It should be obvious that anyone who says “I’m concerned about privacy, so I’m going to switch to using Google products!” is not a serious person. If you’re actually going to switch to using open source hardware phones and whatnot, then goo

I started using PictureThis recently and do not need a login or anything. Works pretty well at least in my yard and nearby parks.

You have to pay the taxman on April 15. He’s going to want US dollars. If you don’t pay up, the men with guns come. That’s “backing” more real than shiny yellow metal.

There’s a great video on YouTube of Irving Finkel (quite an interesting guy) playing the Royal Game of Ur. https://youtu.be/WZskjLq040I

I did so much with Print Shop in MS-DOS. The Apple II version looks a bit different, though part of that could also be that I always had Print Shop Companion as well; I can't remember what was added with that.

My highest voted story submission by far was when the Netherlands Bach Society started the All of Bach project many years back. It's somewhat random what will catch HN's attention.

You know what we need? Something that is the equivalent of a blue check mark for offices. The standards would be stringent, an open office hoteling arrangement wouldn’t qualify. You must have an office with a door that can be closed IMO.

You should have stopped way earlier than that, but better late than never I guess.

Indeed, and I also feel silly because I didn’t bet on 27 last spin.

In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

I remember doing house rental vacations with my family in something like 1987. Why do so many people seem to think Airbnb invented this? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

by acheron 5y ago
But that has nothing to do with Airbnb. People have been doing vacation rentals for decades.

I used to use Joe all the time too. Eventually for work I was working on a lot of systems where I couldn’t easily install it so I moved away from it, but it was a good one.

Wow, a lot of people power-tripping on interviews in the comments here. Though I guess everyone being “rejected” is dodging some bullets; if someone is an awful person when interviewing then imagine having to work with them every day.

It's been awhile since I did it but I thought it was just connect it to a computer and transfer it with iTunes, the same way I load music. (Because I still listen to music stored locally, like the cavemen did.)

Yep. Old English word for spear was "gar". One vegetable was related to the leek, but they described the clove as spear-shaped: the gar-leek. https://www.etymonline.com/word/garlic
