I'm on a fuck off spree lately. So fuck off with what you think is important and not.

Do you feel woke? Fuck off. Do you feel threatened? Fuck off. Do you feel like an idiot? Fuck off. Do you feel I'm having a bad day? Fuck off. For the record. This post on Dr. Seus…

And to those that are offended by fucks; fuck off as well. That include anybody that cares to point me to HN guidelines. Have a nice weekend, but fuck off in the mean time

To those that find my comments offensive - fuck off

Nitpicking and a pet-peeve but Elon Musk is an African-American. You probably mean "black". They are not from Africa simply because they are black and for clarity we should stop be…

That would not happen in the America that we looked up at when I was a kid.

De-platforming for decades?

Either it will swing back or its momentum will topple the base with it. We've seen revolutions before and they were not pretty.

I find your comment offensive

When you read the Skunk Works book you stumble upon passages where the government has to pay for tools maintenance and storage after the project is complete. Some bureaucrat entity…

I don't know. I think I replied to assimilation of the idea of totalitarian regime institutionalizing otherwise mentally healthy people for dissidence to merely not letting them ve…

Yes but that won't stop you from drawing/rationalizing _any_ conclusions from a set of facts. Not all of them will be right and fewer even will make any sense. Which is indeed your…

How is that accurate? More, like, exaggerated to make a point but missing it by a mile. Soviets did not give airtime to pro-party ideologues to validate their position. There was n…

Ha, ha! Let me tell you what I think the Democrats believe. For one, that men can carry babies like in that Schwarzenegger movie! Generalizations are useful until they aren't! Let'…

What should we do about the 20%?

You make the argument against locking devices (which I agree with) for reasons related to that not deterring theft - which has a point. Thieves will not profile a person using a pr…

Think of it as a 'fuck you' to the thief and whoever might get the brick. Maybe you get that, otherwise you can be bitter all you want about the inequality and how stealing will re…

Yes. In a PC ecosystem this is true - physical access renders the machine in your control (modulo Intel Management System and other backdoor schemes). For Apple, there is a differe…

IKEA catalog is like the "I'm feeling lucky' google button. I guess we'll see soon what it means to get rid of it.

Yes. Some hard facts to knock that theory that today's computers are slow because they do a lot more stuff than 20 years ago. No, they do a lot more of _nothing_. Something that wo…

Yeah... No! I don't have an axe to grind here but indeed there are more than one way to compare a product. Air debit is only one dimension. You can pick arbitrary dimensions to com…

I could think of several reasons why regulation would not be a good idea. Cutting into pieces? Maybe, but how would you cut pieces of FB or Amazon that credibly resolve the problem…

This is probably the only recourse in this new age of AI bots deciding human affairs: - Seller is banned by an AI agent for arbitrary reasons. There is no reasonable phone recourse…

I was not entirely fair to you when trying to make my point. In fact I could see this exact argument of yours coming up and ignored it completely. What I want to say is that there …
