Here are a few hundred thousand:

I agree that it feels a bit harsh. I feel a bit guilty.

But "silent mouths don't get fed". And I think I am speaking for a large number of users. And it's been over ten years now. So the voice of users might become a bit louder? I dunno. I read through all the features in the announcement and think "I don't need any of that. Who asked for all these things? Are they really user driven?".

And again no non-destructive adjustment layers, the saga continues!

When I talk to designers about Gimp they say "Uh, I tried it once years ago. But back then it was so archaic that you could not even change the contrast settings after you did something else to the image".

Little do they know. It is still that archaic.

Don't get me wrong. I use Gimp daily and love it. I am very grateful to the people who build it. But how this feature can be ignored after people have been begging for it for over a decade now is beyond me. As far as I can see, it is the number one reason why people do not consider Gimp as a Photoshop replacement.

I am a total music nut. So I would certainly try it if it had a web interface. For me, the barrier to install a native app on my phone is pretty high.

Looking at the permissions this app wants makes me feel even less comfortable. Access to my camera, my mic, my contacts, my identity, the data on my sd...

One of my favorite ways to discover music is Gnoosic (https://www.gnoosic.com) where I don't have to install anything and get results right away. I found some of my all time favorite bands this way.

Any other tips by the HN crowd on how to expand ones musical horizon?

    he received a push notification

Strange article

    I unlocked my phone and two
    accidental clicks led me to
    agree to a dialog that my brain
    immediately registered as suspicious

    The next day, I picked up my phone and
    when I launched Chrome, I immediately
    noticed it was displaying a spammy URL.

Since everyone has the FB/Insta/WhatsApp apps installed, how can Apple prevent users from being tracked?

I would think when a user visits a web page, that page can deliver an insane amount of fingerprinting data along with the IP to FB. So it is easy for FB to correlate it with the users accounts which are phoning home on the same IP.

Other apps can send even more data to FB then a website. Seems hard to imagine FB can not figure out it is coming from the same phone.

Too bad you cannot embed the charts.

Are there any good embeddable stock widgets out there?

Well, have you tried it?

Every time I try to book a trip, the single compartment is grey and says that this option is not available for this trip.

Well, that is a page which describes the options.

Bit have you tried the "Book ticket" button?

For me, it simply goes to the start page.

So I still don't know how to find the routes that offer these options.

Do you update the share prices every day? How do you get the data?

I was on that site a couple of times but never managed to find out which routes offer a single cabin for yourself.

I would not want to have strangers sleeping next to me.

Does it really spare you a hotel stay?

With a plane, I leave at 10:00 in the morning, arrive at say 14:00 in the other city and check into a hotel at 15:00.

With a train, I leave at 22:00 in the evening before, arrive at say 10:00 in the other city and check into a hotel at 15:00.

Same amount of hotel stays. A few more hours in the other city. But since I have to carry around my luggage and don't have a shower and toilet, I am not sure if those hours are a plus or a minus.

I never tried a night train. Are there any good ones in Europe?

Flying is a lot of hassle though. You need to go to the airport which is far away from the center. In most cities half an hour to an hour. And you have to arrive at least an hour before your flight takes of. And you cannot buy a ticket spontaneously.

I love trains. They often go every hour. You can spontaneously take them. Right from the center. And you arrive right in the center. And you can freely chose your seat. So you can pick a pleasant neighbor. Or just change seat if your neighbor annoys you.

Apart from HN, which sites would that engine crawl?

Every other site on the net seems to sell you something.

Would you allow Wikipedia even though it tries to make you donate via those popup-like dialogs that slide in from the top?

Is the Google search bar on the bottom of Androids homescreen removable at all?

I would love to get rid of it but have not found a way yet.

This site always works well for me to broaden my literary horizon:

I found some of my all time favorite authors this way.

Should one do a corona antibody test before getting the vaccine?

It does not make sense to get the vaccine if you already have the antibodies from a previous infection, right?

    the majority of businesses don't have
    people's faces on display

After clicking around your site a bit, I am left with a somewhat "cold" feeling of an anonymous service.

As a potential customer and business partner, I would leave the site for good if I had not seen your post here on HN.

For me to engage with a service, I need to know who is behind it. See their face. Their Twitter account, their Github.

I would not put my data into an anonymous machine.

What would have been the RIO of a shareholder who held $100 in Yahoo shares in 2000?

I think Yahoo had some assets that it sold (like ~$40B worth of Alibaba shares) later on. Did the cash go into YHOO or into the shareholders account in some other way?

I doubt iframes can stretch to the content even with JS.

Maybe for special cases, where the content is from the same domain or is actively messaging the size outwards so you can code some interplay between the outer page and the iframe. But neither side can do it alone.

Why did they study a combination of substances and not a single one? Wouldn't a study of a single substance be more valuable then a study of a mix?

Sometimes I have the impression that these type of studies are more common among studies initiated by a company. Here it was some supplements company.

I think it is important to remember that by testing random mixes, any company can produce an arbitrary amount of studies and then publish the one with the best looking results and use it for marketing.

No non-destructive adjustment layers ...

People are waiting for non-destructive adjustment layers for over 10 years now.

Does HN exist this long? Lets do a search... It does!

The Volvo page has a lot of text. But does it have information?

On the Volvo page, I do not see a single piece of information before I scroll. Instead I see fluff like "We know that many transport operators work hard to reduce the environmental footprint..."

On the Tesla page, I see four pieces of information right away. Acceleration, energy consumption, drag coefficient and that it has four independent motors.

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

https://www.tesla.com/semi

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.
