I have been using a safety razor for over a decade after buying some awful 7 blade nonsense from Wilinson that really hurt my face. Ever since the Mach 3 they seem to have been getting worse and more expensive and enough was enough. At the time I bought some trial blades from different companies for £10, they lasted a few years and I was fine with either the Gilette or Wilkinson Sword blades. I bought a stack of blades from Wilkinson Sword direct which I will be using for another 30 years, they cost £20 total.

It does take longer to shave with a safety razor since you need two or three passes but its a better shave with a lot less pain afterwards and its an insane amount cheaper.

Someone taking advantage of all this excitement to get people to download malware sounds like a very reasonable fear, especially if the software is not coming from a known and reputable person/business.

No one's saying you can't release closed source software - but of course other people are free to be afraid of running it as well.

You are looking at code like a production line. It's a semantic construction.

Which makes absolute sense. Gorbachev is held in such high regard in the West, rightly so IMHO, that it is easy to ignore and forget the other points of view.
I see, thanks! I didn't realize that as I thought I want to keep aesthetic scoring enabled since Stable Diffusion was trained on LAION-Aesthetics.

> In particular, there is some brand that was praised for consumer friendly practices here on HN that joined the dark side recently too; Brother iirc.

What did Brother do to join the "dark side"? I and lots of other folks love our Brother laser printers. I haven't heard of them doing anything evil...

I've worked at multiple startups sub 50 to >1000 (unicorn status) and have founded and sold my own company. I've also worked at a few of the FAANGs. This is common advice, especially among VCs since it's one of the key benefits used to pitch prospective employees on giving up that fat FAANG salary, but in my personal experience, it's not so cut and dry.

Working in a startup will brand you as a startup person and help you meet VCs which may make it easier to raise. It'll also show you the problems that that particular startup faces and give you n=1 degree of pattern matching. On the flip side, something like YC can give you the same benefit or just shipping a for-profit side project on the side. Additionally, given how poorly run most startups are today, I'd posit that you're actually in more danger of learning the wrong lessons than the right lessons by joining a startup. At the end of the day, the truth is likely to be Peter Thiel's observation that joining the right, highly successful, high growth startup as a very early employee is a great way to learn exactly 1 method of starting a successful company--the way that company did it. But if the startup you join isn't that rocketship, you've only learned how to (or how not to) achieve that particular path of failure or mediocrity.

Not particularly great advice though, because then the challenge becomes identify those startups. And if you could do that reliably, I'd suggest you switch careers into VC instead :)
You can, but people aren't going to bother, when it's three levels deep of on-screen menus, accessed with tiny buttons, mounted in an awkward place, labeled with cryptic icons. Much more cumbersome user experience than turning a single dial on a CRT.

I recently got SmartCard HSM (also available as Nitrokey HSM 1 and 2 I think), but didn't get around to setting it up yet. For personal use it does seem like an overkill, when FIDO2 security keys are much more convenient.
That is something they often do. I recall one of the times I bought a HP with document feeder and scanner that it was rated one of the most economic in terms of its cleaning. Some of them consume insane amounts of ink just cleaning themselves on a daily basis or on start whereas other models from HP are rated some of the best in the inkjet industry for this and use very little.

I also have laser printer. It’s ancient low budget color(!) Dell with genuine cartridges. Yes, they were expensive, but now the price is dropping. And I never had any quality issues with genuine cartridges on this device. Before I toyed with all the cheap ink jets and drying nozzles. Extremely bad experience.

Technically, courts can still force one to send crypto back. If I steal $1000 (cash) from someone, the courts don't tell the other party, "well, it's cash, so tough luck". They, instead, will order me to give back the $1000 (possibly plus damages), and, if I refuse, hold me in contempt. The same can be done here; They can force Manivel to send the $10.5M back with the threat of jail time. Which is exactly what happened:

Crypto doesn't change reversibility because it's not above the law; it just makes it a lot harder. I will admit that I'm quibbling over semantics, though.

Really, crypto is like stuffing cash into a safe (your "wallet"). The wallet is just so secure that no locksmith can help you should you lose your (private) key. If I'm fleeced out of some money by a crypto scam, I have almost no hope of getting it back unless I know who the scammer is; Just like if I were to be mugged out the same amount of cash.

What's the backhaul for those ships though? I thought point to point transmission wasn't available yet and therefore you needed to be relatively close to the backhaul point.
They're reasonably priced if you consider that toner doesn't dry up like ink does.

If you only need to print a few times per year, it's far cheaper to buy a laser w/ toner. With inkjet, you'll have to buy (and wait for) new ink cartridges because they dry out in less than a year.

