Great work!! Very clever.

adammenges··on Tim Hortons app violated laws in collection of ‘vast amounts’ of location data
I’m not interested in starting a flame war, but am interested to know how many of the users who were being tracked everywhere they go without the app being opened were iOS users and how many were android. Unfortunately the post doesn’t go into much detail.
adammenges··on Apple introduces new version of iMovie featuring Storyboards and Magic Movie
Yeah that’s fair too
adammenges··on Apple introduces new version of iMovie featuring Storyboards and Magic Movie
Yeah maybe, I think most other companies tho would recognize that all of that is such a small part of their business and cut it off.

I’m so happy Apple doesn’t.

adammenges··on UBS Acquires Wealthfront for $1.4B
Thought about integrating it with Alpacha?
adammenges··on Show HN: OnlyRecipe.app – Remove clutter from recipe sites
Is it not on the safari 'store' because of the $99 a year?
adammenges··on Show HN: OnlyRecipe.app – Remove clutter from recipe sites
Feature request: Add in the iOS app safari extension thing so you when you browse to `www.allrecipes.com` or similar it opens in your app.
adammenges··on Show HN: OnlyRecipe.app – Remove clutter from recipe sites
I guess that's what ratings are for. Who knows if it'll taste good to your taste buds, but if many others like it that could be a good indication.
adammenges··on Show HN: OnlyRecipe.app – Remove clutter from recipe sites
I'm curious how you wrote the logic for recipe detection? I've know some others who've tried to solve this and like many pattern recognition tasks it turns out to be harder than you'd think, but not impossible of course. Just curious how you did it.
adammenges··on Tailscale free for open source projects
Just set this up on my NAS, it’s so helpful. Really hope their business tier proves profitable, these free/easy features for personal account are great.
adammenges··on Show HN: I developed a native macOS Hacker News client
Nice! This looks great.
adammenges··on Blender and the Rabbids
Blender is insanely great, and honestly one of the best fully open source software projects out there. The only thing I wish from it is Apple M1 support. Personally, I’m just not sure I’m going to own a big desktop computer with an Nvidia gpu ever again.
adammenges··on EU antitrust: Apple shouldn't use privacy and security to stave off competition
Agreed, this is one of the main points of view often not brought up
adammenges··on 5G: The outsourced elephant in the room
There’s a clear bias in your thinking against the US and for Sweden. Any of the points you bring up could equally apply to both places, but you come out bring the negative against one and the positive against the other.
adammenges··on Blender 2.92
Look up blender donut on YouTube. Amazingly well done.
adammenges··on Blender 2.92
Is this the version that gets Apple M1 support? I know it’s on their roadmap and I thought it was 2.92, but I don’t see anything in the release notes. Might not be big enough to mention.
adammenges··on Amazon shortchanged drivers $61.7M in tips
Agreed. There're several other good articles about this. Here's one: https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2017/08/15/why-americas-t...
adammenges··on Amazon shortchanged drivers $61.7M in tips
That's true in more or less every job, it can be done well or done poorly. Incentive should be keeping the job at all. Tips are an infuriating hidden cost.
adammenges··on Signal AMA on Reddit
good point
adammenges··on Apple unveils M1, its first system-on-a-chip for portable Mac computers
Would love to get GPU accelerated learning in Lobe (http://www.lobe.ai).

Thanks!
adammenges··on GitTorrent: A Decentralized GitHub (2015)
Yeah it’s an apt time. Of course I’m not sure the legal request will stick.
adammenges··on DuckDuckGo Founding Member in Global Privacy Control Standards Effort
Your google point is pretty valid, they’d be removing a source of income and sending users to a competitor. I think DDG is fine for the time being.
adammenges··on Comparative advantage and when to blow up your island
I think the root of the problem you’re getting at isn’t that we shouldn't have leaders we elect, but that education and trustworthy journalism in a democracy are vitally important.
adammenges··on Apple Terminates Epic Games' Developer Account
I strongly doubt that, I’d bet prices would remain the same and Epic would pocket more
adammenges··on Apple Terminates Epic Games' Developer Account
This is a pretty great analogy and shows why some Apple customers are honestly happy with the current model. Besides, if you allowed more stores, nothing’s going to get cheaper for the customer, Epic will just make slightly more money and charge the same amount and customers will be left with the worse experience. The only advantage of loading apps from anywhere would be to load apps that are banned. Emulators or torrent apps.
