   The idea is neat. The UI didn't really work for me in a couple of ways: - The modal input mechanism feels kind of clumsy. An extra click is needed for the most common move, and the buttons are somehow too inconspicuous. At least I kept

   Not only old news, but fake news. There was no "threat", and the same risk had been disclosed in their security forms for years. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30303585

   Ok, what do those numbers actually mean? Twitter has 200M "monetizable" DAUs. The poster suggests that spending $1B would move those users and those users traffic over. That implies that $5 in some shitcoin would be enough to make

   Thanks! That'd be a lot more reasonable, it just isn't how the article reads. Is the official announcement somewhere? (I.e. what you're saying seems to be that for a $100 item that they charged $5 to ship previously, they wil

   I think the point is that Amazon is already taking a percentage cut. If there is inflation, the prices of the good would be raised by the seller and that automatically increased how much Amazon makes. Them increasing the size of the percent

    So was there even a single ad on that search result page? From your original description it certainly didn't sound so. If not, how did it contribute to you being shown more ads?

    The most convenient way to play seems to be to use mouse for selection, keyboard for sliding. That would become pretty inconvenient if sliding required use of the shift key too.

    There is currently an Apple employee on the k8s steering committee, so they could mean that. Or, since the sentence is applying to a list of projects rather than to k8s specfically, it could be just a misparse and they're not claiming

    I think the case is a little bit more subtle than described. Linux doesn't actually need ICMP-based path MTU discovery to figure out the safe MSS to use. It implements RFC 4821-style MTU probing, where after repeated retransmissions th

    Nokia is still releasing new models (oh God, so many new models), and I think they're all on Android One. But indeed the Android One website not being updated with new ones is a bad sign.
