I was raised that two wrongs don't make right. I'll continue to take the high road. I don't need to score points against anyone else.

For any downvoters, please review the following https://t.e2ma.net/click/sv236h/8z0tiag/wa9559 It does not ban nor prevent the use of the word "gay."

That's a great angle, hasn't thought about it like that. I'm not sure it solves the "stack" problem that alternatives would face. Would that go so far as to regulate payment processors that are accepting and handlin

Does the bill in fact restrict anyone from saying the word "gay"? If not, continuing to use the misnomer is spreading misinformation.

Anything remotely politically polarizing on HN consistently brings out that crowd. The tribalism on HN is intense.

putting the erroneous media-assigned name of the bill in quotes doesn't make it any less erroneous. while the bill has flaws and is justly upsetting, we should not continue to propagate a falsehood.

Unsolicited feedback: That's a mouthful of a product name there. I can't reason how to properly pronounce it, and it's incredibly awkward to read visually. If you're looking for adoption and engagement with the project,

The prolific "threads" that have supplanted blog posts are one of the worst aspects IMHO. The threads get engagement, and that's addictive, but it's a horrible way to consume information.

Cursive is a practical (this seems to be the point most heavily debated) art form. At a point in every day use. I'm awful at it, but glad I learned it. My block letter writing is also far less legible than my cursive. I've just st

it wasn't warranted IMO. Topics on HN which incite feelings of insecurity, or which drag up strong negative emotions, tend to result in a lot of brash negative replies and a lot of sarcasm anymore. This topic seems to be striking a ner

I often see this sentiment associated with those who wish to regulate political speech they find offensive. It's convenient if everything is political so that everything said can be regulated.

I had no idea that was still around. Last time I used that must have been 2006. Incredible to hear about longevity in the industry like that.

In Florida there are specific legal penalties for injury from this, due to prolific generator use. The simple solution is to turn off the main breaker before plugging in the generator to the home/building. Interlock kits [1] are widely

Clearly you don't follow popular trends. What's popular and desirable changes frequently, and sometimes many times in the course of a year. This includes physical appearances. Social change can happen overnight.

Anecdotal evidence is a tricky thing. I'm over 6 foot and was the last to be married among two social groups in two different states, the vast majority of my peers significantly shorter than myself. And I wouldn't consider myself

That isn't even remotely a universal truth. I've been working remote for 14 years and of the companies I've worked for in that time, 2 were hybrid and the rest fully distributed.

This. And it just kills me how so many things "linux" look so unpolished. Why is it so difficult for projects like this to find and get designers interested?

They don't pay like Google (most of the time, I hear ML is wild with salaries) but smaller startups under 20 people have, in my experience, excellent pay with excellent work life balance.

Depending on the circles one frequents on Twitter, "blue checks" are trusted and respected, or mocked and distrusted. There's still no clear messaging on what it means, grants are seemingly arbitrary anymore. It's quite
