I find it hard to believe that Apple overcharges all of its customers, just to combat the minority of scammers. Just seems so unbalanced...

Also, aren't waiting lists usually due to manufacturing latency? Not arbitrary delays that can be bypassed via purchasing repairs? Moreover, no one can assemble a Macbook/iPad/iPhone by ordering replacement parts. Your example only holds good for Airpods.

Reading the posted website, the app positions itself as privacy-first and blocks 50+ pixel trackers.

I honestly don't think "tossing in 10$ to an index fund", i.e literally pocket change, makes anyone a /capitalist/. This is not an argument in good faith relative to the reality of capitalism we live in.

It's not set by the employee, rather the employer looks at expected income for the year and withholds accordingly. At the end of the financial year, the Tax dept. does a final calculation and if the amount was too high/low, they send you a notice.

Tax deduction at source is a common concept in a lot of countries, incl. dissimilar ones like India and the NL, where I have both worked. Super convenient and frictionless for the vast majority of employees.

Absolutely amazing application - I found it on HN sometime at the beginning of COVID lockdowns, and it has radically changed my WFH life. Thank you so much :D

I use it with 2 disparate non-thunderbolt monitors, one connected into its built-in dock, and the other to a dock dongle. Works perfectly fine!

You reminded me of this old joke:

> Two economists walk down a road and they see a twenty dollar bill lying on the side-walk. One of them asks “is that a twenty dollar bill?” Then the other one answers “It can’t be, because someone would have picked it up already,” and they keep walking.

It wasn't even an accurate analogy. Compared apples to oranges. Heh.

IIUC, you're supposed to share the certificate proving it's a version of the waypoint nda, and the text is only on the website, so no one else can change it.

Agreed, I wanted to do astrophotography with a DSLR, but the experience is so bad compared to just using my Pixel's inbuilt mode.

Considering that Android was originally aimed at cameras [1], maybe that's something Camera OEMs can finally look at again.
