Is Product Search Broken? Why Are We Still Stuck with Ads and Fake Reviews?
2 by nicola_alessi | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, I’ve been thinking a lot about how broken product search is today. You type in a query, and the first page is just ads, SEO-optimized blogs, or fake reviews. It feels like the system is designed to waste our time rather than help us. For example, I was searching for a decent pair of wireless headphones under $200. After an hour of scrolling through Google, Amazon, and forums, I found a thread on Reddit from 2019. Guess what? The recommended model was discontinued. This made me wonder: Why are we still stuck with ads and fake reviews? Why hasn’t anyone built a better solution? What would your ideal product search engine look like? I’ve been exploring some tools that claim to solve these issues, but I’m curious to hear how you handle it. Do you have any tips, tools, or tricks to share? Let’s discuss!

New ask Hacker News story: Debian Testing/Trixie removes systemd-resolved

Debian Testing/Trixie removes systemd-resolved 6 by iam-TJ | 0 comments on Hacker News. Debian's systemd maintainer today removed both systemd-resolved and systemd-nspawn packages [0] from Testing/Trixie/Debian 13 - soon to be in feature freeze - due to disagreements with the Technical Committee [1]. For operators already using Testing/Trixie/Debian 13 this will lead to dependency version conflicts and/or loss of existing service; for upgrades from Stable/Bookworm/Debian 12 likewise. systemd-resolved package depends on the exact same version of other systemd packages. When they try to upgrade to newer versions the installed-but-orphaned systemd-resolved package will prevent it unless it is removed. New installs can use resolvconf.
