How long ago was the commentariat fainting over Apple ruining DHH’s livelihood by not allowing him to do this exact thing with Hey?

There are two possibilities as far as I can tell.

1) Facebook was kayfabing it up when they complained about these measures and already knew they’d be able to route around them via fingerprinting.

2) While not capable of fully blocking tracking, Apple put more of a dent in trackers’ ability to function — at least temporarily — than articles like this would lead you to believe.

Does Apple make any claims re: cohort tracking? Their communications seem to focus on individual tracking.

There are only so many hours in a day. If we spend all of them thoroughly debunking known quacks nothing else will ever get done.

Stephen Wolfram hasn’t yet achieved full quack status where it’s best to dismiss him out of hand, but he has been moving in that direction for some time.

To quote famed philosopher Kid Rock: it’s not bragging if you can back it up.

“Developing a fundamental theory of physics“ is not something Mr. Wolfram can back up.

Seems like you’re discounting the reliability of a hypothetical Super Cook-a-tron 3000 in furtherance of a particular native.

Professional chefs and housekeepers exist.

My condolences for that loss.

Based upon letting himself get conned by Nick Sharp?

> I assume that some people are just very lonely and need face to face

Anecdata from Hacker News suggests this is true. A lot of lonely young men here freely admit their coworkers are the only people they regularly interact with in-person, and remote work takes that away from them.

No, they didn’t.

Yep. Straight from one such smaller artist’s mouth:

I encourage you to check out an app called Marvis. It’s a frontend for Apple Music (iOS only) that eliminates a lot of the default client’s issues. Until recently, I was paying for Tidal despite having Apple Music as part of my Apple One subscription, but switched back once I discovered Marvis.

> I wonder how much of this has to do with the rabid push for diversity in media, academia, and industry.

Less than it has to do with you seeing woke boogeymen lurking in every shadow.

I rather doubt grandma pressing OK when asked to install the CoolWebSearch toolbar would hold up as a legal defense.

Probably section numbers that copied and pasted weirdly.

Likewise, I would urge anyone reading this comment to view it as a prime example of why HN posters’ opinions on fiction (or any art) should be taken with a grain of salt.
