Why does the site need Capcha before it even displays anything at all ?

In South Africa Cannabis has been legal for personal use in "places where you have an expectation of privacy" (but selling is still illegal) for several years now. So far the world has not ended, the country doesn't sit aroun

Just wondering how this might be an attack vector for fucking with Bing... I can think of a couple of avenues; the most elegant would be if the URL itself triggered something within the scanner/URL processor; next up would be the conte

This is pretty much precisely what Parkinson's Law predicts.

"Bot" and "curated" in the same sentence? I think not. "Curate" does not simply mean "select" or "filter". From Wiktionary: "To apply selectivity and taste to, as a collection..."

There are, by default, no drop shadows either.

Krunner is my friend! ;) Between Krunner and a few custom hot-keys I seldom use a conventional app launcher any more...

Thank you for that! Was disabled (so very light grey) because "Use Theme border size" was selected, so I never noticed the whole thing. I say again, though: Defaults matter!

Who the hell decided that windows no longer need a border? Clearly someone who never has overlapping windows open at the same time. It's a horror-show of trying to visually figure out where one window ends and the one beneath it begins

This. This is why you don't want analytics on your blog/website/platform. Analytics leads you into crowd-pleasing, veering away from your own insights and truth. I've probably written on the order of that many articles,

I must, with respect, disagree that "the cloud" is the same (or even close to the same) thing. Indeed, you use the acronym "PC", which, I'll remind the crowd stands for "Personal Computer". It has recently

I contend that there are two Hard Problems in building shared digital places: Discovery and Enabling Serendipity. And of the two, Discovery is probably the easier.

The question/problem with the approach is: Who owns the commons, the Shared Space? Usually the answer is Not So Good.

I think the point is that if this only exists in Apple World, then really it exists as a little, isolated island, and the entire point of having "anyone with a computer" able to play is lost.

There is no such thing as an acceptable ad. All ads are an attempt to hack our primate brains, and, as such, must be prevented at all cost from doing so. Block all ads. It's the only sane thing to do.

Wearing my Tinfoil Hat: I see a looming, hypnotically-self-induced recession, manufactured precisely so that workers (incl. those who tend to hang on HN) feel more insecure and thus feel less empowered to say "No" to back-to-the-o

Oh gods, and I misread it at first as "Legitimate career break". :O (Also Laughing Out Loud!)

Is it really in our nature? Or is it something that results from the incentives that emerge from the social systems (primarily the particular money systems) we've built over time?

"We'll send you an OTP via SMS" with no other alternative. And usually with a fairly short timeout. I live in an area with poor cellular coverage. SMSs can take as long as weeks (6 weeks in one extreme case) to get to me.

What's the (likely?) effect of this scarf on surveillance cameras that we see everywhere in streets and stores?

But no Linux install. Mac/Win only. (Not a criticism, the reasons are entirely understandable; there are probably not many writers who use a Linux platform; just worth noting for the tiny minority of us who do prefer Linux.)

Too open to abuse and being gamed for nefarious purposes, both of which result in a blocklist that's effectively useless.

Au contraire! DO feed the GRAFT - misinformation, noise, wrong answers only. PS. The 1960's called and wanted their slogan back: "Fight the computer, fold your punch-cards."

+1 - I came here to ask about the noise emitted by this "water boittle" turbine. A local neighbour has 4 small turbines (the kind typically used on boats) mounted atop 14m masts, and they make a hell of a racket when the wind is s
