I wanted to build my own e-ink tablet as I prefer OSS. The issue that makes e-ink tablets not worth building? The expensive displays that cost between $150-$300 for 7-8 inch screens, excluding shipping.

It is disturbing how the moderators of HN are condoning the comments in this thread (the top comment by 'neonsunset' provides tools that enable DDoSing a foreign government website) that are encouraging cyber warfare against a nat

Perhaps Westerners view all non-western science as pseudoscience or made up, but it is a well-known fact in many Eastern cultures (and their medicinal practices) that the stomach is a primary source of disease (and not just depression, but

This is such an amazing technology for the many tech people who are having to deal with hand/finger/elbow issues after extensive usage for years on their keyboards. I was looking for this type of tech for at least 2 years and I am

I like this idea for the very simple fact that I now know its plausible to write blog content with a pen and paper and then some GPT-3 AI will scan those words and make it into digital text for me. Sparing my hands from using a keyboard! Br

Counter-intuitively, I wonder what gaming would be like if everyone ran the same cheats/mods? Would it be the same as "if everyone is rich, then nobody is" or would it devolve into such a state where cheating/modding get

Every few days, articles like these keep cropping up with click-bait headlines about preventing all types of diseases in old age. The headlines almost always never match up to the content or even the reality of trying to treat or prevent th

This must be a PR nightmare for Israel, which brings me to my related topic of Israel's other major weapon in its cyber arsenal. I think this falls under a type of disinformation. I don't know of any other state that has effective

I was hoping to see some link between labor and demand. Wouldn't more employed people or higher salaries translate to increased demand? By that inverse, if demand is decreasing, does that mean less employed people or stagnating/lo

I should have added that my comment implied as much to do with DDG as it does with cheap-VPN-provider-35 with a shell company in Belize. The original comment was in reference to DDG proudly making claims of not getting requests from .gov an

I will add add a disclaimer to this comment that it is tinfoil-hat and just speculation(bordering on conspiracy) but many of these "we are a privacy-first company" might actually just be honeypots and fronts for 3-letter agencies.

This article is poorly written. It says the bot was used by more than 30,000 people. Does this imply 30,000 people looking for jobs used his bot or that 30,000 recruiters used his bot to screen candidates or 30,000 job applications were sen

Firstly, it is sad to say that HN is becoming more negative like the rest of the internet. On the front page there are more articles devoted to the ever-evolving shit-show of American-focused news issues. There are far less links to things

> .com, .net, and .org are all owned by Verisign This does not seem accurate to me. The Wikipedia [1] page for .org says it is managed/controlled by the Public Interest Registry and not Verisign. I recall this because of the scummy

How do you integrate this tool into an existing blog? I like the idea of ActivityPub followers but shifting all the contents over from an existing static site sounds like a wasteful exercise

South Africa is a small economy relative to US, EU(block) or China and has large income disparity(small, very wealthy upper/middle class). $3.6B = ZAR51.17B (xe.com). That seems like a lot of savings for the small upper/middle cla

I really dislike Twitter content being shared on HN. There is not much information to get from 300 chars or less. Instead, check out this link: http://blog.almonit.eth.link/2020-05-21/Introduction_to_Dweb...
