Is this just another ad for Base44? Claiming WIX is easier to use than Elementor is only valid if you like shitty template websites versus template site elements. It's posts like this that remind me the HN is still just as fucking stupid as Peter Theil's dumb ass.
Re:Do people underestimate GPS metadata in shared photos? on Wednesday February 04, 2026 @03:53PM (#46891606)
GPS data is so easily spoofed these days that I treat any image or video containing it to be de facto false. GPS data is just time signatures from at least 5 different satellites of a network of over 40+. Having specific satellite RAIM details embedded in EXIF would be an issue, but general GPS information in EXIF is no more self-snitching than the content of the photo and the social media platform you post it to. It's far easier to dox without GPS and any available EXIF location data should only be used as non-primary information to corroborate existing hypotheses, not generate new ones.

No. What happened here is you confused semantics for logic.

How do I downvote this? You went to high school and learned the definition of a null hypothesis?
Re:Ask HN: Is there anyone here who still uses slide rules? on Tuesday February 03, 2026 @11:28AM (#46873114)
As a pilot, I'm using it all the time. Even got a fancy watch with physical dials to spin

How do I downvote this garbage? You're being pedantic while they vibe-code away your retirement.
