Actually there are many ways to set parental controls on device and lock them with a passcode or you could use third party solution that use the Screen Time API but are compatible with Android.
For sure. As an early stage startups (pre-Series D) that target lower market or mid-market (B2C startups like Chime or B2B SaaS startups like many of the ones you see in YC), continuous operations aren't significantly important at their stage, but as their revenue grows, it becomes more and more critical.
iPod Touch works fine, for example. Also, it's not actually needed to set up the TV device.
I somehow managed to watch 1899 right on release and really enjoyed it, so am really bummed. But a lot of people around me just haven't gotten around to it because of the holidays, and now say the same thing as you do.

And I've heard some fans of DARK saying they just couldn't get into it because it was too slow, but I really liked that style of storytelling.

I just wish everybody and their mom would put on that show now even if they don't actually watch it, so maybe the numbers change and they reverse their decision. I actually took this as the final straw to cancel my Netflix subscription and will only ever sign up again if that show gets finished.
1. Dropbox automatically syncs all files right away. Github requires manual push, and does not sync new/unstaged changes (like intentionally .ignored .env files).

2. Private repositories used to be a Github paid feature.

3. Less "clutter" in my Github account.

4. More generally, I keep almost all important non-OS files in Dropbox including my home directory and portable apps.

- Simple way to ensure the files I don't want to lose are backed up.

- After a fresh OS (re-)install, just installing Dropbox gets my system 90% set up and ready for use.

- (Theoretically) I can work on my files from a USB drive on any computer.
That was sort of true of "syndication," or roughly your hundredth episode. If the show ran long enough, it got into syndication, and then the residuals mattered. It used to be that a hundred episodes was kind of a benchmark for that sort of thing.

Case in point, Angel, which was cancelled on a February when Joss Whedon, the showrunner, demanded to know whether or not they got a fifth season. Sort of a "tell me now or fuck it." Well ...

Granted, it wasn't a great choice for the network (that exec moved on, probably "failed upward") and it wasn't a good ultimatum for Whedon to make, but it does serve as an example of the kind of games that get played out, because quite a lot of networks would stop shows just before that, due to the Hollywood accounting being a pain once you had to keep paying your actors for decades. The math varies, so some shows go on, but that fourth season, man ... look out.
I have junior engineers try solving their problem on their own for an hour. If they make no progress, ask for help. If they make some progress, repeat. I think it's a good learning experience while also providing a safety net, and I've gotten positive feedback from juniors on this advice.
> No fortune is honest or ethical. The concepts are incompatible.

How so?

Scenario: Assume that someone was born intelligent, and chose to sacrifice their time and money to become a surgeon, and then earned a lot of money. They chose to invest that money to generate more money.

It isn't unethical because they didn't break a law. It isn't dishonest because they worked for it.

What do you see that I don't see?
I don't own any Apple products and certainly wouldn't give my children any.

Especially if the children are young enough that you need to use parental controls.
For people who want to use phone less (no social media etc, like what I'm doing now HNing at breakfast) Watch alone could replace the phone function (can call, take calls, message) and a couple other devices (map, audio player) completely.
Thanks for illustrating my point.

It's not a binary, it's limited thinking to say that someone is "pro-labor" or "anti-labor". Even that choice of words, framing the narrative and the associated emotional response is deliberate - and misleading.

Each situation is different, for example, I think you'd be pretty hard-pressed to find a majority of "right" voters who believe that coal miner unions are a bad idea.

I think it'd be pretty easy to find a majority of them who believe that the NEA does more harm than good.

But it's a lot easier to just lump everyone together and demonize them, right? To find a few tragic examples of abuses to maximize outrage reaction, and make sure everyone is properly corralled into their tribes and casting the "correct" vote, so we can show those nasty out-groupers what's what.

In case you were curious, the distribution of political leaning in unions is a lot more complex than what you might think [1].

If someone asks me whether I believe in unions, depending on the day and how hungry I am I'd likely respond with something like "which union? which industry?", though I don't consider myself to be "right".

I am skeptical of laws that both protect and prevent unions, though. I think people should be free to assemble in whatever manner they choose, and to negotiate the same way.

I also understand that this gets really complicated when strikes or mass-firings threaten fundamental infrastructure and security. So, like most things - it's complicated.

Agreed. Which is why I think it is a ridiculous notion that making TikTok illegal would somehow outlaw YT/FB/IG/Snap as well.
I could see that. However the only flaw with that graph is that the scope is world-wide. I believe the Sherman Antitrust Act cares primarily about US operations.

