As a 47-year-old man with no kids, I have to admit I'm looking forward to the possibility of having a robot help take care of me in my old age.

I remember around 1999 when I used to work for a big ISP and I ran a simple perl script that would "nslookup" all combination of 3 letters domains. It generated a huge list of available domains, but none that called my attention because all the good ones (not just random letters) seemed to be already registered. I would never thought that all those random 3 letter domains would sell for so much money many years later! :-)

I think it means without "Google Apps" installed (gmail, play, maps, etc, etc).

Really nice video! The person's hand with 2 thumbs at 0:47 can really tell it was created using Midjourney. It usually does fingers very wrong! lol

I don't understand why all of these replies from the big companies come with something like "we are not able to revert this decision" somewhere in the text. It shows such an arrogance!

Around 1993 playing Dune 2 was all I wanted to do with my life as a young teenager. I really loved this game and played over and over..... wow.... I really miss those days! :-) Sometimes I watch a recorded gameplay on YouTube just for fun... and I still think the intro and the soundtrack is amazing to this day! I loved reading about how this game came together!

Hello! I've recently discovered about this guy named Dr. Andrew Huberman. He is "a neuroscientist and tenured professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine". I've found that his videos super helped me with my lack of motivation issues. He has videos about every possible topic which I believe should help anyone trying to get better.

Cloudflare seems to have decided to block "www.youtube.com" from it's adult DNS filter today.

DNS 1.1.1.1 or 1.1.1.2 works, but 1.1.1.3 resolves to 0.0.0.0.

This seems to have changed around 18:00 GMT today... I wonder why!

henpa — Mon, 15 Aug 2022 19:02:11 +0000

I have the same setup since forever but I do occasionally find one of the custom emails being used as SPAM (when this happens, I either delete it or replace with a new one). So it's very clear to me that those companies in specific either sold or had it's data stolen somehow.

New comment by henpa in "Ask HN: Does anyone else miss TouchID?"

henpa — Mon, 21 Feb 2022 16:43:56 +0000

Yup! I really miss TouchID. I upgraded an old iPhone 6 to iPhone 12 mini last year, but I find FaceID sometimes a little annoying to use (with and without covid mask, but specially with it). Many times I find myself turning the screen off and on just so it can get a new GO on trying to look at my face and unlocking the phone. And many times I end up typing my 6 digit pin.

I can't tell which one is more "secure" though, but I found TouchID really convenient.

I guess it's because Rust is a "safe programming language" and the world needs that.

I'm no expert and I've visited Germany only a couple of times (again, only Berlin and Hamburg), but don't they have like an awesome public transportation system? Uber is great, alright, but when subway/train/buses work so good, I don't think Uber is all that necessary.

Since I've worked with linux email servers (sendmail, qmail, postfix, exim, etc) practically my whole profissional life (since around 1997, but used BBS since 91 - I'm 41 now), this story really amused me and got my attention! I love this kind of email debugging! LOL

New comment by henpa in "Hoʻoponopono, Hawaii’s trendy word that’s misunderstood"

henpa — Tue, 18 Sep 2018 21:05:00 +0000

I practice self-identify throught ho'oponopono (sith) for almost 3 yeas now. This is an "updated version" of traditional ho'oponopono created by Morrnah Simeona, and it became popular with Dr. Hew Len with the help of Joe Vitale (a popular self-help book writer featured in "The Secret" movie). In essence, you take 100% responsibility for all problems that you experience. By taking responsibility, we can become free of them. All problems are nothing but memories stored in our subconscious. With ho'oponopono, we appeal to the divinity (god/universe) to transmute those stored memories into void, and then void becomes filled with love.

So if you have a problem with someone, by taking 100% responsibility, and by doing the cleaning processes, you and that person becomes "free".

I've studied a lot about modern ho'oponopono. I can see resemblances with other books and philosophies such as Eckhart Tolle's Power of Now books, A Course in Miracles, etc.
