Voltaire's perspective[1] struck me as more compelling:

> To-day people complain of a surfeit: but it is not for readers to complain; the remedy is easy; nothing forces them to read. It is not any the more for authors to complain. Those who make the crowd must not cry that they are being crushed. Despite the enormous quantity of books, how few people read! and if one read profitably, one would see the deplorable follies to which the common people offer themselves as prey every day.

Manufacturers push the term "gray market" to imply that resold goods are somehow bad and people who sell them are participating in something like an illegal black market. Reselling equipment is a normal part of doing business. There's nothing gray about it.

There is no separate market for new products that have been bought from manufacturers and resold. It's just one market. We don't need to refer to something that doesn't exist, so we don't need a special term for it.

The term "gray market" is linguistic manipulation to benefit manufacturers at the expense of customers, society, and the environment. Let's stop using the term.

For products that have been used, we have a "second-hand market".

Tidal are now blocking IP's that has Tor Nodes running
Some time ago the Tidal music streaming service stopped working at my home. I wrote to their support but it took weeks to get a reply.
Initially they told me that my IP was on a blocking list (RBL) and this was the reason.
I got removed from that list (it was some irrelevant RBL nobody uses) but Tidal did still not work.

I eventually got one of their more tech savvy supporters (like that is a thing - NOT!) which told me that my IP was blocked because somebody was abusing it for a Tor Exit node. He even linked to a page that listed my IP as having a tor node (clearly stating that it was NOT an Exit Node).
I told them that the Tor Node was mine and left there intentionally to support the Tor Network + for my network tech research.

Their answer was that I could change my IP or use a VPN (or kill my Tor Node of course!) if I wanted to continue to use Tidal.

Neither of those options are possible for me so as I need to Tor node for work research, my IP is static and "rented" for 10 years to come. VPN is just not possible for every device in the house that would normally run Tidal.

I guess that Tidal just don't want to have customers anymore.

So what should Tidals Argument be for blocking IP's with a tor node? I mean, I will be able to get many IP addresses blocked simply by turning on the Tor Browser while using some network. It seems like a stupid decision made by people who do not know how Tor works.
I would give this comment 'Hacker-news Gold' if I could.

Yesterday I heard on the radio the local chief of police saying they would be present and ready to write fines to people who didn't follow the new restrictions on public night life. Like they were actually eager to do so!

The same is true for people not wearing face-diapers on public transport.

I guess that depends on the definition of "complete". Games back then tended to ship with whole features simply not working. The already mentioned Final Fantasy series comes to mind, I think Diablo 2 shipped with a Holy Fire Aura Skill that was supposed to deal periodic damage in a radius but simply didn't.
Games also had their fair share of bugs that nobody would really call "easter eggs", for example Elder Scrolls Daggerfall had the tendency to generate Dungeons that had no entrance/exit so once you got in you were stuck. Ocarina of time, a console release, had three different versions released to fix various crashes and possibly game breaking bugs (https://www.zeldaspeedruns.com/oot/generalknowledge/version-...).

I guess it mostly comes down to the fact that players just didn't notice a lot of things (the "blind" status effect in Final Fantasy 6 did nothing, but this is really hard to notice as the hit chance it affects is called a chance for a reason) because they didn't know how things were supposed to work or they just worked around bugs if possible because patches often weren't an option.

[Edit]: I'm not trying to argue that the current way of things is in any way better than the old, both have their fair share of pros and cons.
The points are so ludicrous that I'm hoping it's biting satire.

How come a party which doesn't have any significant representation in city administration for 40 years is responsible for its development??? Karachi's city administration has been receiving one of the largest funds than any other city in Pakistan.

Whatever the intent of Goodreads initially, once Amazon bought it, it became a subtle funnel to drive sales of books, ideally through Amazon. While there are options there for libraries and many other booksellers, no one should believe for a minute that Bezos is interested in helping Goodreads be a contemplative site that fosters multiple readings of a small number of deeper reads.

