> Why people bringing token prices ?

Enterprises needs to pay for API, they cannot use subs (for various reasons). In work environment it’s a higher chance you will pay raw token prices than have a sub.

You can make the Linux installation on Apple Sillicon Macs pretty painless nowadays. One terminal command on macOS, reboot to Linux, run one script - voila.

You probably also never met Elon. By your logic you shouldn’t use Hacker News just like Twitter.

> Now his brain droppings make it into everyone’s feed by default, from what I understand.

You can see only Tweets from people you follow and nothing else. As I said, you are controlling the buttons you push.

Sir, you are controlling the buttons you push. I.e. it's up to you who you follow and what exactly you read on Twitter - just like any other social network.

There are news that are circulating much faster on Twitter than anywhere else (for example about war in Ukraine). There are people and companies that post only on Twitter and nowhere else (especially in tech).

> If you don’t trust the Bun team when they release a Rust version and give it their stamp of approval, why did you trust them when they released the Zig version two weeks ago?

I think you cannot make this comparison because Rust version wasn’t in fact written by the Bun team. It wasn’t even read by them.

Home distillation is very popular in Poland too. Risk of getting poisoned from it is near zero in practice. In some parts of Poland there is more home-distilled alcohol bottles at the tables during weddings than commercial ones.

In many European countries you will be offered home-distilled drinks, you would be very unlucky to get anything else than hangover.

The problem is overblown.

> I don't think an apple watch would help there?

You can authorize via Apple Watch everything you can authorize via Touch ID. You get the notification on the Watch, and you need to press the button twice to auth.

I don't remember if it works every time, or only when MacBook is closed and connected to external display/keyboard.

> For which country?

At least one of the authors is Russian. They were giving away Helium stickers to “anyone who is in Moscow”, and not many non-Russians are traveling there nowadays.

Box is relevant in enterprise space. It's a very different business than Dropbox.

> because you can go further with fewer people

Can you though? From my experience this is just a wishful thinking. I am yet to see actual productivity gains from AI that would objectively justify hiring less or laying off people.

I don’t think anyone is surprised.

Arbitrarily choose an option, but expose the fact that you've auto-resolved a conflict and allow the user to manually re-resolve. This requires even more UI work than option 1.

This is what every "cloud file sharing" provider like Dropbox is doing. If there is a conflict, the version on the server is "the right one", and your locally conflicted file is copied on the side with some annotation in the file name.
