There's definitely _more_ accountability on Amazon.

Because what's stopping me from getting the same box and putting cheaper components and skipping all quality assurance and undercutting the original? Or even worse, taking the quality control failed items and selling them as working. I

So what's the moat here? I can start a business and sell the same scooter for 1000euros and undercut everyone. I wonder what is preventing competition here from solving this issue organically

I really tried to onboard on Davinci Resolve but it's just too complex for the basic editing I need. It does have brilliant color grading options that are not available in Kdenlive but I'm using premade LUTs for 99% of my edits an

Been using Kdenlive for everything for years now and it's really feeling great now. There are a few quirks you need to learn but generally it's quite simple and intuitive with a huge community and most big LLMs can guide you throu

I used to do that but I've been fully converted to REST and CRUD gang. Once you establish the initial routes and objects it's really easy mount everything else on it and move fast with changes. Also using tools like httpie it&#x27

China has been rolling back subsidies because they won solar panels. No other country is even remotely close to market strength as China here and obviously for Chinese it makes sense to reduce incentives but does that make sense for the US

China does have their own Github as gitee.com¹ which runs a fork of Gitea but it's basically dead because it's impossible to have anything like Github with the current censorship aparatus. Here's the excerpt from wiki: > O

I disagree, the corporate open source is just half of the story. Much of free software space is pushed by idealists who can afford to pursue the ideals due to freedoms and finances provided by capitalist systems.

The country ruled by "people's party" has almost no open source culture while capitalism is leading the entire free software movement. I'm not sure what that says about our society and politics but the absurdist in me is

ICE cars have peaked. ICE car from 2012 is almost no different from ICE car in 2025 other than entertainment value and this is why every manufacturer is targeting premium market even with solved ICE technology.

Not sure what makes you think that way. I explictly said easy issues can be overcome with temperance (i.e. willpower) and hard issues need strong scientific based solutions. "Scream I'm a loser" is neither.

Except things like this are not treatment but just memes

I genuinely don't get this. Let's say you believe it's an addiction - how is this an acceptable treatment? Would we justify something like this for alcoholics? "Scream you're a loser for another can of beer" I&

I live in Thailand as an expat and I have the inverse of your experience and more a kin to this article. There just so many examples like the ones mentioned in the article. When I lived in Chiang Mai I'd just take my bike to any direct

The publishers were just chasing traffic just like everyone else. Link pages were replaced by inline links which were preferred by both search engines and users. The goal was to provide relevant resources on relevant context rather in one b

truly contender for the worst redesign of the decade. It's hard to see how a trillion dollar company would stumble so bad here. They must be real zealots on AR to even go here.

Domain discovery is so underrated. LLMs remove so much friction that makes everything so incredibly accessible. If LLMs couldn't do anything else then that alone would still warrant an invention of a century sticker.

I find the "don't let googlebot see this" kinda funny considering how top google results are often much worse. The captcha/anti-bot is getting so bad I had to move to Kagi to block some domains specifically as browsing c

This seems to be a very clear signal that Catholics think that US is having very serious issues which in turn endangers the world. I'm an atheist but assuming Catholic church justifies itself through "greater good" sort of me

Em dashes without surrounding spaces is such a ugly relic that triggers me to no end and is objectively wrong. The dash object is part of the sentence — not the two words it's separating.

Still unconvinced. You really don't need anything beyond a static site to effectively share information. Another point you're missing is that there's a 3rd group of people sharing content: experts who are there to establish t

It's clearly not. The human user is not requesting the resouce. The web browser is. Where do we stop here? at "please drink a verification can and maintain eye contact at all times"?

big doubt on that and maybe that's a good thing? Let's be honest, right now most of the web is dominated by low effort spam. Taking money away from view farming would dramatically increase the web quality of the web. Suddently tha

You can't expect the benefits of public web without bearing the costs. Just put your stuff under a auth wall (can even be free) and no one will crawl it.

Vanilla JS and the default browser capabilities are quite incredible these days. Server-side templating (jinja2, twig etc.) + vanilla js and some library sprinkle (htmx, graphs) will cover 99% of all web use cases and continue working 10 y

it's easy to see how people might say v3 is an adtech conspiracy. Ads are always served to the user now, expect a noticeable revenue increase by almost every adtech company.
