I would define hype as a situation where the shovel sellers make more money than the shovelers combined

I completely agree. The hack-day we had at work was the most fun work day I had in the last year. Getting to spend paid working time building something cool, without being tied to any stakeholder input or organization processes was a super

I have never heard that being brought up in a (serious) conversation about UBI tbh. I've had quite a few discussions about this, the most common things people were happy about would be - Having a financial safety net and removing some

This is it! People have a little bit of a screwed perception of what is „fulfilling“. Yes, there are people whose only kind of fulfilling may be working for a NGO that is trying to fight climate change, save kids in poor countries of the wo

I‘m genuinely curious, but isn’t a CO2 sensor an unnecessary high tech solution considering you could just open your window once a day for a few minutes and let the air exchange?

I don’t think it is. Gnome is usable without this behavior that, as it states in the repo description, is mostly an attempt to replicate the behavior of windows or KDE. This can be good for some users, but Gnomes goal is not to replicate ot

But repairability isn't only about the components being accessible (the glue holding in the battery is an absolute nightmare). It is also about the availability of authentic parts. Historically, Apple made sourcing genuine parts an imp

I feel like this is some sort of biased perception. I suppose most people who are interested enough in technology to talk about smartphone choices are also somewhat interested in this AI craze. However, most people probably aren’t that inte

Im really surprised how obsessed people are with something as arbitrary as the phone manufacturer someone is using. I have no clue what phones my friends and family is using, I barely manage to remember the iPhone generation I am on.

> building on top of technologies that they do not understand, powered by companies they do not control. Isn’t that pretty much the status quo?

You technically don’t need them if people would consume reasonable amount of animal products, which they don’t. In the actual real world we all live in the vast majority of meat comes from factory farms whose entire existence relies on feed

A modern battery far outlives the rest of the vehicle when you look at the charging cycles. So you can afford to use some of it for home electricity storage. AFAIK some cells types easily last 3,000 cycles at >80% capacity. Assume 400km&

Medicine has its limits. You can’t infinitely stretch a human life as it has its natural limits. Nowadays, in large parts of the world new births a decreasing much faster than modern medicine is advancing life expectancy. Look at charts sho

Im curious as to why people are still concerned about over population nowadays. Most of the „western“ world expects shrinking populations within the next two or do decades. Even huge countries like China aren’t expected to grow anymore. Bas

I get the perspective, but I also like the fact that ISPs do take over some of the admin burden associated with running a piece of equipment like a router. You, I and most of the HN crowd may be well capable of maintaining a reasonably secu

Yeah I apologize, I fell into that rabbit hole purely by accident, but it is really really interesting and considering the current prices to get a home built, maybe even practically applicable some day :D

Hard disagree on that one. I am daily driving an RDNA2 graphics unit for 1.5 years now and it’s absolutely sufficient. I mostly do office work and occasionally play Minecraft. It’s absolutely sufficient for that and I don’t see any reason w

I don’t think the sentiment is misinformed. I understand your position and I’ve had pleasant experiences on discord in the past with people being very willing to help. However, the help I received for my problem is basically impossible to d

There is nothing inherently wrong with Java, people just love to joke about it. To some extent, justifiably so. Not necessarily because of the language, more because of the common patterns in established there

I am aware that this is the case, especially since I am European. However, this is a non-argument against my initial claim. The top comment made a point implying that having home charging stations is only possible if you're living that

One could argue that in Europe, you’d have a much easier time to design the infrastructure in such a way that reliance on cars in general is substantially reduced, hence also removing demand for EV chargers of any kind

So a breakthrough like the one people are saying is just around the corner for 40 years now?

Payment information is often subject to pretty strict regulatory requirements, including archival durations. Having to keep all the original information for 10 years is not entirely uncommon.

Having bought an induction powered stove recently, I am genuinely surprised by the popularity of gas powered stoves. It’s just so incredibly efficient and fun to cook with induction stoves

I'm a huge KDE fan, but I don't think switching from Gnome to KDE for the workstation version would be any good. Instead, I feel like promoting the KDE Spin from something unofficially feeling to an officially prominently listed a
