I wish Kobo would accept my Kindle as partial payment for one of their units. Can't wait to switch away from Bezos.

Reminder: don’t trust third parties with your digital belongings. Not because they’re evil, but because they’re third parties. And third parties, by definition, are people who today are on your side and tomorrow will sell you to the highest bidder.

It happens in life, and it happens on the internet. Today, your digital life, files, photos, chats, etc, are on a server run by a company with a cute logo and a manifesto about privacy. Tomorrow, that company gets bought by a billionaire with lizard-like features, changes its terms and conditions, and your stuff ends up on a marketplace for five cents a bundle.

The vast majority of people still today directly associate any stomach pain with stress as their first thought. I would even venture to say that many doctors still inquire about stress during a consultation. Even though it is not the cause of ulcers, it is true that stress amplifies the symptoms of existing ulcers and increases stomach acid production. Personally, I find stress fascinating.

While I agree that this is often used by dictators to exercise their will and justify it by any means they can find, I don’t see the connection between a totalitarian regime and Argentina.

I agree that this would be a great addition.

For anyone interested in the origins of jazz I recommend the book Early Jazz: Its Roots and Musical Development by Schuller. It covers mostly 1920-1930 and a bit of its origins is west Africa.

We should have something similar to Apple's hide my email for phone numbers

In one way or another, we are all being supervised, even without having committed a crime. It is true that there is a thin line between supervision and the violation of rights, but I believe this requires deeper analysis. However, the fact that supervision exists should not surprise us at a time in history when individuals are more supervised than ever before.

If in this case the supervision were a possible violation of his freedom of expression, then thousands of similar situations constantly occur with people’s freedom to move freely among other examples.

I totally agree. What are they doing over there? It's funny because some of these companies are just jumping into trends, in this case, AI, probably to lure investors and users. They might be achieving the complete opposite result by doing so. If I didn't know about n8n from before and read the new headline on their homepage, I would have thought the tool was not useful for what I need.

At the moment of writing this I have no clue what my wallpaper is. I can't remember when was the last time I actually saw my desktop or interacted with it. I am not sure if this ball will also bounce on top of opened windows, but the whole thing made me think about the need for the desktop at all or how it could be made more useful.

luck is getting to the first page of HN with such a basic and empty "Article"

It's not hard work, nor luck. It's who you know. Then one could argue that "who you know" might be the product of either luck or hard work, which would be a valid answer. In any case, I believe knowing the right people with the right connections is the difference between having a successful business or not (at least in my industry)

finally, I was waiting for this comment.

I've previously used PianoVision, and it worked quite well. The concept seems similar, now augmented with VR. I anticipate that VR pianos will evolve to such an extent that they'll replace traditional pianos in many scenarios (like teaching/learning) https://www.meta.com/experiences/5271074762922599/
