The money didn't go to people. It went to banks. The reason the Fed issued the money to banks is so they don't collapse. Why would they collapse? Banks use deposits as collateral to make investments. During the crisis, a lot peopl

I'm not sure if the Fed pulled back the trillions it pumped into the banks during the crisis, but until that happens, banks don't have a real incentive to compete for deposits.

HN is not just for news. It's for whatever you deem worthy of sharing. It comes down to how many people agree it's interesting by upvoting :)

It's weird people are complaining about how Twitter did something wrong this once or how knowing you're being attacked is useless. I see this as nothing but positive. Could it be better? Sure, but what can't be better. Kudos

But at least he was asking for it this time, unlike Dorian Nakamato.

True enough. I hadn't had the chance to read the article until now, and it's nothing like the Newsweek "expose."

Once again, you have a journalist ruining a person's life by claiming they created BitCoin. Wired better be able to back it up.

I love the vector space analogy. I have been thinking about the same thing: that the simplest languages have a minimal set of "orthogonal" features; though it never occurred to me to describe them in those terms. But hey, it'

I have pretty much never seen a component specify wattage. They always specify the voltage and current draw. Voltage and current are easy to measure with a pair of multimeters, so it's more useful to have those numbers than wattage.

Re: global keyboard shortcuts. I found https://github.com/msfeldstein/chrome-media-keys a while back. It's amazing. It's not flawless, but it adds global controls to most websites.

Agreed. I clicked because I was curious why people stopped liking the carbon form.

I think so, but I can't find it, so I'm guessing it hasn't been released yet. Those seem to be excerpts released by the author.

I'm trying to find this book, but coming up short. Can somebody tell me the name of the book?

I tried pressing Alt with my left thumb, and it felt like playing Twister using my hand. Hats off to your dutiful fingers.

I'm pretty sure LinkedIn filters by IP address. A long time ago, I noticed they let me through without logging in if I used my home connection, but made me log in if I were connecting through my VPN. Note: exact same browser session, m

I don't think that's what dandare meant. They were asking for an app that uploads the video _as it's being recorded_. If you have to stop recording before having the video backed up, all a bad actor needs to do is physically

Disk encryption is supposed to be the security measure that thwarts that, to an extent. The attacker can probably use your device, but if you have it set up correctly, they shouldn't be able to read your data.

That's pretty cool -- I'll definitely start using your tricks. Thanks for sharing!

Agreed. I'm all for cracking down on title bait, but this is just going too far. This submission had a clear, descriptive title, and now it completely lacks context.

Sorry, I thought they linked to this https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Maintainership-transf... Note: that's an old version. The current revision is here https://github.com/gorhill&#

It's maintained by the original author. The readme is a good place to start researching, but it's not that interesting a topic tbh. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/master/README.md

Interesting read, but please label PDFs. I hate clicking on them while on my phone.

That works if you want to pretend you're from a different country. It doesn't work if you want to anonymize yourself.

It's a perfectly typical change in the price but normally you look at the change relative to the market that day. I'm on mobile but essentially if all the auto companies don't move and Tesla goes up 0.75% then it's a pre

Just realized it's April fools' day … I was planning my move away from the increasingly bloated Chrome. Then it hit me.
