i like the use of summary/details html, but you have to rearrange it so when i click the text it reveals the details, right now i have to click the tiny triangle to reveal the text inside, at first I thought they must be bulletins

should just need to put the summary text inside the summary tag, see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/de...

Do they need to dominate the space, or does Apple just need to dominate their own space? I would suggest that the high usage of iMessage is also a driver for new customers to come on board with iOS and remain there.
Using a vertical mouse completely cured my wrist pain. They are clunky and an eyesore, but if you feel the slightes pain in your wrist, I urge you to get a vertical mouse and at least use it part of the time. I got a cheap rechargeable one for 30 euros and it feels very natural. Swtiching between regular mouse and vertical ones is no problem at all.
A gas car has nevvveeerrr broken down in the middle of the road before. Truly a unique issue.
I really thought it would be more subtle than that. Google sells its phones, charges for it's phone plan (market rates on both) and certainly doesn't advertise during calls.

Google uses advertising to pay for services with near-zero marginal cost. That's a pretty new phenomenon, so it's not surprising that AT&T never thought to give away ad-supported hardware to use on it's limited capacity, circuit-switched network.

Looking through the feature set I don't see repeatable, templated checklists as a feature. Every app has normal checklists nowadays, but there are basically no solutions for repeatable ones (which is what the article/book are talking about).
Would you consider something like the PinePhone once it’s a bit more usable?
> I would guess that at least 25% of Apple profits come indirectly from in app advertising for apps related to in-app-purchases

With that logic you could say that nearly all Apples profits come indirectly from advertising as they trigger people to buy hardware, apps and services.

If people spend x hours and $10 a month on in-app purchases on their favourite game and that game was taken away, many would just spend the time and $10 on another game - ie Apple will always get their share, the ads just help decide which app developer gets the rest.
I think running on the server would have a much higher cost. If you think about it, you are offloading the hardware cost onto the customer

I received recently one of the most bizarre emails via gmail: one email completely written in Chinese. I was curious precisely because it didn't go to the spam folder. After running it through Google translate it actually looked like a legit job offer. What a pity life is so short and I have so many responsibilities, it would have been cool to grab a laptop and just go.

I am curious what your take on this is:

In this case the Chrome setting would also mark you as away. I'm not sure what your argument is.
No,they want content that advertising paid for and are totalky fine with advertising. They just don't want surveillance or "efficiency" as you call it.

So what changes? Currently you can buy ads and you can buy surveillance, which costs about 3x as much. If surveillance stops being an option, there is no reason to believe prices for ads won't change. However, even if they didn't the only thing that would happen is that ads replace surveillance and the number and size of ads might change a bit. The end. Why is this a big deal to you?
What I find weird is that for Facebook to pay a big lump of money to avoid personal liability seems like it would be unethical and possibly (I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know all the fine points here) actually something that Facebook could be successfully sued for by their shareholders, and yet the FTC was fine with it. Doesn't that make them complicit? I mean, it seems like that ought to be against FTC policy or something to accept deals that benefit the founder but throw the shareholders under the bus.
I guess the difference between running an online store and running a hate machine. Bezos' main concern (as with any run-of-the-mill billionaire) is kidnapping. On the other hand, if your business model has driven people to literally commit genocide, you're going to experience blowback that warrants some extra protection.

Ahh, we don't have access to the server. It's closed - an NVIDIA inference engine. Which under the hood talks to their Triton engine. Unfortunately, while Triton allows configuring the limit, the layer in front of it eats our channel options which have the message size configurations.
How is this any different than any other car having a mechanical problem "in the middle of a highway"? Cars break down all the time. Using the term "locks up" makes it sound like the car is running Window 95 and it just got the blue screen of death. For all we know this could be a mechanical issue that led the car to not start. Even if it's a computer related issue to use the term "locks up" is still pretty uncalled for. There are computer modules in almost any modern car that control the engine and other mechanical aspect of the car that can and do fail regularly leading to all sorts of failures, but nobody says their car "locks up" when that happens.
Ask HN: Why doesn't HN scrub this train emoji?

