I highly recommend the excellent Broadcasts[1] app for streaming radio.

Is it called Swift Quit because it closes apps swiftly, or because it is written in Swift? Or maybe both.

You say that, but then I counter with the complete reliability and brilliance of Rosetta 2.

For the purpose of filling in the tax form.

No becauase in some language the forms of words used to describe people vary depending on whether the person is male or female. It's not just a case of picking the right pronouns, it's the gender agreement of the other parts of speech too.

Turns out you need to pick a side for tax purposes.

You make it sound like a £3 transaction fee is evidence of some kind of scamminess or preying on naivety but most normal, regulated investment platforms, crypto or not, come with transaction fees, account fees, fund management fees and so on. Usually they are taking a lot more than £3 from you too. That's even before we get into the world of professional financial "advice" and the commissions they just happen to earn when you buy the one they recommend. Compared to all the ways the traditional investment world seeks to milk you, Coinbase's flat fee per trade looks admirably straightforward.

I guess they need the other 4684 employees for legal and compliance.

You can’t claim us we live here

Pro tip, right click the app and click "Open" in the menu to get a version of the dialog with an approve button. No need to go into settings.

Ah yes the old X is friends with Y and they are all the same.

"Cancelling" is more about people in the public eye. Pressure groups use bullying and boycotts as a way to keep celebrities and companies saying the right thing and demonstrating the right virtues (however shallowly). If you don't have a public profile you don't really need to worry about it. That said I think it does have a bleed on effect to regular people. It creates an atmosphere of fear around exploring certain topics in any meaningful way. Most people just want an easy life so will parrot the "correct" opinions whether they have really though about it or not.

The real elite are wearing F-91W's thanks very much. :)

But Apple is not necessarily selling to watch aficionados, they are selling (partly) to people who want to be seen as fashionable in a general sense. Calling it "Apple Watch" instead of iWatch, and putting it next to Hermès straps is about adding that gleam of luxury and glamour.

Ah yes, Harnly's law

If my grandmother had wheels, she would be a bike.

Your proof sketch actually suggested that it was not possible to construct a map with five regions that require five colours.

Now you need to generalise that to maps with infinitely many regions.

This whole subthread reads like an HN parody.

How about the title and subtitle be taken together, as intended.

Hard agree. The proper place for cookie permission management is in the browser. The web as a whole needs need to move on from these obnoxious pop-up cookie warnings ASAP.

Is it just me or is the "massive hero + social proof" convention feeling tired out?

Not now but there is work going on in the JS standardisation process that will mean valid typescript is interpreted as valid JavaScript. (Basically run it and ignore the type annotations)

Your relatives won't need a password or login to access your financial stuff. once you die the executor of your estate will be able to apply to the relevant companies manage your affairs.

Of course, if all your assets are in bitcoin then they are screwed.

That's an interesting position. Is there currently any country on earth which has a general law against telling lies?

> resilient but appear resilient

You mean "appear chaotic", right?

I assumed they just cloned the stylesheet.

In 10 years of reading hacker news I never thought to press the [-] until this moment.

Computing was created because of the demand for calculating artillery trajectories and code breaking in the 1940s

Can you elaborate on the sports thing? What effect did showing the sports had and do you have a thoory on the mechanism?

Pass the mustard?

Pretty sure this page was originally published in early 2022, well before Elizabeth’s demise. No doubt Charlie will be appearing on the next batch.