IOW, don't waste time in refactoring if it is not imperative for some particular reason.
> Your comment glosses over so many complex dynamics of how the USSR failed and mismanaged its way into how it was in the late 80's vs. the U.S (and many other major countries) that it's absurd.

My comment glosses over. Compared to an anecdote about how a supermarket visit “Brought Down the Soviet Union”? This is the thing that you leaped to respond to? You are dripping with hypocrisy.

That low-quality article deserves no more rebuttal than the sentences that I spared on it.
The more difference, the better outcomes.

I think that's why so many people have this unreasonable urge to travel. If you didn't have that in the past very little genetic diversity was available for your offspring.
> I seldom, if ever, carry my iPhone outside my house.

This is such an extreme outlier behavior, nobody is designing products around it. Pretty much everyone who owns a smartphone carries it around everywhere, because why not.
All clocks from Deutsche Bahn stations are also like this. It's always very amusing.
Netflix has fallen into the Google trap.

Google famously kills projects and half-asses things. This destroys user trust. Eventually people won't use your new thing because they don't want to become dependent on something that's just going to languish before being cancelled.

Larry Page's "more wood, fewer arrows" idea never really took hold.

Apple OTOH is very good (mostly) at focusing on fewer things and seeing them through. Apple Pay is a prime example of this. Every month there are more banks and financial institutions onboarded.

But this hurts Netflix on both sides. The obvious one is for viewers. It's becoming increasingly less likely that I become invested in some Netflix series knowing it's likely fate. Even the otherwise excellent Ozark's 4th season felt rushed, like they were trying to cram 2-3 seasons of storylines into one season.

HBO has generally been very good at seeing things through. There are notable exceptions (eg Rome, Deadwood, arguably even Westworld although that one is complicated).

But it hurts Netflix on the creator side. If you're an Aaron Sorkin type shopping around your series and you have a lot of suitors, why would you choose Netflix when you fear it'll get cancelled prematurely. Now you can write in commitments into contracts. This happened with House of Cards, initially two seasons guaranteed IIRC. But not everyone has that leverage.

It seems like Netflix has fallen into the trap of optimizing for the wrong metrics, specifically short-term new customer signups. Maybe they look at customer retention too? Maybe customers don't actually care about this? I honestly don't know.

I do think they're hurting their brand though.
They will cut the cord eventually.

Remember, iPods required a Mac at first. Then a Mac or a PC. Then neither.
> A long time ago I read some piece by Groucho, about how it's impossible to find a beef (or ham, or turkey, not sure which it was) sandwich any more. (...) But he can't just buy a simple roastbeef sandwich, maybe with a pinch of mustard.

I need to find that piece, because it resonates. For me, it's hot dogs. I can't find plain hotdogs anywhere anymore. All I want is a bun, a sausage, and some ketchup and mustard on top. But no, everyone has to add at least cucumbers and fried onions, and if you're not careful, you'll end up with bread full of a large assortment of veggies, with barely a sausage in sight.

I imagine the reason for this is economics: this green stuff is probably dirt cheap relative to the sausage, but lets the vendor triple the price of a hot dog without making you feel they're price gouging you.

For the past decade in my area, IKEA was the last bastion of pure, unadulterated hot dogs. But even they recently took that off the menu - the basic hot dog now comes loaded with useless greenery.
I certainly think phones have more spying potential than Alexa/smart devices. But my point is very few people bring up "but what about spying?" whenever smartphones are discussed, with the implication that these devices should be avoided because of that.
For manga-based anime, there often isn’t quite enough material yet to fill two seasons/cours, so they cram it into one, trying to fit some sort of story arc. There is certainly also the factor of risk reduction, only plan one season initially in case it isn’t successful. One difference from Netflix shows is that anime is usually part of a media mix (manga, light novels, merchandise, games, songs/music, physical media sales, sometimes musicals and other events), so even if it’s just one season with an open-ended storyline or a premature pseudo-ending, it serves to promote the other media of the franchise. Anime productions are typically planned and financed by a committee of media partners.

