These comments are mainly condemning the police. While they are definitely at fault here, so is society in the US as a whole. It's become pretty common in the states to not allow children to go outside without supervision. You just don't see kids biking down the road alone anymore. These cops have taken it too far, and made up reasons to arrest the parents, but in general the idea of children having any sort of freedom or responsibility is pretty much dead in this country.

if this is real, i doubt the intention is to get a bunch of publicity. really seemed more like venting

Federated login has existed for a while. The main diff w/ Eth is the way it works with its keys. But saying it "solved a major problem" is a real stretch. You could say the same about Okta and the like. Stuff like this has been around since the 90s.

The main problem I see w/ Eth login is that it relies on your credentials being on the machine, and makes propagating those to other machines harder for non-tech folks. Whereas the whole user/pass solution is much easier to follow for the common person.

I have mixed emotions on this framework. If you're doing a simple project, Next is the best around. Also great for marketing pages, etc. But if you have a more sophisticated app, with an API, page routes that need to toggle based on cookies, etc, then you have to integrate something like Express. I've done this several times with Next, and it just doesn't pay off. I've also tried to use it at work, but it changes rapidly, and it'd be too much to expect engineers who aren't keeping up with everything on the clientside to know what to do.

I feel like there's a need for something between roll-your-own and what vercel is offering.

Reminds me of a story someone told me, about her grandparents who were both deaf. They had an alarm clock that had a string attached to their wrist, and would tug when they needed to wake up.

also the quality of blurays is still way better - during this shelter in place i've started buying some and really like it

that was the exact thing that caused me to start using netflix - i used to spend so much time on cable browsing channels, only to realize i spent 30+min doing that

now the same thing is happening with netflix. i'm not sure if it's that the selection has greatly diminished, or if it's the algos (hbo max suggestions are pretty good imo)

i think the smartest thing these services do is allow you to share accounts. i would have canceled a while back but my family is using it too

To add to that, the interactions they showed during the demo appear to be by finger, not mouse. They are treating it as iPad first, bubbling into laptops/desktops.

Apple took off with the .com boom and became a staple of every startup. But since the iPhone they've shifted to being a consumer focused company, and I don't see any reason why they would dedicate too much resources to improving their products for developers/designers.

It's pretty sad because they are still the best option. But people are not happy with them, and it's been getting worse over time. I really think Microsoft has an opportunity to cater to power users and release a really beautiful OS. But not Windows - would have to be something new

I don't get this argument. Apple built the platform, so they can set a price. Any price. Their platform, their decision. Companies like Basecamp can decide to distribute on that platform or not. It's Apple's prerogative to find the optimal fee, to pair with what companies are willing and able to pay.

Letting apps link out to websites for paywalls circumvents all of this. If I was in Apple's position I'd limit that as well.

reminds me of the 'ol stripe generators, that were big in the early 2000s

Used this pretty extensively, and followed their dev branches. FWIW if you want quality results the best option is Agisoft, on a GPU machine w/ some custom python to automate.
