I remember the Million Dollar Homepage which was almost 20 years ago but the question is still valid. This is different, apparently less novel on the surface (selling typical slots, not pixels), so what or who is it for? I am curious too.

It is a good point and I am cautiously following developments on these because it will not be a pleasant surprise out of the blue. Users need to see how it helps, developers need to see where/how it fits, companies "need" (wi

People are just trying things out and it will be some time before developers and users settle on what works best for them. In this case, you need to provide your own API key which is a pretty good filter for who wants to use it. Maybe it&#x

I would put Pulp Fiction near the top of the list for "films with surprisingly wholesome moral examples". The overdose, Butch coming back to help Marcellus and their subsequent parting ways, Jules' acknowledgement that he&#x2

In my case, the only iPad is the cheap secondhand one. It would still be nice if I could "borrow" it for the weekend without having to sign in to every service that is already tied to my Apple ID. I don't disagree with you in

It's pretty common though for people to let kids use the iPad and not their personal-work-everything-MacBook. iPads don't even have a guest mode, so you are essentially limited to deciding whether the whole device is personal or f

There are fashions which are current and involve a measure of adjustability. It isn't necessary to wear only robes and wrapped cloth to achieve this although I understand the occasional desire to throw in (on?) the towel and give up fi

Love it! I am fond of taking video while sitting/standing still, usually in snippets of 15-30 seconds. Last year I started taking longer videos and after showing some to a friend, thought it would be amusing to do it again in one day a

Coming from floppy disks which were always a fridge (or file cabinet) magnet away from total destruction it made sense. I didn't know that anything after vinyl LPs were pressed so burned with a laser just sounded much more permanent th

At the time I (and my dad) were buying CD-R and DVD-R for storing/backing up home media, we still had dial-up internet. "Research" was precious time on the phone line and while I am one to indulge in an excursion down the pre

In case you haven't already, try several different kinds of paper and see if there is any difference. Not necessarily "better" paper; the smoothest writing I felt recently was on the back of a receipt of all things. The steep

Sometimes. It's problematic if you're stuck in a loop of sending a message without actually making the hard or risky strategic decisions.

While many here won't disagree in general, be wary of holding this sentiment as dogma. There can be bad apples in engineering, and MBAs who can see that whether or not they have the knowledge or experience to make it better themselves.

Another upvote, another article I wish I had the knowledge and patience to understand better in context. Still, Alyssa's writeups are a fun read.

For those who want to read physical discs still for whatever reason I highly recommend the Pioneer BDR-XS07UHD. It does CD/DVD/Blu-Ray, can run off external power or over the USB-C connection at slightly slower speeds, is compact

Too much discussion about the Holy Roman Empire over dinner? People talk to get things of their mind sometimes, not the infinite pursuit of conversation.

On top of that, something I still haven't looked into the details on: when you import RAW+JPG photos, the "original" can be set to either one. You can import and make some edits without realizing which is being used unless yo

"Is that the same probe that Hans was... oh, nevermind." Actually the full article title that I see is descriptive enough that I wouldn't have thought of it but that wouldn't fit in the HN form limits I don't think.

To clarify what I think you're suggesting for non-Mullvad users: - Payment can be made in multiple forms which are not tied to a customer identity (you can even mail them cash) - Accounts are not username/password, no personal inf
