Jake lived in Idaho - It's not a huge part of the book, but it's described as mentioned.

"Corvallis had, a few minutes ago, picked Jake Forthrast up at the train station downtown. He was in his late forties—a straggler, much younger than the other three Forthrast siblings. He lived in northern Idaho, in a remote community of like-minded people, which was to say extreme libertarians with a religious bent. He had a wife and a brood of kids there."

Fantastic idea IMO

Dated December 1st - one of the many benefits of consuming news via RSS.

yes!

I bought a CD from an artist (The Burning Leaves) through Bandcamp. Even though the artist lives, like 500m from me and I could have just asked her. Just to give Bandcamp my business and their cut to help them along (also it would have been weird).

I've discovered so much through Bandcamp that I would have otherwise not known about, and bought so much I otherwise would have pirated.

I think it's the help the platform help the artist thing that gets me. It means nothing in the end.

Not really - there are a few, but there's no guarantee that they won't be bought out and enshitificaton will ensue

Unless he has access to some top secret AI (which he wouldn't after being fired), I'd say not.

oops. Didn't see that

Say it loud enough and long enough and people will believe anything. The evidence and the truth matters not a jot.

Possibly the least surprising news of all time

It could sneak in before the end of 2024. Perfect opportunity to release a new improved model...

There's actually a vintage super 8 in a charity shop near me for, like, £20.

Title cut as too long.

Full title: New Kodak Super 8 Film Video Camera Thought to Be Vaporware Is Actually Coming Out, Costs $5,495, Charges With MicroUSB.

Do you know how hard it is to buy a new MicroUSB cable these days? Can't even find one in Poundland or B&M.

Nah. Any company can be compelled, that's true. But Neeva will sell you out if they think it "appropriate".

That's a huge difference.

Past experience with articles making it to HN FP show it can handle up to around 3K visits /hour without too much trouble. Maybe more, but my Matomo analytics instance tends to give up around then. Right now it's pulling maybe 700 visits/ hour.

If it starts looking bad, I'll move the site onto a VPS

As the writer of this piece, I can state that this was the original headline - later changed by other editorial staff.

Both my own site (on a Pi behind the couch) and the gov site were subjected to the hug of death. I've moved thecrow.uk onto a VPS for now and it's back up. Hurray!

I don't know if it's imgur or my browser, or something else, but that's just giving me a black square with a coloured strip down the right hand side?

Personal experience essay. Mildly entertaining