If you need to print a lot of color materials frequently and don't mind the quality, then ink jet is a better deal.
Better not update systemd unless you want get fried :)
>> he would go to Best Buy, get talked up by a salesperson about a nice new printer, and buy it.

In a past life I worked at Best Buy, and the standard printer sales tactics were nuts. If a customer wanted to buy a printer, you were supposed to sell them:

2 packs of color ink (remind the customer that the included cartridges are only half-full)
2 packs of black ink
4 reams of regular paper
2 packages of photo paper
GOLD printer cable

Show HN: Welcome to YTPodcast v2
Show HN: merely.xyz/waves – online waveform generator
I’d like to share my recent project, which is a waveform generator that resembles a spirograph: https://merely.xyz/waves .

This might be especially interesting for fans of synthesizers (you can export the sounds/waveforms!), math, but also for anyone who enjoys pretty shapes.

Here is a quick video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCjCaQWOCE4 .

The app works online and should work on both desktop and mobile devices. It’s still in early stages and it could use more features (or bug fixes...). If people find this useful, I'd like to continue working on it.

I’ve recently added frequency modulation, which was exciting and a bit mind bending; it opens new territories, both sonically and visually. Announcement plus demo: https://twitter.com/MerelySounds/status/1564698369632632832 .

Thanks for checking this out, hope you enjoyed it. If you have any feedback, questions or a feature request, I’d love to hear it.
"Postscript" and "printer control language". They're standardized printer input formats.
Welcome to the web of 2004. It was a magical place full of uncached PHP applications, raw exposed MySQL servers, and nary an SSL cert in sight.
The main reason for me is that 90% of them ride on or very near the lane/shoulder divider, putting their handlebars firmly in the vehicle lane.

There's a fair bit of anxiety running the mental calculation of how much margin is between my left side and oncoming traffic, and my right side and those handlebars, at 60mph. Is this the day I die in a head-on collision because this asshole can't be bothered to utilize the other SIX FEET of the shoulder?

Otherwise I don't mind them at all. It's just the entitled attitude of "I'm going to endanger us both by riding as close to you as possible, and if you clip me, it's your fault, because the law is on my side".

The shoulder is typically 6-7 feet wide. It's paved just as well as the rest of the road (better, in fact, as it tends to be worn down less). There is absolutely NO reason for cyclists to ride on its edge rather than its center, other than ego and entitlement.

Some of the companies are trying to move to much more streamlined initial setups and propriety parts to bring more reliable printing but at least for now the amount of open repairable printers is more than sufficient and popular.
I have used the network plenty of times during the last 20 years.

Some routes that take me 30 minutes with the car, go up for 1h 30m or even 2h if I am unlucky, due to the amount of times I have to change public transport and waiting between connections.
Possibly, when a market or a business isn't growing, it's dying, so they make shorter term decisions that ignore conseqeunces and externalities the managers don't believe they will be around for.

Detecting scammy behaviour could be a leading indicator of an inflection point in a market or company where its growth phase is behind it. Printer companies are responding to paperlessness by hollowing out the goodwill of their customers, because there is no longer any long term value in it.

Open Source Ecology is currently on its 7th generation prototype of open source tractor:

https://www.opensourceecology.org/portfolio/tractor/

"LifeTrac is a low-cost, multipurpose open source tractor. It serves as a workhorse backbone for many of GVCS technologies. We are currently on the 7th prototype – see LifeTrac Genealogy.

The highlight of our design is that it is a modular design that allows for a high degree of modification and flexibility – such as scalable frames, interchangeable power units, quick connect wheel drive, and plug-and-play hydraulic power that allows for a driver and remote."
I assume that’s what crypto.com’s bank did (shrug), and that’s why crypto.com have to sue to get their money back.

I don’t see any irony about the bank’s behavior here. In this specific case, the bank appears to be acting consistently.
Whatever wrongs you may think of the current capitalist / slavery-like conditions exist for the lower class now, they are not nearly as bad as the hypothetical society that relies on large amounts of labor of low wage immigrants who don't have UBI while everyone else does.

It's arguably the most regressive fiscal system one can imagine. A class of people who must earn an entire cost of living paycheck to net zero with their non-working, unskilled citizen equivalents.

The crazy part of the story for me is that it apparently took crypto.com five months to notice that they sent her $10.5 million instead of the expected $100 refund! My god how could there be so little guardrails in place to not notice that immediately?
The ultimate problem is 'shareholder value' and the over-financialization of everything. Of course in a capitalist market economy you need to make profit.

But it should not be the only thing; Society requires goods and services for people, and incentives should be aligned to society's goals, not finance's goals.
It might have more to do with imagination, suggestibility, or whatever makes people get immersed in fiction.

