The crew of many cruise ships is over 2,000 people. If you paid each of them just $100 a day you would be at $200k. Factor other things like fuel, food, alcohol or maintaining a fucking cruise ship and this is trivial.

Surprised YC has to post on HN to get Google to notice whatever stupid shit they’re up to. Shouldn’t a miraculous startup incubator have industry contacts? Sad and pathetic.

That's just ignorant. I've been playing Mario Kart for decades and I know how to drive. It's not my fault if other drivers are terrified by my sudden maneuvers.

TL;DR: Talking head claims, without evidence, that non-carcinogenic nicotine fix is as dangerous as smoking. Won't someone think of the children?

> Also whenever it rains even a little, people devolve even more and go about 35mph on the freeway with no one in front of them. And God forbid it snows. Even with a light dusting people just stop on HWY 17 halting traffic for hours unti

Not a BMW driver but I never keep my blinker fluid topped up. In California, turn signals just telegraph your intent to make a move, giving other drivers valuable milliseconds to block your approach. The element of surprise is crucial to an

We need to be teaching kids offensive driving tactics. Too many drivers are passive and have no idea about the physical capabilities of their vehicles. This leads to more accidents than needed. For example, merging into the right traffic la

You can “choose” assuming you have disposable income. For people who need cheap clothes, food, etc. there is still a systemic issue of wealth disparity and unjust enrichment. It’s more than any one company, CEO, or consumer purchase and it

They missed the part where Google proposed to DRM the whole Internet for your health and protection. I’m glad EFF is still maintaining Privacy Badger though, it’s a cool extension.

It’s 2024. Why not just rip the band aid off and outright ban private transportation already? People should subscribe to transportation options from approved commercial providers, and they can pay for it with government-backed digital curre

Right, this site seems to be showing plugins that run in a DAW. But what about Linux DAW software itself? Does anyone have recommendations? I think Renoise is nice but it’s not as easy to puts around in as things like Ableton or Reason whic

I’m not trying to defend Apple but I think that line of thinking is pretty cynical and could be used to condemn basically any company or open source project that attracts enough interest for attackers.

This is a fairly incredible attack, and agree with your analysis. The hidden Safari tab portion where they “re-hack” the device could be bad organizational siloing as you mentioned or indicative of a “build your virus” approach that script

Code being technical debt is trivially false. Code is an asset. A house is an asset. A house falls apart if not maintained. So does code. That doesn’t make a house debt, nor code.

Newspeak 101: it’s sexist to assume that a malicious actor is male. Women can be malicious too! Other acceptable terms are: Woman-in-the-Middle and Man-or-Woman-or-Non-binary-In-the-Middle. Add that to your allow list.
