It requires a local application and an extension, I think. I found the documentation to be confusing as somebody not familiar with IPFS and eventually gave up on it because I couldn't figure out what the right settings were for me or w

Incompetence isn't an acceptable excuse for anti-competitive behavior by a company the size of Google. It's their responsibility to ensure that incompetence can't result in things like this. This isn't something that sho

I'm looking at how many fatalities many of those incidents had and I'm not sure I'm convinced. They're not impossible, but the odds don't look great.

I don't know why I thought a controlled landing of a plane on water was generally possible. Maybe because of the pre-safety instructions where it sort of implies (maybe it's just me) that if a plane were to land on water, I could

Didn't realize it was the exact same people who made Slack. Geez, I wish I could be that accidentally successful, much less twice in a row.

When I die, family and close friends will have access to all my data. They can choose what to do with it. Once I'm dead, I'll have no interest in my privacy. This is also a nonsensical argument and I don't appreciate these ba

This tiny but significant factor is also why masks, even surgical masks, are so helpful. They don't need to prevent 100% transmission, just reduce the viral load received or passed on.

My problem with KPIs and sales is that I've seen the people I work with actively make decisions that make the experience worse for our users because it increases the amount and/or value of sales we make, verified through A/B

I was specifically talking about where I work with that criticism about KPI and sales. I have no idea what might be driving Microsoft's design philosophy. You might be into something though.

History. It should be a part of our historical and cultural record, not the private playthings for the wealthy. Whenever something like this comes up, I'm appalled at how little people seem to give a shit about preserving things for th

As much as I don't like Apple or Steve Jobs, it's clear that they're missing a visionary who owns this sort of project and has a specific vision in mind. I doubt the Vision Pro would be flailing like this and Apple wouldn&#x2

You're all correct, of course. Whenever I listen to UX/UI where I work talk about "improving" the UI or how they design things, I just want to chug on a bottle of vodka until I forget which year I'm living in. I can

I will deeply abhor the new Settings app until they go back 30 years and rediscover multitasking. It's pure insanity that I can't have two Settings windows open in different locations at the same time. Instead, if I'm doing o

Probably been told about it by friends. Whenever I find a decent site, I pass it on to anybody I know who needs it. kinox used to be one of those sites.

You haven't heard of the biggest source of paywalled research papers on the planet? It's a fantastic resource for when you don't want to pay 40 Euros for a single paper and you don't happen to be part of a university tha

I use and have used a large number of these. Many of them are primarily German streaming sites. Ziperto is a file hosting site, which you'd only come into contact with through certain kinds of direct download piracy sites. I'm not

Have you? Things disappearing with insufficient explicit feedback for what actually happened to the things is one of the most common issues I've encountered with older computer users. I think it's the most common issue. Toasts a

And confidence would solve the Starliner problem? Oh come on. NASA can't tell the truth because, you know, just look at the state of social media and the news today. I wouldn't want to tell anybody on HN the truth, much less your

I don't understand. What would be the difference if they didn't downplay this? There'd be a massive shitstorm distracting resources at NASA and Boeing from doing their jobs and we wouldn't be any better off. How is that

It says the timeout is refreshed if there's a cache hit within the 5 minutes, and the base cost is 10% of what it would be otherwise. Seems pretty damn useful to me. What seems useless to you exactly? I'm primarily limited by how

This is unreasonably dismissive of a very interesting article about where our beliefs and our "knowledge" of the world comes from. HN is supposed to be a place where we try to learn more about the world and our understanding of th

I've recently been pirating 30 and 40 year old games. It's pure insanity that it still counts as piracy.

First gen version also didn't have Windows software. I'm thinking more once they were convenient for PC users to use, I guess 2005 onwards? I don't think I saw any iPods before then.

Growing up, I didn't know a single person personally who owned a Mac. I only knew Macs from schools and the handful of teachers I knew who'd bought the new PowerBooks ca 2002. I also had experience existing in the 90s. They were e

Is this a joke? The US justice system is now extremely partisan and conservative judges rule according to the interests of the Republican party.

The AI editing tools in the Google Photos app ( https://blog.google/products/photos/google-photos-editing-fe... ) also feel like magic and have been very useful/convenient for me, so honestly I can't agree

If you aren't able to get enough funding through Patreon, then it's simply because you haven't found a large enough or the right audience yet. It has nothing to do with value add. Not every viewer is going to subscribe to you

If by "certain" you mean anybody covering anything from movies to songs to games to whatever else, yes. I mean "those" creators. It's extremely easy to fall afoul of YouTube's Draconian censorship. I'm not
