That's a hobby farm. They both still work full time day jobs. She's a nurse, he's in marketing (remote work). I guess that's what HN really wants-- having it both ways.

Farming is thankless, backbreaking, poorly-paid work that often is only viable because of subsidies the government provides, because the government recognizes that without farmers we'll all starve. And you're concerned that they&#

All we have to do to fix this is to add taxes to traditional meat until it's more expensive than lab-grown meat.

The second line of his post indicates that he's unable to post using the email account in question, so I must assume that means that the account in its entirety has been blocked

If everything I've paid for and supposedly own some right to access can be taken away from me by a wayward algorithm at a moment's notice with zero recourse, you bet your ass I'm going to "pirate" content, even if I

For some things, e.g. mass-rename, or glob select file management operations, CLIs are much faster than click-click-click GUI operations. I use both, and I don't consider it to be living in the past to use the best tool for the job rat

If you buy a house outright and don't blow tons of money every month on stupid crap you don't actually need like eating out and cinema and clubbing, you can add large swathes of the United States and Western Europe to the list. Ir

I built a lot of PCs and never once had a problem with this. Set the jumpers, use an appropriate cable for the interface bandwidth, plug drives (HDD, ATAPI, whatever) in, enter BIOS, auto detect, done. I am baffled that this gave others t

Someone purportedly writing authoritatively for an audience. You don't get to just invent history out of whole cloth because you "don't have time." If you don't have time to write a factual article, you don't h

I know we're supposed to only contribute commentary that productively advances the conversation, but the thought that keeps bubbling back to the top for me is "lol noob, you sold out; you got what you asked for" ¯\_(ツ)_/

More freedom being taken away for my protection. More obsession with safety over all else. Looks like I'll be using wget more in the near future!

Specs like a 2013 smartphone, and an OS without any commercial app support to speak of. Can't read my work e-mail, can't access my bank...a computer without useful software is only a toy, and the same goes for a phone.

The Pixel 6/6 Pro are rumored to have a 5-year support lifetime (in exchange for costing a grand). If true, I'm getting one. The Pixel 2 XL has been a great phone, despite spending all of Android 10 with most of the sensors not wo

Wow, that lasted less than a year. Well done. At some point maybe all their stuff will be vaporware you have to preorder and then 9 months later they can return 40% of your money and cancel the order.

Bank enough money to formulate an exit plan that includes what you're going to do for money next, after this. I just bought a 10-acre farm in Ireland. I paid cash. Not all of my cash. There's cash left to buy a pickup, animals, sp

So, like, stop using Edge. Firefox doesn't do this crap! At some point, it's the fault of the person choosing the tool that's known to be made by an actor so bad they conceived Windows 10.

You have a strange definition of "great." If any other phone exhibited those characteristics, I would write it off as garbage, not excuse its faults with a promise that they'll be fixed Real Soon Now™

Jesus, that's depressing. 13 years ago I, 25, got a medior infra syseng role in Amsterdam at €70k and 30% ruling, net €4k. The market collapsed during the crisis and never came back.

It's possible to care about more than one thing at once. Some people simply cannot be motivated to work on climate change, but there are 7.5 billion people on the planet, and they don't all need to work on the same thing. We just

I used to live in NL, so I know the paths you mean, and the same applies here in Switzerland. But in Switzerland they instead plate them as cars and drive them on regular roads, keeping up/competing with automobile traffic. These are n