Straight from the horse's mouth:

Claiming they are best because they survive is survivorship bias.
First cousin marriages are still quite common today in some countries. Many of my school friends' parents were first cousins.
Pretty cool, but it seems like this wouldn't be as exciting as the demo makes it seem for a real game until LLM grounding is better solved. Until then, the dialogue can only be fancy approximately-correct window dressing on top of the game engine which isn't open-ended enough to make use of the LLM's inventions. Instead of your NPC saying "I heard there was a dragon in Whiterun" over and over again, you can have "I heard there was a dragon in Whiterun", "Did you hear about the dragon in Whiterun?", "Someone told me they were in Whiterun and spotted a dragon", "I heard nobody saw a dragon in Whiterun[sic]" etc. Cool for what it is, but not much of a game changer until the generated dialogue can actually change the game.
I don’t have a direct answer to your question, but it did trigger a few thoughts I thought I’d share:

I miss the crosstalk between print media and online community. It wasn’t too long ago where I would go into a venue and find the local free weekly paper that led me to trawl for more online. Sites like this one fill the need broadly, and I’m getting better every month at learning to filter what I see on HN.

Location-real or virtual-is often the first way we apply a filter for interests, and it feels counterintuitive when the location has gotten dumber/more mediocre than last time I was in. Like a millionaire buying the art house theater or radio station and ruining it with scale.

I like HN because it isn’t solely tech-focused - it’s inherently focus-less - and is a jumping off point for deeper discussion as well as deeper linking to related data points. I’m not sure this is what you are looking for in a community, but your question made me think for a sec about why I value HN so thought I’d share.

I also like the sentiment I heard on related thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34406075 “I try to think of commenting and participation more as just talking to one person rather than trying to score points from the community.”
"Humans will happily move to some semi-conversational way of searching through this new online gigantic collection."

No, humans will be frantically trying to build bullshit filters for all the nonsensical 'wisdom' poisoning reality.
Price, probably. Children are often quick to break fragile things like modern phones. But honestly, in my experience every parent I know buys their kids the same phone they use in terms of the OS.
I am a bit confused by your reply. The "everyone is doing it" is your own words in reference to brainwashing? My statement was that I agree that western countries are likewise authoritarian and have issues with freedom of it's citizens. Nevertheless, I don't see a theocratic government as a step in the right direction to say the least.

For the same reason that is brought up on every survey-based research discussion thread: what people say and what people mean/do are not the same.
But won't people feel uncomfortable being seen with AR glasses, at least for the next few years? They would have to be completely transparent, no impediment to eye contact, very small and fashionable, and so incredibly useful people would be willing to deal with any judgemental glares they got.
Most off-the-shelf NAS boxes do not have ECC.
Bit hard when its the dad thats non-existant in the kids life buying them a iphone @ 12. Restrict the usage of that and see how well your relationship with your kid holds up.

Had this happen to us, my partners kids. Its a subtle attempt to destabilize and subvert her authority as parent figure even though old mate isn't even around, hasn't been for years and still is an abusive S*t. We got forced to buy a iphone in order to put parent restrictions on. Its shits as. I hate apple. Company does bulk crap that enables abusers and does piss all to prevent it or be like hey...maybe this is a ethically shit thing to implement. Maybe its gonna cause a whole host of people grief. Don't even get me started on apple air tags.
I'd really rather have a 'complete' story that was thought out more than a week in advance like some shows.
Yes, absolutely. Cuba not only trades with the EU, but also regularly with Canada, another major US ally and does so without legal or political consequences for either Cuba or Canada. The embargo was a shameful disaster of U.S political policy in how it was applied, but also in its PR damage, because it let a grossly corrupt, authoritarian regime spend several decades justifying its nearly every failure on this one U.S political measure with the help of useful idiot supporters in the U.S and elsewhere. The embargo never stopped Cuba from being much better off. It's own rigid, backwards ideology and self serving leaders did.
It makes more sense when you remember the stated purpose: preventing spread. Once Omicron ratcheted the spread rate up by an order of magnitude and demonstrated enough evasion that the original vaccines couldn’t plausibly prevent enough transmission, that changed from a shared model where everyone is masked & vaccinated to stop the pandemic to a more individual risk tolerance question.

In the former case, having a firm policy to get vaccination rates over the critical threshold to halt spread has a reasonable justification: we literally can’t do that without you.
This was my gut reaction as well. I'm sure it's a nicely written blog, but I really doubt I'll get any value from it.

Perhaps I'm just sour grapes that I wasn't lucky enough to work at Shopify at age 18 when they were smaller, but blogs in this genre generally all have the same effect on me.
You didn't answer my question. What static analyzers? "Never pass a non-owning reference to anything ever" is ludicrous.
The story has been told by his son, but I think it is confirmed by several sources. I don't think Gerhardsen himself ever told it publicly.
Makes me wish I didn't just buy the 12.9 iPad pro with the overly priced magic keyboard.

