on: Black Screen After MacBook Pro Update to macOS Big Sur
The one compelling thing to me is the smart battery management in Big Sur: it won't charge your battery past 80% if you don't need it (based on usage patterns) to protect the battery life. I'm also excited about the seamless switch between all Apple devices for the Airpods Pro, but not everyone owns those

The company itself and most importantly WeWork employees were harmed (some of them won't have a job soon, and were promised a huge IPO)

Trump not colliding with the Russians doesn't mean the Russians were not involved in the election. It just means he did not work with them. They could (and probably did) worked on their own because it's their own best interest to see Trump elected.

on: Thousands of New Millionaires Are About to Eat San Francisco Alive
Even with unsuccessful IPOs, lots of people are suddenly gonna have access to liquidity. They may get 300k instead of 600k but still, this is going to be a change for thousands of people compared to the previous years.

on: Chrome 69: “www.” subdomain missing from URL
This reminds me of Windows hiding file extensions by default. So annoying... now you don't know what your dealing with, it's harder to modify etc

Can't believe no one has cited Omni for "Low-Friction Lending Library". This is exactly what they are doing.
I have no relationships or interests whatsoever with them, apart from being a happy customer.

on: The Decline of the American Laundromat
It has always surprised me how rare, at least here in the bay, washer/dryer hookups are. I can't remember renting a place (even my shitty student studio) without them before.

on: Show HN: Using city permits to map Sonic.net fiber
I had Sonic Fiber in a high-rise in the SOMA/Rincon Hill neighborhood. Not sure why the permit data is not there but they definitely serve this area.

on: France's Carmat implants its first artificial heart in human
This one actually regulates itself based on your physical activity. They also think it should beat faster if you're in a stressful or emotional situation (such as meeting with your crush). This is based on the fact that your blood vessels will dilate themselves and the artificial heart will compensate.
