I agree with the sentiment, but costs do impact revenue when those costs represent an investment in something that can be used to increase revenue, like employees.

Nothing compared to loss of life and suffering of the Ukrainian people of course, but: this is sad.

From the article: "It will cost over USD3 billion to restore the plane [...]".

This seems extremely high. I'd expect maybe high hundreds of millions. I appreciate that they're hardly like-for-like, but the A380 unit cost was something like $400M, which I think has maybe double the tonnage of the An-225. Where does the extra couple of billion come from?

Please consider adding instructions for reproducing the issue to this thread. E.g. what's the name of the business that's using your URL, and what's your URL? Without such instructions it's much harder for others on HN, or from Google, to help.

As far as I can tell, that GIF is showing Duo video quality before and after using a new codec design to improve quality particularly over low-bandwidth connections.

Nice! I think there's an error in the bottom-left of the footer, which says "Day of the Day", instead of "Day of the Dead"?

Just like any other email provider supporting POP3/IMAP.

Hmm. This article refers to the data centre as an "Apple Factory" and misspells Tim Cook's name.

Interesting article, but would greatly benefit from a "TL;DR" summary at the top.

I would argue that this could be counter-productive. 24/7 immersion in an employer-owned and operated environment doesn't sound healthy from a work/life balance perspective.

It'd be interesting to see an animation of the diamond/square iteration progressing in 3D, starting with a flat surface and ending with the finished terrain :)
