Money, through the arrival of the masses?, has really sucked the Internet and IT dry. Back then it was "build cool shit". Now it is "extract cool dollars".

I have yet to restore the backup of the bookmarks I did not read in 1998 and which I plan to definitely read soon. But first, I must process the thousands of bookmarks of the years in between. I'll do that after I cleaned up my dozens

Ah, right, thanks, I do recall that now. Is the disappearance of the additional "On/Off" label perhaps another trend layered on top of the toggle switch trend?

Ask HN: Why are toggle switches replacing checkboxes? Isn't on/off less obvious?

Forcing your sleep rhythm on people who have a different one than you for no reason other than a moral crusade isn't a nice thing to do. Also, you cannot make people feel a sense of community with you by annoying them. Annoying someone

We're talking primarily about people who don't pay their debts here. There's no loss to my life if these people remove themselves from it. They're thieves in disguise, nothing more. No value is lost if they leave. And in

I would rather guess that the emperor has no clothes, i.e. AI is still so bad that it needs insane amounts of training data and hasn't got enough yet.

What boggles me about this is: I do NOT consent to working for free for Google to train their AI. I'd be willing to solve any CAPTCHA the product of which would be open source, or even useless. But Google is a for-profit company which

The signature would be needed when the bank says "you have no money" even though I should have, due to their ancient COBOL systems breaking, fraud, whatever. How would I prove to a court that I do have money if I only have easily
