> The mere facts that these days, each new round of gimmickry that gets the prized label “progress” tends to generate more downsides than upsides, and that the shining future parad…

I don’t experience this. I love the internet more these days than ever. There are so many cool people doing cool things. I think a lot of this perception that everything is bad and…

The worst part is that for all of this, the App Store is still absolutely chock full of fraud apps, scam apps, and malware. They deny great apps, fail to fix their mistakes, and le…

In Germany it’s not just swastikas that are banned. There are people in the German government who decide what is banned and what is not, and the list is a lot more than [ “swastika…

Society has decided they want to do the thing that you say causes an ill. They don’t think it’s an ill. What right do you have to tell them that you know better for their life than…

Well, Instagram DMs have entirely replaced sms and phone number exchange for an entire generation. This is like saying “what benefit do teenagers draw from having a phone line?”

You are of course free to not view it. Why do you think that you should decide for others what they should view? How do you know better than they do, what they should or should not…

I’m curious the moral basis for which you have appointed yourself more qualified than the adult viewers themselves about what adults should be able to view in their web browser.

It’s success compared to the other possibility: not raising money and going out of business. We still cheer when a rocket separates from the first stage and ignites the next. Thing…

Sewers go places, and it is nearly a million liters of extremely concentrated stinky. If you do this, you take a single location source of stinky and smear it over a much larger se…

I think he meant a live edge wooden table, not a machine to slice trees.

A bummer? Jim, even whilst failing, is living a life better than 99.999% of humans that have ever lived, and surely better than 99% of humans alive today. He has access to SOTA med…

Amphetamine is no stronger or more treacherous than caffeine, when dosed properly. As someone with EXTENSIVE experience with both, I would say caffeine is probably substantially mo…

Not sure why you’re downvoted, this is HUGE. Most humans have a circadian rhythm that tends toward slightly longer than 24 hours, and waking up at the same time every day can be ve…

“How can we make this thing, that has nothing to do with us, about us and how good we are?” (top story on HN) I get it, Tailscale is great and all, but, are we being serious right …

Being on your LAN isn’t “hacking” anyone otherwise every hotel, airport, conference, and airplane would be unsafe.

Wrong. These are always humblebrags about how good their ability to learn from their mistakes is, and how robust they were before, and how they are even more robust now. The ones t…

Tainted food and unsafe children’s toys kill people. Sketchy devices on your wi-fi don’t really harm anyone. They’re a minor inconvenience at best, mostly to large corporations tha…

You seem to be implying that it’s somehow wrong or bad to hire people that you like versus people that you don’t. Lots of people prefer others who are like themselves.

My, and almost everyone’s, phones are used for revenue generation. Let’s not pretend otherwise. High earner or not high earner, $200/mo isn’t a lot of money anymore, which is why I…

I’ve lived in Europe for 18 years. People bike all winter in Germany and the Netherlands.

Tell me you’ve never slipped on ice riding a bike in Europe in the winter without telling me you’ve never slipped on ice riding a bike in Europe in the winter.

I’ve always been told when computer shopping to “buy the fastest cpu and the most ram you can afford”. This goes doubly for revenue-generating devices. My iPhone is the computer I …

> I get that people who are going to upgrade to the latest flagship phone every 18-24 months will probably do better with this, but realistically... those people are fucking insane…