Very disappointed in apple.

P.s. I use an Android phone.
I think this trend is why they've gone all-in on sex-on-the-beach shows and true crime docuseries. One season can easily be self-contained, and if the viewer gets another, it's just a nice bonus.
It does become slow eventually, and yes you need discipline and tooling to block people from dumping everything in it.

You do need a lot of code / developers before you outgrow git, cf the linux kernel.
I agree with your point, except that I think this is a poor example of your point. This is pretty clearly just a poor implementation of this particular user interaction. I have a feeling their legal department decided they needed to send out this terms of service requirement and they didn’t have any decent UI in the Apple TV to let you view and accept terms. This modal is probably the best thing they could throw together on their end. I’ve been an Apple TV user for many years and this is the first time I remember seeing a modal like this pop up out of nowhere.

I don’t think this has anything do with trying to force Apple TV users to have an iPhone. It’s a buggy and annoying user interaction even if you do have an iPhone. For one thing, it seems to require every user on your Apple Family Sharing plan to accept the terms, which means it will show me the modal for my wife’s account when she’s not around. She has an iPhone, but this is still an absurd experience. Also, it’s just clearly buggy and inconsistent. Sometimes I’ll be watching something for an hour and when I go to the home screen it will show three identical modals one after the other.
> If we can make Mars habitable, we can make Earth habitable for far less cost.

I'd put it slightly differently. If we can't keep earth habitable, when we're standing right here on it, what hope do we have of making Mars habitable?

Never mind logistics, look at the billions of years of evolution that led to billions of interdependent organisms. We are one of those organisms, but in our guts alone live countless more. As a tech person, have you ever built system A, then built system B which depends on system A. And then, when the both up and running, accidentally modified A to depend on B? And that's just 2 systems. Scale to billions. How the hell do you cold-boot that?
That's not the impression that has been presented to me. Wording clearly pointed to me needing my own device.
And on the AMD side, for several generations their desktop CPUs with integrated GPUs were lagging behind the ones without, because they were really just packaging their laptop silicon for the desktop socket. Each new iteration of the Zen microarchitecture has shipped first in the chiplet-based desktop and server products, then later incorporated into the monolithic laptop SoCs.

Now AMD's desktop chiplet-based CPUs have a tiny GPU in the IO/memory controller die, ill-suited to anything more advanced than everyday web browsing.

Understandable position. But I've come to an alternate perspective after studying hypnotherapy and working with therapists over the past year. In a sense, all conversations are with ourselves. We create a mental model of the other person in our minds when conversing. A tool that helps people explore their own mind by facilitating these anthropomorphic models could prove immensely valuable for personal growth. As long as people understand they're talking to a bot, it could potentially allow for deeper introspection without the fear of judgement. A lot of the initial friction in therapy is getting people comfortable in sharing the deeper truth vs saying what they think they are expected to say to another human.

As for the need for the bot to act as a human, I think this is actually important to the efficacy. Our minds are evolved to anthropomorphize everything. A well trained bot will help people feel like they are talking directly to specific personas within their own mind.

I don't think it will replace therapists, but I do think it will significantly aid in two ways: 1) helping more people get started with therapy, 2) as a companion tool for work between sessions with a live human.
The 1899 cancellation is when I realized that Netflix has no competent strategy to rolling out shows. It was #1 and #2 on their charts for weeks, only dethroned by Wednesday, yet they cancelled it. I fear that Netflix is eventually going to just make "Fast and the Furious" quality of original content, or they will go with franchises with known names that are licensed. They created the Witcher, are pushing out another season of it (despite the lead leaving, bad reviews and backlash on direction) and have a spin off that is universally panned.

Cinema is suffering from the same thing, which is why superhero films and franchises rule the silver screen. It's not a good direction for the artform or any semblance of quality. So many great franchises were rough (or had poor TV ratings) in their first seasons that are now considered classics. From Seinfeld to Parks and Rec to X-Files to Star Trek TNG, there are countless examples.
I admire your bravery for even trying to tackle this. Your rant about Emacs spoke to my soul. It's such a pain to use, but nothing else even comes close to playing the same game. I've been mulling over similar thoughts for years and there's clearly some space in the overlap between Emacs, Excel, Smalltalk and web browsers for a true power user computer interface. I'll be keeping an eye on this for sure.
