bnt··on Its butterfly keyboard design has failed, but Apple has yet to admit its mistake
How about wifi? I am experiencing random wifi disconnects ever since the mid-2014 MBP all throughout the current-gen 12” MB. It’s so infuriating that I had to disable wifi and Bluetooth altogether and switch to a dongle with an Ethernet connector. I changed routers and even my home (!!) to see if the issue persists (it does). And I’m not alone, forums have similar cases dating years prior to me.
bnt··on Some airlines and regulators ground 737 Max in wake of Ethiopian Airlines crash
Are you just copy/pasting this across different discussions on this topic? While I personally like the proposal (I am no pilot so it may be a dumb idea to a professional), c/p the same post is just noise.
bnt··on Waymo: Bringing 3D perimeter Lidar to partners
Calling The Verge “independent” is a bit missleading.
bnt··on Ask HN: How do you relax without drugs/alcohol/sex/exercise?
I prefer silence. I am fortunate to have a couple of hours/day when my spouse and kid and dog our out, and I use that to shut everything off an just enjoy the silence. I am also the most productive during those hours, and I spend my time cleaning / cooking / just sitting down and drinking my coffee while looking out through the window.
bnt··on VW, BMW and Daimler hold talks on cooperation in self-driving cars
Cost control. They are already working together on various different things. In the high end market, it doesn’t matter if you have your own self-driving software or you co-develop. People who purchase a Mercedes vs BMW select base on different things like brand loyalty and perception. To me (personally), I would always pick BMW over an Audi or Mercedes, even if they all came from the same groupation / factory, because it’s the brand I care about.
bnt··on Open source, privacy-enabled smartphone operating systems
Can’t we just enjoy the sarcasm?
bnt··on Company Update
First 10% of SpaceX, and now 7% of Tesla. Wonder how much of those 7% are SolarCity folks.
bnt··on Notion – All-in-one workspace for notes, tasks, wikis, and databases
And Coda.io
bnt··on Notion – All-in-one workspace for notes, tasks, wikis, and databases
(disclaimer: I'm building something similar)

Why is it every time something like Notion is mentioned, there is always someone who wants "local, self-hosted, Markdown"? Just build it yourself.

This clearly shows you have no understanding of the product at hand. Notion is so incredibly powerful that Markdown doesn't even scratch the surface here.

bnt··on Ask HN: Go-to web stack today?
I’m actually surprised Laravel isn’t mentioned much here.
bnt··on AT&T will put a fake 5G logo on its 4G LTE phones
I have my popcorn out, do it! Just don’t start with VW.
bnt··on Why you should learn F#
Honest question: As someone who does web development and is looking to learn a new programming language in 2018, would you recommend F# over Elixir (and why)?
bnt··on [dead]
Talk about poor timing to go into crypto
bnt··on Preparations companies are making for Brexit
Or are Brit plumbers simply overvalued and Eastern Europeans represent the true value of plumbing? I’m not sure if I should put a /s here or if I actually believe this.
bnt··on The Next Billion Dollar Disruption, Real Time Animation
Today you can get 3D motion in pretty much real time just from your iPhone videos https://getrad.co (not affiliated with them, just like the app)
bnt··on Free EBook: React and React Native by Adam Boduch (27-Oct)
Points me to a Rust book instead?
bnt··on List of 600 free online courses launched by 190 universities
Ah, I didn't do my due diligence before commenting.
bnt··on List of 600 free online courses launched by 190 universities
Had to dig through my inbox to find it (originally published on Oct 10) https://medium.freecodecamp.org/190-universities-just-launch...
bnt··on List of 600 free online courses launched by 190 universities
Wait, isn’t this list a ripoff from freeCodeCamp?
bnt··on Amazon Employee: We Shouldn’t Sell Facial Recognition Tech to Police
Kicking a high-profile account like Palantir off of AWS would probably have a domino effect which would result in pretty much every big player moving to custom data centers (or preparing a plan-b just in case it happens to them).
bnt··on Ask HN: I am currently the only developer in a startup. What to expect?
This. This so many times.
bnt··on Why I’m Worried About Google
It's not web-based.
bnt··on Why I’m Worried About Google
To me it sounds like we need a Libre Office of Google Docs (web based). Everyone is worried about tracking and privacy, but what about the productivity tools? If you quit Google, you also abandon the GSuite - which is quite nice.
bnt··on Questions
Jews were forced into banking, because they were forbidden to do agriculture or cattle back in Europe. Banking was considered dirty, so Christians didn't want to do it. Jews did what they were allowed - banking, philosophy, medicine, science - and they became masters of the craft.
bnt··on How old is your work laptop?
Currently running an i7 15” MacBook Pro - from 2014 and have no issues with it.
bnt··on [dead]
First time I wish I had enough karma to downvote a link from the front page. Clickbait with no actual value.
bnt··on Moving from Azure to Google Cloud Platform
Azure credits.
bnt··on State of React Native 2018
Sounds more like a quick response to the news that Microsoft is building Office on RN.
bnt··on Harley Davidson’s EV debut could electrify the motorcycle industry
Not really. A) It’s missing the “feel” of a Harley (e.g. the feeling of the engine between your legs), and B) Riding it in big cities where the sound of the Harley gas engine is an advantage (car drivers can hear you and not hit you when you’re in the blind spot) means the quiet electric engine could actually get you killed.
bnt··on International Travel Guide for Basecamp employees
I'm from Eastern Europe and I (literally) just flew back from a 2 week work trip from the US (California):

- Getting a visa was a painless process. I just applied and I got a business visa.

- Entering the States required me to show my passport. Nothing else. Nobody asked me why I was going there, nobody asked me to show my phone or laptop (I had both). There was no separation, pat downs etc.
