Do you have a PiHole?

>If crypto mining on their systems becomes profitable for us, why would they continue renting out their servers? Instead, they could cease their operations and become full-time miners themselves.

Long term vs. short term thinking. It's more beneficial for them to maintain long term customers than mine a volatile cryptocurrency in the short term.

Like psychopaths.

Good point, I stand corrected.

I agree. There is a lot of value in discovery. Just being on the App Store puts software in front of peoples eyeballs who otherwise may not ever know it exists. Is discovery worth 30%? I honestly don't know, but it's worth something.

I think they should include macOS in new iPads as a dual boot option and allow users to connect the iPad to a monitor. This is what I do with my MacBook Air and I'm sure many, many iPad users would find this tremendously useful. Ditto for iPhone.

> Then someday may be they could allow Apple TV to be a Router so there is one less devices in my living room. And they could also act as a mesh system.

This is a great idea! Also, it would be awesome if Apple offered a version of Apple TV as a sound bar. Ideally it would be sound bar/router/tvOS.

Wouldn’t you need more than 800 people to get a statistically significant result?

I don’t know who the other two are but Dave Rubin, a right wing radical? He’s a classical liberal for crying out loud!

Isn’t his podcast still free? I already have a paid account so I honestly don’t know.

>[When you let a trans women competing against cisgender women] you are stealing from [cisgender] women, you are stealing victory, you are cheating, you are fucking 100% cheating, and anybody who says they are not is an asshole.

^ What’s wrong with that statement? It’s a crude way to phrase things, but it’s true. Saying trans women have a biologic advantage when competing against cis women is not transphobic.

So, by your own admission, you’re basing your criticism of Joe Rogan on hearsay? Also, there is absolutely nothing wrong with interviewing controversial people. Maybe I’m in the minority these days but I personally like hearing contrarian views because it allows me to form my own opinion on people and subjects without relying on others to tell me what to believe.

New Zealand is an island nation, which gives it a pretty significant advantage when it comes to controlling pandemics.

To be fair, it’s like that everywhere now.

The “companies can choose to sell or not sell whatever they want” line of reasoning falls apart when you consider the fact that these big tech companies are either legit monopolies or sort of “grey area” monopolies. When you have only a few gate-keepers who effectively control what nearly everyone can access, the existing rules need to be re-evaluated with that in mind.

I don’t think he’s saying it discounts anything; he’s saying that’s when he lost respect for Musk.

I think one theory is that it’s a huge “light sail” (hence the size). Just what I heard; no idea if this has any merit.

Disabling it on mobile is sensible. In fact, I’m also currently using FF on iOS and will also do this (thanks to you I now know it’s an option). That being said, I still think 0.0000000001% of users won’t disable favicons (especially on desktop).

I’d say “some users” would be 0.00000001% of users

Hey dang. Just want to say I think the new community guidelines are great and you’re doing a good job moderating HN. I stopped coming here for a long time because it seemed every comment was snarky. Everyone was just so rude to each other. I’ve noticed that has dramatically improved! So, thank you.

I live in a condo with underground parking. I had an EV charger installed over a year ago.

Perhaps if they are given to children, it would result in them permanently developing 20/20 vision.

Yup. You mean UpWork, or companies like it.

> What will make WhatsApp lose?

It would have to be something fundamental. Any new feature that gains significant popularity can easily be added to WhatsApp (e.g. stories); in addition to having network effects working in their favour.

This doesn’t negate your comment but I would like to add that I support Sci-Hub because I think charging for publicly funded content is just wrong on so many levels. Simply put, the laws need to change; and when/if they do, Twitter won’t have to do this sort of thing.

Please elaborate... I’m curious.

I own a Tesla with FSD. Can confirm, there is no self driving car.

Would be a fitting end to 2020; super COVID released from ancient arctic ice.
