I hate it when visual oriented products make it difficult or impossible to see a screenshot of how they look like. Both of those products' github pages don't have screenshot, the first does have a website but no screenshots or links to them there either.

Do you have to install a tool that modifies the internals of your OS in order to see how it could look like? Imagine if you had to set up a painting on your wall before you could even see what it's a painting of.

There's a reason hearsay evidence is not accepted in courts.

Because it sells the world's best selling car at a high margin? And is double the price of the Toyota Corolla it dethroned.

If one gets news about Tesla only from HN then it does seem Tesla is ridiculous, because only negative stories tend to get upvoted and positive ones buried.

I've never seen a scrum master code. Sometimes the daily scrum meeting is run by ICs when the scrum master is busy or not around.

The issue is with OCR. Imagine something that was printed(for being physically signed or filed into a cabinet, for example) and rescanned into an image or PDF. Both printing and scanning is lossy with lots of noise and artifacts. The article is saying that serif fonts are harder to OCR.

For example, something like this https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/6945...

Just curious about what people think were 2022's top tech innovations, can you list them.

I prefer text too but I feel like that's mostly because the videos are not information dense on purpose. They expand to whatever the youtube algorithm prefers at the time, which is about 10 minutes now. Ironically, tiktoks are more information dense but the search is completely useless.

>Tons of people have been outraged by the war

I am not talking about the war itself. I am talking about the outrage over spending on wars. For example, there is barely any debate in the public sphere about 'where to get money to spend on wars', but if it helps poor or middle income people, like say increased welfare payments, or healthcare or college, suddenly there is a huge outcry over "how do we pay for it".

So? There are limits to Roth contributions(and 401Ks) which have been abused by finding loopholes, which the proposed law closes. The fact that it's post-tax has nothing to do with it. Something being post tax doesn't magically make it an untouchable investment. For example capital gains tax is applied to post-tax investments.

>The income has already been taxed

Uhh... have you heard of capital gains tax? (And capital loss deductions).

Or maybe it's trying to close loopholes around having to pay taxes.

>The whole deal is a 'we are spending tons of cash, so we need to take it from someone' plan

Funny how spending tons of cash is a problem only if it benefits poor and middle class people. I never saw this outrage on trillions spent on endless wars, since that benefits rich people. But if something helps poor or middle class and hurts rich people a little, there is a big outrage.

If it's being used to avoid taxes then yes, the loophole should be closed.
