FWIW: the Care Credit Card is legit. Having one has been a boon to me a few times by helping me cover unexpected medical expenses with reasonable interest rates.

It’s not the managers that are pushing for return to office, they’re just the messengers for senior leadership who have spent millions buying real estate and want the return on investment.

I find myself thinking more and more frequently how nice it would be to go back to the carefree days of the early 90s. What a sad state of affairs that is.

> Improving people's ability to competitively argue for things they don't believe in seems a hilariously bad idea. I disagree with this so very much. High school debate was foundational for my adult ability to recognize that nu

All the recommendations for Kagi. I never imagined I would pay for search, but after using it for free the value proposition was abundantly clear.

Yeah, that seems like a reasonable take. FWIW I kind of feel like “no js” may be a pipe dream today. I see a lot of talk about it but very few sites actually do it; there just seems to be a lot of pressure to use the next big JS framework i

Yeah, thanks to Kagi I haven’t used google’s search in a long time, and I’m happier for it.

The very next item on the page is another huge graphic which says “unless you want it”.

I can’t seem to view the videos embedded in the article on iOS, which is disappointing because I really want to see that mosaic mode.

TIL that Opera was rewritten to be based on chromium. That makes me kind of sad. Not super sad, because I haven’t used Opera in a decade, but still a little sad.

The design of “passwords” on the Mac and iOS doesn’t make it seem like anything is a “safari” password. You save a password to the keychain in safari, and then you go to the “passwords” system preferences panel and you see those passwords.

No? Where did I say that? I just don’t blame people for bypassing that paywall.

Hot on the rails of multiple government agencies pushing hard to erode end-to-end encryption. Seems like things are going to get interesting.

Honestly the best part of troubleshooting is when I find out I was just being a massive dumbass the entire time. I go tell my team, friends, wife, etc, “I fixed it, I was just a dumbass, all I had to do was [thing]” and I revel in it becaus

There are laws against anti-consumer and anti-competitive practices, I’m not sure why you think we don’t have a right to purchase what we want without the market attempting to coerce us into buying from them exclusively. I don’t need to app

Then you didn’t read what I wrote? I don’t like anti-competitive, anti-consumer sales tactics. When that is all that is offered, I don’t blame people for finding ways around it. What if instead every pizza place said “you must pay for fiv

The problem with subscriptions is that you don’t have unlimited means, which means you can only afford a certain number of subscriptions. A subscription is always more than the cost of a single purchase, so by forcing you to subscribe the c

The pizza place doesn’t require you to sign up for a monthly pizza subscription to get a single slice.

> …on the other never ever pay for any of it. How do you know that the parent comment here doesn’t ever pay for journalism? For all you know they pay for literally every publisher out there except for this particular one. I pay for some

by tsuujin 3y ago
The problem with paying is that there are an unreasonable number of publications out there to subscribe to. It would cost an absolute fortune to support every journalist for every article out there. Given HN is a link aggregator you have to

I am a rather extreme introvert myself and also a people leader. The people who report to me often have no idea that I’m introverted because I am a strong communicator, and I genuinely enjoy talking to people. I _do_ find it to be a source

The article doesn’t say it, but the pronunciation is identical to Japanese, which I am fond of in general. In college Japanese class we were taught the phrase “ah, we soon get old” for a, i, u, e, and o respectively. I found it to be simple

Probably because your assertion doesn’t mesh with reality. You’re pretending that there is some imaginary standard about how websites must work, we’re saying our personal experiences do not match what you’re asserting as a universal truth.

Yeah, this site isn’t bad; the comment I was initially responding to was more a general commentary on a trend that admittedly doesn’t really apply here. It’d still be nice to get a summary “about” link but at least you can go right home.

Mobile workflow: 1. Click HN link 2. See announcement, want product details 3. Click on logo… goes to blog homepage 4. Can’t edit url in in-app browser, so click to open in safari 5. Click to open url bar 6. Figure out what the home address

Thanks for confirming that I’m not crazy. I click on a lot of these version announcements and I always feel like getting to the “what even is this” is surprisingly hard.

History doesn’t support the idea that we’re simply eating more calories today. Going as far back as the American civil war we have records of what people were eating and what their general BMI was, and there is no causal link demonstrating

I had a friend of the family killed by a drug cartel from Mexico. They had a relative in Mexico refuse to pay protection money (or some other scam, it’s not entirely clear) so the cartel crossed into the US and killed the entire family to s

I’m not missing your point, I’m saying that addiction/over-consumption is not the primary reason for the obesity epidemic, and I gave you a series of articles going into a very deep dive on the topic.
