I know someone who has constant issues with their Window PC breaking Chrome and the only known short term fix to get Chrome working again was to rename the app to something like Chrome1. When that no longer works, the only option was to reinstall Chrome.

Don't know how wide spread the issue is but if that's happening, it's not surprising Edge would become the default, especially with reports of other dark patterns people are experiencing.

We can barely agree on what the definition of middle class is. A quick search shows one source quoting anywhere between $48,500 to $145,500 a year which is a very broad range. Part of this is cost of living varies significantly in different parts of the US. With the current average salary, average home price, and current interest rates, people aren't wrong that housing is very unaffordable in most places.

Primarily computing. Right now that might mean a clunky headset tethered to your Macbook Pro to power the OS in virtual windows but the dream has always been advancing tech to the point where you could wear a pair of glasses and have all the computing power and OS running in the cloud (to remove the need for most of the hardware to be on the device). I'm a big fan of that vision.

I am looking forward to the Apple Vision Pro and spatial computing. I'd love to compare the experience Apple is creating against existing AR/VR competitors. I think a lot of people still vastly underestimates the potential here due to the existing underwhelming experiences we've had going into the space.

I briefly played around with the options here and didn’t see any specific questions that triggered an incorrect response from GPT-4, which I’m sure exists. It would be interesting to have that available and revisit this post when a future version of GPT comes out to attempt and try asking the same question again.

Perhaps a better lesson we all can learn from should be “don’t idolize” rather than “don’t meet your idols”. Learn from the good and the bad and grow from the experience.

Reminds me of the famous quote from The Dark Knight, “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain”. No one, companies included, is perfect. You stick around long enough, you’ll find the bad.

Depending on the email service provider, for domain emails, you can create a group email that forwards to all parties added to the group.

So you can create a group email address such as family@smith.com that forwards to both john@smith.com and jane@smith.com and any other family members that’s part of the group. This is how we have it setup.

Dang, HN’s moderator, have written about this before. Here is a recent example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35178503

Generally speaking, a waitlist isn’t interesting and doesn’t add value because users can’t try the product. It might be valuable to the creator but it can wait to be announced on HN when the product is ready.

As some others have suggested, you could write a detailed blog post about the values and share other details to see if that is valuable to the community and perhaps offer an opt in on your blog instead.

Good luck!
