You seem toxic with this completely unnecessary gatekeeping attempt. I bet working with you is a joy. Let me put it to you this way, if your concept of competency in this industry is driven by knowledge of tabloids and not actually skill an

I'm shocked to see a post of such low quality on hacker news. It reads like an instagram post or twitter replies. I'm not familiar with "theregister.co.uk" but I honestly think it's the lowest quality article I&#x27

I would lean the opposite direction. I switched from a Vizio TV to a 144hz ViewSonic monitor and the difference in gaming is night and day. It's not only a better image with better colors, deeper blacks, better looking sharpness and st

"Why do you need me to name a person impacted by cancel culture? Because you lied to push a biased and false political narrative, and when challenged, you admitted it. I wanted you to substantiate your beliefs because I knew you had fa

So, to be clear, you cannot think of a single youtuber who was "cancelled" unjustly, despite writing a statement which implied that most of the cases were unjust as a rule? To be frank, this is exactly what I thought, and really c

"and you get cancel cultured (some cases, it's justified. But is it always?)" Feels like you're just trying to make a political comment here. Do you have a list of Youtubers who were unjustly "cancelled"? The w

When Pokemon Go switched from Gmaps to OSM, the quality drop was dramatic and noticeable. I want OSM to be a real competitor, but I think it represents a perfect example of how difficult it is to compete with Google Maps. It counts as &quot

Why is airplane mode a fair distinction? You can unplug a listening device or put it on a timer plug so its only active for certain hours. If it's possible that your cellphone could lie to you and monitor you, then it's equally po

If running a business wasn't profitable no one would do it. Simple as that. Running a for-profit is not altruistic. It's not a service. You're not serving your community. It doesn't make you inherently good. People run b
