I cannot list any of the bugs I have had with Windows off the top of my head, but I can with linux. Driver issues, Pulse audio randomly playing static, updates breaking my system, fractional scaling not working, I could go on.

These proposals were made directly because of legislation like GDPR. It's not as if Google got up one day and said "Let's make our job harder."

Now instead of 5 sites with identical recipes, what about 500? 5,000? 5,000,000? How can you even rank them in a meaningful way and does it matter to the end user?

There will be too much of a supply of information, especially when ai ramps up, that no one website will have unique value outside of local significance or if it was made by your mom or someone you like. I think it will be crazy to see what the web looks like 10 years from now. It could be vastly different.

When we look at a tree, it could very well be that the source of the tree is very much like the tree we experience, but it could also be wildly different. When we see a tree in a video game, we know there is no real source tree just like it, just ones and zeroes. I disagree that science fixes this problem. Tools are still just measuring the physical world. For example, if you used a tool to measure some aspect of the tree, you are still measuring the representation of the tree in this world. If I use the video game analogy again, my point is that you wouldn't be able to see true underlying 'source code' of the game tree by looking at it in the game.

I'm curious, would you purchase a membership to youtube if it included absolutely no tracking, sharing of first-party data, or advertising at all?

when there is no more desire to be quenched, when there are no jobs to do, when we have solved all disease, what do we do? Man has been defined so much by his suffering and toil, that when we take it away we are in an environment that we are not prepared for in any kind of sense.

There's also a difference between having access to and being able to 'comprehend' all previous works in a given genre for generating music, that a human simply won't have the ability to process and recall when creating their own music and the AI could surpass. Humans simply having access to information is different than using information.

The snow is not constant and usually intensifies if I’m under stress. But it’s not very noticeable, it’s like film grain is how I would describe it. It’s gotten less and less over the years but it’s still there. Doesn’t bother me though

The next few days I didn't know what to do. My body would just shake, I couldn't sleep and I stayed up until I passed out for an hour, and then my shaking would wake up myself up again. I was overwhelmed with dread and thought I had completely fucked my brain forever and all my potential was gone.

But I went to therapy, got better, and my life is completely normal now. I have HPPD and see visual snow, but that's about it.

This blog doesn't want to give platitudes like "it gets better" and I can see how they're not really helpful when you're in crisis mode. The one piece of advice that has helped me is the thinking that "I'm not the first one to ever go through this, and I won't be the last." No matter if you're fucked in the head, going bankrupt, getting divorced - whatever - you aren't alone and you can either find a solution or find acceptance.

but no. I really don't have to provide evidence that the sun is hot, that Washington D.C. is the capital of the United States, or that being fat is bad for you. I understand HN is for a technical audience, but in the nutritional and health field, this is an accepted fact.

I could link meta analyses about how strong the link between increased weight and CVD is as one example, but I don't think you're really looking to change your mind.

Instead I'll just make it as simple as possible. Increased weight = increased metabolic demand = more stress on the heart and other organs.

I had these issues and suggestions:

- Set min to dark mode, but it made no difference. Restarted to no avail.

- Set all ads to be blocked, still saw a lot of ads on reddit, youtube, others.

- Design wise, I think the app should default to having borders between tabs.

- There should be more white space at the top to drag the window around. The app opened maximized and when I went to drag it on windows I could only click the the URL bar because there is only a little bit of padding inbetween it and the top of the window.

- I have a large monitor and the when you click on the url bar when you have multiple tabs open, it expands to the full window width so the text you were looking at moves all the way to the left, very nitpicky I know, but I think this is not a great design choice and maybe the text should stay where it is when changing sites.

Let's say facebook runs an ad on its platform to my website with a url of site.com/fbad. Then I can see how many people clicked on the ad on facebook and how many people converted on that webpage. There are people on this site who will tell you, and FULLY believe that that is TOO much tracking and is morally wrong.