I came across this post that accidentally contains a train emoji. Copy/pasting into a new post worked, even though I thought emoji were scrubbed from submitted text. And indeed when I select a train emoji on my phone keyboard... no trains!

I can't figure out what makes the train in that post special, does anyone know what's going on here? User Zokier mentions "private area unicode" but I'm having a hard time grokking how that causes this issue.

Still hoping for apple watch xx to have that feature.
And yet you did reply, with apparent incredulity. Wikipedia is a method by which users generate, disseminate, and moderate content of a specific media type. Facebook, et al., don't innovate on the content being produced, because they do not produce it. They innovate on removing friction to the first two, or producing new methods for the third.

Yeah, they really aren't that much more complex. More complicated, I'll grant you, simply owing to the vast amount of cruft and legacy that such privacy-eating titans inherently accrue. But the actual media type is pretty irrelevant as far as I care.

Yes iMessage can be decrypted by the Chinese government. But China is a much different arena than the rest of the world, it is an almost totalitarian state by default.

Their post has reasoning and links to support their position. If you strongly disagree then say why or say nothing.
Also happens with German cars that have electric gearboxes. Modern cars do not have a way to force them into neutral, so if you have an electrical issue or the battery dies, you need a tow truck with a crane to get you out of there.
My dad's 92 Civic had a hood latch malfunction while in the left lane going 75mph. The hood opened up, was caught in the oncoming wind, and slammed into the windshield, violently breaking it and completely obscuring his view. Fortunately he was able to pull over into the median shoulder without getting hurt or causing a collision... but he was pretty shaken.

Is the data valuable without ads to monetize it?
>> crap like GDPR (which makes basically all normal interaction cumbersome)

GDPR do make a lot of things cumbersome, not only if you are doing "bad" things.

Remember that GDPR covers information gathered and stored on paper as well. And it covers not only companies but also organisations, like children's soccer clubs.

So let's say you have a printed list where kids and their parents signup with name and phone numbers, you should probably have a data integrity policy and someone akin to a DPO. In your small non-profit soccer club!

(My problem with GDPR is that it doesn't really, at least so far, hinder the worst trackers, but incur large cost all across society, even where handling personal data isn't really a problem)
Fun?! When it came up two weeks ago I felt like it was making me more ignorant. Here's what I wrote at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28473805 :

This makes no sense. It's like the author has zero knowledge of the relevant history, including things I learned in high school American history.

Don't read it unless you want to get dumber.

At the very least, here's some of the missing real-world context.

The Mann–Elkins Act made the telephone system a common carrier in 1910, fully 11 years before this scenario. You couldn't legally "have their legal permission" for this practice.

100 years ago would have been part of the trust-busting of Taft and Wilson, at the end of the Progressive Era. AT&T had to do business bearing that in mind - something Google doesn't have to do now.

More specifically, AT&T and the US government even had an out-of-court agreement concerning possible monopoly behavior - the Kingsbury Commitment - that ended with the Willis Graham Act of 1921 which said the ICC could regulate AT&T as a natural monopoly. Google doesn't face that now.

> "PRESIDENT: [Clearly alarmed] Monitor every call? Are you joking?"

One operator per phone call = very expensive. Ads won't pay for that.

There wasn't the automation ability to play those recorded advertisement. As it was, a vast army of switchboard operators was needed just to make the system work.

> "we give out the number of another beauty salon instead"

They wouldn't be surprised. That's exactly what happened. That's supposedly the reason for creating an early automatic telephone exchange. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strowger_switch The quote attributed to him is: "No longer will my competitor steal all my business just because his wife is a BELL operator."

> "You will bankrupt all of these businesses. .. That’s why we cap it at 25%."

AT&T knew how to extract a profit. Quoting https://www.cybertelecom.org/notes/att.htm

] "Having secured its monopoly position, AT&T engaged in the 1880s in a series of rate hikes under the justification of expanding the service. The public faced with no alternative service responded negatively. Responses included establishing legal authority to regulate the rates (See Common Carriage) and also the establishment of municipal networks."

