That sounds absolutely insane. Doesn't Google have any way to dispute the business ownership? Can I take over any business on the maps by just registering a domain that contains the business name?

Your pictures give insight into such a small world, individual freaking transistors on a CPU chip! Reading textbooks and wiki is one thing, but seeing silicon spliced up and photographed up close is another. Very interesting read, and very

Oh man, I loved that game as a kid. I did not have internet back then, but I didn’t care - I spent hours playing against bots. I still remember the voice taunts and callouts (“I slaughtered that guy!”) and creative maps like ctf_face. Then

Is this personal attack on consumers really needed, especially here on HN?

You're describing an iPhone. I've switched from Android to SE2 in 2020, and bought 15 last year on release day to get the type-c charging. I feel it ticks most of your boxes: * excellent battery life - can't complain about it

They did? I missed that. It hasn’t lasted even ten years, has it? I remember reading the Domains announcement and thought to myself - “you have to be a fool to trust Google to host your domains long-term”. Feels good to be right, but I feel

Empirical evidence. I've tried some fake brick sets, most of them were obviously not as good. The QC is worse for sure, but it's the little things - sometimes it's weight, sometimes it's texture, sometimes it's colo

In my 2016 Mazda 3 the physical selector is superb - rotating it scrolls through on-screen CarPlay buttons, pressing it activates the highlighted item. Way less dangerous IMO than reaching to the screen, trying to touch it with some degree

With only difference being that you can buy non-apple device with different features, while Bell was pretty much the only option people had.

Mottos like that live their own life. Take google’s “dont be evil” - people remember that, and see all the evil shit google does now, of course they are going to recall the motto and laugh at the irony. Whatever Sergey meant when he coined

How so? I am oblivious to this aspect of the bill, it looks like a net benefit to users. How is this going to benefit adtech?

It's really noticeable and really frustrating. A few days ago I've found myself searching in DDG, then switching to Google since DDG gave me no useful results. The first page was blogspam and ads, literally zero relevant links. I

What does the article indicate then? Everything working as intended? I am wondering if the pedestrian that was dragged six meters by a autonomous machine felt much safer. The AVs do not work well in the edge cases - exactly in those situati

This is such a silly argument. Let’s call it “m” then - it’s even easier to type, so should be an even bigger win, right? Thousands of scripts and workflows be damned.

Still not an equivalent to what Google and Meta are doing. Google and Meta are everywhere on the internet. Google controls the most popular browser. The volume of data that those two harvest is absurd.

Fascinating. I love the different rituals that humans all over the world perform for their dead, there is something morbidly beautiful in all of it. Haven't heard of sin eaters before, now I am a bit intrigued by the book! Thanks, OP.

As if you dont need nodes, pods and a runtime for Nomad. An ex-colleague “sold” us developers nomad once as an easier, better alternative to k8s. They used exact same arguments, and we ended up with Nomad for our test and staging environmen

Looks really cool, the kind of tech fashion that doesn't scream "nerd!". I am a bit torn by they keyboard though - the primary labels are certainly not functional, and secondary english labels look like last-minute addition w

Have you seen Metallica live? Lars is allllll over the place with his drumming, to the point where "live" recordings are heavily edited. Nothing wrong with the editing, but if you pull up some videos on youtube comparing fan recor

I choose to use Firefox, for more than a decade. It does not mean I am a happy user, and it does not mean that I can't complain about Mozilla being shittifed year after year.

Textbook whataboutism. Google is objectively evil, what that has to do with Firefox, my "user agent", showing me Disney ads?

Do you think that the funds go to the top end engineers? I'd say that most of it goes to the bloated management structure and C-level employees.

A company went bankrupt because they fail to deliver on their obligations, people are calling the cops, yada yada. How is this a HN-worthy article?

It definitely looks better on the screenshots! I thought it was me, but I've noticed other people writing about this too. Maybe the design was not translated well to the code, some subtle things like proportions and distance between el

I've switched to Obsidian two years ago and I am 100% happy with it. All my notes and attachments are stored in iCloud, Obsidian works great on all Apple devices and even Windows. There is no browser integration AFAIK, but I might be w

Totally crazy. Zeal&Ardor is metal, the mental aerobics of the mods are very impressive. I guess like all mods - with few exceptions - they are on a power trip.
