Ticketmaster was definitely my inspiration.

Why not sell them directly on the secondary market and pocket the markup?

Why even bother selling them yourself and cultivate a community of scalper to maximize profit and take a cut.

Then buy the suppliers and only make enough to keep them scarce and expensive.

Don't stop there, buy competitor wares and put them in the landfill since they aren't running any schemes.

I think it boils down to: profit isn't the only motivation for doing a thing.

Used it to troubleshoot test-cafe hammerhead which itself is a proxy, but it fails to do its job under more circumstances than you would think.

This banana is delicious but makes for a terrible automobile. I wish someone would make a banana that could get me to work on time.

In other news I know of a MitM proxy that works as advertised, has a decent UI, and is reasonably tasty.

Fiddler classic is probably fine for Windows users. It's a bit old and unsupported now if I'm not mistaken, but otherwise good IMHO.

New fiddler is not something I would recommend or use, I can't get passed the fact you need to login to it.

Mitm works on Mac and Linux and it's never asked me to login once.

Also thanks. The alternatives are expensive or just ass by comparison. Plus the name is cool.

What good is a generator that doesn't function off-grid?

Seems like you sorted out what to say, now just paste it into any thread that mentions IDEs.

I don't see what reason there is to be curmudgeonly about your editor. Try new ones, go back to old, write your own... but for heaven's sake don't assume you know everything.

I can't recommend Sublime Merge enough. Many tools out there do the same job, but half as fast with way less style.
SixDouble5321··on Update Firmware of Samsung SSDs in Linux
95% of comments like these are from Windows users. Linux users generally know how to troubleshoot, fill out bug reports, come up with solutions(article is case in point), etc.

The much more likely reason is there is a Windows user in charge of the team. Someone who doesn't know what they don't know.

SixDouble5321··on Moscow police officers stop people, request their phones to read their messages
Yeah but they don't read it until someone decides you should be found guilty of something.

Congrats on being part of the problem. It does Just Work for the majority of cases.
SixDouble5321··on Hoppscotch: Open-source alternative to Postman
Yeah, wouldn't want to be a flip-flopper. Life-time bans are the most reasonable thing to do.

Httpie is what I use for this. I use shell scripts, with httpie commands which look very much like http syntax.

SixDouble5321··on Why I will never buy another Samsung device
Well, it's going to cost more up front, but they do exist.

EVGA has had even better warranties in the past but still have a decent one and I have always had good experiences with their customer service.

I have an LG dishwasher, and it has a service manual inside the housing and I can and have bought parts online.

Consumer reports has data about reliability of various household goods and appliances.

IFixit is a good source to check before you buy a cellphone and other various things.

I feel like it's only democratic in so far as dollars get a vote.
SixDouble5321··on Thank You, Valve
We need boots on the ground. We need people installing Linux rather than making excuses about why they can't.

Obviously what you describe is a problem. If Valve is going to spend the money getting games working on Linux no one, trying to make money, would port their game. It will hurt. It will hurt groups that specialize in porting Linux games.

Without the installs, whatever we do today is unsustainable.

Web3 will exist because it has to, but it won't matter. Someone would have to be born out of something like Web3 to truly be free of containment.

SixDouble5321··on More Americans are saying they’re ‘vaxxed and done’
You would think in 38 years a person could learn some body language. Between that and seeing someone's eyes, I have little to no problem reading people's reactions with a mask on.

If you are having trouble it may be a personal problem.

Neither is it evidence of anything. The issue is nuanced and this video is 80% pundits and zero percent damning.

Lurk more...

I am happy to hear from people with something apropos to add.

Being out of touch with the everyman isn't overly weird for a founder of a company.

> Trump was racist

Trump is racist. He called COVID the kung flu. Closing a "boarder" is a bit different than blaming a demographic.

Biden is not an overt racist, so it's not likely that a border closing will get characterized as racist. It's up for debate whether it was good or bad, however.

SixDouble5321··on Show HN: I bought and tested the filtration of every mask on Amazon
Is this a mask testing company or a mask selling company?

How could I possibly trust one company to do both?
