Not sure about metadata, but cover art persists through the email-to-kindle process at least.

I dislike that framing. It seems disingenuous to call "doing what I'm required to do by my employer" any variant on "quitting". It's explicitly not quitting, after all. If the employer expects that you do mor

It does look like /e/ mimics iOS by default , though, which is where I think the original poster's criticism is aimed. The screenshot in this article showing bliss is very iOS-y.

Amusingly enough, unless this is your joke whooshing over my head, in this case you're the one not understanding the context of a comment. OP is talking about the same comments the article is talking about -- those on commits on GitHub

For what it's worth, Jones did have to spend several years consistently abusing the discovery process (across multiple cases before this same judge) before it got to this point. It's not like he made one or two innocent mistakes a

Complaining about voting gets you downvoted, pretty reliably. It's also against the community guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html EDIT: plus, I guess your second comment is insinuating about br

I used to read Dilbert when I was a kid in the 90s, which perhaps made me a weird kid. With that background, it's actually quite strange to see the examples of recent strips this article presents -- because they show the pointy-haired

I mean, assuming that Adams doesn't do his own coloring, I bet it's just that whoever colors the comics forgot the character was Black. As the article notes, it's literally the first Black character in the strip, and they had

Oh, I totally agree that the end-to-end part is speculation and tea-leaves reading. If it happened it'd take this approach from completely neutral to a net positive. (Again, in my eyes.)

This feature isn't really aimed at nudity-in-general, but rather at specifically sexual targeting of minors. The scenario it's most totally thinking of is "a creepy older person tries to trade naked picture of themselves with

Yeah, I'm actually surprised that there's not a way to turn this on for non-child accounts. I've definitely known people who're in the dating scene who'd like to have a choice before seeing a nude picture from som

Their proposed system was to scan stuff on your phone as part of the upload-to-iCloud process. I.e. only stuff that was about to be on their servers (where it could be scanned) anyway would get scanned, and you could thus completely opt out

Unfortunately, all of the text spam I get is of the scammy misrepresentation variety, and is going to fail on the "identify the other party" step. Edit: for instance https://imgur.com/D780jAX -- after I naïvely re

Being an asshole doesn't have to be about what you're doing, it can be about how you're doing it. In fact, that's normally how I see it used -- referring to an abrasive person who's difficult to interact with. (

I've seen people making that comparison, and it feels off to me. The defining element of that "corporate" art style is that it's really flat -- abstract figures with minimal details and bold colors. By contrast, Return s

I think Gilbert got hit hard by this because he's been running this personal blog since 2004, and suddenly getting a flood of shitty comments can't be fun.

For Return in particular it does make sense to compare it to 1 and 2, since Return seems to be picking the series up where Gilbert left it and ignoring what others did since then. (For what it's worth, I remember Curse causing some con

Some people don't like the art style chosen for the new game, which is pretty stylized. Some of them are being extremely (vocally) shitty about it.

Vitalik's one of the founders of Ethereum, so I'd guess that "minimizing carbon footprint" isn't one of his primary goals. (Yes, yes, proof-of-stake, claimed to finally be launching later this year. That's been
