Newegg had a broken motherboard, already tried to RMA it themselves, then (likely accidentally) sold it as open box. I see no big problem with that first part at all. Seems like a honest accident - stuff like that can happen. No big deal, i

Fantastic idea - some rough edges in actual implementation though. Still, since GitHub does render Mermaid, it might be useful to create a GitHub action that automatically generates an updated diagram.MD directly from the models on every co

Child abuse is a serious topic. It should be treated seriously. Evoking a topic like that, creating fear and outrage in an attempt to sway public opinion - by encouraging an emotional response rather than a rational one - is to be considere

I can't speak for others - but I don't hate the Block Chain. I think the technological underpinnings are pretty interesting. I'm also kinda fascinated to watch what will happen next - will crypto currencies get government reg

It's a decent website - a useful collection of information and links to additional information, that can serve as a starting point to learn more. For those who use PHP, or for those who'd like to learn to use it, this might be use

Yes and no - depending on how strictly you want to define "like Facebook". Churn (loss of existing users) is normal, and happens all the time to all online platforms. To keep growing overall, any platform needs to acquire more new

People have always dreamed of flying... in highly varying intensity. At the one extreme we got people afraid of flying and never wanting to leave the ground at all - and at the other extreme we have people absolutely obsessed with flying. B

Are you asking about how many requests per second - or about how many request per floppy (before that needs replacing)? ;)

Not just "like" - they are a completely different company. It's well known that in the wake of the huge success of WoW they had to completely re-organize the company in order to be able to properly support a game with an acti

I think that to be able to properly answer a question, it is very important to first try and fully understand the question, and to know where it's coming from. If the egg IS a chicken, then the question "the chicken OR the egg&quo

Elementary, my dear Watson. While the question seems to strongly imply that "chicken" is meant to refer to the hatched animal (which is also the most commonly accepted interpretation) - it does not spell that out. Thus it's n

> What came first, the chicken or the egg? This one does actually have a definitive answer! Evolutionary, there has to be an ancestor to the chicken that is not a chicken itself. It doesn't even matter where exactly you draw the lin

I'm pretty convinced that SHEIN cannot legally take instagram pictures of the original designers wearing their own creations, and then use those pictures as product images on the SHEIN shop without permission.

It is illegal. But for a small, independent fashion designer it's not quite feasible to take on a large Chinese corporation in court.

So... Are you trying to argue that it's easier today to make an acceptable company website than it was in the 90ies... or that it was easier in the 90ies than it is now?

No, it's most definitely not the best example of a modern web app. But everyone reading this knows it, and it does serve as proof that you can build a successful website with extremely little design & features. Therefore it seemed

I don't think any of this is "good" web-design. But my argument never was about the layout or design of Hacker News being "better". What I meant to argue was, that content is king, and that everything else should se

It's definitely a great time to build websites, but saying they _NEVER_ have been easier to make... I'm not 100% sure about that. Yes, tailwind might make css a lot easier, and github copilot might make coding a lot faster... but
