The tax savings (let alone cost of living savings) of avoiding California for most readers of this comment would pay for a professional data removal service 100x.

It has been long predicted that federated models (like Nostr) just degrade into a few providers that monetize in the same way they would if the network was centralized. It's the worst of both worlds between centralization and real dece

The cope and envy in the comments here are among the worst I've read on Hacker News. The anti-tech hysteria has even made it here. Sad days.

Elephant in the room: what about meetings where the purpose is to receive updates, maintain context on project progress, etc.? Yes, sometimes (often!) these meetings can be emails or messages — but sometimes it's important to be able t

It is not surprising nor particularly novel. But consider the people upvoting this are supporting a sensationalistic and dishonest Jacobin article right now. Of course it doesn't make sense.

Given the mountain of evidence for Wikipedia's left wing bias[1][2][3][4], it seems something ought to change, but hard to answer "how?" I expect to receive many downvotes for this, despite providing high-quality and authorit

I haven't found this to be the case. I check both regularly and much of the "science" that has engagement on Bluesky is thinly-veiled political slop earning engagement as a form of tacit "resistance". It's pape

I believe the Bases are Markdown files that contain filters for other Markdown files. So it's still all Markdown. Amazing actually.

The fact that you can't actually see the passkey is absurd. I understand it's a "feature" prevent phishing — victims have a lot less to share — but it constrains more sophisticated storage and use of passwords.

I have personally found Marc's takes refreshing and vital. HN, like many sites, has become more cynical and even self-loathing. There are so many in here who hate tech and even progress and growth. Marc's descriptions in the link

The honest truth is that you (like many; I say this blamelessly) have been swept left, whereas Marc has not. He has remained utterly loyal to technological progress, which is under assault right now politically. Ask yourself honestly if you

Cars have killed millions of people. Add to that the consequences of electricity, industrialization, urbanization, and even capitalism itself. But billions and billions of people are not only better off -- living lives of outrageous luxury

It usually does, just with a time delay and a strict condition that the firm you work at can actually commercialize your productivity. Apply your systems thinking skills to compensation and it will all make sense.

Equity investments like this don't need to be repaid, so there isn't a legal obligation to repay them. Of course, there is an obligation to maximize shareholder value — but that is totally independent of the dollar amount invested

When an artist trains by studying the masters and prior art, and even imitation, they are not acting as copying machines. Unfortunately for your interpretation, these are not copy machines neither on a technical nor philosophical level. Sep

Inequality is very simply to include in these models, and they do. The problem is that the models often show that the median quality of life improves faster when there's somewhat more inequality in the system, which flies in the face o

I have been banned from Hetzner multiple times now and believe me, nothing I was doing is even strange, let alone worthy of bans. I don't think an EU cloud can ever be trusted.

Europe is going down an incredibly dark path. Political censorship, encryption bans, and absurd consumer "protection" laws (e.g., like those limiting AI rollouts) mean Europeans are becoming second class globally. The irony of thi

I went through several cities I know (and several I don't) and the lists made no sense, with many misclassifications. Great intention though.

Worth noting that people have been unpacking and analyzing DeepSeek-R1 vigorously for days already on X before it got to Hacker News — it wasn't always this way.

Interesting how the online left now is beginning to care about decentralizing social media again after years of deriding the topic and espousing (obviously politicized) "content moderation" efforts. Unfortunately, this is also s

I used to be a utilitarian 15-20 years ago after reading the work of Peter Singer and many others. These days, I have to admit its application has been almost without exception backwards if not reprehensible. It seems to lead inevitably eit

Email is ostensibly a decentralized system. But in its real-world use, it is centralized both at the application layer and at the protocol layer. At the application layer, email clients (like the Gmail or iOS email app) are typically bundle

Isn't this very strong evidence in favor of a thesis that HN hates? That the most important networks (like YouTube) ought to be decentralized? Unfortunately, a strike in favor of the blockchain people — the best of which have been work
