Ah this brings back memories, and so do many of the anecdotes in this thread.

I remember trying these tricks for my Pokémon site hosted on Angelfire. Great fun as a 10 year old, I even started making my own animated gifs.

The page is still up, with this being the latest announcement: I still need a JAVA person and desperately need more webmasters!!! So if you wan't to help me e-mail

Crypto Twitter is very bullish on Web3 being the resurgence of this type of mentality. Fun and accessible technology that has the potential to mature into something powerful. I can’t help but agree.

There was a good conversation about this on HN a few months ago [1].

Has anyone successfully blocked unnecessary outbound traffic from their smart TV using a firewall such as pfsense? Whilst maintaining usability. A separate VLAN for IoT devices seems like a good first step.

I’m interested to know to how much their data breach in 2017 [0] impacted attrition. This breach included email addresses and encrypted passwords.

I really enjoyed the service but like many, Spotify’s competing (albeit subpar) features led me astray as I consolidated my listening to a single platform. And being outside of the US and Canada, I couldn’t use it after the 2016 cut off.

Subsequently, 8tracks fell off the radar for me. Until news of the data breach, which was much more annoying to hear about - as it was for a service I couldn’t even use anymore. However, their transparency has always been great and the post-mortem and customer comms were quick.

RIP 8tracks, I still miss the service and there is still a large gap in curating playlists the way they did.

The final episode of the Netflix series Ugly Delicious [1] holds a 'face-off' between Asian dumplings and Italian stuffed pasta. Although quite tongue-in-cheek, they mention that similar foods exist in many cultures.

I recommend the series as they tackle themes regarding the prejudice against certain cuisines, as mentioned by OP. Warning, you'll be hungry after and during each episode.

Good call out, but what would be even better is seeing the difference between 2015 and 2018. Does anyone have any screenshots from back then?

Beyond the other (valid) points here, will YouTube be providing some kind of funding or support to the Wikimedia Foundation?

There was an interesting discussion about Japanese web design on HN late last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6718067

Great idea. From my experience Excel is still the main data manipulation tool for many organisations (small business to large enterprise). Although it might be apparent for more technically minded users, I think an explanation about the security of the data would be beneficial for your target market.
