It’s data on what products are selling well, which they use to create clones and then sell under “Amazon Basics” and other brands. It’s a problem because the small sellers take the financial risk trying to sell a new product, then when Amaz

Does this really need to be said in 2022? The advent of plus addressing was more or less driven because techies were already able to make custom addresses for their domain, and the + could be a standard thing that non-techies could use with

That’s really not great to do long-term, as it would impact your credit rating. Stores cards are seen as one of the worst types of credit, so that will lower it. Also the hard pull on the report as part of the signup process, and the act of

The SE is still on sale and likely to be updated sometime in the next month or so. There’s no way to make it an option within the “same” phone, as the design that allows TouchID necessarily requires a different design.

One thing that might help is accepting the fact that you can never learn everything there is the learn. Human lifespans are finite and it’s just impossible to ever know everything. Focus on getting done what’s in front of you, and once in

You seem to be ignoring my second paragraph. Supply only goes down because the builder has decided it’s not worth it to build any more to sell. That’s the market force that equalizes the price to remain above cost. At that point, as price

by orev 5y ago
The price (of anything) is determined by one thing alone: how much someone is willing to pay for it. That’s it. The cost of building is not relevant in any way to that. Nicer materials, better design, etc. can make people willing to pay mor

I’m so tired of seeing this type of advice given about subscriptions, and shocked to see it on HN. Cancelling the payment method is NOT an acceptable way to cancel a service. It does not absolve you of the obligation you made in the service

All sand is not equal, and it is slowly becoming more scarce. There are already sand mafias popping up due to certain types of sand (used in construction) becoming hard to find. There are black markets, and shady practices already happening

AirTags do sort of change the tracking game. GPS trackers need a relatively large power supply and some kind of data connection. Tile devices are not ubiquitous, and their tracking network is limited to other Tile users. AirTags have a huge

And those things are used to resell bandwidth to spammers and hacking groups so they can get around IP blocks — a sure fire way to get yourself and your customers hacked, and probably disconnected.

I was hesitant to include that example because I was concerned it would be nitpicked in this way. The vast majority of business records are not being sent through machine learning algorithms or being used to factor prime numbers, they’re si

One of the main differences I see on the road to learning to code has nothing to do with the tools; it’s the thought process. A major hurdle is trying to get the business people to coherently express what they want. They seem to have a gene

That seems like a really bad idea. You’re setting yourself up for sleep problems by associating your bed with work, and programming in particular is not a great thing to be doing just before bed, as it gets your brain really worked up. If y

Short answer: No. Encrypted volumes need to be unlocked, and that needs a key in RAM somewhere. The hosting provider has full access to RAM if they want to, and can extract the keys. I’m not sure if people don’t understand this, or don’t ca

If you have coax wired through the house, I strongly recommend MoCa instead of powerline Ethernet. It works very well and doesn’t turn your house into a shortwave radio noise generator.
