Got it in one. Humans are creatures of habit. You (yes you, oh 10x HN reader) reading this may actually be hyperaware enough to analyse your weeks work and stuff it into 4 days, but I strongly suspect the vast majority of workers would coast the same amount (whatever that number may be) regardless of days worked.
You should be able to work around this by changing the "Homepage and new windows" setting from "Blank Page" to "Custom URL" and setting it to "about:newtab", and then change "New tabs" to "Blank page".

I have read and helped implement GDPR in my country. It's the greatest thing that happened to online privacy, finally a law that has teeth and can influence big tech. It empowers me as a citizen and makes me feel my data has value again.

I have high hopes digital markets act will be as good.
Fun fact.. when you have children, some of your soul is sucked out of each of you, and given to the child.

The child's soul, whole, grows... whilst your damaged soul whithers. Evidence of this can be seen by the zombie like appearance new parents have, still coping with this horrible loss.

As time passes, you become more accustomed to this loss, and it becomes like Stockholm syndrome. You eventually like it, embrace it, concoct wild fantasies about how great the experience is. It is your own mind defending you from the horror, and more importantly, you wish this same fate upon others.

Don't believe them. Don't trust them! Keep, cherish, protect your soul.

What’s the alternative? If Chrome takes over on iOS too then what? Let Google unilaterally decide the future of the web?

Personal information extraction for ad targeting purposes will be on by default and eventually be made very hard to turn off.

New features that’s good for the web but Google doesn’t like because it threatens their ad business or they just don’t like it because of “not invented here” will die in the crib - see JPEGXL; Apple is trying to push for it but if Chrome displaces Safari that hope will be completely extinguished.

Now we at least have a choice …
What is a middle game?

The biggest misconception game developers generaly have about games is they think they are content like movies/series amd music. That is that the average player plays hundreds of games, one after the other.

Games are successful or failed killer apps. Like any other software mind you. The average player spend 88% of his time / money playing a very few hits like Minecraft.

Which solves your middle-games paradox: those just don't sell anymore. In other words, if you'd make a Commander Keen today, you'd sell 3 copies to your grand-ma (yes grannies play games now).

There is always those who come to tell: I have hundreds of games in my Steam library. "Yes me too". Yes you do and on average you guys still spent 88% of your time / money on a handful of them. They are exceptions of course. There is a line that's somewhere but nowhere near "games are content"

I went all-in a couple of years ago, switching almost all of my computers from macOS to Linux (Fedora Workstation and Arch), and where I still have macOS, I use Firefox, not even having Chrome installed. Now I doubt it's worth it. But what else do we have these days? Safari? (Limited to just one OS.)

I remember these old-days of Linux with other browsers pre-installed. Like Konqueror (I see it's still in development), or others even more niche ones. Cannot even remember their names.

Actually you do, at least when planting on a large scale. A planting plough is pulled behind a tractor, the device opens a furrow into which seedlings are dropped at a regular interval by someone riding the plough or mechanically. The furrow is closed with the top of the seedling sticking out.

Hong Kong is more expensive than San Francisco. Is your claim that Hong Kong zoning prevents affordable housing? It doesn’t get much better across the bay in Shenzhen either (if you are buying rather than renting, as is true with most mainland cities).

My point is that, with few exceptions, housing is always expensive in places that are popular. If you want affordable housing, turn your city into Cleveland, don’t turn it into Hong Kong.

I don't think you understand GDPR as it is about protecting privacy. It is however true that a nice side-effect of GDPR is giving legislators the opportunity to rip into businesses that don't comply with it. 10/10, can't wait until the DMA and DSA gets kicked into gear too.

Are you saying that you liked how Facebook and Google could cross-site track every single (logged-in or not) European and use that for targeted ads as well as share it with the NSA?

Achar right? 'Pickle' is exactly what I'd (white British) call it, and vice versa not be surprised when it was what I was given.

Maybe you're thinking of American 'dill pickle' (where the pickle stands for 'with pickled cucumber') but that's at best just one type, and it's only 'American idea' (rather than 'western') that the preserved cucumber itself is to be termed 'a pickle'.

It is true that most non-Indian/inspired pickles I can think of are whole (or large pieces of) vegetables in vinegar and not a lot else, which looks different I suppose but it's the same preservation method. Nimbu achar 'lime pickle' especially is about as common as mango aam ki chutney in Indian restaurants/takeaways in the UK.

A more significant difference, if you insist, between Indian and 'western' pickle would be the presence of oil. But pickle is the right term, and achar is not a stranger to our plates.

