Conveniently Mega only limits you by IP address, not account. You can just swap VPN locations and keep downloading. 1fichier is also pretty incredible.

I recently visited Imgur after a few years away. My god has that site fallen. Doing anything takes two or three times as many clicks, ads are everywhere, and 75% of the posts are left-leaning versions of your uncle's shitty political F

there's not much room for improving the autonomy. Considering how every person I've ever asked about it despises their car's phantom braking problems, I'd say there's plenty of room for improvement.

So the stability of the Solar System is highly dependent on general relativity. That seems a bit misleading. If you have a complex system that reaches a measure of stability over a large timescale and then change any of the underlying rul

two computers will work both as host and cannot be connected directly I cannot believe transferring a file from one computer to another without a network is still such a pain in the rear.

Man now I really, really want to feed GPT-4 responses from ChatGPT that don't work and see if it notices and can tell me why.

I don't see how that's relevant. No matter what the necessary force to actuate the click, it's a larger strain the further off perpendicular your finger is. That means it's different every time depending on where you&#x2

People intentionally closing the door while disabled people are trying to make their way to the elevator door? I expect that's a nearly non-existent problem. People are assholes. Also, a lot of people would just get into the habit of

I can't imagine getting used to the force of a click feeling different depending on where my finger is. Clicking straight down in the middle vs clicking your finger sideways when it's near the far edge, etc. When I bought my last

he explains most of the reasons listed to use VPN by ads is useless It's not like they can advertise the actual reason people pay for VPNs, which is piracy and other illegal activities.

He obviously didn't mean to include people who are just tunneling back to their residential IP.

That seems awful. The more force you have to use with your pointing finger the less accurate your position is. I can't imagine trying to aim and shoot with the same finger.

Habitually counting your own fingers seems like a much worse problem to have than not being able to tell you're dreaming.

Is there a point to those giant touchpads? How do people tell where left and right click are without looking down? Personally I think the death of real mouse buttons is the worst laptop UX change in the last 20 years, even beating out chicl

If you bought SVB on Robinhood then that stock isn't worth anything anymore. Would it be worth anything after SVB is bought by a larger bank, or does the takeover process zero out shareholders?

BLM protests were many separate events, containing both peaceful protests and riots. The trucker protests were largely a single event, which, while economically destructive, did not involve burning buildings or overturned police cars. Also

I mean yeah, but when there's a bunch of green accounts whose only comments are horrible corpo-speak takes on one single submission they're basically holding a sign that says "I am not a real HN commenter".

Trucker's protest was similarly divided in US That's exactly what he's saying. It wasn't divided between people who believe in the rights of protestors and people who didn't; it was divided between pro and anti-va

H&L aren't the ones saying harmful things make you stronger, though. They're saying being exposed to ideas and messages which offend you and make you uncomfortable does not harm you. I don't know that I fully agree with t

#1: “What doesn’t kill you makes you weaker,” or the idea that exposure to offensive or difficult ideas is traumatic. The problem with this idea is that Haidt and Lukianoff are wrong. Most of the time, harmful things do make you weaker, wh
