let me take a minute to explain: you can use canvas to generate a finger print of the browser, that (with lots of other stuff) can be used to track the user on the internet.

so, if your safari browser is setted to "prevent cross site tracking" canvas applications will not work.

this canvas application (and everything I do) don't track people or data.
I mean if you look at it in conjunction with Apple pays it’s pretty good.
The ability to just freely type in a table and it keeps it aligned automatically with basically ASCII art, and allows me to sort or rearrange lines or columns, is just fantastic.

If I really need a "spreadsheet", I will use a dedicated software package (which is sometimes actually Matlab, because often that's what I actually need, except for finance stuff), but so so many times when jotting down notes I just need some hassle-free instant tables.
I think Elad's point wasn't that Delhi will become a global startup center, but that it became India's startup center from behind since the original leader (Bangalore) suffered from poor governance over the last 15 years.

The parallel to the US could be that, over the next 10-20 years, NYC (or some other new hub) overtakes the Bay Area / SF for similar reasons.
You don't need to go as far as the USA to find that kind of appreciation, just look over to our friendly Kiwi neighbours.
I would have thought that putting anything you want found at a low level or in the basement was a safer bet.
I think it’s also an age thing. Young people are more comfortable online and kids in high school ten years ago are the tech bros in FAANG.

This seems to be a time for them to ‘give it back’ to an oppressive older generation they can rebel against. I too never agreed with my previous generation but I never wielded this kind of power.

The 50 something year old who is banned from Twitter by a 25 something techie probably cannot comprehend why he is suddenly a hateful racist villain. Just 7-8 years ago, he had friends! I see many a middle aged woman on Nextdoor completely bewildered by why high school kids are calling them ‘Karen’ between zoom class breaks. If it werent so tragic, it would be comical.

> The coronavirus pandemic is likely to keep it grounded for some time and threatens a planned deployment to New Zealand later this year.

How long can this modified 747SP fly? I wonder how they were going to fly it to New Zealand and if there were any refuel stops. Would be a nice treat to catch that at your local airport.
The perception of first generation immigrants is a bit different than the perception of black people in the United States, generally speaking.

In addition, being a minority founder doesn't mean funding is automatic. Investors still like seeing the right credentials, even for minorities.
I also wonder why are they using Java? Filesystems should be written in something like Rust. Using languages like Java for systems programming always looked bizarre to me.

Any thoughts of your own on the matter? We're way in the sidebar, don't worry about downvotes. Tell me why.
This reminds me of the psychologist Daniel Nettle's assertion that there are 3 levels of happiness. The most basic is the immediate feeling of pleasure, like what you get from having sex or watching a sunset. I think you're right that some people naively think work should be like that day to day and their own intellectual stimulation is a primary concern for anyone else.

But there are also other forms of happiness. One is a generalized sense of well-being. Another is a sense of growth or flourishing and fulfilling one's potential. I think it's sort of natural that people associate these things with their careers (especially the latter). And I understand why it's disheartening to feel that at the end of the day you're a cog in a machine, that your work may actually be damaging to your well-being and distracting or sucking away time and energy from things that would allow you to flourish. Worst of all for many people in tech, you may feel that the work you do is actually net harmful to not just yourself but to your coworkers and your users.

I think you're right to call out people to take responsibility for themselves and to realize the world doesn't owe them anything, but I also think it's a more nuanced issue and there are some easy traps to fall into out there.
I live in a very well known city of approximately 34,000 residents and nearly 1400 CCTV cameras. I wonder how many cities fly under the radar in this regard.
