"Listen, I'm no doctor, but your shit stinks in a way that makes me think you need to see one," said while you're in the stall next to him, or any other time, couldn't hurt.

I am a good hacker, and I find this interesting. This is on topic and should not be flagged. When an influential tech leader says "Silicon Valley can’t be neutral any longer", I wa…

> people with real knowledge on the subject ...tend to be qualified to write a lot of books on the subject.

I don't think you're being fair. You're turning "I don't like the framing" into "a culture war".

> Every time I read about them arresting somebody... You're clearly not reading enough and are a part of the problem if you believe what you're saying to be true.

Indiscriminate can be defined as "done at random or without careful judgment" - I think the latter part of that definition perfectly describes ELITE. I find it nonsensical to dismi…

Most macOS keyboard commands that let you cycle between things (like windows or applications) can be "reversed" by adding the SHIFT key. So CMD+TAB+SHIFT cycles in the opposite ord…

Good luck trying to paint the picture that AppleCare is a waste of money. I've owned hundreds of Apple products since AppleCare became a thing. I've "had to use it" once, and that …

In the context of Hacker News, when the "worked conclusions" are that of an AI (however accurate or well trained), yes, I suspect that people tend to prefer that less than the opin…

I obviously can't say for sure, but my guess for why you're being downvoted: we don't need humans telling us what the AIs think. We're all capable of knowing that for ourselves. Wh…

You keep using the words "favorite president", yet the quote you're picking at isn't concerned with Zuckerberg's favorite president. The quote says "America's best president and 'i…

Do you have any links to where this plan is described?

I think ousting Musk would be a marketing win for Tesla, and likely the only path to staying in business at this point. Most people I talk to about Tesla, some of whom were diehard…

> This article is about the defunct online bank. Assuming you meant X.com (formerly known as Twitter) - in no universe is there a Twitter cofounded by Musk.

I've actually only put about 50k miles on myself, but it's still perfect for my needs. Battery health isn't at 100% any more, but I still get an actual 250-300 miles of range. Mech…
