tenuousemphasis··on Lina Khan points to Figma IPO as vindication of M&A scrutiny
Chesterton's Fence:

>In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, "I don't see the use of this; let us clear it away." To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: "If you don't see the use of it, I certainly won't let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it."

>I’ve basically settled on only buying major brands that I already know from Amazon

I wouldn't even do that, unless you can't find it anywhere else. Amazon commingles their returns form 3rd party sellers and Amazon direct. So you might order an item, find out it was actually a broken returned item, and then have Amazon call you a liar.

tenuousemphasis··on Show HN: PunchCard Key Backup
This is a problem the cryptocurrency community has been dealing with for almost a decade: how to securely store a seed phrase backup (48 characters, the first 4 characters of 12 words).
