Very nice. I'd be interested to hear how the real-time/multi-player element is working?
I haven't used Cloudflare specifically for infrastructure but PAAS offerings like this have huge vendor lock-in which is a big risk. Not to mention if that feature you need isn’t supported by their abstraction you’re out of luck.
Because other people have different needs to you that are better served by other platforms
I cannot fathom what it must be like to witness this in-person. The pictures are spectacular but to spend time experiencing it outside the window in your proximity must be overwhelming in the most incredible way.

It doesn't really explain why these cameras are particularly good for use in space except that the crew just like them. All cameras in this bracket are good in low light and have decent long lenses. Why are they any better in high radiation environments than other cameras?
Anyone else find the naming odd? What’s the relevance of “Neo”?
It feels like one of the only Apple products where the name is completely divorced from its intended usage (or defining feature)
- Phone
- Watch
- Pro
- Studio
- Mini
- Vision
- Air
- Neo???
Thank you. I've never read Marx. Any suggestions on where to start after reading through the links?

Between coding agents and projects like OpenClaw, so many entrepreneurs, developers and businesses are salivating over the amazing productivity gains they're getting.Why is "getting more done" so important? Isn't this an opportunity for people to reflect on _why_ they are doing things instead of just how much they can do?I keep wondering what the ideal future state is for these people? It...
It’s not “on them” when they purposely call mountain rescue who then have to come out and risk their lives to get two dipshits off a hill they decided to climb on a crutch.
The mind absolutely boggles. Ignoring the disrespect shown to the rescuers and the hotel, one of them set out, in December/January, to Scafell Pike, on a crutch!
It’s odd not to see Photomator in this bundle. Feels even more likely that they’re going to kill it off in place of the regular Photos app.
At the moment, you can’t GET INTO the US if you have a social media post that even criticises the administration. Is that the “free speech” people in the US are so obsessed with?
Excellent, thanks you. This is perfect.

Every time I have to generate a QR code I have to wade through 10s of spammy apps that ask for your email after you've tried to create a QR code.Does anyone recommend a simple Mac app or web app for generating SVG QR codes where I don't have to sign up?I don't mind paying for a Mac app, but I'm absolutely not signing up for a SAAS for something so simple.

Because the US was complicit in creating many of them
How edgy. Spoiler: we’re not too interested in appealing to America any more over here.
Not when millions of people buy it
This might be a hot take, but I feel like the blurring of lines between back-end and front-end apps with platforms like Vercel will lead to more and more of these exploits. I’m an experienced full-stack dev and I’m constantly confused as to “where I am” in a Next code base. Server? Client? Edge? Proponents might say “that’s the point - you don’t have to worry about there you are, it’s one code base” but these sort of issues indicate otherwise.
All platforms can be exploited I guess, but I still wonder at the complexity of the platforms we now rely on and whether it’s justified.
You had to patch manually
This isn't how business works. Pricing isn't decided on based on costs alone, it's decided by value delivered. More customers indicates higher value resulting in higher pricing.
Yep, I've a number of apps on their App Platform and it works great.
This is a patronising comment - first telling us what we
should be concerned about than telling us there’s actually no point in being concerned about anything anyway, change just happens and we should get on with it.
What if AI isn’t like the other changes you’ve experienced? What if a superintelligence is developed (or emerges)? What are the implications of that? Can it be controlled?
The people running the biggest AI companies in the world are themselves worried these questions, so we should be too.
HN is exactly the type of place that should be interested in discussing issues like this and it’s unfair to just dismiss the concerns.
