1st party ads are not unblockable. They only lack one aspect that helps identify them (the 3rd party hostname). But they still can be dealt with. One way browsers try to take away that freedom is by limting what extensions can do. If that c

To those who have tinnitus: When you put a finger in your ear and create a bit more or a bit less pressure - does that change the frequency of your tinnitus? Because for me it totally does. And I wonder if every tinnitus is like that. Also:

A battery with 1 kg of mass would only collapse into into a black hole if it is very small. A bottle of water is 1 kg and I never saw one collapsing.

Aha! So the most efficient mass based rechargeable battery would be one that while loading creates antimatter and while being used burns that antimatter with air (or other stuff) it takes from the environment.

I mean for batteries in general. Independent of the technology. For the spinning matter battery, the limit might be when the whole matter of 1 kg spins at the speed of light. I wonder if it matters how big the radius is with which it spins

I have two questions regarding batteries I often wonder about. Maybe the wisdom of the HN crowd can answer one or both of them: Is there a theoretical limit on how much energy a rechargeable battery of, say, 1 kg mass can hold? Can a rechar

Nothing is abused, nothing is bypassed. The article makes it sound like IDS/IPS&WAF are intended to do input validation so it fits the applications model of the data. They are not. They are intended to harden the whole stack a litt

I beg to differ. Alice wants to send $1 to Bob via Bitcoin. Alice needs some Bitcoin to do so. Hoddler sells some Bitcoin to Alice for $1.01 Alice sends that to Bob. Now Bob wants to change it to $. Hoddler buys back for $1 Hoddler has a re

The energy consumption is priced into the cost of holding and transacting Bitcoins. I wonder if it is any different with any other thing you pay for. Or if any money you pay for anything ultimately results in energy being used up.

A bookmarklet is only invoked when you click it. Not on every fricking website you visit. And it would just have to be a single line that you can read so you can trust it. Something like: javascript:location.href='https:/&#x

A bookmarklet would be better. It could achieve the same functionality without the security issues of an extension.

The headlines all seem totally wrong. Uber: $1.25M VC capital turned into $84.2B That sounds like the guys who invested $1.25M now own $84B worth of Uber stock. I don't think that is even remotely true. I would think there cam

Well, each team member has their own set of skills. Say ... Joe. Joe is good at looking at some mockup and turning it into html+css code. So somewhere in the development process, Joe has an important role. But why should Joe be able to push
