HIMYM was still going strong beyond the 3rd season. People don’t like the ending, but seasons 4, 5, 6, and 7 were damn great.

The game changes in dimensions beyond synergies and quests. For instance, there are new runewords. D2 is the pinnacle ARPG with a die-hard community, so even minor changes to area levels, runewords, or skill attributes can open up all sorts

This comment settles it for me. You’re thoroughly way too hyperbolic in your assessment. If this was closer to reality you’d have been able to state your case in clear, realistic terms. That’s something no one has been able to do so far.

These were at least valid evidential concerns, not something completely made up.

That’s a pretty hyperbolic response. There’s always a risk that mismanaged use of energy results in us never reaching Kardashev Type 1 (i.e. we destroy the habitability of the planet before we get there).

I can imagine NA cuisine being no more unified than Mexican, Tex-Mex, New Mexican, Oaxacan, California Mexican, et. al. are under the category of “Mexican”. I grew up on Tex-Mex and I was dumbfounded at the sight of a wet burrito?? But you

The oceans are pretty big though. Adding more cables right now isn’t a heavily constrained space. So yeah you have some giants laying their own. However, I don’t think that more privately owned links is necessarily a sign of power concentra

What impact would this have on elliptic curve cryptography?

Current plans are for it not to be serviced. Considering that it’s sitting way beyond the moon at L2, it’d have been out of each even for the shuttles when they were still in service.

I tend to agreed because I’m very likely to retire/be financially independent much, much earlier than 65 thanks to my tech career.

Silver lining is that I don't see any RSU compensation listed in my report! That's the biggest chunk of my earnings anyway, so that should be fair game during negotiations.

It’s easy to ignore that statement since it only really applies to the US. In most other markets Apple does not dominate on the order of >50%.

Another way to look at it would be to characterize the practice of monetizing surveillance as unethical such that it motivates Apple to make changes to prevent it. A revenue stream disappearing that never should have existed is a feature, n

Really get annoyed when publications introduce an acronym yet never define it. That’s 101 of writing. Thanks for doing their work for them :)

Access to audiences beyond a handful in size are much rarer than what you can easily find online.

It brings me no pleasure in addressing this reality. Many conservatives are fine people, but the damage done by Republican media outlets is undeniable and it stifles advancement to the detriment of all. This is why my comment was really abo

Who cares that Starship is a SpaceX property. Focus on the capability - which no one else has - and the ends - Hubble sitting in a museum instead of burning up in the lithosphere. You want to dislike SpaceX then go ahead, I don’t think anyo

Just as a reminder, HN isn’t a place where it’s acceptable to appeal to downvoters as a tactic for increasing the legitimacy of your comment.

While I’m in the doesn’t-mind-paying-for-multiple-subscriptions camp, I do feel like we’ve been here already and it was super clear to see that once all content was natively digital that we’d regress back literally to what we already had wi

Humans are very emotional creatures. A quote from Interstellar which I rewatched recently comes to mind. Their robot TARS says this when asked why his honesty parameter is set to 90% instead of 100%: “Absolute honesty isn't always the

I think you’re saying exactly what OP was implying. Persecution as in legal consequences. “You can say whatever you want, but we’re going to ask you to leave our private establishment”.
