I certainly keep a latest-gen console around so that I can play cross-play enabled games with my PC buddies. I don't have the patience or space for another computer, so a console is the next best thing. I will never have the best graphics nor control over performance, but the trade-off is worth it.

...There was an HN Minecraft server community?

I know someone who wired their turn signal / high beam stalk to need to be pulled while turning the ignition key. Back in the early-mid 90s, my dad had a tiny light switch that needed to be toggled before starting the car.

It's ridiculous this sort of thing is needed, but it's sort of...fun?

I'm oversimplifying here, but carmakers do need EV divisions to bridge the gap. They need to be independent but be supported by the top of the organization. There's way too many stakeholders involved in the ICE orgs that could hamper progress here.

Another thing - these companies need to commit to building actual EV-first platforms instead of doing the weird platforms that supports both ICE and BEV which come with tradeoffs in packaging and driving dynamics.

Can you expand on the "at least half" part?

On an income of $200k in California, for example, your tax rate is something like 8% (marginal). If you total it up with federal taxes, it's something like a 27% tax rate.

Ha, seems like this someone doesn't know when and where to pick their battles. Yes, sometimes you can really push for change when you come up with a real, convincing argument. Or, A/B test the crap out of it.

When I was on the front-end of the stack, it really taught me "disagree and commit" often with product and design. Unless it's something existential, there's almost no reason to accept "good enough", move forward, measure, and iterate.

Hard agree, I'd rather not leetcode-ify* the health system. Nor do I want to see swaths of businesses dedicated to cracking the medical leetcode interview.

*because it really feels as if some companies translate leetcode skills to actual skills

These do have those flush door handles. They sit flush when the car is locked.

Agreed, but I have my gripes with the system. We waited a long time for Apple Music to come to the infotainment - and even then it's slow, you cannot adjust to a higher music quality, you can't download playlists to local storage, I need to login every month, etc.

Additionally, my 2019 Model 3's infotainment is noticeably slower than a 2023's. I'd hate to be limited by compute in a car that I'll probably replace in 8 years. If it's my phone, the replacement time is much shorter (and much more affordable!).

It would not stop me from buying another Tesla. The infotainment is generally fantastic (as is the rest of the car). But CarPlay would make the music and podcast experience so much better.

On a personal level, yes, I'd be much less concerned with China having my data than my own government.

On a national scale? Well, I certainly do not want an adversary with an interest in overtaking the U.S. have both data and means to manipulate the opinions of its citizens.

iOS does not have "Keychain Access" as a named setting or app.

MacOS has both Keychain Access as a standalone app, and Passwords as a section in your settings. The latter is dedicated to purely passwords that you, as the user, make. Keychain Access also contains passwords for Wi-Fi and other systems.

I really like Apple's implementation of passwords, passkeys, etc. But...I had a hard time explaining this to my mom.

She uses it to generate her passwords and fill-in within Safari which is great!

But there's no "Passwords" app, and she didn't know to go into Settings to reference a password when Safari doesn't recognize a password field (probably the website's fault).

2FA is also a confusing experience, but 2FA is also just confusing enough for her where Apple isn't really the problem here.

So I have yet to use ChatGPT (I know, I know), but are you able to keep long running threads with it? How does it know context about your app? Are you simply copying and pasting code?

This is really cool to hear about.

This one hits home, but I also am not sure if it lines up neatly with the definition. I only have significant physical reaction to certain sounds when I'm at my place of residence (I've had this for the past five years and have moved around plenty).

Particular triggering noises? Kids playing basketball in the neighbor's yard, kids screaming during play, cars playing music with bass loud enough where you can hear the car rattling, and...coughing / clearing one's throat.

For most of these things, I imagine people also get annoyed with these sounds when trying to focus on work, as I do. But even if I'm doing something that I don't consider important (e.g. cooking, watching TV, etc.), my heart rate goes up and I get irritable. This all only irritates me when I'm at home. Maybe it's the feeling of not being able to change the environment around me (i.e. the feeling of being trapped as mentioned in the article)?
