So why won't they just relocate us en masse to Manila so that a customer from an English locale can speak to someone speaking proper English while I enjoy local pancit, lumpia and …

There is some fear mongering, because - China. I wouldn't want to send even the dumbest of my half assed of my ideas to their servers... but then, could be a vector for some shenan…

That's true, but it's as if the crow flies straight to the back as opposed to figuring out where they decided to put Rx bars this week. It takes me longer to park then walk in/out …

The users are the problem. It's not the same as gun control, but smells a bit similar. Let's revisit this when Apple ships? I wonder what the sentiment will be then. In the meantim…

I hope that Costco continues to sell its $4.99 rotisserie chicken at loss of untold millions USD a year, I couldn't make it as good at 3x the price. I guess they make it up in volu…

FMJ references this, I believe - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rifleman%27s_Creed

I lived there (Odessa, mostly), till late teens. The QoL highly depended on who you knew, how to steal and how to bribe and barter, on all levels of society. You could live very we…

Hi Matteo. I can't quite collect myself on what to say. I'm here to listen and converse with like minded individuals and perhaps make some pen pals. I use Wikipedia for what's disp…

That's two AI smells. AI likes to say vacuous punchy statements like "the final takeaway" or "here's the rub". Then contrastive parallelism "connections, not CPU". Contrastive para…

if gov were to remove these artificial (B)EV tax benefits then we would really see what would people choose, but gov is completely influecing the market, so people just do what is …

I am not judging "Wikimedia Foundation", I am "judging" the product. Why is it insane? (btw, strong word you chose). It looks the same as it did on my Blackberry 20 or so years ago…

Hi there, thanks. I scanned through them. Bots, scraping, was there something that's interesting, no sarcasm?

Where?

I drive a Hyundai Ioniq 5. It charges fast(er), rides nicer than a Tesla and carries no stigma. However, Tesla is the only manufacturer (in US) that has FSD. Having experienced FSD…

Hey, I am the "offender". I upvoted your comment. I don't know the answer, HN is kind of the last bastion of sanity for me as a Usenet refugee and it's as close to that that I have…

Well, that’s what the output looks like. Like a barebones phpMyAdmin query result from 20 plus years ago.

That’s the thing, the $10 is not my threshold, it’s the value of what I get for the $10. I don’t need to eat it all today. I’d rather spend $5 but I don’t want to waste $5 on fille…

Yes, so? If you are here you could clone that thing in a weekend, no? You’d be the sole Chairman, CEO, and Supreme Leader for life. Wikipedia needs to be eminent domained, but we c…

I don’t “understand it” because it’s an antagonist relationship, us vs them. How’s that solved anything ever without violence? I don’t know what the solution is, we’ve tried a few.…

They have enough employees to need a union and a board? It's a CRUD PHP site that I could run from a VPS (joking ofc, but not that much off). I've never worked in an industry where…

I think we are knocking on the door of almost there, at least in the US from my armchair. Things weren't "that bad" in 1917ish Russia, it was a slow gradual imperceptible decline a…

That’s rather uncharitable. I shared something that I like because another submission made me think of it. Nobody was incentivized to read my post. If others found that useful, yes…

We are stuck with CSS, but all these CSS styling frameworks just tell me CSS needs to be bulldozed. I looked up DaisyUI that you mentioned. The example on the home page gets rid of…

Thank you. If you have a Trader Joe’s near you (it’s a chain in the states for anyone wondering), they have a pretty good chilly paste named “Bomba Hot Pepper”. It has a punch, but…

OP here. Apologies if I overstepped, but it is kind of about hacking the prep. I was simply piggybacking on another thread about ramen, I wasn’t thinking of the hacking angle at th…
