throwaway4pp24··on Every company should be owned by its employees
Why does everyone else need to live in a desirable metro area? That sounds infeasible with so few of them. If there was more desirable metro areas, the prices of those few wouldn't be so high.
throwaway4pp24··on Ask HN: Got my first iPhone. What should I know?
Better - and necessary for my use case - is the first word. I just type whatever I want and it suggests/tries both languages at the same time. Few words is too late since I want to use 1-3 words in the other language only.

Yes, right in the law - "fair use"
throwaway4pp24··on Ask HN: Got my first iPhone. What should I know?
I'm an iPhone user since last year and I wasn't able to use it for more than a day. Hard to explain, but it really is terrible to someone who is used to have a big choice of very good keyboards. It's just too basic and doesn't ever type what I want to type.

The most important missing feature is multi language support - I frequently combine multiple languages in one sentence. Switching languages every time I need to say a word or two in the other one is tiring.

throwaway4pp24··on Intel confirms oxidation and excessive voltage in 13th and 14th Gen CPUs [video]
Many people are saying it's all about the Zeiss machines and TSMC isn't actually bringing much over that. Usually as an argument about EU tech competitiveness.
throwaway4pp24··on Phish-friendly domain registry ".top" put on notice
Why does that matter at all? If I go and create a bunch of legitimate .top domains, is it suddenly better somehow? No, it's still the first of the list, and .com is still second.
throwaway4pp24··on Microsoft points finger at the EU for not being able to lock down Windows
Yes indeed, it's expected - that confirms what I'm saying.
throwaway4pp24··on Is Steve Ballmer the Most Underrated CEO of the 21st Century?
Vista was good, just slow on the older contemporary computers. I bought a new properly specced machine when it was released and it was a significant improvement over XP.

That enabling competition in kernel mode antivirus is the actual problem, and that a more widely used product (which isn't true anyways, the MS product is used more) doesn't imply a better product.

throwaway4pp24··on Microsoft points finger at the EU for not being able to lock down Windows
A widely installed product doesn't imply a more successful product, and a more successful product doesn't imply a better product.
throwaway4pp24··on Microsoft points finger at the EU for not being able to lock down Windows
I really don't think so. Crashing the system is still a long way from controlling the system - no implication there.
throwaway4pp24··on Microsoft points finger at the EU for not being able to lock down Windows
Perhaps they are trying to do the same thing as Apple and are claiming Windows on Arm is a separate product that this doesn't apply to.
throwaway4pp24··on Ask HN: Is it possible to make FAANG salaries without working there?
Show me the average startup engineer who has the time to be overemployed please...
throwaway4pp24··on Ask HN: Is it possible to make FAANG salaries without working there?
All of these are very significant at a FAANG and generally not as great elsewhere.
throwaway4pp24··on Ask HN: Vertical SaaS for Airlines?
That's a lot of words to say nothing about the issue at hand. World is complex - we know.

Aviation industry software is outdated and based on the necessities and limits of 1980s computers. There indeed is a huge opportunity to bring something better and well integrated, especially if you can reliably connect the different businesses that need to cooperate to transport a passenger from A to B - air operators, aircraft owners, ground handling operators, charter brokers, airports, maintenance providers, etc. This all runs on humans and email now. Go for it.
