Computers can take input and handle it however the programmer wants in order to replicate ordinary steering. This is true in both games and in actual space. Why is everyone in this comment section seemingly unable to say anything negative a

Wanting something to be good and usable based on its name being exciting to you isn’t the same as it actually being good or usable. It’s astonishing that this was upvoted by 179 people. There are already hundreds of multiplayer .io browser

You believe you’re on a “pretentious news aggregator devoted to people trying to suckle on VC money to launch their next 'great idea'.” That isn’t lighthearted, it is a spiteful declaration that you look down on HN and everyone in

You just openly admitted you’re only here to subvert HN because you despise everything about it. Explain why you shouldn’t be banned at this point.

Between this comment and your submission history consisting almost entirely of FT links, you really aren’t trying very hard to conceal the fact that you work for FT. Why are links with paywalls even allowed to be submitted to HN? I imagine

Why do people upvote paywalled links? This post has 8 upvotes already. Why? Were those 8 people actually able to read the article somehow? Mirror without paywall: https://archive.is/r1cXt

How do people magically get their hands on these various substances and know that they’re authentic?

Tldr: Mr. Caulfield is upset that seemingly not enough people use control-F (or command-F on Macs) to quickly check whether a webpage actually says what another person linking to it claims it does. He claims that 90% to 96% of people don’t

No, it doesn’t. Your comment was fine. If your comment was a “just-so story” then the first two paragraphs of the linked article are also a “just-so story”. I see no evidence that the scientists were using guaranteed purebreed wolves, if th

So you just walk away from the sink and let a poisonous substance sit in your mouth while you slowly but surely swallow it all?

Why did you give the wallet to a random person you had no reason to trust when you could have looked at the address on the ID in the wallet and taken it there yourself?
