I maintain my position that "the content is horseshit" should be added to the list of reasons to flag a submission. Lot of poorly-researched nonsense stays on the front page far too long.

I miss phones with curved backs. Thinner on the sides than in the middle, I mean. They were so much more comfortable to hold than today's square slabs. https://www.tmonews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04&#

I miss when my bookmarks folder had a hundred entries in it instead of not needing bookmarks because there are only five websites. One out of a dozen people is capable of producing something interesting on a consistent basis, yet we've

I threw all my Google Home's into the trash after I told one to "shut the hell up!" and it started shaming me about being rude to it.

Exactly. The amount of money I spend that goes to recipients in a ten mile radius utterly dwarfs what I pay in property taxes.

It stopped being about reliability twenty years ago. Now it's about lining pockets. The current top of the line RAD5545 is based on a chip from 2010 with 45nm lithography. It consumes 20 watts to perform 3.7GFLOPS. A Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

All those things were horrible for us. I can't imagine the nightmare of combining that with the use of my real name. Like yeah, I want a free for all, but how bad does something have to be before we say no way?

On top of that, women are underrepresented at the highest levels of most fields Even with a truly even playing field, this will persist. The curve is simply flatter for men. Short of genetic reengineering, there will always be more men at

I've seen probably four or five different brilliant file transfer solutions that totally solved the person to person file transfer problem posted to HN and every dang one of them was shut down or abandoned.

After keeping track for a while, my conclusion as regards my inner voice is that it's an artifact of "paying too much attention" to what's going on in my mind. If I'm in a flow state I have no inner voice. If I&#x27

It's funny to me that the Assistant team knows how bad Maps is because the Maps integration is very good at ignoring insults appended to commands. For example, when you tell Maps to "Navigate me to Walmart" and then it asks y