The reviews can be helpful, but “tracking” ones books (or simple exercise, etc) is just a Silicon Valley middleman insertion into our otherwise simple lives so they can profit... somehow.

Many people at struggle to read books, probably because of smartphones and “internet reading”, but the reality is that this article is spot-on about our modern curse of information overload which gets combined with anxiety. We evolved the internet from our prior librarian mentality.

And while it’s perfectly fine to have libraries, book stores, catalogues of information, and encyclopedias, this article is correct that our personal lives could be improved by removing our click-happy ways from not only our web surfing habits, but from some of our book reading habits.

Personally, being an avid reader, I found it a relief to delete my Goodreads account some time ago. I also got rid of a number of books on hand, dwindling down to only 12, not counting some reference books.

I initially exported my “to read” Goodreads shelf into a spreadsheet, but eventually deleted it (and the 300+ books I had on the list). Not because it was unlikely I would ever read through them all, but because I also had come to some similar conclusions as the author of this article.

Yes, demand response will play a huge role in the grids of the future. But when you say "current versions", which current operating nuclear plant achieves this ramp speed?

Also, it means you have to run your reactors regularly at below 100%, so you still can react on additional demand, which increases further the cost of a very expensive technology.
I hope nobody buys that. Sylt should go down, nothing more to say on that.

Being a minimalist is an expensive lifestyle, you'll need to have some money to make the switch to that. Also, you'll need to buy the best of the class as those are often the devices which fulfill most tasks at once, so you can be a real minimalist.

The only reason the want to use the Apple hardware is because Apple makes it and comes with Apple software and Apple roadmaps.

If being more open magically offered the same quality all kind of third party open platforms would have flourished.

But even in the semi-closed Android you have 95% of mobile malware according to surveys, devices abandoned without updates after 1-2 releases, tons of crap trojan apps, widespread spyware, and so on...

A third party app store can be fine at first. "You can chose whether to use it or not" after all.

Then some major software only comes for that store, and now you don't have either a unified store, or a way not to use 2 stores (since you need the software).

Then each major vendor (Google, Adobe, Amazon, etc) make their own app stores on the platform. Because, why not?

Oh, and Facebook can demand you get their app from their store, where it comes with all kinds of private API abuse and surveillance (some of this might be solvable with stronger sandboxing, if it's not deemed "anti-competitive" itself).

Then there are all kinds of minor stores, luring your less tech savvy parents, siblings, etc, with BS offers, more malware, pirated versions of software, etc.

Oh, and there are "free" stores, you can just install, all kinds of shady stuff that ocassionally roots your iPhone with 0-days and is not revocable.

Suddenly app developers don't feel so good about this
ability to have multiple stores. They mainly wanted lower Apple rates, but now they have to ship to different stores, track different vendor rules, and so on. And if they stick to a store or two, they're less discoverable. Now you have meta-services that ship your app to many stores and handle the hassle. But they can not do much for the free stores that give pirated copies of your app, or full title+branding+UI rip-offs of your app by small e.g. Chinese devs.

And if one of the big app stores gets popular, they now have control over the platform too. Apple wants to move forward with an API change? Not so fast, the big app store doesn't agree (similar to how Apple was beholden to the goodwill of Microsoft and Adobe back in the day).

I'm sorry if you find this tasteless and I'll expand a bit more in case there is misunderstanding. My point is that too much power in the hands of anyone is a bad idea that should be opposed. Doesn't matter if it's a country, a political party, a company the size of a country or simply a person with huge funds. Not opposing such behavior amounts to supporting them. I don't like the way Epic does it... but I respect that they do it somehow against their best interest.
I think you're ignoring the complex dynamics that cause and compound poverty and to which a minimalist lifestyle is anything but an answer.

Consider low education levels, unemployment, physical and mental health disabilities, having to to take care of live-in dependent family members, being a divorced parent with children straining your financial capabilities and so on and so on.

