On ethernet always get close to 1Gbps on Fast.com by CF shows consistently around 300-400. Wonder if CF is more accurate or Fast.com? I'm imagining CF but such a difference.
I think you mean to say PayPal temporarily stops phone support because of covid. They still accept support messages. Their phone support in the past has been aweful so I always prefer their message support.
By co-workers do you mean people in your same position or you mean you also walk in to your bosses office or your bosses bosses offie and ask them how much they make? Other than companies with unique cultures, I would imagine very few would do that (or get a pleasant response), but if amounts are listed on job descriptions you would know how much everyone above you is making. Even asking 'co-workers' how much they make would vary greatly based on the type of company and job you work in, where that would be deemed acceptable behavior, or result in the person happily telling you. As would also depend on if the person you are asking makes more than you or less, if more they would presumably be less likely to tell you or tell your as honestly.
CarPlay obviously isn’t meant to be safer than not using tech in a car, it’s suppose to be safer than using a cell phone while driving which is most everyone at one time or another. So what masters is how safer it is using the system vs a handheld phone.
Actually looks like Instapaper offers an RSS feed of latest 25 items. So once can use Feedly to organize all RSS feeds, including pulling in from HN and Twitter, and use the native save feature in Feedly, that can also sync to Instapaper. And then use MailBrew to send that Instapaper feed to email, or create an automation on iOS 13.
Was thinking about doing this via iOS 13 Automations, but certainly something I'll check out. I use Feedly which pulls in HN, my other many rss feeds and even Twitter. As use RSS to fav/save the top articles each day that I read later in Feedly Saved or Instapaper. If this service supports sending just content from Feedly Saved and/or Instapaper that would be great.
That is the new news today. The previous news was they would eventually no longer continue to function, todays announcement reaffirms no new features but now says they are working on a plan to make sure they continue to function with other legacy hardware as they do today.
Or another maybe more likely option I guess is that I watched it because it was being featured on one of the app platforms, and then news feed apps/sites know what has been featured and that a lot of people are probably watching a certain show and thus write an article or share an old article that will be top of mind for people. I guess that may be most likely in this particular case.
I literally just watched Catch Me if You Can last night. Haven't in a while. Have noticed before where I just watched or did something and the next day see a news feed item aligning with that. Is it just a coincidence? Something like this seems just too much to be a coincidence. Some how ad targeting? Though I watched through AppleTV, can't remember if through HBO, Amazon Disney+ or Netflix as I use all the apps all the time interchangeable. Ad targeting would seem most likely but unlike when viewing in a browser where I'd expect to be target seems odd when the interaction wasn't in a browser. Or I suppose it could be that these articles are appearing coincidentally, and just having watching/done something very recently my mind recognizes much more than it would otherwise?
Hard to call it a successor of SMS when have the world uses iOS which does not and currently has no plans to support it. So more just another service rather than a replacement for SMS which is a way for all phones to communicate with each other.
I imagine Google views this as a positive thing, trying a million ideas, so that hopefully it increases the chances of having at least one good and popular idea. The downside is, a lot of products they killed were good ideas, but its sink or swim and they don't get the products the needed love and attention so they don't take off and thus they kill them. And now even when releasing a good idea or good piece of hardware people will always be worried if it will be gone tomorrow, which leads to less adoption and more axing of products.
Confused. They are saying that nearly all married couples (male:female) with joint everything and the same credit history are showing consistently the husbands having more credit? Or just one single person out of millions? As one would assume there are probably many similar cases but where the wife got more credit no?
Glad to hear. Google is known for killing products right and left, Google should charge for products people love and rely on to make sure its 100% sustainable and won't go away.
Another issue. When setting time of day you can choose says, but unlike Apple Calendar or any third party calendar app like Fantastical, you can't set custom. Such as Repeat Monday and Wednesday every 2 weeks, etc. Everytime I get excited to use Shortcuts I see seemingly small but major issues that prevent from creating the desired workflow, so end up giving up. Since when it was owned by Workflow had hopes little things like that would get resolved quickly, with Apple, assume if its not part of the first release most likely won't be fixed until next year as a 'feature'.
Ah, just wrote a flattering post here on it, but wasn't aware it still had the manual approval issue which is unfortunate. I understand it for some things like When I arrive home, since otherwise when I'm outside running loops by house, each time I come by the house it would open the garage which wouldn't be good, but so many other cases where manual approval seems odd, and at least should be able to approve with with one click on apple watch with out having to open the notification then approve.
From the title one would assume they are no longer translating their site in Spanish which of course is not the case, rather than had a site run from Mexico City that didn't prove financially viable. "Moving forward, editors will continue to translate signature journalism into more than a dozen languages — including Spanish, which will continue to appear at www.nytimes.com/es — as part of our core mission, and we will increase investment in the expansion of these broader translation efforts.
This change does not affect our coverage of Latin America, which will remain robust with dedicated staff based in Medellin, Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro."
Because then in most cases you bypass 2 factor authentication through sms for people's accounts. And then steal their social media handles or anything. Sites like Twitter only allow SMS 2 factor authentication, so currently no way to avoid the issue, which is why even the CEO was just hacked. One has to assume they are working on real 2 factor authentication. That will help people in the know stay protected, but the average person or simply enables sms 2 factor authentication will still be vulnerable until a company like Apple or something automatically offers 2 factor app for all sites that support 2fa.
I imagine a person is more likely to get that wrong, yes you may get lucky, but also many low wage staffers especially late at night tired could easily be quite confused. Versus an AI that can be programaged on all the various terms people use and be programmed to ask for clarification consistently when a request is made that can often me more than one thing, and even take into factor things such as the location of the McDonalds and the dialects used there. Sure will start off very buggy but then presumably would only get better with more data.
Presumably because the idea is to save money, and a call center forever would be more expensive but the far more realistic issue, if unlike an AI that could provide a consistent on brand experience, with a call center your experience would be hit or miss every time and drive thoughts are already not usually a great experience so a low wage call center would probably be even worse. Taking away jobs is certainly an issue in itself but I imagine overall this will mean a more consistent experience that they can improve over time.
Well they specifically said it’s Pro users... and for everyone else who wants the best of what Apple has to offer. They could certainly remove the 64gb entry option and thus increase the base price but then everyone who only needs 64gb is paying more for a feature they don’t need or want. Rather Apple usually waits until part prices make it so they can both reduce the price and this remove the previous entry model which one can assume will happen in a few years.
To those who only read the HackerNews title and not the title of the actual article, it does not say that Vitamin D does not strengthen bones, but rather higher does don't seem to strengthen more than lower doses, not compared to not taking any at all as one would probably interpret from the HackerNews title.
