More than happy to provided that HN goes back to not being political.

Because you're asking people to support something that will literally take families off of food stamps and remove their healthcare.

So you believe that the majority of HN commenters support the Big Beautiful Bill:

Adding trillions in unfunded liabilities to the US debt, kicking tens of millions off of Medicaid and food snaps, allowing the Trump administration to ignore court rulings just to name a few. Arguably the worst bill in the history of the US.

Tech bros putting their personal wealth and greed ahead of what is best for society.

Because let's be honest here. That is the only reason you're posting this now of all times i.e. in order to help push support for the bill ? I really thought HN was above cynical politics.

> if you lobby for a thing which does not do harm to other people

The reason this is being discussed now is because of its inclusion in the Big Beautiful Bill which will kill the poorest in society by kicking millions off Medicaid and food stamps and increase the debt to unsustainable levels.

So if you support this tax cut for software developers you are the bad guy.

And how does this all get paid for ? It doesn't.

It massively increases the deficit and debt which in turn will have a raft of knock on consequences for the economy and the reputation of the US.

I assume so it can be included in the Big Beautiful Bill.

And if that is the case then shame on everyone who are happy to make themselves wealthier at the expense of the poor.

People are literally going to die because of the cuts to Medicaid/SNAP in this bill.

So is the idea here that the tech community should support the Big Beautiful Bill ?

Because that would be just typical.

Apple provides a battery replacement program.

And you can use third parties as well which Apple now officially supports.

It is just a lie to say you need a new phone.

Do you have some actual evidence that this is the case ?

Otherwise saying it is definitively true is misleading to put it mildly.

You can’t judge battery life and performance off a .0 release when the priority is on delivering features with the minimum number of showstopper bugs. At least wait until the .1.

It has been like this for every Apple release for over 20 years.

Learning requirements of a child are different from an adult.

They are fine with a lossy, imperfect version of how the world works.

> practically everyone is better off with a laptop

The majority of the world are using their phones as a computing device.

And as someone with a MacBook and iPad the later is significantly more ergonomic.

But then you're paying far more than just using Claude web which can be used for tasks other than coding.

a) You still need to code sign on alternative app stores.

b) All of your users are still going come through the Apple one.
