   What makes you think this, out of the non-stop parade of Trump crazy bullshit, is the issue that will finally sink him?

   I think Instagram has gotten quite a bit worse over the past few years. I really only want to see posts from people I follow and they've made that more difficult. The service that totally baffles me is Tik Tok. I know it's suppose

   What bag does a cable with HDMI on one end and USB C on the other end go into?

   Do they pair with Apple devices as easily? If I lose them, can I find them with Find My? Can I use them as hearing aids?

   Lots of people can afford it. If you keep the phone two years, that works out to less than $3 / day. The lease option is even less. They're going to sell or lease a lot of these. I think it's going to be very interesting to s

   I believe the theory is the exact opposite. A hookworm calms the host's immune system.

   But also, hookworm infections are known to suppress allergies and asthma, help inflammatory bowl disease, and improve insulin resistance in people with type 2 diabetes.

   Often we do not. The Freakonomics podcast had an episode titled The Perfect Crime where they basically say if you want to kill somebody, hit them with your car because that’s often not punished beyond a ticket.

   Any guesses why they went with that connector rather than USB C?

    I use a Kindle Oasis and love it. I’ve seen the Xteink devices mentioned here and am intrigued, but the screenshots turn me off instantly. The font rendering or hyphenation or kerning (not sure exactly what) looked terrible. Fortunately, si

    Professional sports is probably a good counter example. Major League Baseball, for example, treats the players better than any other baseball league around the world and most of the gains were achieved through collective bargaining. Or how

    Just give me some land outside of the city, where I can’t really see or hear my neighbors, where I have enough space for an enormous garden, lots of native plants for the butterflies and bees, and a giant workshop. Starry skies at night sha

    There was also a story about a reporter who wrote a story about a missile strike and people who had bet against a missile strike applied a lot of pressure, including death threats, on the reporter to change his story. https://www

    The beauty of the word performant is that any thing is performant if your expectations are low enough.

    I always blame it on the HN UI, especially on a touch device. The up/down vote arrow is a pretty small target and once you hit it, the arrows go away with no visual indication of which way you voted.

    I hate how easy it is for Trump to get people talking about stuff that really doesn't matter and ignoring stuff that actually matters.

    Maybe the strategy is to try to build up some steam behind the abolish copyright movement to move the Overton window a bit. If IP owners see actual support behind abolishing copyright, maybe rolling back to min(30, life of author) years o

    Globally, Kobo has around 10% market share for ereaders. If they gain another 5% of the market, that's a 50% surge for them and around an 8% drop for Amazon. In the end, it probably doesn't really matter. All the profits are in th

    I switched to buying books from Kobo this year because removing DRM from books bought at Amazon is getting too difficult and unreliable.

    I've never found one. Kobo has the Sage which seems similar at first glance, but unfortunately it also has a stylus. It's closer to a Kindle Scribe or a Remarkable device.

    I probably will move to Kobo eventually as well. My current device is the Oasis and I wish I had bought a spare. I was always hoping Amazon would update it with a USB-C port which I would have bought on day 1. I know it's such a small
