Sure. Agreed. HN needs better discourse. Is there a “Delete Account” feature here? How do I go about deleting my account, including ALL my comments/submissions over the last 10 yea…

I don’t know which country you live in, but in the United States of America, all this talk of “fairness of law” is a fairytale at best. And no, you can’t convince me otherwise.

They need tougher laws & throw these digital attention whores into prison for 2 years. Deny them access to their IG, or all SM, for the entire time. Guaranteed to stop bad behavior…

Habeas corpus called & would like to be thawed from deep freeze. The presumption of innocence in American society died a long time ago, with Gitmo, CIA black sites & NSLs. What lit…

In a somewhat similar vein, learning & practicing “deliberate gratitude” saved my sanity. Taking a mindfulness class was what introduced me to the concept, but regular practice of …

This. So much this. FoE is attacked from both sides. Each with their own self-serving justifications.

From my point-of-view, two opinion points: 1. I am glad that 737 MAX has been grounded. May it stay that way, globally, until this issue is provably resolved. 2. The entire Boeing …

It’s thanks to crap like this & the total lack of original innovation on the iPhone platform, that I am seriously considering the Samsung S10, after 8 years of exclusive iPhone use…

Going through the images, I shake my head in disbelief. So much of “art” is selling crap to the filthy rich, who have nothing better to do with their time or money. Maybe, I don’t …

Once self driving vehicles are the norm, such rules would become default.

overpriced Bluetooth speakers What other BT speakers are quantitatively better and cheaper?

Vision is an important part of my navigational ability, but I can (very rarely) sense location with eyes closed - eg. with eyes closed on a train/airplane being able to guess where…

I am not sure what to make of this. My spatial sense is immaculate - I can sense direction/orientation extremely well - I have near-perfect recall of "way to destination" - so much…

Makes sense though. If your herd is being attacked by a pack of wolves, as long as there is someone slower/weaker/dumber than you, they’ll become the target and your likelihood of …

What's your beef with using "a lot of SaaS services, with no on-premises solution"? Why waste money by locking it into on-premises hardware?

Have fun trying to get it unfrozen. Why? Is it really that hard getting it unfrozen?

Merely sharing a strongly held opinion here. HP is the cancer of modern printing - anyone who crossed paths with their “region locked” printers/cartridges - can attest to that stat…

Not touching an HP printer with a barge pole. Fuck you HP.

Damn! So, practically, no modern processor (or consumer laptop, or enterprise server) is safe from Spectre? Time to go off the beaten path.

I hope they sue the underpants off each officer, their supervisor, the SFPD and the warrant issuing judge - who, in turn, should jail the person(s) providing the wrong IMEI, for pe…

Well, what now? What are these mothers going to do about it?

DNA = A blueprint for something that makes me unique , and the only known way to travel through time, into the future — in the most sentient form I know of — as a ”not me, but stil…

Yeah, well, that’s like, your opinion man. Good thing you don’t get to control who’s genes propagate and who’s don’t. All you can do is prevent your genes from being inherited. And…
