That’s a very poor and totally off assumption to start with, and makes it seem like YouTube is extremely generous. I’d guess YouTube shares, at best, 20% of the ad revenue with the content creator.
It would be great if you could build on this, make it more accessible and get it to work for replying, voting, flagging, etc. I like how the main comments are separated as cards.
With more third party efforts like this, maybe one day YC can be shamed into making HN look better and more accessible.
Even the iPhoto of that time (on iOS) had features that Photos doesn’t have till today (I recall buying iPhoto that allowed erasing things from a photo or blurring things from a photo just by using one’s finger).
An old article about a Media Rage update on Mac World: https://www.macworld.com/article/175779/mediarage19.html
Did O’Reilly start selling ebooks again? Directly? Several years ago it stopped doing that and pushed the Safari or O’Reilly subscription as the only way to read its catalog of books. I provided feedback at that time, but the policies didn’t change. But I have seen some O’Reilly books in Humble Bundle sales once in a while.
There was also a time when O’Reilly and Apress would have a “deal of the day” every single day, selling ebooks at a much lower price than retail..all DRM free. I haven’t seen those in years.
> The e-commerce giant has committed the amount for over five years and to secure more than one million Microsoft 365 license seats, according to the report.
What’s the scope of the deal beyond Microsoft 365 and how much does each license cost? The numbers, based on a back-of-the-envelope-calculation [1], make it seem like Amazon couldn’t negotiate better rates for such high volumes because its stuck with having to deal with Microsoft.
[1]: 1 billion over five years is 200 million a year. With 1 million seats (keeping it at the lower bounds), it’s $200 per user per year, which is $16+ per user per month. Microsoft Business Premium is currently on sale for those who buy from its website at $19.8 per user per month (usually $22 a month).
You haven’t said if you emailed Tim Cook to see if they take it more seriously. I’ve read anecdotes of some people getting their problems solved by writing to some top names at Apple. No guarantee that it’d work, but it’s worth a try.
These kind of comments seem to be low effort because they don't really show an insight into what has changed. Of course, if you compare an iPhone from one year to the previous year, it may seem minor. But claiming confidently that not much has changed in six years is hyperbole. The improvements in camera, screen brightness, colors and many others strongly disagree with such claims.
> A used iPhone 13 Pro Max in great condition is about $450 these days where I a.m.
Of course, this could be a great alternative to buying a new phone since it's only two generations behind and is also a Pro model. It will do well for some more years (software wise) and probably need a battery replacement around that same time (depending on how it's been used till now).
What exactly does depressing the clutch do as compared to not doing it and starting the vehicle in neutral? Is it to reduce the engine load further? Or something else?
Reading it and then concluding what it is or who it’s meant for is worth it. I read it long ago and found it interesting.
While generally true, I don’t think this holds good everywhere. I recall watching some episodes of “Salt Fat Acid Heat” where the amount of salt used seemed to be quite high for day-to-day cooking (even leaving aside the salt that gets drained out with water).
If yes, why is it that a very common advice from doctors and all kinds of “health information sites” is to cut salt and sodium to manage or reduce high blood pressure? Is the sensitivity to sodium not easy to detect or is it actually more prevalent in the population?
Does anyone know how Borg 1.x and 2 would compare to Kopia?
Most people on the planet would have an opinion that “having more money” is a good thing. Does this mean money is god for most people? Money has the ability to bring power, happiness, peace of mind. It also has the ability to bring suffering, anxiety, worry. All these are things that happen to people who believe in a god or multiple gods.
Instead of looking for shared opinions, it may be better to look at the human condition and the sheer uncertainty of bad events and good events. That things can be, and frequently are, out of our control is what makes people create gods as a support system.
So why “him”, “he” and other patriarchal references if god is beyond all our understanding? Haven’t you just created god in your image?
If you’d like to have a more powerful experience with file dialogs, the paid application Default Folder X [1] is worth it.
I’m not entirely clear on what your requirement here is. Historically, Mac OS X/OS X/macOS has had a different app and windowing model compared to Linux. If you’re looking to switch between windows of a single app, you can use the keyboard shortcut Cmd + ~ (that’s Command and tilde). There are also trackpad gestures to see all windows of an application (swipe down with three or four fingers) and switch.
I’d like to prepay for a year or longer for critical services so that in case something goes wrong (card expired, didn’t notice reminder emails, temporarily off the grid, temporarily incapacitated), things just don’t go poof.
This is news to me. Wouldn’t a statically linked binary be just machine code with all the libraries and the addresses resolved at link time (i.e., no symbols to resolve at runtime) and bundled within the single executable file by the linker? Or are you referring to specific language implementations of “static” (since it’s in quotes) binaries?
I haven’t read in-depth about ASLR, but I thought it was mainly for libraries loaded dynamically (at runtime) where better security could possibly be achieved by the randomization of addresses. The OS has had the capability to load the (main) executable at any address even before ASLR.
Any pointers to deeper reading material on this?
There are services like rsync.net that support borg at a lower price. Borgbase is one of them. I haven’t used either of these.
While on the price, patio11 (Patrick) has written an article about tarsnap’s issues more than nine years ago (April 2014). One of the suggestions was to raise prices, IIRC. It’s a long post, but you can read it [1] and the HN post [2] from that time.
