Despicable. What an obscene leader + board to not have the guts to remove him properly.

Thing is: I want macOS, not Windows.

or, run your own Hotline server https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotline_Communications

What the Trump administration has done, and is doing, to people wildly obscene — and I think evil.

Let's not mince words. My heart goes out to everyone impacted by all this.

CHM employee here. Always great to see CHM on HN. Glad folks are excited about this -- as are we! There's so much cool stuff in the Collection.

download the Whole Foods app. It solely exists to display the QR code on startup.

I agree.

nope, been there as an entrepreneur where you have NO available funds when the Squarespace renewal hits.

It's a lot.

Love to see this.

love this

As a CHM staffer who produced the Lisa@40 and Mac@40 events, I'm so gratified to hear these were as meaningful to you as they were to me! :)

So grateful to have you as a member. Don't miss our upcoming 1995 retrospective event focusing on Netscape's IPO and Windows 95 & Internet Explorer, on August 26! Should be a another fun nostalgic event: https://computerhistory.org/events/1995-the-internets-big-ba...

Oh, and I sat in on the interview with Bill Atkinson posted by OP and it's great to see this clip getting some love from HN. Our Oral History program is so awesome too. --David Murphy

Speaking personally, I find this utterly deplorable.

whoa!!

It's an absolute shame Apple killed their car project

As a lifelong Mac geek (I work for the Computer History Museum, where I organized our Macintosh 40th Anniversary and Lisa 40th events), I just want to say love this :)

The nolstalgia is real. Thanks for your hard work!

awesome. I shared this with colleagues at the Computer History Museum!!

On a somewhat related note, check out the video of Tuesday's Computer History Museum x IEEE Spectrum event, "The Great Chatbot Debate: Do LLMs Really Understand?"

Speakers: Sébastien Bubeck (OpenAI) and Emily M. Bender (University of Washington). Moderator: Eliza Strickland (IEEE Spectrum).

Has anyone seen any indication the UK might be demanding similar backdoors in Signal?

Is Signal likely to be compromised too?

so cool to hear how Hotline impacted you -- really cool.

So cool to load HN and see this.

I was on Hotline's founding team in the 90s that joined with Adam Hinkley to promote and grow Hotline -- here's a press release I wrote for Hotline's appearance at Macworld Expo SF '98: https://wiki.preterhuman.net/Hotline_MacWorld_Expo_1998 (That site has lots more Hotline related archival stuff at https://wiki.preterhuman.net/Category:Hotline )

Fun memories. We of course on the Hotline team used Hotline itself to keep in touch with each other around the world -- at that point, Adam in Australia and the rest of us across the US and Canada. Fun antics in the group chat. =)

It was a really fun time. At its peak Hotline went on to be used by millions, and even by companies like Apple, GM, and Avid. I particularly loved the Toronto Star quote that called Hotline "a major force in the online world" at the time.

These days I work for the Computer History Museum and have lots of Hotline stuff adorning my cubicle :) )

sweet! thanks for posting

Anyone who read "The Mac is not a typewriter" — a fantastic book of the early computer age — likely uses em dashes.

US didn't have it to my knowledge, so it was indeed a novelty when visiting Europe in the 90s to experience it.

outrageous.

gov't should be massively funding at an absolutely epic scale

Workers should not return to the office.

WFH or remote work should be permanent for all -- CEOs and low level staffers.

Time to email exec team

I'd like to see outdoor park / landscape designers actually think of shade issues when thinking of shade umbrellas, shade roof overheads, etc.

I used to work outdoors somewhere where the "shade" providing roof and umbrellas were useless many hours of the day, due to the actual position of the sun.

I work at CHM, and we had a staff lunch today coincidentally. I raised a (non-alcoholic) toast in tribute to Gordon Bell with colleagues as we dined at my lunch table. Grateful for his legacy!

Here he is speaking at a CHM event last year on Ethernet's 50th: https://youtu.be/T9On2L0-ObU?t=2267

I'm a big believer in Reddit, but NOT its current CEO, Steve Huffman, who has shown some horrible leadership. (See: how he handled third party apps.) He has to go.