Had AT&T taken this hypothetical Google advice, the public would have responded even more strongly.

> "Well, we already have a word for that. It’s called bribery, Mr. Google"

Are you kidding me? They would have said "It's called lobbying, not pax."

The 1920s C-suite would have had no qualms with the idea of lobbying in the interests of corporate power.

The WP entry for "Lobbying in the United States" even includes a political cartoon from 1889, titled "The Bosses of the Senate" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobbying_in_the_United_States#... , linking to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Bosses_of_the_Se... .

From my reading the issue is not that the car stopped working but it actually locked up so you can't push it to the side. I hope we get more info what was the cause, would be hilarious if it was some multimedia issue.
Usually it's in reverse, but it depends on the nature of the app, how well it's made, and on how it is marketed and promoted. In general, if it's something useful, its Windows version will outsell the Mac one even at a lower price level.
I had a $7k bill from AWS due to a bug in a SaaS product. They wouldn’t refund it. I wouldn’t use them again after that.

I then tried to close down another account based on AWS organisations, and it was super complicated to get it all removed to stop billing to the extent I would have needed to hire an experienced consultant to do it rather than just click “close account.”

You’re not wrong that this has a lot of ad copy, but it’s a different kind of ad -- a paid sponsorship, personalised to the site rather than to individual users. It’s a more old-fashioned model, like magazine ads.

I think a lot of people saying “but ads are what let us get stuff for free!” would point to this kind of thing as an example of doing it right.
Reasons to Choose Vue.js for Web UI Development
Yeah, definitely the rhine-ruhr area has some suburbs, but it's still way more dense than the UK. I get the feeling there's a big divide between west and east basically because of ideology: in the west, the state encouraged women to stay at home (no free kindergartens, tax-splitting between married couples, etc). This in itself makes a house with a garden way more attractive - if you're stuck at home looking after kids, then it's really nice to be able to do stuff in the kitchen while your kids play in the garden. They also had way higher car ownership. There's also stuff like building law (you can generally only build stuff that fits in the locale, so there's more space for potential suburban houses than apartment blocks) which I guess wouldn't be a factor in the east. Also high car ownership, (obviously) higher rates of house ownership, etc.

Comparing complete failure of a 20+ year old car's transmission with a brand new Tesla's software going "lol no" doesn't exactly sound like a good defense for Tesla.

Additionally, as long as you're in gear and your transmission still, well, transmits, even in fourth, you can get your car going forward by playing with the clutch. Yes, you'll destroy your clutch, but then again your transmission is already broken anyways.
I would add that the aspect that makes bikeshedding so dangerous is not that those working on it suddenly spend a lot of time on the colour of the shed — the aspect that makes it dangerous is that everybody thinks they can/should weigh in and develope strong opinions about shed colours.

The people working on the shed probably are the ones who most likely just want to get on with it.

That does not make sense. Electric cars don't really have a concept of neutral, because they have no gears or clutch (with few exceptions, such as two-gear Taycan). Yes, the "gear selector" has N as well, but that's just software trick (like all R/N/D "gears") which lets the car to roll when you lift your foot from power pedal, instead of applying regenerative braking.

If the car detects a problem in power supply circuit, it's perfectly rationale action to engage the electric parking brake as "last wish" when the car has stopped, because there are no other mechanism to prevent the car from rolling. In most cases that's the safest option, because freely rolling car is very dangerous.

A side note: Tesla has a sort-of reduntant 12V power supply, because it has a traditional 12V battery and also a 12V DC-DC converter from the high-voltage battery pack. So in theory you can lose either of those and still safely drive the car to a stop. But there can also be a problem with the 12V circuitry itself, e.g. in chassis grounding, which can cause all kind of weird problems and even total failure. This is not an unheard problem especially among older Model S cars such the one in the picture.

When this stuff happens, the car doesn't jam the brakes on and do an emergency stop.

You still have the cars forward momentum, which should be fine to get you to the shoulder.

Then when the car stops, it puts the break on. I'd much prefer that than not put the break on and have it roll down a hill unoccupied later and kill someone.
