It comes down to each pigment acting as a UV shield for the other. Paint fades because specific wavelengths of light (mostly UV and high-energy visible light) break down the chemical bonds in pigment molecules. The key is that different pigments are vulnerable to different wavelengths.

Yellow pigment absorbs blue and violet light. That's what makes it look yellow, it reflects the longer wavelengths and soaks up the shorter ones. But the UV and violet radiation it's absorbing is also what gradually destroys it.

Red pigment does something similar but across a different band, it absorbs greens and shorter wavelengths, and that absorption is what degrades it over time.

When you mix them 50/50 into orange, each pigment is absorbing the wavelengths that would have destroyed the other one.

Best we can do in this economy.

The Redditors have arrived

Same applies to iPhones. Lag (animation) between action and result drives me crazy. Accessibility settings don't help much.

At least Android still allows you to set animation scale, for now.

Private equity cancer, same as Namecheap.

Reddit's r/namecheap is also full of horror stories.

That’s not fair. Google has no hesitation in banning its own customers either. Combine this with private equity vultures (namecheap) and shitty registrar, you are always one AI token away from being banned.

Shit, didn’t know that namecheap was acquired by PE! Very sad news. Is there any registrar left that isn’t crap?

Porkbun is not bad, Gandi has fallen as well.

Not sure how you feel about them as a company, but I use Cloudflare because they sell domains at cost.

Of the suggestions, I think I would lean to CF, too.

Yea regarding namecheap/spaceship (their sort of subsidiary company). I once created a tool which could find me a cool short .de domain out of curiosity and I tried using namecheap bulk's domain feature.

It said that https://aid.de was available. I was out of the moon happy (silly me) thinking that its such a good domain or something.

Then I saw aid.de available in namecheap for around 2$ ish but for some reason I took a bath and hten later it showed 10$ ish.

Okay, I then went to spaceship and it also showed me aid.de available. I then took my card and signed up

Well the transaction took place but got refunded. It said that there was an issue or something and got insta refunded

Silly me, thought that the payment had issues and decided to do payment again. This time though my refund had to wait 10 days to come back because of international laws.

Now I had only very little amount stuck btu I can see someone losing substantial money/having it stuck

I contacted their support and they told me that both namecheap/spaceship have a bug where some domains show available when they aren't.

I haven't checked but since the amount was like 1-2$ now but this whole thing really soured my relationship with namecheap/spaceship.

For context, before this, I also had a hate/love relationship with namecheap because once I bought a domain with them using crypto and also bought their vpn which was like 20 cents basically

It had auto renewal on and my domain costed 1$ but crypto payment requires 10$ minimum and the VPN charged me money from that.

Luckily I had spotted before the 2nd month and to be honest, like only 1 month 10 days or something and I urged the namecheap company to do what's right (in that moment because a lapse of judgement had been made from my side/error and I hoped that namecheap could realize it and do "right" instead given that the cost was only around 10$ fwiw)

After waiting for many days, they finally did what's right and gave me my credits back as a one off thing and I then turned off their domains.

I also used a crypto swap thing to convert b/w usdc and btc (what namecheap accepts) and I had an issue of doing two times payment after the timeperiod of btc payment (15 mins) but they also fixed that issue by adding the credits manually when I raised the issue.

Their customer support at times can be good but the platform itself is a little shady in my opinion. For the VPN thing if I remember correctly, the auto renew was written with grey and I genuinely didn't read it without my specs.

I am gonna keep my domain with namecheap that I have and if I get deals from namecheap/spaceship then use them, but for individual domains without deals, hell no.

I know that many people don't like the centralized nature of cloudflare but cloudflare is a good thing for domains :/

I personally just buy domains from wherever's there's a deal right now as some domains I have are some that I keep for only 1 year or similar.

To be honest, if I want to pick a domain-thing, I'd rather pick the one which is the cheapest or if not, then the one which only sells domains

I just looked at porkbun and they only sell domain related things and at best mail (they also have a deal with proton which can be interesting to many)

Porkbun is also cheap so I think I would recommend porkbun/cloudflare.

I haven't decided if I will transfer my domains from namecheap or not but their customer service is nice but the same can't be said for their service sometimes in my opinion.

Please further explain what you mean. I think this is a pretty interesting and well written article, but your comment made me doubt myself.

> If this, then that. No point in reading some distilled, glossed over LLM bullshit.

My advice would be to get used to this style, or otherwise you'd risk to miss out lots of interesting articles.

I can generate my own interesting articles. Just skip the middleman.

You can do it, yes. But use of LLMs is not a binary variable - a merely polished text might look like a generated one in its entirety. So you if you prioritize "human-looking" context (I do not) you'd be in disadvantage.

> My advice would be to get used to this style

this style is like nails on a chalkboard. if they can’t care enough to make it readable, then they couldn’t pay me to care to read it

Once your got used to it, it even easier to read than human one, as you brain learns to ignore the structure enforced by LLM, an it always the same. YMMV, but to me, this style is grating, yes, but easier to parse, nonetheless.

Well it worked out great for Teams, no?

but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health... what have the Romans ever done for us?

Reddit became popular largely because Digg alienated its user base with a 2010 redesign (Digg v4) that prioritised publisher-driven and sponsored content over organic, community-curated submissions, driving a mass exodus of users to Reddit practically overnight. So let's stick to facts.

Why do people make claims about stuff they clearly know nothing about.

I was part of the exodus too, I spent hours everyday on Digg before switching to Reddit. I remember, and Digg staff’s nonchalant/hostile responses to the community also hurt.

I wasn’t trying to provide a complete biopsy, I’m just explaining that the exodus (I agree with you on the cause) was only practical because there was a viable and user-friendly alternative.
