As a web designer, I had to compare it to the Tesla truck page:

Was not disappointed. The Volvo page is very Volvo and the Tesla page is very Tesla.

Imagine they said that investing money is a bad idea. And their argument is that people who tried had less money to spend in the short term.

Then I come and say "Duh! That is the point of investing.".

Now you point out all the great stuff one could buy in the short term.

Yes. That is the point of investing. You trade a negative effect in the short term for a positive effect in the long term. Nobody ever said it is a free lunch.

Man is this article weak and bloated.

It needs pages and pages to make two points:

1: Going for herd immunity has caused more infections and deaths in countries that tried.

2: We are not sure if once infected people will stay immune.

The first point is completely nonsensical. Of course more people are infected when you allow more people to be infected. That idea of this approach is that you come out ahead in the long run.

The second is a valid point.

Would love to see charts of mortality over the years for other countries. If you guys know such, please post!

Here is one for Germany:

https://www.destatis.de/DE/Themen/Querschnitt/Corona/Gesells...

A content writer makes a WordPress site about their offerings.

Posts the link to Hacker News with the title "Launched My First Startup".

Hits the front page.

Fabulous.

Especially since the English on that site is on the brink of nonsense. Is it is machine-translated from another language?

Anyhow. I am flagging this. I am not sure how it got on the frontpage. But that it did is a sign that something is wrong here.

That is why I said "on gmail.com" which is Googles web interface. I don't use a local mail software.

I can reproduce it on gmail.com

Google seems to hide this via Javascript.

To reproduce in Chromium:

Enable dev tools, enable "Preserve log", go to settings and enable "Auto-open DevTools for popups".

Then click on a link in a mail.

Now you can see under the Network tab, that the new window did not go to the link you clicked but to a Google redirect url.

I guess Google outputs a normal link in the html but then intercepts the click and sends you to their tracking url.

As nobody seems to be able to reproduce it for IMAP, I guess that either A) the author is in an a/b test group that got targeted with the tracking links or B) he uses an email client that uses some other protocol or C) He is outright lying or D) Something else.

My money is on B. The author says on Twitter he uses mail.app on a Mac. I would not be surprised if the developer of a hip shiny Mac app happily used the newest shiny API from Google.

Can someone with a Mac and that app reproduce it?

Additionally, turning (startDate, endDate) into a set of dates will make the code more complex in some places. Before:

    SELECT event FROM events WHERE endDate<"2021"

After:

    Whatever additional complexity you
    add to your codebase to query end
    dates.

Cool. But he seems to only have posted 13 times and none is "begging for help". Am I missing something?

He was on Hacker News? What was his handle?

Wouldn't this line in your job accomplish that?

    if: "! contains(github.event.head_commit.message, '[skip ci]')"

Not only because of the wording. Collections are prone to copyright. So scraping a bunch of receipes and republishing it would violate the copyright holder of that collection of receipes.

Also - what about the images? Where are they from? It looks like they are scraped too.

None of the terminal ones seem to be in the Debian repos.

I really like to use IRC on the terminal via Irssi.

Can Irssi be used to access this matrix thing?

If not, is there some nice matrix command line client in the Debian repos?

Or maybe someone could just make an IRC server which is a bridge to matrix?

I would think re-publishing that data violates the copyright of the original publishers.

It seems you create the data by scraping other websites?

That you compile it yourself does not make it more trusted.

Sounds good. Which keyboard do you use? And which Linux distro?

I want Linux from a trusted source. So one of the big distros. Preferably Debian. As far as I know, those do not support the Surface.

Blacklist? How did it get the password to your router in the first place?

Why still buy a "TV"? Why not just a monitor and attach some device to it that receives the TV signal and lets you switch channels etc?

Will this thing run Linux and can the keyboard be attached via a cable?

I am thinking about getting a tablet that can run Linux and an external keyboard. Then I can put the tablet on something and use it like a monitor. And the keyboard in front of it. What does the HN crowd think about this approach?

Would I be able to put Mobian on the phone in the first place? How would I do that? Is there a button combination or something that tells android phones to boot from an external media?

As I said, for me it is not about the experience. I just want to run Linux on my phone and be part of the journey. If I have a working terminal, that would already be cool.

The thing with the PinePhone is that it is not very easy to buy. Say I get used to the PinePhone as my daily driver for having a terminal in my pocket. And then it breaks. Then I am f*cked and have to wait weeks or months for a new one to ship from Hong Kong.

If we were at the point were I can just go to a store, buy a phone and put Linux on it - I would start right now.

When I go to the editor, Chromium shows me a little plus in a circle next to the bookmark icon. Hovering it with the mouse shows "Install Create React App Sample". What on earth is this?

What is the state of other operating systems on Android devices?

Since Mobian is bringing Debian to phones, I am playing with the idea to try it.

How easy/hard is it nowadays to just go to a store, buy a nice phone, go home and put Mobian on it?

I am not talking about how nice the phone experience is. Just how easy/hard the switch to Mobian would be.

I'm fully aware that Mobian is brand new. But I would like to have a phone where I can play with it and watch it's progress.

How does this twitter thread view work? Every tweet in this thread shows a different number of replies. But how do you see them?

For example the one beginning with "7/ Then we'll consider 555 California St..." shows that it has 17 replies. Where are they? How can one read them?

HN is not a tech news site.

HN is pretty much the only place on the web where intelligent discussion takes place. That is why I hope for every news I am interested in to be discussed here.

Reddit discussions are complete garbage. The top comment on r/news for this article is this one line: "That's $750 more than I thought he paid.". It has over 19k likes.
