Can you please explain this, because I frankly don't understand your thinking.

Yes! You should absolutely always assume a random stranger on HN is outright lying about a trivial anecdote to farm meaningless karma.

I average 20-25ms at my lake home in Central MN on Starlink Residential lite; very similar to my Comcast Business connection at my house. It’s crazy to me, frankly.

If your cats picked up a fork, it would be to eat you after they killed you in your sleep; but, I could see how that could be considered “scratching an itch.”

I am choosing not to get involved in a discussion about tax policy miniutiae as I am not an expert in any related way; instead, I wanted to provide factual context to the oft-repeated 'America was better in the 1950s due to the tax rat

Many outlets are quoting Morgan Stanley analysts suggesting they’ll start at $150K. Here is a non-paywalled article that has some info about the MS claim: https://www.automotivemanufacturingsolutions.com/automation/...

In Fahrenheit 451, books are destroyed to keep people distracted, shallow, and easy to manage, which is not far from today’s social media obsession where endless scrolling replaces actual thinking. What Bradbury imagined as a forbidden act

While that may be true, software for this would never become commonplace nor useful. Why? Because: 1. They’d never enable it for the final bill and thus all prior changes would fall under legislative privilege and thus the public would neve

I am not going to argue about the design looking “good” or not, but it’s irrelevant if the device doesn’t do what it says it does. The reason AR glasses are chonky and not sexy is because they have a bunch of hardware and batteries and what

You’re being purposefully obtuse by indirectly saying that TV of the past is somehow ok, when previous generations argued much the same against it.

Neglectful; sure. Child abuse; hardly. Please let’s not degrade the meaning of child abuse; it’s detrimental. These same arguments were put in front of the public when TV was released. A steady stream of boob-tube content was seen as a detr

Gen X. Own a record player. Listen to vinyl as “intentional listening” and love the album cover art. My daughter (Gen Z/A) could play her albums but doesn’t. She puts them on display in her room. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Isn’t this how all software development works? Folks commit code, it’s tested, and reviewed, and then deployed. Why would this be any different?

Yeah; mine ran very stable at 466 for >decade. It was impressive. You could attempt to head toward ~700 but I never could keep it stable there.

It’s legal to pass on the right here in MN. States should enforce left lane for passing only, but they don’t. This creates a situation where the left lane has effectively become the right lane and thus you can use the right to pass instead.

Free software has always been about standing on the shoulders of giants. I see this as doing so at scale and thus giving up on its inherent value is most definitely throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Less popular because it’s not feasible for many. I live in MN. Biking 20mi to work when it’s -10F and in 6” of fresh snow on top of the 12” received so far this season just isn’t something that’s safe to do. Please don’t make it seem like i
