I find it interesting that the context of this comments page apparently overrides the normal definition of “PG” on HN.

Ctrl-k focuses the Search bar unless a website hijacks it, which became regrettably common after the Search bar got hidden by default. But Firefox allows one to reënable it, and some of us continue to rely upon it.

The analogy is location. file : directory :: person : geocoordinates. I thought it was a straight-forward analogy, but clearly I was mistaken.

Hardly. That would be analogous to two people having the same name _and_ the same spacetime coordinates; they would indeed be the same person.

If the elevator was invented today, use of it would require an app which demands access to one’s contacts and microphone, and has a rating of 1.4 stars.

Did they also struggle to understand that some people have the same name yet are not the same person?

The underlying problem here is that a click or tap should always refer to whatever _was_ on the screen a few (100?) milliseconds ago. It’s a long-standing bug on all platforms.

It's a system that was never introduced in the US, and in fact I've never even heard of it until now. So surely one option is to remove the system altogether.

That written, I'm also surprised there's any serious talk of going cashless there. We have plenty of cash-only businesses here that preclude any serious consideration of the notion.
