aurora72··on HN 15 Years ago
The exact launch date seems to be Feb 19, 2007
aurora72··on Waterfox Browser
I've used a recent version of WF yesteryear on Mac and Windows, both with the firewall installed and guess what. The Firewall started notifying numerous outgoing connection attempts even before I opened any webpage! WF was obstinately trying to record each and every info about me into a network of servers. But that's not the end of the story. I've installed the classic version of WF so that it would run on my older Mac. What could be worse than an unashamed privacy infringement? WF Classic froze the whole operating system, the keyboard went unresponsive so I had to do a hard shutdown! You know each hard power off could destroy the SSD. Luckily for me the SSD survived the hard off but one thing is proven for sure: WF is to be avoided at all costs.
aurora72··on Floating wind turbines could rise to great heights
$94.50 for first year and then $189 recurring? I would suggest staying away from this ridiculously unashamed rip-off at all costs.
aurora72··on World’s first lab-grown meat facility pumps out 5k burgers per day
A key benefit of cultured meat is its minimized impact on the environment => And the key danger is its maximized impact on the body.
aurora72··on Ask HN: Do you still use RSS?
Kudos. In 00's there was print version, a very convenient feature. They are actually needed mpre today. Not just for printers of course. For the real content, wo banners, ads and crap :
aurora72··on Ask HN: Do you still use RSS?
Who is Google? (if you see what I mean)
aurora72··on Computer Files Are Going Extinct
The author says "everyone started to use Spotify" Everyone? Yeah everyone with their shiny $1000+ iFon toys in their hands doing touch gestures.
aurora72··on California’s mountain lion faces ‘extinction vortex’
No. The Lion and M.Lion OSX are really good. Maybe the best I can link are the BSD and some craftmanship on top of it.
aurora72··on California’s mountain lion faces ‘extinction vortex’
I mean deforestation devitalization denaturalization devastation of nature of any kind for any purpose whether for capitalism or some other thingism.
aurora72··on California’s mountain lion faces ‘extinction vortex’
My favorite OSX version and my favorite animal. It's an incredibly agile animal. The animals are taking their toll from the insatible greediness of wild capitalism.
aurora72··on The birth and death of a bike company: What happened to SpeedX
There are no noteworthy novelties in this kickstarted bike. I'd personally venture to lose some money if I saw some real innovation and I wouldn't bother even if they failed to deliver the end product or the company went bankrupt. Here we see only some Chinese copy work.
aurora72··on Negotiations Failed: How Oracle Killed Java EE
After Java SE has become proprietary-like software, it was reported that Java EE division would be handed to the Eclipse Foundation. And that was good news because it meant that Java EE would be managed independently from Oracle but now we see that Oracle wants to make Java EE dependent on themselves, and that is bad news :::
aurora72··on Librem One – A growing bundle of ethical services
To me, it still looks like a priority or some other kind of problem. Sorry :) Let's assume all of this as a "good intentioned mistake" and hope that Purism abolish this ASAP.
aurora72··on Librem One – A growing bundle of ethical services
I'm too much disappointed with this bullshit, because it's coming from a company which I really appreciated 'n respected. AFAIK, Purism hasn't yet delivered the Librem 5 phone. If that's case, then it's a priority violation. Now, the best Purism can do is abort this bullshit and pay all the backers their money back before it's too late.
aurora72··on Show HN: 1MB – Free and easy static website hosting and database
Looks succinct and minimalistly practical. Is it totally open-source in the sense that I can replicate the 1mb.site on my own server using 3-4 the repos published on Github?
aurora72··on Cygwin 3.0.0-1
Cygwin is the pioneer in Unix on Windows but it's been superseded by the MSYS2. I say this with caution though: MSYS2 is inspired by the Cygwin. But it's just more authentic because you use real Windows applications doing Unix jobs.
aurora72··on Txti – Fast web pages for everybody
The M----rFu---ngWebsite.com was done by that. (Sorry for the inappropriate language)

aurora72··on Apple Open Sources iOS Kernel
Likely.
aurora72··on Turks detained for using ByLock 'had human rights breached'
Did you think that mainstream media was on behalf of the people, folks? They are the paid workers of the government its just that they don't show it.
aurora72··on Emergent Gravity and the Dark Universe
Gravity might have a lot to do with the electro-magnetism force. I've written "electro" separately on purpose because gravity and electromagnetic force might fundamentally be the same forces caused by the same electrons. Remember both magnetic and gravity forces act vertically. The gravity might be just an EM force on the pull mode.
aurora72··on Ask HN: What is your favorite Google chrome extension?
When angular.js first came out, a chrome extension was released which displayed popular hacker quotes like "ship it" " when new tabs were opened. What was the name of that extension? I can't remember that after I sold my Mac mini, but that was my favorite.

Well iPad - iBooks have a proper PDF support isn't that enough?
aurora72··on Why Java Will Always Be Slower Than C++ (2001)
This article is from August 2001 and a lot has changed since then. Yet I agree that C++ is unbeatable in terms of speed and memory usage.
aurora72··on Ask HN: Do you take antidepressants?
No and never took such pills. What about some tequila? Guaranteed to take any depression away in a healthy manner.
aurora72··on Long-time Iowa farm cartoonist fired after creating this cartoon
If the same cartoon was drawn in Germany, no one would have been fired. A matter of Socialism vs Capitalism.
aurora72··on Homebrew now sends usage information to Google Analytics
AFAIK, Max Howell was rejected from a position at Google, and now his trademark making use of Google? Let him take a look at GNU.ORG; if he can see any GA code.
