I am thinking about getting a completely different apple id when I get my next iPhone. I don't have a paid developer account. Or do they actively prohibit multiple accounts? I've never tried on Apple before but I have multiple goog.e accounts and it seems fine to have different accounts on different Android devices?


Moreover on Android you still can have 10 different Google accounts on one phone all from different countries for downloading region-locked apps on Google Play. Though recently Google started to break it by changing account region countries nilly-willy. Yet you can still register as many accounts via Chrome as you wish really without extra gmail accounts just by using own domain redirect via cloudflare or something.

On iOS installed apps are locked into specific Apple ID they been downloaded with, so you might have issues with e.g WhatsApp. Still possible to download region-locked apps with non-primary AppleID, but it will sometimes ask to re-authenticate with said AppleID to keep it updated so it's cant be just throwaway.


You can have up to three IDs per device.

> Seems an interesting oversight. I can just imagine the roundtable, uhh guys who do we charge for 403? Who can we charge? But what if people hit random buckets as an attack? Great!

It is amazing, isn't it? Something starts as an oversight but by the time it reaches down to customer support, it becomes an edict from above as it is "expected behavior".

> AWS was kind enough to cancel my S3 bill. However, they emphasized that this was done as an exception.

The stench of this bovine excrement is so strong that it transcends space time somehow.


Even pooper is upset about the stench. Tech is fuckin dumb in the corps, the only logical explanation to me is kickbacks to the CTO or similar.


Pooping at the job is one thing but pooping at the job and trying to sell it as a favor to the customer is a whole different game.


you don't need kickbacks at this level. They're all judged by their 6-month outlook on revenue and their market shares.

This is just obfuscating grift justified by the "well, you own the severless functions!"


> E-ink is already pretty expensive as a display technology

but why? is it because of patents? Shouldn't this technology get cheaper with time?


Apparently so. I recall this explanation back from 2021:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26143779

Supposedly, a core patent for the technology expired a year ago:

https://old.reddit.com/r/eink/comments/1e3icaz/any_company_d...

It's probably too soon to easily tell whether that's enough to make e-ink screens cheaper and more available.


There are patents on nearly every active component in the cheapest of electronic devices. I don't think it's patents.

There are many tens of millions of e-Ink store shelf-edge price labels around, for example, and they're a cheap commodity item.


If only there were some article on the topic of why there are no cheap ereaders... I hope somebody posts one to HN soon.


The big one to me is paid content should be clearly labeled as paid content and should be skippable programmatically and in bulk. Things like product placement.


Can you please elaborate on this? I am unable to follow the logic here.


For anyone who wants my username and password, I tried the following for both username and password. Feel free to use this as your demo (remember your scout's promise though).

Edit: looks like I managed to break my instance without even trying. I can't edit my first task that I created.

https://demo.kaneo.app/dashboard/workspace/nyxfpvfgkk412xg4n...

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Log in as [email protected] 
  2. Click on workspace Microsoft Blue 
  3. Click on project DataCenters 
  4. Click on the first task, DAT-1 Build data centers around the world 
  5. Observe the screen just says "Task edit" with nothing else there.


I didn't meant for anyone to post their credentials under a fake email, but thinks.

It's the webpage that should be friendlier to people who just want to toy and explore their app before committing to get it running in production.


Hey, thank you for your feedback and I agree. This project is still under heavy development and one of the lovely HN people opened an issue regarding this. I'll get to make the demo accessible without any accounts. Thank you!


Here is one example of what I think is boring. Is this what you had in mind?

----

Bank of England Cuts Interest Rates as British Economy Weakens

The central bank cut rates for the third time in about six months as it said growth had been weaker than expected.


If it bleeds it leads has been a core tenet of journalism essentially since it has existed. And certainly a staple of rumor mills since long before that.


Good counterexample. Clear bias while still being boring


What is the bias here, not familiar with British banks or its economy atm.

It certainly doesn’t sound controversial and clickbait at first glance, doing what banks do.


I would only use something like this that requires absolutely no authentication. For example, I had a one page app that showed me instantly when the next shuttle(s) were scheduled for my stop. Instead of having to click through multiple steps, this allowed me to see it in one step. As far as I know, I was the only user for this thing I built and put up on gitlab pages. I don't know exactly because I didn't bother to track who visited the page.


This is the way to go, you wouldn't want to use a CORS proxy for something authenticated/with credentials (e.g. API key). But for public unauthenticated request, they work just fine.


Party affiliation is public information, at least in Virginia.


》 we shouldn't have bailed him out.

I don't have a horse in this race but the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear "we shouldn't have bailed him out" is silicon valley bank and its depositors. That to me was the biggest show of hypocrisy by silicon valley.
