Because they allow third parties to build bigger ID graphs and audiences for ad targeting. By all means, have them for convenience for those users who want to use them, but for the rest of us who know better, we’d appreciate the option to p

My USR Courier and solid ISP would allow me to rock a 185 ping in Quake 1. So many fond memories of those devices.

I used a realtor to buy my new home and I sold my previous home to Zillow. The process of buying my new home flat out sucked. The entire process was slow, outdated, and frustrating. However, working with Zillow was incredibly easy and not a

Most people. Why? A myriad of reasons, potentially, but here are two big ones: 1. Because ad-supported hardware makes for low prices and people prefer to pay less. 2. Most people are largely uncaring about seeing advertising on their device

No, they don’t care. If they did, their relatively paltry donations to charity would be closer to 95% of their net worth at any given moment. They are wholly incapable of spending their current ~$100b, growing at insane rates YoY, in their

This is why I got into vinyl; I love the art. I have streaming available in every room via Alexa devices but I do enjoy the experience of vinyl when I’m being intentional about my music listening. Between the art and the tactile experience

It’s why I hired a company to do the work and returned the battery operated leaf blower. It’s worth every penny to have someone else do the work.

I recently bought a new house where I had to care for the yard (previously owned in a HoA which handled yard care) and tried an electric leaf blower. It made it no more than 10 mins on a charge and the batteries took 8-10 hours to get back

Possibly, but since we’re hypothesizing: it could potentially be that unions are better suited for aiding those working in some professions and not others. Perhaps highly educated knowledge workers can better manage salary/benefits and

I think everyone understands the historical good unions did for the average worker. But, particularly for workers who most often frequent sites like HN, unions have not had much of a positive impact, contemporarily.

I make enough money to support $180/annual for a product; however, I see no reason to pay that kind of money for a web browser. It costs the same as a full-priced Windows 10 Pro license. I'm sure there are folks who are willing to

It isn’t silly nor did it require you to jump to the defense of vim’s behavior. It was a simple statement that vim’s functionality can be clunky and with all of its flexibility, it cannot handle something as simple as nano/pico’s metho
