   Yeah I’m 99,9% sure that a non-negligible part of the subcomponents are made in China. I would be extremely surprised if it was possible to find a modern personal computer with zero parts made in China. (Might be possible for embedded devic

   According to this comment from 2023, most laptops are made by Taiwanese companies: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36651016 I don’t know for sure, but if I read that comment correctly, those six companies are turnkey s

   Very cool! I never managed to do anything in Deluxe Paint except for maybe a stick figure or something like that, or just random shapes/colors. Since then I’ve always been curious, what is the process to make an image like the one you

   I would guess Microsoft has a lot more government customers (and large customers in general) than Slack does. So I would think they have a lot more to loose if they went this route.

    I’ll bite: An aggregator or search engine for recipes. Googling for recipes in English is such a horrible experience. Most food sites that rank high on Google are full of garbage.

    Some of your question doesn’t make sense to me. It feels like you’re comparing apples to oranges. At work I use MBP for my laptop and Linux on our servers. To me, there’s no contradiction there. I could’ve chose Linux on the laptop if I wan

    I think that technology that will help people to save energy and other resources has a potential to become very useful and valuable. Maybe for single-family homes, but I think the savings could be even greater for multi-family units and com

    Perhaps we could mitigate such risk with batteries? AFAIK they have decreased a lot in price.

    The building blocks are there AFAICT, but I’m not sure I would say they’re neatly productized. See also this comment I wrote: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40130844

    I think a sandbox should be sufficient.

    I assume that in this scenario we don’t want to change the behaviour (program code, source code) of the application itself. Why is it important that the syscalls (write et al) encrypts? (Even if they do so only under the hood.) Is it not su

    Porkbun seems very popular these days. My personal favorite is Dynadot. I hope that neither of them would shut down a domain in the manner that you described.
