By that logic, an open wifi router would be considered air gapped, n’est pas?
This is essentially vast.ai, no?
I mean, I’m just saying the danger exists (which is what “real” means to me) and people should be aware of it. Not that people shouldn’t dig big holes. I thought that was clear in my original comment but evidently not.
Oh duh! Pardon my ignorance; that makes perfect sense, I guess my mind was elsewhere
“Of course”.
Thanks for responding — can you clarify this interest benefit you are talking about?
I’m in the same age bracket and hole-digging enthusiasm bracket as you but recently became aware of the dangers of this whimsical pastime! [1]
That’s not to dissuade you or anyone else from doing it (I have continued!), but I think everyone should be aware of the very real danger. As they say, knowing is half the battle!

Let’s just take 95% as a true figure … first of all the 5% you don’t get back is a straight up loss. The rewards you get at the end of the month are fine (eg cash back) but you’ve missed out on earning interest on the money you “get back”
What do you mean by this? I’ve been getting great mileage out of copilot, especially since learning about the @workspace keyword.
Could you quantify your criticism a bit more? (genuinely asking)
Do people really watch movies on xreals? I tried the Air Pro 2 and found them borderline unusable.
Also, AR glasses being used by someone operating a motor vehicle sounds like a recipe for an entirely different kind of “killer” app.
I wonder if it’s crossover from typing http, ftp, etc. I know the practice has fallen to the wayside in consumer computing but I’d buy that most people have more muscle memory for typing _tp than _pt in a semi-standalone context
They can shop at alternatives (if they exist in the specific town in Quebec), for now.
It's not really hyperbole, I think. The basic right is at the very least being threatened, if not explicitly violated (yet).
I believe iOS 15 includes a little-touted feature: "Voice Isolation" mode; I haven't tested it comprehensively, but other similar technology (e.g. RNNoise [1]) has very impressive results in the scenarios you allude to.

Chip-and-PIN has been prevalent outside the US since its inception, and is still the norm for large credit card purchases.
I throw it on the charger for 30 minutes while I work in the evening. Works great, and as others have noted, that’s usually enough to get through 2 nights.
It charges pretty quickly; quickly enough in my experience that even if I forget to charge it one day and I find it dead at an inconvenient time, I can usually throw it in a charger for long enough to get through the rest of the day without much inconvenience. I’ve had my series 5 for about 18 months and in that time, only once have I had it die on me when I was trying to use it.
If I ever go back to working in an office, my use pattern might change, but for the most part I think the inconvenience of charging daily is overstated.
Edit: It also will notify you 1 hour before your configured bedtime if it doesn’t have enough juice to get through the night. I thought this was silly when they announced it but in practice it is great.
I don't know, I thought Vulfpeck's "Sleepify" hit the nail on the head without bringing any "real" content.
Correct me if I'm wrong but does not Firefox supply full-text search on your history, bookmarks, and open tabs when you type stuff in the address bar?
I believe Chrome does the same?
FWIW there are third-party software options for the Touch Bar such as MTMR (my touch bar, my rules), which at least allows you to activate the haptic feedback in the trackpad when touch bar buttons are pressed. I found that it helped dramatically with accidental touch bar presses.
MTMR also solves the other main problem with the Touch Bar which is that it hides brightness and volume controls behind a tap (so you can't, for example, instantly mash "volume down" when you find it is unexpectedly loud.) With MTMR (and others I believe) you can make multi-touch gestures on the bar to adjust volume and brightness swiftly.
All that said, I'm not convinced that the touch bar adds enough value to justify its cost. If your day-to-day computer use includes tasks it is good it, maybe. As a developer, probably not.
Just my $0.02 as a touchbar-skeptic-cum-macbook-owner.
My sauna is my absolute favorite place to think through anything complex or difficult. Careful not to burn yourself if you take a whiteboard in there!
Not today— it doesn’t seem like a terrible stretch to imagine that it could in a decade or two though.
I think you've already gotten lots of feedback on pricing -- One thing I didn't see mentioned is that your website lacks a pricing page. Yes, you indicate the subscription price, and you hide a little note that says you can try it for free first... but here in the comments you said you have a "generous free tier" -- it would be useful to see information about that tier on your website.
All that said, I'll join the chorus of skeptics over the $100/yr price. Apparently you have people willing to pay that, which is great, and hopefully a sign that you have built a good product -- maybe we on HN are just a bunch of cheap, cynical bastards.
I believe the upcoming version of Safari will have WebExtension support, so at least there's that.
This is mentioned on literally every Starlink thread I read, and the response is always that unlike previous satellite internet offerings, Starlink operates in low earth orbit, drastically reducing the ping time. Do you have more to add?
Can you support this with a counter example? This statement by itself is a bit of a tease!
I gave it a cursory look from the perspective of someone on the lookout for remote opportunities to replace my non-remote grind. At a glance, I like what I see, but there are a couple of things that stuck out to me:
- The search seems pretty limited. I am on mobile, and accidentally entered “python “ instead of “python” (trailing space), and got 0 results.
- it would be great to be able to do more than single key phrase search. E.g. I might be interested in Full-time JavaScript jobs in Canada. I didn’t see a way to search for that, aside from sifting through all results for “JavaScript” by hand.
- In addition to a more expressive search, I’d love to be able to subscribe to an RSS feed for a given query
Overall, it looks like a great start! These are just my $0.02 on mobile
I made a similar decision to the GP -- it is not just that the octopus is intelligent (pigs are smart too, but I'm less perturbed by eating them). The octopus is such a vastly different creature to most/all other animals that we eat. To me, it feels more like eating a totally alien lifeform, which (subjectively, to me) is a greater pity than just eating something that is smart, but is pretty similar to all other animals (e.g. fish or mammals)
To add to what others have said re: AirBNB, there have also been at least a few cases where renters refuse to leave the property and turn a mid-term rental into a sort of "squatting" situation, creating tremendous legal hassle for the owner. (Though I'm not aware of any cases where the squatter has actually managed to wrest ownership from the actual owner!)
Your page says "text that need to be translated" but it would read more correctly as "text that needs to be translated". Just saying! Good luck.
