Incorrect. This is no better than people who claim writing is AI just because the author uses emdashes

You spelled "heroes" incorrectly.

Shit. I had a feeling I was fucking up on one of those. The other three are still massive franchises, though.

I disagree. They're not gonna give up the brand recognition to rename it. They specifically wanted "Electronic Arts". EA has Battlefield, FIFA, The Sims, and Madden. Those four alo…

Stop giving them ideas! :(

Stop worrying about what's happening outside the viewport. Your website has no right to care or even know what's happening outside the viewport. Anyone got a Tampermonkey script or…

Nah, I'd rather not. I want sites to center within the viewport, not the browser window. I keep my tabs in a vertical sidebar, and I treat the viewport as "the browser". I want thi…

Clearly you have a vested interest in the status quo of today, instead of understanding why the whole network was created in the first place. Your viewpoint enables billions of dol…

The main fuel is the "need" to have browsers that can execute code, coupled with the ability to transfer money via the internet. JavaScript was a mistake, e-commerce was a mistake,…

Bad actors have been social engineering passwords for years even before a single line of JS was written. Restricting the backend is a way of heavily reducing the attack surface. Th…

I think someone should ask Vint Cerf whether he ever intended the web to run executable code, and enforce that answer on the existing web. I bet the world would crumble. Good.

"Communism" is a weasel word in this context. Nothing about modern AI industry is anywhere close to what makes communism communism. Modern non-local AI is all about the highest val…

JavaScript (and other forms of executing logic within the browser) have made the situation worse, though. To me, there's a big difference between a domain misread and actively mali…

> and you miss a part of the 'square' when you are turning (the arc of the curve is not a straight line) This can heavily be mitigated through technique. If you walk straight and j…

Web security wasn't hard before we started trying to make the web a platform for full executable software. I never got hacked through the web before JavaScript (never got hacked af…

I know it's "against HN etiquette" to ask about downvotes, but may I ask why I got downvoted? If it's clear that ownership changed from the original hacker to someone else, why sho…

Who are you to decide that?

Turn off your dark mode reader extension

Unfortunately we also have parents who think that is all absolute bullshit and fail to give their kids access to that medical expertise. We also have parents who believe in "junk s…

If you claim that it's impossible to know if others are conscious, then I posit it is also impossible to know that you are conscious. You might be sure of it, but I'm not. It's not…

No. Parents are often the least informed and least capable of making proper medical decisions for their children.

They should be required to unban a console given a clear proof of purchase from a previous owner

And just like that, you're part of the problem

This is why hacking consoles is paramount. These companies don't want you to be able to preserve what you paid for, and hacking enables that. Thank god we figured out the encryptio…

Commerce should never have been made possible to happen on the internet. The moment it became possible to send and receive money through the internet, the end times began.
