I did mention that, but it's a connected workspace so each of these apps can talk to each other. Think like notion's "/link to database" function. Basically, none of these apps are designed to be standalone SaaS products, but instead they can exist in a workspace together.

Apps can subscribe to updates from other apps so a photos app could aggregate media from across the workspace, and also platform-wide actions like a custom right click menu that pipes into specific app functionalities.

I’ve been seeing this pattern a lot recently on HN. Single prompt preachy website designed to get attention.

Even if I’m in support of the subject matter (how many hours apple bugs waste for example), I think it’s generally in bad taste to be wasting the time of everyone on HN by fooling people with a website that’s meant to imitate something thought invoking.

Jensen mentioned on a podcast (sorry I don’t have a link on me, it was either the all in podcast or Lex Friedman) that they are helping support and harden on the security side, and that he considers it like the “iPhone moment”

Most of these larger players are interested in supporting anything that helps grow the ecosystem so broadly.

I grew up in Pennsylvania and have visited Centralia a few times over the years. When I was younger, I remember being able to see smoke rise from the ground, but in recent years, I haven’t seen anything almost as if the fire has subsided a bit.

Pennsylvania is filled with old coal mining towns, and most of them are in a state of decay. Towns like Pottsville, Pennsylvania have buildings crumbling down on their main streets.

If anything, I think Centralia is representative of where these other towns could be in 50 to 100 years, assuming people move to larger communities. Barring the fire under the ground, of course.

I’ll take you at your word, sorry for the incorrect callout. Your comment format appeared malicious, so my response wasn’t an attempt at being “snarky”, just acting defensively. I like the HN Rules/Guidelines.

That’s great to hear, definitely worth the effort for the kids.

Just a word of warning, thermal printer paper has dangerous levels of BPA.

This is a fan edited compilation. The original raw source docs are public domain, but this is a 3rd party website.

I’ve been skeptical of secondary dumb phones for a while, Given that they are so lacking and many of the useful features, I need on a daily basis.

That said it’s become clear to me that even different profiles on my phone don’t solve the problem of distraction In the same way that putting my phone in another room/using a different device does.

To speculate a bit: if I were able to use generative UI To customize the experience on my phone, I could enable useful tools like posting to social media, while disabling distracting features like scrolling through the newsfeed. In this way, I could separate my consumption and creation time for more than I can now.
