My one consolation is that this might eventually drive away more users. Facebook is ripe for a market disruption.

The US is falling irreparably behind. I suspect I won't see a recovery in my lifetime anymore.

My guess is most readers of Hacker News are going to be very aware of all myriad of ways that they are being tracked on their devices. That being said, this is a pretty good "satirical" piece. Satirical in quotes because really is

One of the "yea no kidding" outcomes of science, that is still neat to have quantified in some way.

That's great news, hopefully it doesn't get reversed again in a few days. What an absolute clown show of a government. If we can claw our way out of this fascism there needs to be a real reckoning. Truth and goodness can not flour

One thing we've done at our company is limit the interviews to a max of 3 times. 1. Initial (phone or in-person). 2. In-person longer interview with some "can you solve problems" questions 3. Final interview to make sure of c

Duolingo is at best a fancy substitute for flashcards. It really fails at language acquisition, but might help a little in word memory.

These are good insights for small-SaaS. I especially like not using intrusive analytics - they are simply unnecessary and unhelpful. With a small SaaS business you will hear from your users, a they will tell you their pain points. Trackin

Boycotting large American corps is the right thing to do here. I would say though, support your local businesses as much as possible, and while that likely will buoy some seedy someone down the supply chain... well as they say, there's

And what if they don't? Without hard consequences issued by the judge - consequences that actually take place, this will be another big step toward fascism. The guard rails are failing.

Showing no response towards these tariffs will not be rewarded. It's going to be interpreted as a sign of weakness. Australia is making a bad bet here.

The Democrats absolutely need to shake off their milquetoast leadership and get some people in willing to fight the good fight.

It seems like the negative effects are already manifesting, while the positive ones lag far behind.

Aside from any other reasons this is happening, I personally like a slower release schedule for major releases. I don't think speed running updates which often enough breaks compatibility and forces constant vigilance for plugin writer

We've known for a while that many if not most scientific journals are not great at peer reviews. A lot of junk gets through. Adding AI might be a good first step to catch major errors, but I suspect that what we really need is more rig

This isn't jaded, this is a realistic conclusion to draw based on everything we have witnessed and are experiencing. This is almost certainly happening.

So is the idea here, that you block access to the YouTube website directly, but allow watching through approved channels on https://maekitsafe.com ? If so, I'd like to see some detailed instructions for users on how they can

Agreed. About 12 years ago, when I was starting up a company, I went through a few different interviews with VCs. In addition to being severely unimpressed with them, it just didn't seem worth the effort. The amount of money they were

This does indeed sound Kafkaesque. I haven't had to go through an interview process in many years now, and I'm not looking forward to it if I have to in the future. It does seem like the entire tech space has been invaded by MBAs

Treating the symptoms is easier and cheaper. And let's be real, the money would rather treat symptoms than the cause. Convincing monied interests to stop advertising is not a realistic thing. This would have to be done through legisl

I love traveling, but rarely alone, and always with a purpose. I find aimless traveling just for the sake of saying I've been somewhere more exhausting than exhilarating. If I'm going to the Netherlands it's to visit some anc
