I learned from a young age how to drive with a trailer, and I have experience with 30ft fifth-wheels.

Because it’s a task that teenagers are expected to do safely?

Driving as a profession does not require skill.

What is this supposed to mean?

This is why I never want iMessage interop with Android

Probably the same type of surveys that I did for Nexon as a teenager in exchange for Nexon bucks.

Great Firewall would like a word…

Tried opening the link on iOS with my app’s built-in Safari browser.

In time Spotify will back down just like they did with native Apple Watch support. Pretty easy for them to take this stance when very few customers will own the first gen, but give it a decade for a cheaper version that’s mass adopted and we will see them bending over to please their customers.

There’s a time and a place for discussing the merits of helmet usage. An article about a recall of 300,000+ devices should have the article be centered around the safety of the device, not about how a company’s negligence would have been fine if the people wore a helmet.

In my eyes, it’s the same as a journalist talking about how a sexual assault victim wouldn’t have been assaulted if they simply hadn’t gotten drunk that night.

Big companies aren’t asking for this. Start pointing blame to the consumers who ask for something without realizing the consequences.

> Red flag here

Impressionable students believe they can go to college, do little to no work actually comprehending the material they’re going to be using in their field of choice, and then go all “shocked pikachu” when they graduate and are unemployable.

It’s not a college problem. It’s a student problem. They believe just because they have a degree that they’re entitled to high paying jobs when a degree isn’t that special anymore.

A person traveling to this event doesn’t even register as a blip on the carbon emissions scale, please stop this rhetoric that implies your average person can have any meaningful impact.

All well and good but I never mentioned performance. Of course they’re able to do the job, no doubts there. But the bottom line is US companies are firing US workers not because they need to, but because they want an excuse to hire cheaper workers through an immigration program.

I reported a bug months ago where app router hydration errors were occurring while copy and pasting example code directly from their official docs. Still hasn’t been fixed.

I will never recommend a project use Next for as long as I’m a software engineer. Maybe a bit dramatic, but a dumpster fire is brewing over at Next.

Not relevant to the article being discussed.

The person you’re replying to didn’t mention performance at all, so I’m not sure what you’re trying to imply.

Defending “privacy” while their entire company depends on money from Google. What a foundation.

Keep on donating to Mozilla so they can keep doing these little pet projects with absolutely no impact while paying executives millions of dollars.

I’m not. Mozilla “foundation” is a cancer on the browser I used to love.

> infighting instead of solidarity

Well, it would be easier for non-unionized workers to empathize with unionized if they stopped the ridiculous cancelling/blackmailing/ostracizing of workers who take up “union work”. It’s beyond anticompetitive to go on strike while simultaneously making it career suicide for a young professional who just graduated or something from accepting what would otherwise be a career defining opportunity. The WAG is notorious for this.

The main problem, imho, is that if one can describe the situation and make someone care even a _little_, it’s not enough. There are so many more important things to be worried about throughout one’s lifetime that data privacy doesn’t even register.

Being concerned about how one’s data is being sold is a very “first world problem”, and even in “first worlds” it’s not a very big one for the great majority of the population.

HN’s anti-Apple stance is getting tiring.

Don’t like them? Don’t use them. It’s not hard.

> Right now I'm experiencing the outcome of heavy handed corporate control

Except, you’re not? Nobody has a gun to your head forcing you to use an iPhone. There are other options instead of crying on the internet about how bad Apple is.

At the time I’m writing this 100% of the current comments are something along the lines of “thing bad if Apple approves”.

No time for reading the article, or other research, just straight into the comments with their anti-Apple bias.

> I find it ridiculous that we allow a private company to act as regulator over any sector of the economy, let alone one they have over 50% market share in.

If you feel that way then there are countries with economic models that don’t allow this. Venezuela comes to mind. Maybe you should relocate there so you can experience the outcome of heavy handed government control.

I cannot imagine the effect a ruling like this would have on businesses if you actually got your way. It would very clearly lay out that investing in an ecosystem of hardware products and doing it well will only result in all that investment, time, energy, employee sweat and tears, ALL OF IT, to be rendered useless. Basically setting an entire business on fire.

Quite frankly I find it ridiculous people here are even suggesting this.

> Very inclusive and not dystopian at all

I don’t see how this can be considered dystopian. Some places are going to NEED to be more expensive then others, because they are more desirable than others.

It’s like calling California coastal cities dystopian because of their desirable weather, or whatever factors make people prefer to live in them compared to a small town in Montana.

Yep looks like I was wrong and this is even more disgusting than not calling in sick. I was under the false assumption that every non-exempt employee had 5 days minimum (which isn’t a lot), but restaurants workers have different laws applied to them? Bad look USA.

Not really. While sick days are depressingly few in America, they DO exist. The fact this person took none of them is just nasty.
