The credit card companies really missed the boat here to become the standard for consumer to consumer payments. Of course, from their perspective, they know that people would not accept having to pay for this service so the companies won’t go near it.

I am reaching for “reader mode” in my browsers all the time as they cut through these design choices that don’t agree within my eyes

It really helps to focus in the content rather than the fluff.

It would have been a success if they just called it ipv5.

That’s not true. The true capture price of nuclear is much higher https://green-giraffe.com/publication/blog-post/what-capture...

What a great resource. On a related note, while I love the content here on hn, the message threading is far from optimal. I know there are many alternate interfaces, can anyone recommend the best alternative ux for hn?

To repeat what’s been said before, the only way the large AI vendors can get a return on their huge investment is to eat the entire economy ($20/month won’t cut it). All information worker jobs are at risk and the creative ones are not immune.

This article got me curious as I used Flickr years ago. Sadly couldn’t even move past the cookie banner at all. Too bad

Subscribers will not enable these companies to make their money back. The only way is for them to eat the economy itself

Is this just for fun or is there some underlying purpose to those type of attack?

Is it possible to have any certainty when answering that question?

Love the tuning tips about cutting out the highs and only the rhythm pickup

I would argue that they are as bad as each other. I have to repeat most voice commands to Siri and Alexa than getting it right first time. No experience with Google.

Yep. The key difference is that a gas power plant can be cut off completely at any time. For example if a trigger happy leader decided to cause military mayhem in an unpredictable region supplying a large proportion of the world’s gas. The sun, however, keeps on shining.

Super interesting but what does this mean for us mere mortals?

Exactly. Just another “study” finding a correlation without causation.

New comment by adrithmetiqa in "Wired headphone sales are exploding"

adrithmetiqa — Sat, 14 Mar 2026 07:10:26 +0000

Many pro wired comments here about quality which can be classed under the category “most people cannot tell the difference”. You simply cannot compare the considerably greater convenience of wireless to wired when on the go. Also, any decent wireless over the ear headset allows for wired use when out of battery. That’s hardly a game changer
