Consider getting a blood test if you haven't already. At the very least, it'll help you knock off any possibilities that you may be low in iron, vitamin D, or vitamin B12. For me, that turned out to be the case and taking suppleme

If I think of every community I was a part of during the 2000s, they've all shut down. In the end money played a part in all of them closing, or people who don't want to commit any longer to something that isn't making them m

Oh man I am with you on this in that, the fact that it's not a phishing site, to me, means google is sending the completely wrong message to users. Here is a site with a non-google.com URL that expects users to know that only google ow

YouTube Premium is my most loved subscription, for what it's worth. I don't even use the Music element, but if I did that would be another reason. While all other subscriptions I pause on and off waiting for content, YouTube has a

There is another possibility here, which is MS + Activision - Cloud Gaming > MS + Cloud Gaming. I wonder if MSFT is considering that at all. They obviously have the numbers, but I wouldn't be surprised if cloud gaming hasn't se

It's a NEW browser in every sense of the word - a new rendering and JS engine, not built on top of Chromium's (or Firefox's) backends. It's impressive because most people have a few preconceived notions: a) It is impossi

So... Just to get this correct, the social media person who probably isn't privvy to plans affecting their job in two months should have written something along the lines of "were told it's going to be ok, but who even knows

Please I beg you - don't let HN become another online discussion site. Aim for quality, give examples, don't just rely on vague comments that are meant to provoke emotion and nothing else.

Do you have concrete examples on how you would consider Android and Docs worse in terms of privacy? I'm trying to imagine how Google Docs could be worse than Microsoft Word stored in your One Drive, or Microsoft Word Online. Both servi

I don't know Timnit so I won't argue she is the most toxic or the events were correct/incorrect. However, your reply made me recall this thread from July 2020 (before Timnit and Google parted). https://twitter.com&
