I assume to use the paid search, you need to be authenticated to search? Privacy NIGHTMARE. Just because they're taking your money, doesn't mean they care about you.

No, not exemptions! Drop the stupid-ass law all together.

Brave is such a horrible brand. I don't think they'll succeed, but they're definitely trying to do MS-style EEE. Browser, search engine, and security (nefariously called "ad blockers" by the people that don't w

Needing to be authenticated too run a search feels very wrong, in soooo many ways.

Sounds more like problems with an industry built on a million awful business decisions. Scalping is only profitable because they haven't priced the tickets to match the demand. Scalpers aren't buying beer in the venue and re-selli

Why is scalping a problem?

Maybe they expect the readers they care about to use an ad blocker, and are happy to make money off the weirdos that don't. As long as they don't nag me with a pop up to turn it off, I'm totally cool with that play.

For places that actually want to stay a nice place to live, for people that don't suck, incentivizing billionaires, current and would-be, to GTFO, is good. Push them as far out into the fringes as possible. Force them to live close to

Slavery. They've all specifically stated that exact goal as well. No contradiction at all.

To expand on your previous point, "because the criticism is with all of it", I think the criticism is really with the HN community allowing so much of it to reach the front page. A little bit would be tolerable, but the ENTIRE fro

I've tried the fediverse but beef and coconut aren't there, so there's just no point.

Dumb. Just make it legal to reverse engineer the software, the community will take care of the rest, in a way the community actually wants, instead of getting just the bare minimum compliance from the original company, if they even still ex

How did "Concrete Construction: Methods and Costs" come to be the #1 download?

How so? The code was already coded, the tests were already coded, the architecture was already in place. Even the help in needed to map some stuff to the new language was already coded. What did AI actually do here?

That's basically just *nix + a fancy (but less so by the day) DE + product lock-in.

Why do people even use docking stations anymore? I've never used one but I have used plenty of KVM-type devices that just work over various standard usb/display ports. What's the appeal of using the specialized "docking&

WTH? I finally started learning Azure Pipelines this week, and they cancel the whole concept? :)

I expect it will be just fine. It's like bragging about getting the words right on a mental health exam. AI was given the answer, it just repeated it back in a slightly different format. Even a stupid human could have done that.

What is up with so many sites showing content then completely blanking and reloading after a few seconds? It's a thousand times more annoying than just taking a little longer before showing anything. Medium, every MS product on the int
