A partial list of colors that Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 lineup could be available in is making the rounds. Fueled by the purported leak of two images showing camera covers from a user named yeux1122, Apple rumor sites have deduced that five colors for a base-model iPhone 17 and four colors for what's been referred to as a slimmer iPhone 17 Air have been revealed. So far, there's no similar leak for what colors a new iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max would be available in, but there's speculation of a s

Some arguments against a land value tax (2024)

news.ycombinator.com Matthew Barnett 2026-01-27 02:14:21

That said, I personally think the land value tax is overrated. While I'm not entirely against it—and I think that several of th

That is to say, Elon Musk has not disparaged her yet, and we know that he is not known to mince words about his adversaries. But now we have the teeniest, tiniest morsel of evidence that — maybe, perhaps, possibly, if we squint our eyes really, really tight — something else could be going on. Yes, reader.

Jack Wallen/ZDNET There are so many Linux distributions on the market, and they range from the command line only all the way to functioning works of art. The majority of distros fall somewhere in the middle, of course, and that's perfectly fine because most users prefer a blend of aesthetics and functionality. That's why the likes of Linux Mint, ZorinOS, elementaryOS, and Ubuntu are so popular. But every once in a while, a team releases an update to its distribution that reminds you that Linux
