My food truck curry order contains more unrecyclable waste than AirPods.

Let alone headphones? You could throw away a pair of AirPods every day and it would still constitute a tiny fraction of what (Americans) produce in waste on a yearly basis.

Why spend $100 on a nice dinner, we'll just have to eat again in 8 hours.

This is what dystopia looks like.

Sounds like someone’s been reading The 4-Hour Workweek.

and climate threats, and gun threats, and water threats, and air threats, and economic threats, and infrastructure threats, and health threats...

I believe it's a previously undiscovered form of clickbait.

>Dogs were the preferred animal for the experiments because scientists felt dogs were well suited to endure long periods of inactivity.

Wow, 2 plus 2 really did equal 5 for Soviet apparatchiks!

It’s definitely a Cocoa app. The latest version uses a web view for the actual canvas, though.

Espresso — rarely updated but beautifully designed HTML/CSS IDE

TablePlus — elegant database app

Antetype — my all-time favorite app. The only UI design app I’ve ever encountered that is built from the ground up for UI design rather than being a torturously adapted drawing app.

The integration of hardware and software is and has always been one of the things that make Apple's products best-in-class. I'm not sure what your point is.

And yet most of Apple's products are consistently best-in-class, so I guess it's working for them? And a bumper crop of bugs in a point zero macOS release doesn't count as a disaster. They've been shipping super buggy point zeros for two decades.

Will people who ignore and distort some facts in bad faith not do so for other facts? Seems unlikely.

Complaints without suggestions are really the worst.

Maybe they could call it Konfabulator.

Same goes for religion, I guess. Often hard to separate the two, though.

Racism is one of the most profoundly transformational forces in human history, and yet it is entirely contrived, arbitrary, and voluntary.

Ahh, the smell of freedom!

Amazon is under the (mistaken?) assumption that the Echo was popular for any reason besides the fact that it makes playing music super easy.

No need to green-light spaghetti—there's always plenty of room on the wall.

Why does everyone who praises Apple on HN qualify it with the fact that they don’t like Apple for other reasons? Also, Apple is probably the best corporate citizen of any company its relative size in history.

The NYT banging the Iraq war drum back in 2002-03 was enough for me to develop terminal cynicism about that particular august institution.

Indeed, it would seem that some companies are successful while others are not!

It's almost as if CO2 is a sort of "greenhouse" gas!

Why do we need to protect our borders? Why not just let people live wherever they can afford?

>science journalism

I think this is the case for pretty much every area of journalism. If you are a subject matter expert, you quickly realize that 90% of coverage of that subject is dreadful.

The only responsible thing for Apple to do here is remove all networking functionality from the iPhone. If the iPhone 11 has a cellular modem, they blew it.

What has struck me from reading history, US history at least, is how often intelligence reports prepared by the CIA, State Department, et al are accurate and predict more or less accurately what the outcome of a given situation will be. But time and time again, presidents will ignore their own agencies in favor of what they deem most politically or personally attractive. Makes me think that the whole idea of elected representatives is flawed. I think I'd rather be governed by people who got where they are because of expertise and experience in their field.

It's funny how we pigeonhole "things that actually matter" as "politics" and that those things are somehow taboo. I mean, what's MORE worth talking about than human rights, the environment, history, etc.?
