How come? Are you a tough guy who resorts to your fists when your fragile ego gets questioned? Imagine sitting there doxxing people over this bullshit. This needs an XKCD, "call the FBI, someone on the internet called me an ass". I'm sure you have 15 e-mails drafted already "Hey, are you aware that your employee has opinions online? It's not a good look for your company and you should do something about that." Get a…

Oh look the consequences of my actions. Good lord. I was just hoping you’d contact me so we could continue this discussion offline HN. I don’t think I’ve ever swung a fist at everyone, but that’s what I thought. You won’t contact me. Stay salty, and have a good day bro… edit: you’ve crossed the line from having an opinion to being an unprofessional jerk. I’m not anonymous, you are. I triple dog dare you to personally…

> Oh look the consequences of my actions.

Where? Did I miss it?

> you’ve crossed the line from having an opinion to being an unprofessional jerk

Nothing unprofessional about what I've said here in this thread, this is not my place of work, and I'm only calling you out on your bullshit. I'm not ashamed of bringing people back down to earth. Even if you were my employee I would speak to you exactly like this if this was how you acted towards colleagues, doxxing and threatening with consequences. Probably even harsher since I'm bound by law to provide a healthy environment.

> I’m not anonymous, you are

Should've thought about that before you embarrassed yourself bragging how you've fucked potential colleagues over with your power trip. That's where I got involved.

> I triple dog dare you to personally back up your comments, otherwise you are a coward and afraid of your own shadow,

Baiting me into doxxing myself isn't going to work, I'm not 12 years old. What would that even achieve? I don't feel the need to prove anything to someone on the internet. Even if you were to contact my employer the only one you would reach would be me, there is nobody else. Am I going to fire myself? Oh-oh, I hurt someones feelings, maybe I should liquidate my company.

> Like I said before, you would never make these comments to me face to face where I knew who you were and there were consequences for your actions lurking around the corner.

I absolutely would, especially because of your entitlement. And I would enjoy it. I've been called to HR in the past over showing statistics that women earn more in tech than men to a female claiming they don't get hired. The meeting concluded with them realizing they asked me to be sexist and treat women differently and chose my truths based on the gender I'm speaking to. Because feelings, not even being rude, simple facts are apparently offensive today and I'm not playing that game.

Discussions don't scare me. What would these consequences you keep threatening with even be? Outside of your bubble nobody cares. Since you're not anonymous and your environment seems to care about these things maybe stop digging further into it.

And it's a good law elsewhere? :) You're also welcome not to buy a phone for your parents. It would be disingenuous for me to suggest you actually do so, because we all make choices under duress or with limited options.

If this bad law were to cross the Atlantic I would still buy my parents their phones and deal with the situation. I’m glad I don’t have to while it remains outside the US. And I’m glad I don’t have to deal with it on my own phone, even if I’m better equipped to deal with it. And I’m glad people are still free to change to different browser engines inside the US without the law.

I'm really sorry that your emotional wellbeing is predicated on the exploitative practice of a multinational company. You should have seen this coming. Bell Telephone didn't get away from litigation for "securing" telecommunications infrastructure under one body. Microsoft didn't foil antitrust litigation for "protecting" users from third-party browsers.

Expecting Apple to escape broader antitrust scrutiny is a pipe dream. You should probably plan accordingly.

I envy you :)

Well, on the other hand it implies that most of my family is dead and buried already, and therefore would have a hard time annoying me with their IT problems. If that's a good deal is a matter of perspective ;)

A very good point.

I'm keeping this up because it's fairly entertaining and I've got nothing better to do. Do I seem even the slightest offended? I'm just curious to see how far you'll take it, now we're at "let's go outside, let's go outside", I'm just grinning and getting a kick from your reaction.

Me keeping my online and real-life presences separate has more to do with integrity than the opinions you see here. Even if I'm anonymous I'm never insulting or unnecessarily rude, you'll see me calling out people for being so though.

I'm the same IRL, since you've read my comments you know it's the controversies that get me going. That's where the interesting discussions are and what stimulates me. I'm used to the entire table loosing their shit and me calmly asking leading questions until they realize we're in agreement.

What did I say that had anything to do with emotional wellbeing?

What did I say that made you think I was unprepared for Apple to have to do this in the US?

Nah, you're just being a coward and literally hiding behind the keyboard. You're afraid of the professional repercussions and consequences. You've been able to read the room just enough to know that being obtuse and unnecessarily confrontational (I think you call it "calling people out on their bullshit") and then sitting back and giggling at the aftermath isn't necessarily an approach you'd want to tie your actual name to. A quick look at your past history shows this is your modus operandi. This is, after all, a group of professionals. And before you lecture ME on what this place is, remember you've been around here for 2 years, I've been around here for 14.

Even if I'm anonymous I'm never insulting or unnecessarily rude

Right. Ok.

It's adorable to watch you soften your tone as we get deeper into this. You've gone from "where do I sign up to tell you to go fuck yourself" to "I'm having fun and I like to watch the people get all riled up"

Then don’t offer an app. PWAs are worse than not having an app.

Until Apple nerfed them, they weren't for simple cases.

I don't think my tone is any softer, could it be you reading me with a different energy? I've been very calm throughout. It was a rhetorical question as a response to this:

>> I've had the distinct honor to witness many a person sitting across from me have the unfortunate distinction of being known by me in circumstances that were less than fortunate for them. And at the end of the day that can really affect how someone "gets paid."

And seeing you doxx and threaten people with "consequences". I see you've edited your other comment to address others who may be reading, and I'm the one getting cold feet? Why do you think people care? Who are you even? Are you important in Silicon Valley? This was also rhetorical, don't answer that I don't care.

Imagine measuring dicks over the age of our accounts. Does it give you the same warm fuzzy feelings as "owning" your iphone?
