Seattle has such a tax. It has done nothing to stop people from purchasing that foul stuff, however. They simply go to a neighbouring city and purchase it there - for less.

No web browser access -- failure
Privacy nightmare -- failure
That's too much for me so, well, not touching it.

One is curious as to why anyone needs to justify their existence.
Re:Ask HN: How does Amazon SNAP/EBT eligibility work?
on Wednesday August 03, 2022 @10:46PM (#32338755)
You might want to check again. I notice a lot of goat cheese options - most of which are $6 or less and eligible for purchase via SNAP/EBT.
The noodles are a bit on the high side from my perspective. One option is $10.50 for a 3oz serving (for one person). That's $3.50/ounce. Another option is $23.39 for 30 packs with each pack being 2.82 ounces. That's around 28 cents/ounce. This one seems like the better option but I'm not into noodles anyway - even if, like these, they're certified Halal.
Re:Ask HN: Who wants a running CP/M system?

I know a bunch of folks who'd be interested (including myself). Those bad boys just ran and ran with very little tweaking. Love 'em to death. If no one else wants it, let me know. I'd be happy to give it a new home. Near Seattle here.

I am very suspicious of anyone who claims that no logs are made/kept. Stuff has to be logged for basic maintenance of a server for instance.

Have you tried other shells like csh or tcsh?

May I suggest https://www.cotse.net/ ? They don't do this kind of stuff. I'm a long-time user/fan of them.

Grammarly is a fairly good resource.
Re:Ask HN: How does this device claim to “speed up your internet”?
on Tuesday June 30, 2020 @11:24AM (#23690980)
Best guess: the blocking of trackers/adverts at the hardware level should increase your browsing speed marginally but I doubt it's anything more than that.
Re:Ask HN: Any Workspaces for Windows 10 with keyboard support?

It's built-in for Windows 10. Check this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028538/windows-10-...
Re:Ask HN: Should your employer pay for your primary health care?
on Wednesday December 25, 2019 @11:16AM (#21879064)
I'm not entirely sure how ethics play into this.
For full-time work, an employer is expected to pay for your health care. That's how it's supposed to work in the U.S. anyway.
Re:Ask HN: Why doesn't YC build a web browser?

Until/unless you find what you're seeking, check out The Classic Browser (http://theclassictools.com/). I just found out about it today and it's fast.
Re:Ask HN: Most hackable browser?
on Tuesday February 05, 2019 @04:18PM (#19089927)
I think Vivaldi is one of the most configurable browsers out there but that doesn't really answer your question. Or maybe I'm not quite understanding the question. Opera used to have everything added-in by default (mail, vpn, etc) but not sure if that's still the case with their move to a Chromium base.

Thunderbird. But I'm considering switching to Claws.
Re:Do you use Tor everyday?
on Monday December 10, 2018 @12:29AM (#18645454)
TOR is something I use only occasionally, when the need is there. Using it regularly would be too frustrating for me as TOR is godawfully slow even on a really fast connection.

Re:Ask HN: What to do when someone accessed you credit report and SSN?

Get a credit freeze at all the services. That's a first-line defense.

If it was a viable option and not a flawed economic theory, I'd return to school and learn more languages/arts to go with all the STEM stuff I already know.
