krolden··on FDA to order Juul e-cigarettes off U.S. market
I see paywalls here quite often and it drives me nuts
krolden··on FDA to order Juul e-cigarettes off U.S. market
There are no carcinogenic chemicals in vape liquid. So how are they so bad? Yes nicotine is addictive but the only serious health effects come if you consume insane amounts of it daily (usually cardiovascular, it basically just raises your blood pressure).
krolden··on Terminated
Yeah that line really threw me off. My earliest memories of google were ~1999 and it was JUST a search engine. At the time altavista was still superior anyway. Dont know what the hell the author is talking about there.
krolden··on Russia is taking over Ukraine’s Internet
Yeah which is also insane. 750 military bases around the world but don't you dare call the USA an empire!
krolden··on Texas police want uvalde bodycam footage suppressed
So many parallels with the fall of the roman empire the USA has.
krolden··on We’re winding down Google Talk
Phoneblocks
krolden··on Plastic Recycling Doesn’t Work and Will Never Work
Why would it last any longer than in a glass jar?
krolden··on Broadcom's stated strategy ignores most VMware customers
Yeah, screw all your loyal customers except the cash faucets.
krolden··on Setting up a Pi Hole made my home network faster
There was a free and open web before it became littered with ads.
krolden··on Farm vehicles stolen from Ukraine by Russians have been remotely disabled
Pretty sure most people who jailbreak their tractors get their software from Russia. I have no doubt they'll be able to overcome the lockout.
krolden··on Is there any way I can alter my driving behaviour to help reduce traffic? (2016)
Its like people dont understand their car will slow down enough by just removing their foot from the gas.

USA driving requirements are insanely inadequate. I studied for like a week on the written part of the test and it ended up being only ~10 simple questions followed by a drive around the block.

krolden··on Framework Laptop Mainboard
Why no modular GPU?
krolden··on New on Reddit: Comment search, improved search results relevance, search design
The userbase is what made reddit valuable to conde mast and all the investors since then.
krolden··on Police shut ‘Club Penguin Rewritten’, 3 arrested for copyright infringement
Isn't that called being a copyright troll?
krolden··on SF's government is uniquely broken
This is just a picture of what looks like the makeup isle. A lot of inner city stores that carry that stuff have it in a case since its easily pocketed and sold to a beauty store down the block.
krolden··on Ask HN: At what age would you let your kids to the real Internet?
Whenever they can figure out how to dial into the completely unreliable modem bridge I would set up for them.
krolden··on Amtrak is streaming an empty railroad on Twitch
Well the original railroads were mainly funded by taxpayer subsidies so I could say no CSX, etc needs to lay their own track, and fund it themselves.
krolden··on America’s largest companies quietly give worker data to Equifax (2017)
Hey anyone remember that settlement that they never paid out because it turned out the amount couldn't cover everyone who was affected by their breach?

Then they offered ID theft monitoring because just what we want is for them to collect more data on us.

How is this company still allowed to do business?

krolden··on You block ads in your browser, why not in your city?
Have any examples of ads benefiting poor people? This is the first time ive ever heard anyone make an statement like this and its really blowing my mind that people think this.
krolden··on DoorDash will require all employees to deliver goods
The point is to not actually have to pay their social security or benefits.
krolden··on DoorDash will require all employees to deliver goods
Great now make your delivery people actual employees.
krolden··on Pine64 and Radxa's new Pi CM4-compatible boards
What's your product line if you don't mind me asking?
krolden··on FBI may shut down police use-of-force database due to lack of police involvement
Those programs should be stopped entirely whether or not they comply butni also argue that these uncooperative departments should have all federal aid cut off until they comply. Maybe go as far as to cut off any federal funding to that municipality (no idea how much federal money these places get) in order to get them to start doing something about their terrible policing practices.
krolden··on Tell HN: You can't add “no ads” in your Play Store app's title
Well its their platform
krolden··on Keurig refuses to brew my tea because they didn’t make it
Does it also make tons of plastic waste?
krolden··on Ask HN: Are there any 4K “dumb” televisions?
This is good advice but if you're looking for something fancy like HDR or DV you will be dissapointed as (in my experience) digital signage displays often lack those features.

I have a big 4k tv that was destined for a sports bar but it was slightly damaged, got it for a great price. Sadly it doesn't have HDR either, but it is an older model. Anyway, its great as in there's no WiFi. There is a network port but there's no streaming apps or anything installed on it. I use it paired with an nvidia shield and a nakamichi soundbar and have been enjoying the experience.

But I digress, look for business displays

krolden··on I resigned from Twitter
Are people really using the term 'activist investors' unironically?
krolden··on ABit BP6 Dual Socket370 Motherboard (1999)
I miss abit. they made some great boards.
