I only buy sunblock from Korea and Japan that uses Bemotrizinol. Not sure where you got the idea that it wouldn't rub in, but I can confirm that it rubs in very well and doesn't stain white clothing like the avobenzone…
I'm really glad you mentioned this --- I've been looking for a Rust or Tauri-based Obsidian replacement for years, and this is almost everything I want (and much closer to what I want than Files.md). Now that I'm…
Culture: - The Slate Culture Gabfest - probably the most consistently fun podcast on my list. It's like sitting down at a table with your smartest friends from grad school to talk about movies, books, and music. The…
Strictly speaking, Volcker caused two recessions (the first of which likely ended Carter's re-election prospects). Although raising interest rates tamped down inflation on the demand side, we don't give enough credit to…

Honestly, the Firefox feature-set it what prompted me to pick it up again after years of not using it. - I wanted ad-blocking on Android, so I tried out Firefox on mobile. - Then there were times I wanted to sync…
It really shines on e-ink Android readers such as the tablets Boox makes. I almost exclusively use it on my Boox because the built-in reading app is terrible.
Koreader doesn't integrate with overdrive, but it's trivially easy to install it on your Kobo alongside the Kobo OS. You can continue to use overdrive on your Kobo and also dip into koreader for the better PDF viewer…
For anyone who is interested, CoquiTTS (formerly, MozillaTTS) was great, but the project isn't maintained anymore (athough there's been some confusion about whether or not it's active. See:…
Should we be concerned that Mein Kampf shows up in a list of HN "favorite books"?
Very few people use the recommended amount of sunscreen (it's more than you think) and even when you do, no sunscreen blocks 100% of the photo-aging UV energy that hits your skin (note: still wear sunscreen - absorbing…
More context on the shutdown from Josh Meyer: https://twitter.com/_josh_meyer_/status/1742522906041635166 Coqui is shutting down. It's sad news to start the new year, but I want to take a minute to recognize everything…
Coqui-ai was a commercial continuation of Mozilla TTS and STT (https://github.com/mozilla/TTS). At the time (2018-ish), it was really impressive for on-device voice synthesis (with a quality approaching the Google and…
No one is saying that iphones are the most expensive flagships. A difference in maximum isn't the same as a difference in average. Apple doesn't make a product that costs less than $430 (the SE). If you need a cheaper…
It turns out that when your company doesn't make any products that serve the budget end of the market, the average income of your userbase skews higher than companies that do serve that part of the market. Who knew?
The bit about "following the law" was so poorly thought out. Musk's comments at TED made it seem like he both: (1) confused Bill of Rights guarantee that the government won't censor speech with some law that prohibits…
