Phone is now smart phone. TV is now smart TV. Very unfortunate. Glad my 2007 Sony Bravia still works, even if only standard HD.

I am a student of history and am offering the observations I see in regards to that. Your points are valid too and the narrative around the war. Another validation of my point. Nei…

Yes, and the price of oil has gone up 10% last I saw. United states domestic oil sells at the same price. Maybe not planned, but a reality. On the flip side the possibility this af…

I am making no implications of Trump, very on purpose to keep this in point (it's hard), but explicitly stating that the policies of the United States are based on capitalism and a…

Wars are almost always about commerce, history has shown that. Ideology is used to back the motive publicly, but the reason for involvement is almost always trade or commerce. This…

If the United States truly supported regime change there should be a clear next leader favored to succeed the Ayatollah, otherwise this feels more like a favor to oil companies, ra…

It took one obvious, obnoxious, and well infiltrated new music AI slop in the my recommended new music feed to finally turn me completely sour on Spotify. I was a prelaunch US user…

Avoiding copy and paste is the key for me to keeping my syntax memory.

What I don't understand is how the site will send the 2FA code request to the bad actors phone, instead of the real users phone? Is this not part of what makes it more secure than …

Can you explain this more, I don't understand Google authenticator completely? Could a bad actor spoof a 2FA as they can with an email, and capture your input?

I have started using —ahem— em dashes more regularly so people think I am as smart —well clever at least— as AI.

This is Spinal Tap.

I think the term for this would be "poser", the not cool sub segment of the cool kids.

Dogs, in the US, are no longer an asset to use as a tool, such as herding, but merely a companion in the vast majority of cases. Agreed they became what they were in order to be us…

It always fascinated me that particular behaviors, like herding, can be so ingrained to a particular breed of dog. The dog is no longer in a setting where this is crucial to their …

Yes, my thoughts exactly too. Not an endorsement by the way.

If the answer is the end of - I'll call it - "Consumerism", and the industries we choose to subsidize are those that are more essential to a community driven life (e.g. food, shelt…

You have a place to live and avocados now, that could be considered a win win. "Win" is such a subjective term as used here. The equation is not as simple as jobs lost equals bad, …

Recording and watching or listening to myself play has been very helpful for me. Even a temporary recording of just the current session, or most recent n minutes/beats would be nic…

I recognize the reference because of the tool. I remember the name because it's simple. The flavor itself is irrelevant in my thought process.

Urchin, the software name of the precursor to GA, has an umami flavor. I find the naming quite clever and easy to remember.

It is privacy oriented from the perspective of the company, not the individual. I think there is some value in that. Although it makes it no more likely to be secure or private for…

The petroleum age would seem an even more encompassing description along the same theory.

I found the job posting for Hadrius on the front page of Hacker News very interesting and would like to ask HN how they feel about it. However, there were no link for discussion an…
