> Apple doesn't have this problem because they don't even make docks they're so problematic

There’s a Thunderbolt dock built into every display that they sell

> Rewriting a critical service like this in another language seems way higher risk than making sure all policy checks are flag guarded

So like, the requirements are unknown? Or this service isn't critical enough to staff a careful migration?

> If you honestly get hung up that LibreOffice doesn’t look like it was developed by Apple within the last 5 years then you are ultimately being disingenuous

Disingenuous? More like realistic.

I mean this ultimately boils down to “is inconsistent with the design of the rest of the computing experience.” People who care about good, consistent design and can afford to pay for it are Apple’s core market.

What is the check that we need to do for aspiring citizens that wouldn’t interest a lender?

Also, making sure the house is sufficient collateral for the loan is a whole bunch of additional overhead.

Dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41655382

More config options means more to test and support, so more cost. The manufacturers who are buying lower end motherboards/chipsets at scale don’t need the feature. And virtually no consumer installs a PCI-E device, ever.

So basically, it’s an argument to make all computers more expensive, in order to subsidize hobbyists.

Stinky is very qualitative. Maybe you grew up around tobacco smokers and so don’t mind the smell? I hate it.

Quantitatively, marijuana smoke is less carcinogenic than tobacco smoke.

Aka cede de facto authority over international waters to a buncha thugs whose official slogan includes “death to America, death to Israel”. No thanks.

I doubt you even live in New York.

> Isn't your gripe with the Qatari government then rather than the airline?

It’s an absolute dictatorship. The government and the airline are the same thing.

Your eyes are close together, is there really a benefit in having two?

Have you heard of email?

Virgin didn't have to be folded into Alaska. Richard Branson famously didn't want it to happen, but couldn't stop it.

> In what other industry would the market tolerate such well-understood and severe dangers for users of products for decades?

Transportation. Motor vehicles are a huge chunk of the market despite the existence of less deadly alternatives.

Fuck this article.

If city council had some nuts, they'd just deny Dolan his permits, and he'd be up shit's creek.

All this blather about any eventual resolution needing to make him whole or happy is pure throne sniffing.

The station has hundreds of staircases and dozens of entrances. If you commute into it three days a week and haven't found a path that's workable, maybe the train station isn't the problem.

If your therapist is telling you that you’re entirely justified in being angry at humans being humans, seems like you should find a better therapist.

Imagine how obnoxious it would be if you were detained by a federal agent for totally legal behavior.

The government changed because the nation changed. It's now the richest country in the world, with a population of 330 million people, and spans an entire continent from ocean to ocean. Even if you just consider the constitutional commander-in-chief duties, whoever holds the role is going to be a person of global importance.

This analogy doesn’t make sense to me. This isn’t a bank transfer, it’s a purchase of a digital artifact. Is Apple wrong to ask for 30% of IAPs in Candy Crush? Because this seems pretty much the same to me.

You have the public figure rules backwards. Times v Sullivan provides a higher bar when the /target/ of the alleged defamation is a public figure.

I think the article misstates this. They’re normally legal spots, but at the time of the special event, they’re not legal.(Usually temporary signs are placed a day or two in advance.)

> They could do vastly better than the status quo

But why should they have to? It’s 2022, get a LoJack or AirTag for your private property that you leave lying around illegally in public space.

If they got “courtesy towed” they were already parked illegally. (Used to live in Philly, it happened to me once.)

I use my 8 GB M1 Air with a 5K display regularly and the only situation where it struggles is gaming. Browsing with zillions of tabs, video, etc is beautiful and lag free.

The A15 was released in September with the 2021 iPhone; the M1 was released in November 2020.

How many potential customers do you lose with your home brew subscription workflow though? If I don’t think it will be easy to cancel, I probably won’t be signing up.

I’m an American and have never heard of this. Calling bullshit.

> HIPPA is absolutely not too strict, it has many fundamental holes which need to be plugged.

Citation needed? It’s HIPAA, by the way; one P and two As.

> There is a developing liberty/security divide which is going very much in the direction of far too far.

Total drivel. I’m sick of lockdowns and mask mandates. If you’re legally and medically eligible for a vaccine and you haven’t gotten one, I’m happy for private businesses to refuse you service.

You could use the PKI’s revocation capabilities to ensure that each person only had one valid ID.