A minimalist lifestyle is a conscious choice one makes, pursuing the idea that living with less "stuff" will help attain happiness. It is assumed that other important basic conditions - health, financial situation, education, access to employment,... - are already fulfilled as well in order to create the freedom to attain that goal.

Minimalism as a golden hammer to dig yourself out of poverty is a proposition that doesn't even remotely begin to address the underlying causes of poverty.

That broken microwave, for instance, might just work well enough to heat up frozen meals. If your household budget mostly goes to e.g. medical bills, rent, paying off student debt, childcare,... you'll hold on to that microwave for dear life.

Hello fellow garage-worker!
When I bought my iPhone I knew that I could only use the AppStore. I actually bought the iPhone because of the AppStore, the strict rules Apple has for developers and I prefer that no side-loading can occur.

If you or any consumer feels lied to, misled or falsely advertised to, they should return their device to Apple.

If enough people choose non-Apple products then Apple might change its position. Until then, buy a different brand.
AMD should realize they are tarnishing their own brand reputation with the inclusion of the PSP and the recent CPU lockdown.

Even though it's a server CPU that's affected by the lockdown, stories like this are definitely not well received by the enthusiast and gamer communities and draw attention to such anti-features like the PSP. Knowing that there's a special processor inside the CPU specifically designed to prevent you from unlocking cores, etc. would NOT be good PR for AMD at all. I am using a Ryzen system right now and I regret buying it, I wish I went with Intel instead. At least the management engine has been cracked, unlike AMD's AFAIK.

It's about time we looked into a legal response to this behavior, just as with John Deere farm equipment, it will likely not stop unless fines are imposed or some kind of consumer boycott occurs.

Regarding the CPU lockdown, even Intel wouldn't do such a thing. Surely isn't it anti-competitive to lock the CPU to a specific system in this way? What would the EU think about this regarding e-waste and recycling? And I believe in Australia the ACCC would crack down very hard on such shenanigans?

> I find it unfair that I'm expected to work longer hours for the same compensation/work profile.

When you say "longer hours" do you mean "longer hours than I worked before COVID" or "the same amount of hours, but longer than parents will be working during COVID"?

If you mean the former, then you need a better employer, because agreed, you should not be required or expected to increase your work hours due to COVID, for any reason, and certainly not to pick up the slack caused by parents losing productivity.

If you mean the latter, then this just sounds like entitled whining. Your life has not changed because parents get more flexibility. It's exactly the same as it was before.

Parents don't get to stop taking care of their kids. I know quite a few working parents, and I guarantee you that they don't want to take time away from work for child care right now. But they have no choice. You are incredibly lucky that you aren't a parent right now; take that blessing as your "subsidy" and stop complaining about things that don't actually affect you.

This seems to me like a noisy proxy to simply not doing unimportant things, relying on hindsight instead of judgement to identify them. I guess the technique could work but I prefer actively trying to identify things that might look important but really aren't. In addition I'm not too fond of "communicating" by lack of communication or intentional delays - if I think someone can figure out something on their own I might say "Listen, I'm short on time right now, but I think it's not too hard - try searching for XYZ". Similarly for other issues mentioned in the article such as employee initiative. Again, this technique might work here, but I feel that there must be a better way to encourage initiative than ghosting them.

Many years ago I briefly had a thought experiment about converting a gasoline/oxygen combustion engine into a sodium/water combustion engine. Solid fuel mixing concerns aren’t the primary issue. The primary issue is the energy density is just so danged low compared to gasoline. However, compared to electric batteries, sodium is far more energy dense.

Eh, I think there are truly classic games from all genres from the 90s that are still relevant and played today. RTS games like StarCraft and Red Alert still have large followings. On the FPS side there’s the original Counter-Strike (well, “1.6” at least), Doom, Quake, and even stuff like Starsiege: Tribes which I’d say are still relevant and hugely influential. I have played lots of these games in recent years. I enjoy the relative simplicity of them compared to most modern day counterparts.
