Even as it stands today, I’d pay US$50/month for it, knowing it’s going to improve over time. I could go as high as US$100/month if I could be sure to get that back, but at the moment I see it as a great tool for learning and gett

Sex workers agree to posting these pictures (at least we hope they do). Are you arguing that it would be ok to post intimate pictures of you or someone in your family, or anybody, basically, without them explicitly agreeing to? Are you seri

It's not just an issue of healthy food being expensive. If you're obese, cutting your food intake in half will save you 50% of your food expense. That's a lot. Keeping the same budget, you could most probably eat healthier in

La last bit of the oath is so jarring… Aside from that problematic bit, is that oath performed before the jury hears the case or just before they deliberate? I’m asking because the details of the case may themselves reveal an unjust law tha

And I thank you for it! I’ve been pushing it to anyone who has a need and I use it myself to safely exchange files across machines that are behind vpns and firewalls at work. It’s pretty fast too! My only comment is that I wished there was

I want to believe you but it's a pretty damning accusation and I think here on HN people expect some citation to reliable sources.

It’s possible to make things that last if you are in total control of the whole stack, including hardware. Embedded systems that still do their job after 30 years do exist but they live in isolation in a specific and controlled environment,

The problem might be different here, but all the exchanges I have used have ended up dead, and I consider myself very lucky not to have lost everything I had. First there was MtGox where I happily sold BTC and then waited weeks for a bank t

But isn’t this only true if you want to profit from the property? What about you buy the property for you and your family to live in rather than as an investment that needs high return? The property value will still increase with time. That

My guess is that AI workloads are going to be a significant factor of demand for high-end cards. It used to be gaming and mining and now we have AI art generation that requires high-end cards to be productive. Now mere mortals can play arou

You need to factor in that China is pushing heavily for EV and Chinese car manufacturers will handle part of the demand for cheaper EV in China and other countries. Same for India, Tata will probably not stop making combustion engines for a

I have the distinct feeling that the current generation of AirPod Pros suffer from a lot of reliability issues. I had to replace them 3 times in a year. I don’t use them for sports, I’m careful not to wet them, keep them clean, and they dev

You usually don’t know the pain until you try it. The immense majority of subscription services go to great lengths to make it as easy as possible to get you on and too many go to great length to make it very hard to let you stop. We are at

That was a great show. Not as accurate in its depiction of computer engineering as a series like Mr Robot, but the “prescient” aspects of Person of Interest were frighteningly disturbing, and proved to be all too true.

It’s quite baffling to me that people would start talking about religion at social events that are not related to religion in the first place. To me, one of the basic rules of social etiquette is never talk about religion or politics unless

You can build whole cities without cars in Cities Skyline. With mods like TPME banning private cars is easy. You can still allow services (police, fire engines, ambulances, etc), good trucks, buses and taxis but can also disable any of thes
