Depending on where you are, Organic Maps can have far far finer detail, especially when it comes to walking paths. I used this a couple times in Japan and Korea to find my way through densely packed shrine complexes, or over less-traveled hiking paths in the mountains.
It doesn't make you magically lose weight, it just gets you closer to "girl dinnering" with less cognitive load. The weight loss comes from eating less.
I like the general idea, but the execution here is lacking. The inclusion of the "type to reply" feature quite terrible turn off, because it's abused by other users immediately. Further, these cursors are really distracting—ideally they'd be less intrusive and more ambient in nature, at least by default.
This is a terrible take. "Just lowering the brightness" also lowers contrast, which makes text harder to read (among other things). Dark mode allows you to keep that contrast without keeping the perceived brightness, which is a big win.
It's absolutely impossible to reason with people like that, and I have to imagine you're already well aware. Evidence means nothing when "belief" can replace it.
I've been a Firefox user for years—it's more than a suitable replacement for Chrome. You can also use adblocking extensions on both mobile and desktop.
I've seen DUST3R and MAST3R in posts like this, but it's not immediately clear how to put it to use. Are there any (relatively simple) utilities out there for someone to try these algorithms out?
This, exactly. Things will only continue to get more shitty as long as the expectation, and often requirement, for businesses with investors is to make infinite money, forever.
Posts like these really get down to the essence of Hacker News for me. Doing amazing, previously impossible things through sheer nerdy effort. What a deeply impressive story!
Those at the top of the chain, who benefit from the "strong" economy, have an intrinsic motivation to suggest that things are going just great. Many in Washington are either suckling the teats of the wealthy through campaign finance / lobbying, or hyper-rich from investments (and other forms of economic parasitism)—providing a great deal of motivation for decision makers in US government to not give a shit.
