Do politics really belong on HN?

This is a dangerous equivocation of the guilty with the innocent, and throws away completely the notion of "Better X Guilty Persons Escape than that One Innocent Suffer." Do school…

The culture of the people who make up these companies don't want to let anyone know what happened or let them appeal it, because they "know better" and are "in agreement" with unsp…

That's absolutely, most definitely not Kafkaesque at all! ;)

Inverted totalitarian corporate plutocracy that most people accept ubiquitously and brush off as a "conspiracy theory" until it happens to them.

This is a specious, chicken-little argument. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) of people on the edge is nearly 100%, and that consumption will inevitably lead to both corpor…

Don't do this. Industrial argon isn't necessarily clean enough for food-grade purposes and may well contain unknown / poisonous substances. You should know better than to make haza…

"Last" varies depending on if it's contaminated with Acetobacter or not, which can turn it to vinegar.

Awwh. They should at least keep the tourist location in SF. Many moons ago, it was a decent shop.

Attend UC Davis, and you too can smell cow and hog dung whenever the winds shift just right. ;-)

Koch billionaire libertarian propaganda farm that released look-alike "IPCC" reports saying climate change was a hoax.

Leave the Valley, it's too expensive. I grew up there. Only you know what career to pursue. No one else can answer that for you.

I would say "It's best to keep politics and any potential activism private, even if we happen to agree, out of a respect for professionalism."

Exactly. As an example, WASPs don't do that because they're too "nice," but will tell you about their prejudices if they trust you. They're fundamentally dishonest while wearing th…

I know what it means, but it depends on section 230 staying alive. I meant manufacturers suing users like restaurants suing yelpers. With such chilling effects, no one would want t…

NIH syndrome?

So vegetarianism, lots of b vitamins, folate, and blood tests?

IDSPISPOPD Edit: Why was this flagged? Is Doom offensive?

Lawsuits from manufacturers seems like how this would die.

It's where the bodies are buried by people who actually use products, not the usual glowing, happy-clappy nonsense of new customers or fake reviews.

I wrote one in Pascal about 1994. It was slow, but it worked.

Thanks. She found an affordable new construction house, somewhat in the middle of nowhere though. Yeah. If you don't have Prop 13, which was a one-time bandaid, or you're rich you'…

Political persecution of public interest dissidents at its finest.

Not there. Zoning laws there are very specific. Tiny houses aren't allowed. Used prefabricated houses aren't allowed either. And try getting permits or insurance for anything unusu…

Pure FUD.
