acd10j··on The bottom is dropping out of Netflix
I think one of the main reasons for netflix troubles is competition catching up. With such a huge historical library Disney is killing Netflix at one extreme, and HBO max and prime on another. There is nothing unique that netflix offers. Occasionally few good shows but no lasting property.
acd10j··on SoCal man says computer on his Tesla froze, causing it to be stuck at 83 MPH

acd10j··on Waymo begins driverless rides in San Francisco
I don’t think retrofit will work at scale, as maintaining a retrofit for so many models for software as well as hardware will work, building a new model in keeping self driving in mind will be much more cheaper in long run.
acd10j··on The day Steve Jobs dissed me in a keynote (2010)
Hearing this story makes my heart boil in rage. Is only way to achieve true success is by being ass Like Jobs ? If you have read anything about him by accounts of people who know him, You will know that he prepared that speech to spite on Sivers. Once his ego was satisfied after Sivers had to refund the money he then gave a go ahead for deal. There is no benefit of doubt about it.

acd10j··on Apple unveils contactless payments via Tap to Pay on iPhone
Yes, Apple is increasingly competing with Governments of the worlds, in taxation of digital ecosystems, I am sure as they sabotage this market by these steep taxation, their will be blow back from governments as well after lobbying form business, They are not so small now like Nintendo that they can get away with this steep cuts. Problem is that governments will retaliate by arm twisting apple to approve third party app stores, which will be bad for whole iPhone ecosystem.

Most of them don’t bother with employee provisioning profiles, also not everyone has sufficient leverage to demand a iphone with their employer.
acd10j··on This app does not support the App Store’s private and secure payment system
I do not want Apple to enable side loading, as it will enable people like employers, Government shady companies to build apps and mandate it to install for accessing some very important functionality, also will trigger, carriers provided phones to have non app store crap installed like in Android phones. At the same time i think Apple is sabotaging all of us by insisting on getting this steep 30% cut. As no government will allow such a huge additional tax on its companies apart from its national tax in long run. This is becoming a lose-lose situation for us.

How do we know someone not paying you for recommending Mullvad here or you do not have conflict of interest in recommending Mullvad, I have seen people recommending ExpressVPN everywhere even on HN before this whole fiasco. Problem with paid reviews is that it is very difficult to ascertain and detect them for ordinary consumer. Don’t know the solution but now i am skeptical of comments like you have posted.

University students could be naive and could be rapped by community if they unintentionally commit harmful patches, but if they send intentionally harmful patches, maintainers can report them to university and they risk getting expelled.
