If it puts you at ease at all, rather than not being mentioned enough, that actually seems to be one of the most common complaints about Airbnb.

There was that thing a few months* back about Iranian software devs losing GitHub access due to the newer sanctions. Presumably if you were to host on IPFS it would be more difficult for people to cut you off like that. What's the pra

Everything is stopping. Layoffs, across-the-board closures, mortgage holidays. Hyperbole, but the property owners who get paid to stand still are the only ones still expecting to get paid.

So where is the accountability, then? Does it fall on whatever % of owners who are active investors? Or are they shielded by the fact that there's a mutual fund present who pledges to simply vote with the board on every decision? Doesn

If we take that the liquor store that tourists shop in is the same liquor store/cafe/plumber that the locals use, then aren't those several layers of "fleecing" just..the regular economic activity for the area? I ca

The pressure / desire to travel is also dropping sharply, though. Limiting all Schengen traffic is an extreme example, but it's not obvious that some level of restriction would necessarily produce a significant bottleneck effect (

Minimum wage is a pretty glaring hole in this assertion.

I'm not lacking internal monologue, but this resonated with me. Often I can feel that I have a complex idea more or less nailed down, but it's an effort to stop and put things into words, even internally. Other times though even a

Completed the tree, but admittedly it was shorter back then. I also did it in parallel with the Language Transfer podcast, which I've mentioned on HN before but is an amazing resource for understanding how a new language works structur

As someone who followed the same method (DuoLingo for vocab, start reading, start talking) and now speaks a second language fluently, I'm not OP but I'll go ahead and vouch for their comment.

Identity.NET for embedding a library, Identity Server for hosting a service. They're not the simplest, and unfortunately the scaffolding story with Identity.NET is a bit of a nightmare for MVC apps (if you're not careful, you can

With a good deal of skepticism, I switched the environment where I do about half of my work to a font with ligatures some time ago. Just to try it out for a while. I happily forgot that I had done it as a trial, and upon reading this headli

This is my setup, yeah. Except ublock origin rather than umatrix. Blocking ads, blocking js, EU. Firefox on Android. Additionally, my traffic and dns go through a (also EU hosted) DO droplet which is running pihole and dnscrypt.

Loads perfectly for me with js disabled via ublock origin, just a clean article.

Soil salinization as a result of unsustainable farming practices messing up the water table are one example of life not just finding a way.

You can't really wield 'social reaction' like that. In many western societies in 2020, for example, many people's learned reaction to loud puritanism is to casually wonder what skeletons are being so desperately hidden.

Traditionalists is a good one. No worries folks! It's just tradition around these parts to petition a university to expel an adult because a video leaked onto the internet of them having sex. They knew the risks!

Sure, but much further along in the value chain. They'd much rather be importing cobalt (soybeans) and exporting iPhones (pork).

There's an open source (GPL) client app (last updated last week) on F-Droid called Dib2Qm for exactly this, and it's apparently e2e as well. I haven't used it, I just happened across it yesterday out of sheer coincidence. Lin

There's been some research which has shown the reframing being effective, but they only studied whether considering eg. a trolley problem in any second language produced significantly different results compared to a native language. So

What a world. It feels like this is one of those topics where one side of the tracks has a vastly different worldview to the other. During the UK conservative party leadership contest earlier this year I thought it was pretty telling that

Alternatively, using just Firefox: stop (X) the page loading after the content has loaded but before the giant JavaScript bundle has downloaded, and then enter reader mode.

As someone who occasionally reads but usually does their very best to avoid this topic due to its tendency to be a total minefield, I just wanted to let you know that this particular argument doesn't work for me at all. You'd be b

Can you spell out what you are implying here? Is it that the people posting in this thread are.. authors or stakeholders of malicious extensions? Do they all work for Mozilla? Are they a part of some rival industry which stands to benefit f
