This seems like a pretty flawed idea and an attempt to justify the incredible amount of electricity required by bitcoin. If bitcoin was changed to require a fraction the amount of electricity all of these ideas would suddenly fall apart. Bu

There is no way that's true. No matter how far a person wandered they're not going to come across a bell pepper, lettuce, carrots, potatoes and any meat they could want.

This is very interesting, do you go through it every now and then to remove stale content and dead links? If I did something like this I just know I'd get into the habit of adding everything I read vs adding things that actually help m

I have been doing this successfully for the last 8 years (and in the later years earning significantly more than I could as an employee in Europe) so hopefully my advice can help you. You need to figure out if you just want to be an individ

Check out AWS Amplify, it strips away a lot of the complexity and time consuming config work.

We have had clients that need it for content licensing requirements, it doesn't make sense to allow users to choose their region in a scenario where content is region dependent. Of course, you can just get around this with a VPN.

This is really beautiful craftsmanship! It will definitely influence my own projects in the future, thanks for sharing.

Judging by your response (and the amount of comments you've made in this thread) I don't think you really took the time to think about my comment. We obviously didn't chose black list or white list to donate race but regardle

The simple way that I think of it is how black/white list is constantly reinforcing in your head that black is bad and white is good.

The whole idea is to remove the subconscious bias that it creates in our minds, always associating black with bad and white with good in the case of blacklist and white list. None of this has any effect on me and I don't see the negati

I'm excited for this too and I was very excited a couple of years ago when Android launched instant apps which were the exact same idea, but they never took off. Hopefully with Apples tighter control of NFC in their phones and better m

So it's down across the whole world? Just to add to the list, it's gone for Ireland too.

Yes, it's also against the rules to auto select all of the trackers as accepted but many sites still do this. By default everything should be deselected and you need to accept all of them to allow tracking. I've found that sites a

Even if you are on the fence I hope you're taking measures now and having older relatives isolate. If you're not, a couple of weeks from now you will look back and regret being on the fence. Look after yourself.

It would depend on the scope of what people are trying to achieve, at a certain point of complexity you pass from being a "non programmer" to being a programmer due to all of the inferred learning you get from experience. I know a

Having read the short article it's pretty clear that he was simply saying that if you have an indoor nest camera it would be proper etiquette to tell your guests that they are being recorded on your device. From how I read it, he wasn&

It's better to solve part of the problem than none of the problem. I don't use a car day to day but it's a requirement for my SO to get to work. Cars will always be a requirement for people so changing to hybrids, PHEV and fu

Instagram is currently hiding likes in Ireland as part of a test, only the person who uploads the photo sees how many people like it. It will be interesting to see if they roll it out everywhere or decide against it.

All of the responses in this thread are vague because your question is vague. If you have put away enough money to fund your own idea or live salary free for a year (or amount of time you're comfortable with not earning) then go for it

What's the reasoning behind everyone needing that level of access? We use 1password and have multiple vaults depending on what sort of clearance is needed. Need access to support emails? We'll add you to the appropriate vault. Thi

There is quite a few great comments in this thread but I just want to add that getting a quality lens has a much bigger impact on your image quality than the camera body. A quality body with a bad lens is a waste of time. Different eco syst

If any of them read hacker news they will probably know soon enough. How many tech teams of 9 are there in the Cotswolds that have an Indian parent company?

I had this done before getting laser eye surgery to ensure my prescription was correct (it was wrong, just like yours) but the effect wore off within 24 hours. It is very inconvenient though, my pupils were fully dilated and I couldn't

Very interesting, I really like how the objects melt away. I only tried a couple of combinations though because the website doesn't have routing setup properly so when you press back you come back to HN.
