You say that like it's a bad thing in this context. Cars are (immensely) far from perfect, but hey, parts interoperability is non-zero and for plenty of cars (even newer ones) you …

I'm not even going to bother with the first two paragraphs here - you're mostly just going on about how you don't like the people on HN and don't think they're real hackers and the…

Because if the thing I'm doing is, for instance, making artisan screwdrivers, I don't spend my whole day making money. I spend my whole day making screwdrivers. If I love making sc…

> people make things for money, not love or art. ...you're on Hacker News. A significant portion of this website is just people talking about Open Source Software, something that c…

As someone who wanted to file taxes in Oregon this year without using anybody else's software, I was completely appalled by how inaccessible a system that literally every working A…

It's also worth mentioning that the name of the resource here was confusing - the author mentions that this happened because he mixed up how GitHub names profile READMEs for organi…

Yeah, but on the other hand, "don't make mistakes" isn't a meaningful or useful lesson.

The same thing that the cloud company would do. If there are other people there who share that guy's responsibilities, have them do it. If there aren't, you should have an on-call.…

This, honestly. It _feels_ more like the only people that care about SV censorship policies are the people affected by them: SV types that live almost entirely on the platforms the…

This is with the presumption that the filtering here is device-level and not user-level. The fact that they were able to wipe and reset the device AT ALL probably means that the de…

I think you are misreading the comment at the root of this whole thread. They aren't saying "if you go up a tax bracket, ALL of your income goes down because you pay more taxes!" b…

In the US in particular, it doesn't matter if the underaged subject exists or not, but I think you'll find the law much more loosely enforced in cases where the subject of the pict…

I feel like we have different definitions as to what clickbait is - when I see a clickbait video, I can simply identify it by it's title and thumbnail, I've never needed to look at…

I mean, not just perception issues, but also the fact that you're inherently setting yourself up to build a platform with a core userbase of "People banned from [the more popular v…

This. I find that the vast majority of cases where I'd pay any attention to the dislike bar are just cases where people are getting dogpiled for whatever reason (whether they deser…

This, not to mention it seems somewhat unproductive to lock off 99% of the internet because of information collection instead of teaching how to defeat those collectors. The kid's …

> Decades later, we're still hearing "crypto is a bubble." I'm still waiting for that to be true. Decades? With an S? It's barely been 10 years since Bitcoin's public release and t…

Is your argument here supposed to be "Nothing is all inclusive, therefore we shouldn't even bother trying"? If so, I'd argue that's a lot more ridiculous than a review process desi…

I mean, that's too literal of an interpretation. It's more like "if you don't need to, don't invent your own [x]." People who like to invent [x] are usually smart enough to underst…

You've never wanted to edit text/code on a computer that isn't yours before? There are a lot of cases where I can see this coming in handy for making quick edits as an IT professio…

Mostly to do with making sure their service isn't being used for spam, to protect reputation. Bad reputation can mean blacklisting which is a bad time when your service is centrali…

Like the guidelines say: > Please don't complain about website formatting, back-button breakage, and similar annoyances. They're too common to be interesting. Exception: when the a…

You can't socially outcast your kid like that. Seriously, any problems you thought they'd have because of Instagram are nothing in comparison to being a social outcast that never d…

> IRC does one thing and does it well. Unfortunately, the one thing that it does well (chat, and nothing else) is supported by a dozen things that it does terribly, and support for…

> Non-standard for-pay emojis are a terrible idea. Text should be copyable, by everyone, exactly as it is. I agree from a moral standpoint but because of the general use of emoji i…
