dragon-hn··on Apple's Testy Developer Relationships Threaten to Hamper Vision Pro
That still requires resources to support. For a platform with an uncertain number of users.

It would be a commitment that costs money to run day to day, even if it is just running the iOS app.
dragon-hn··on Amazon to staff: Come into the office or your promotion is at risk
I thought they were going to fire people who didn’t come in? Has that not happened?
dragon-hn··on Why is it so hard to pull off a lunar landing?
> And the only reason they didn't land people on the moon first too is because their country was falling apart and they reduced investment in their space program.

This is most definitely not the case in the late 60s. The Soviets very much wanted to land on the moon up until the Apollo landing.

The cuts to the Soviet space program came after.

dragon-hn··on Taiwan is a vital island that is under serious threat
Who said that?

Also, the US were there under UNSC resolution. Not so much for the PRC.

dragon-hn··on Twitter Layoffs Continue into 2023
Because Elon himself has said it could face bankruptcy.

Sometimes it isn’t a grand mainstream media conspiracy.

dragon-hn··on Hydroxychloroquine lowers Alzheimer's disease and related dementias risk
What a lazy response. At least you got the no evidence part right.

For about a year governments around the world were willing to do _anything_ to get past Covid ASAP. To ignore that and chalk this up to a lazy conspiracy theory has less than zero merit.

dragon-hn··on Hydroxychloroquine lowers Alzheimer's disease and related dementias risk
It was discouraged (correctly in hindsight) because there was no evidence it would do anything for Covid.

It was called horse medicine because the unfortunate people that fell for the kooks resorted to vet sources for it because doctors correctly refused.

I can’t believe the revisionist history on this.

dragon-hn··on American life expectancy is now at its lowest in nearly two decades
The fringe does not mean significant minority of people. I think you need to broaden your horizons if you think many people describe these characteristics as white supremacy.
dragon-hn··on The fact that Twitter is running well with headcount down significantly matters
Are they shipping more or less features that can grow the business?

We obviously don’t know either way, but no massive outages so far doesn’t mean Twitter is still operating smoothly.

dragon-hn··on How the War Was Won
I enjoyed this book, but the slant against unions was pretty off putting.

I had no idea it was from AEI!

dragon-hn··on Apple TV Remote has USB-C
But no USB-C on the actual Apple TV. Really frustrating as a developer.
dragon-hn··on Netflix Gains 2.4M New Subscribers, Reversing Trend
In my opinion you are incorrect that streaming tech is a commodity.

Nobody comes close to Netflix in video delivery and client robustness.

I’d say Netflix is many years ahead of its competitors in terms of technology.

dragon-hn··on GraphQL kinda sucks
> unless you change your schema to where everything is nullable

At my current job, this was done before I was involved. It isn’t a deal breaker, but it throws away one of the best features of GraphQL.

In the end you just have every client implement the rules that should have been in an API tier (if they are competent), or worse no validation that gets you a giant mess.

dragon-hn··on GraphQL kinda sucks
If your GraphQL schema is just a mapping of database tables, in my experience you are in for a world of hurt in the future.
dragon-hn··on Vodafone and Deutsche Telekom to introduce persistent user tracking
They will ask you as a customer to opt into this sort of tracking program.
dragon-hn··on Tesla to Cut 10% of Jobs
Respectfully, what in the world are you talking about?
