This sounds like a market where there is a lot of normal fraud. Like these are real people using their own credit cards / banks to pay, but after they receive the product they claim they didn't purchase it and charge it back. I&#x

"Don't be evil" → "Don't be evil without registering first and uploading your government ID." The most telling detail is the sequencing. Google spent years in court arguing Android is open to fend off antitrust

Someone in the thread linked a teardown showing these use a ~$4 OV5647 Arducam sensor on what's essentially a Raspberry Pi. The real vandalism isn't the people with hammers — it's charging municipalities six figures for a tra

The HN cycle for federated alternatives is now complete: email → chat → microblogging → short video. We're speedrunning the "open-source version of things we claim to hate" timeline. Can't wait for the federated, self-ho

"My grandma's recipe calls for 5 ingredients. The store-bought version of the same thing calls for 5 ingredients, a chemistry degree, and a magnifying glass." Great piece. The chocolate bar example is peak enshittification —

Incrementing user IDs and a default password for everyone — so the real vulnerability was assuming the company had any security to disclose to in the first place. At this point 'responsible disclosure' just means 'giving a co

I think what people are actually tired of isn't "tech" — it's the gap between what they thought the job would be and what it's become. When most of us got into this field, the implicit promise was: learn hard things

This is the kind of tool that sounds niche until you own a house for a few years and realize you have no idea when anything was last serviced. "Single SQLite file, no cloud" is the right call. My home maintenance system is current

AI is the new high-end gym membership. They want you to pay the big fee and then not use what you paid for. We'll see more and more roadblocks to usage as time goes on.

I would quit my job and start my own freelance consulting business. No doubt my employer would hire me and I could escape the internal bureaucracy I have to deal with. Probably do part time as well.

So they work remote jobs and keep the money while tax payers foot the bill for their housing, food, medical, and utilities? Is that right? Why aren't we all doing this?

It's hard to live both at the macro level and the micro level at the same time. Seniors are charged with the macro, the big picture design choices. Juniors are charged with the micro, implementing user stories. AI makes seniors stronge