Despite the awful article I'm going to give this a try. I work at an ayahuasca retreat and get to drink a couple times a week, but it's pretty rare for me to get clear visions with it and I wonder if this could help. I do find it interesting that speaking out loud is part of it; it reminds me of how the medicine songs (icaros) are used- which are often very literal instructions of what's going on in the shaman's visual/felt experience. I have considered looking more deeply into Vajrayana Buddhist practices like diety yoga (visualizing dieties in great detail with persistence, eventually visualizing oneself as the diety) to work on this, but haven't come across too many resources.

This is mostly true, but there is a case where you use your transfer pool.

Droplets have their own transfer allowance, independent of Spaces. Traffic from Droplets to Spaces does not count against your Spaces transfer allowance (because inbound bandwidth to Spaces is free), but does currently count against your Droplets’ outbound transfer allowance.

Look, they had me at Keanu Reeves. Still loved the game. It was pretty decent. I think maybe they overpromised before release, if you didn't expect nothing more than "oh cool Keanu Reeves is on this thing!" then you would have enjoyed it like I did.

I think gamers keep expecting groundbreaking games, but there's only so much "new" most games come up with. The really creative games are made by Nintendo I feel like, every other one is once in a blue moon from different studios.

> Ah, the "achaar". So wrongly translated as "pickle".

Why do you say that? I wrote a longer reply here to someone saying the same, but in brief my guess is that you're thinking of (US) 'dill pickle'?

Nimbu achar is called lime pickle in the UK. That doesn't seem strange and nobody's surprised at what they get, so why is it 'so wrongly translated'?
It turned out to be a nice little piece of fiction, thanks for posting!

From comments in this thread I learn that it is written in the style called creepypasta. Not entirely familiar with the culture, but it felt similar to some indie horror games, such as those Markiplier plays in his YT series "3 scary games".

Nice prototype, but it doesn't actually work does it?

Turns out that to transfer any significant torque (and therefore energy), you need either a larger gear, or a larger subtended angle, or a higher chain tension - and ideally all three.

Since this device has none of those, I can be pretty confident that even after hours of pedalling, you won't have a charged phone. In fact, the video even shows the chain jumping showing that the generator gear isn't turning.
Yes, the solution must be to redirect homeless elsewhere so they're no longer your problem, instead of actually helping people.

Plenty of locations that used to be BT phone boxes were replaced with pillars featuring WiFi and USB charging. Is this not pretty widespread?

This device seems a bit.. daft. Renting a Santander cycle costs 1.65 GBP. Add the high energy food required to supplement your diet after a 30 minute ride and this is looking closer to 3 or 4 quid for a phone charge, and that's before considering where the homeless person is going to securely stow their belongings while cycling. Luggage storage in Victoria is 5 GBP for 3 hours..

> It's basically all downsides pretty much, and the only upside is being able to work on your passion - which is what motivates people who get into those fields.

Yes!! I can totally relate to what you are saying. I got started because I was interested and I am still passionate about it. But there is only so much that I can do. It just doesn't make sense for me to continue for PhD because even with PhD there is no guarantee that I would be able to get somewhere as I am definitely not someone coming from those top20 universities.

So by definition I rule out the chances of being an average research engineer. That's one clarity! Thank you!

> Diving into it based on faith that your feelings about it will get better is gambling in a huge way.

But that is not what I'm saying, is it? I'm saying that having doubts before having kids is very common, and that they dissipate once you actually become a parent.

Having children is an adventure for which you can never be prepared. Every parent takes a leap of faith and does the best they can, regardless of how much or how little confidence they had. That's it.

I would be more concerned about the ability of somebody to raise a child if they didn't feel apprehensive, because that would suggest they underestimate how much effort it is going to take.
It happens often enough. I don’t want to give exact names, as that would possibly dox me, but 1) as an idealistic young person I worked for a time in the central office of an org where both ordinary staff and management admitted that they had long since lost interest in the mission, but the position was comfortable and required little actual work, and since the board consisted of some pretty acquiescing and clueless people, they were able to ensure regular pay increases. 2) One 501c3 I have been active in, dedicated to a certain hobby, is currently riven by scandal because the board hired a new director who, according to tax filings, gets a big salary for only a few hours of work a week, and this is only one of several business ventures she has going on, and the others look like outright grifts.

Police Investigate About 100 Suicides Linked to Canadian Man
Anecdotal example - I was talking with a (usually very reasonable) friend, and she was convinced Google (via Android) listens to her all the time (with a microphone) and suggests products based on her real life conversations with her friends[1]. What creeped me out was that it was not presented as a conspiracy theory but something completely mundane, almost a remark ("you know how they spy on everyone - like yesterday I was talking about Greece with some friends and today I get plane ticket ads - you know, the usual"). Not even a bit outraged. Crazy for me, but clearly people don't feel about this issue as strongly as we do.

Later her friends agreed that it happens for them too and didn't believe me when I suggested other possibilities.
