Something may be off on your end. I’m on iPhone/Safari, and it’s white on black here. (Can always try reader mode, if you just want to read the content without worrying about fixing it.)

Glad I wasn’t the only one. But knowing the things that pop up on HN, something like remotely massaging someone via a receipt printer is totally believable. I’m actually hoping someone reads this and …

To me, when I think “abstract”, I think “no theme”. Games that aren’t abstract have a theme that helps make sense of the rules of the game. There are also games with themes that don’t really help ma…

The WF is not even 25 years old. It’s crazy to think it will exist another 100 years, let alone 1000. Even the US isn’t 1000 years old. Who’s to say it will even exist in a remotely recognizable form …

Same here. I recently learned it was an LLM thing, and I've been using them forever. Also relevant: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45226150 …

1. Parent included brakes, but I think brakes should be on the “ICE only” list. EVs maybe use brakes 5% of the time. Maybe less. (And I don’t buy corrosion from salt causing more wear than friction.) …

My 15TB DS1511+ from 2011 would like a word. I only recently replaced a failed HDD and power supply, but otherwise going mostly strong. It will stop responding to the network out of the blue on occasi…

I don’t, no. But my point isn’t so much about willingness to pay for such a treatment, but ability to pay for such a treatment. My understanding is that some treatments like this are sometimes not cov…

Of course, but that’s assuming: 1. There aren’t serious side effects that make it more of a tradeoff 2. The price isn’t on the order of 6-7 figures (or possibly less for some)

TIL: Ridley (one of the main alien villains, and sometimes a final boss) from the Nintendo video game franchise, Metroid (that originated in 1986), was named after Ridley Scott. https://en…

To be fair: 1. I get a lot more value out of (some) Reddit threads than I get out of most online journalism, including Ars Technica, so I’m never surprised to see really bad quality from journalism. 2…

I was waiting for someone to point this out. HN came through for me.

Can we put Pandora back in the box?

Why? VTI has been hitting ATH since July. Almost everything is performing well right now, which is why I don't think this is news, particularly.

Yeah, 100% to this too. My wife won't even charge our EV away from home due to the issues we've run into with the various apps. Not only are they all different, they sometimes just fail. And…

Not disagreeing re: the impact of tariffs. But our problems started before tariffs. If you look at the graph in the article, things started diverging around 2018. You can see all other countries takin…

I see these complaints on HN a lot, and maybe it’s anecdotal, but I just don’t see this in the real world these days. If someone shares a sheet with me, it’s for the intended purpose of sharing data a…

> lack of confidence in the stock market. Considering most stocks have been equally increasing/at ATH, I’m not sure that’s the reason.

Came here looking for the 13 reference. She (fortunately?) is the only reason I’ve heard of Huntington’s.

Within seconds of opening the article, I tried selecting text, and upon realizing that I couldn't, I chuckled, knowing that it had to be intentional.