That's an interesting idea, but also gives me the creeps. Amazon's proprietary software controlling a free-roaming camera that can move about nearly my entire house.
Yeah, if you can find an HP LaserJet III - V, chances are, it's still printing just fine. Worst thing that ever went wrong in any of those things is the fuser. I worked on Color LaserJets too and everything was replaceable/pluggable. They were extremely rugged.
I understand the point CF is trying to make; however, I still have a hard time trying to ignore many of the content that is being protected by CF.

With that being said; I have seen cases where the T&S team flagged legitimate sites by mistake so... I get why CF wants to be careful with any action they decide making on this regard.
Wrong. They ARE using regular consumer DJI drones.

And they are using aftermarket parts that you can order off Amazon for ~$10.

You can lie all you want as long as it doesn't impact others; that's why we have things like slander and libel. If you want to say your favorite color is blue when in fact it's red, I'd support you every day of the week. If you want to force me to say you're blond when in fact you're a redhead, then I would expect a civilized society to protect my freedom to not repeat your lie. Similarly I would expect a civilized society to protect you from me if I start saying something negative about you that actually impacts you negatively.
There could be alien tech hidden in their left nostril. Surgery is in order.
The brother printer (HL-L2350DW) I have auto-detects when the toner is "low" and refuses to print. It does this even though I haven't noticed any degradation in printing quality and would prefer to continue printing with the old cartridge even if it results in a worse print. I find this kind of infuriating actually. Being able to continue using a cartridge as it gets low was always one the features I loved about laser printers. I wouldn't have bought this printer had I known and I don't recommend it (or Brother) to new buyers.
I still can't wrap my head around how people absolutely ignore kids' rights to privacy putting their photos/videos without their consent.

They can do it for new things, but not for traditional HTML. A p tag is a p tag, and a table is a table. The trick is to use only things that everyone already supports, and enhance on top of them.

I personally use test with over 50 different browsers, most of which are quite usable.

The web is now big enough that I can build my own little nooks and use the sites I like while avoiding others.

It's so freeing to realize that anytime a site gives me a newsletter modal, or an ad, or a cookie consent, I can just close it and move on.
I naively assumed from the headline that the author would complain about users blocking cookies. I was very pleasantly surprised to see a post written by someone who appreciates that some users will want to do this and is actively working to support delivering them a useful content experience!
Just reading the headline, I said to myself “I bet it’s Avi Loeb.”
This is not the first article about this I see. But as with the first one, I still don't quite understand what makes Loeb think that those objects could have been made by alien intelligence instead of being simple rock fragments.

Does someone have a better clue on that?
All industries are scummy if you dig in to them. Capitalism is unchecked and people have been trained not to say anything negative for fear of being ostracized.

> Plenty of people have great motives, few have the means to execute on them.

Sure. Not plenty, but still a lot of people have the means, and few of them choose to execute. Larse Ingebrigsten was a CTO of startup that got acquired and now maintains GNU Emacs. Bram Moolenaar has had consistent job since forever (not sure what % of paid time is dedicated to Vim maintenance). Richard Stallman quit and made his first money selling Emacs tapes. Some open source devs rely on consulting work. Some (Like Drew DeVault) have actual sustainable business model that are not donations (and still give away their services when it makes sense). I do not know of gorhill, but my first guess would be that he has a stable job that pays well enough and doesn't encroach on his private life and hobbies, which I believe uBO is one of.

Oh, and to add to it, it becomes incredibly easier if you find likeminded people to join in. Linus Torvalds is able to take weeks off because GKH is more than capable to handle the work in his absence. Andreas Kling has Linus Groh as co-maintainer to review PRs even considering ginormous scope of SerenityOS. As with everything, more capable minds share the load.

On top of that, uBlock Origin is still just an engine. A large bulk of work (as admitted on uBO README.md) is done in the lists like fanboy's. They are also largely contributor driven (and sometimes donations).
And from anecdotal personal evidence I can tell you that my Post COVID syndromes get worse every day, even if I never had COVID.
I am a NordVPN subscriber. I have found some 'location' issues while using their software. Using something like iplocation.net will show the correct location. However, one of my clients uses search.arin.net as part of their security, which then flags the location as 'out of country'. This is because arin uses the whois location instead of the physical location. In this case, it came back as Panama instead of USA. The client had to baseline my connection to avoid it continually raising that error. Connecting through my dedicated IP address always does that. Connecting through another IP address might or might not.
I loved it.

I have some comments to make.

On hacker News feed you link the external link, however on Reddit feed you link the comments link.

I think the approach in this case could be consistent. Eg: Always link the external link, but provide a supplementary link to access the comments (when available). For example, the comments/discussion link could be an icon, something along this:

https://imgur.com/a/zuXeT8k

In reddit case, same thing. Link the external link and add a secondary link to access the discussion thread.
