I was waiting for someone to point this out. HN came through for me.

Can we put Pandora back in the box?

Why? VTI has been hitting ATH since July. Almost everything is performing well right now, which is why I don't think this is news, particularly.

Yeah, 100% to this too. My wife won't even charge our EV away from home due to the issues we've run into with the various apps. Not only are they all different, they sometimes just fail. And this is sometimes an app issue, but it&

Not disagreeing re: the impact of tariffs. But our problems started before tariffs. If you look at the graph in the article, things started diverging around 2018. You can see all other countries taking off, leaving the US in the dust. And t

I see these complaints on HN a lot, and maybe it’s anecdotal, but I just don’t see this in the real world these days. If someone shares a sheet with me, it’s for the intended purpose of sharing data and/or visualizations of that data.

Within seconds of opening the article, I tried selecting text, and upon realizing that I couldn't, I chuckled, knowing that it had to be intentional.

Encouraging others with positivity to be kind is rarely a bad thing. Dismissing others that try to spread positivity is rarely a good thing.

This feels like the opposite of rickrolling, though. Instead of naively trusting the link, only to click it and get rickrolled, you’re naively distrusting the link, so you’ll never know the link was fine all along.

Why do people still answer phone calls from unrecognized numbers? Just don’t. If it’s actually someone that needs to reach you, they can leave a VM. But 99.99% of the time, phone calls from unrecognized numbers are spam/scams.

I’ve got a 27” CRT right next to my 65” LG OLED C9 (which is starting to feel ancient, too). It sits in a cabinet that currently holds an NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, and PS2. It doesn’t get a ton of playtime, but when my now 21- and 18-year-o

Yeah, a lot of words/letters made sense, but I definitely had to use some deduction to read it. Interesting, and given the limitation, it’s quite impressive. But I think “probably” is optimistic. I’d say “possibly” is more realistic.

Fair points. I guess some level of uneasiness can be a good thing for some folks. But I also recognize it can possibly trigger anxiety (overwhelming, in some cases) for some folks, even if you don't realize that it might (until it&#x27

I’m a little confused by these comments about not checking stuff unless you get a notification. Do you get notified of every article on HN that you read? Or what about YouTube or other content that you consume? I’ve had email notifications

I still wish a better name had been coined/had stuck. It’s hard to take the name “vibe coding” seriously, and maybe that was the whole point, but I feel like AI coding is a bit more serious than the name “vibe coding” implies. Anyone t

Wouldn't we see dementia occurrence higher among cooks, then? Or do we?

Wouldn't that suggest that, at least to some degree, dementia would be elevated in humid vs. dry climates?

Tangential comment, but it’s crazy to think about how, when we look up at the stars in the sky, we’re seeing light in wildly varying degrees of age. For example, when we look at the sun, that’s 8-minutes-old light. When we look at Polaris
