Classic statistical correlations sold as newsworthy by bundling the Netflix name in it, even though it really has nothing to do with the company at all (beyond that Netflix does st…

Please point to the slightest inkling of "gratuitous negativity" in the above post, dear dang? Holy shit, HN is taking a perilous dive to absolutely shitsville under your profoundl…

Most people simply don't need this kind of storage anymore. But this is exactly the sort of storage the linked article is talking about . So your point is that I attacked a "strawm…

Is it irony that you're presenting an absurd strawman to demonstrate my purported strawman? I "attacked" (aka disagreed with) any broadly-targeted, generalist claims of the linked …

" Hi there, I'm very open to constructive criticism on my project but I feel that your comment is more of a strawman than particularly useful in any way. I had a look back through …

if you’ve got lots of money and you don’t care about how you spend it or translating those savings onto your customers This is a baseless, prejudiced claim, contrasting buying with…

but it's wrong to generalize it as a solution for everyone This is the fundamental flaw in virtually all quick-fix lifehack kind of pieces -- they project personal habits and faili…

Note that this story isn't really about vomitoxin, or about the permissible amounts of unpleasant stuff, at least not directly. While that was the lead in, the actual story was abo…

My reading of it is that the app on the phone is used to configure the button, and the button from then on operates independently (which would be good in that it would allows other…

They tell you specifically how much RAM you get, and there is no confusion. They also tell you exactly how much storage you get. In this case they very specifically tell you disk r…

The overwhelming majority of those "winners" fail. These funds aren't anointing the king, but rather are just trying to make a bet, and it's a bet they usually lose. As you said, t…

Everything is relative. When someone is defensive and self-conscious, it's incredibly hard to give feedback of any sort without them feeling "like an idiot".

Sure, it's not literally "apple is doomed" right in the title, but exactly the same kind of FUD BUT IT ISN'T FUD AT ALL. To make it even more comical, several of those posts are fr…

People who participate in this site can discuss whatever they want . Especially when the entire conversation is being roughly, and absurdly, directed. The fact that you would even …

Indeed, that is one boorish tactic of making a banal, sycophantic comment. The use of a garbage strawman really put it into a higher echelon. However I stick by my observation. The…

This just dropped by -4 in a ten second span (edit: moments after another -4), essentially confirming the suspicion. Do the moderators of HN have any comprehension of how completel…

I have had this happen numerous times, and the rapidity of the downvotes really makes me think it's an automated system -- that now that slowbans and hellbans are pretty widely kno…

"it doesn't take long at all to find some examples of recent poor Apple reporting" That has absolutely nothing to do with what I asked. Apple is an enormous company. They have enor…

but because many publications took it and used it to justify the "Apple is doomed" narrative which Marco personally doesn't agree with Show me one. Just one single example. I'll wa…

They are afraid that their criticisms will be magnified and distorted by the press and used as the basis of hit-pieces Hardly. Many Apple fans still operate as if it is some tiny, …

Whereas every company is falling over themselves to hire the 10x programmer. Is this true? I've been involved in a number of hires over the years where we quite specifically did no…

I'm surprised the John Gruber "little birdie" thing is treated as a legitimate source, especially in this case where it's outright absurd. John has retrenched to now Apple "basical…

Is this legitimately a bug, though? It could be tagged as a performance defect, but there is code like this through projects across the land. I think the reason this rubs some peop…

FWIW, virtually every small project post discussed on HN has a variety of people arguing that the name conflicts with some other small project. Maybe projects should be named using…

Despite your absurd lead in and desperate moderation, I'll repeat that you are simply wrong , and seem to be trying really, really hard to justify something. Something fairly obvio…
