Do you really keep ten cards in boxes just to brag on Hacker News? Geez, our industry has gotten pathetic.

Are you capable of providing a counter argument or are you as boring as you are arrogant?

I understand the need to shame this platform, but why expose all their clients to this much risk? This disclosure here just named a whole bunch of clients. Why?

I get that it’s fashionable to hate big companies but you’re working overtime here. It’s reasonable to assume that a bug was fixed when reported. And if you think your monitoring is 100%, you don’t know what you’re talking about. If you con

I don’t see the sliding scale - if the website didn’t want a bot they could have blocked you. They clearly don’t mind so what’s the issue? You still used a bot.

This is a whole lot of things you want and feel entitled to. Nobody has to cater to you - we can block whatever we want to block. And if our poorly designed sites bother you, that’s too bad for you. But your wants are not my problem. If you

What exactly are you arguing and why? 70,000 is a lot of stolen phones. The number of thieves is irrelevant.

It’s not subtle when you point it out - you’re looking for a different phrase entirely.

Dumb is too simplistic, but they sure don’t pass for being human. That would be the intent of a Turing test… not IQ.

I think the consumer profiling side is more compelling (and likely) than blackmail.

Cooking an excellent steak consistently requires paying attention to many small details and executing each perfectly. Individually with the exception of choosing a steak, they’re all quite easy. Taken together, it takes a relatively uncommo

This is excellent work! You’ve got a 49 year old and a 10 year old equally into it. That’s impressive - nice work.

I hope you’re right because I like the film industry a lot. But I worry this will be a repeat of the model versus cgi thing where many of the purists were converted by the cost to get the picture they can seen in their minds get made and se

Environment Canada’s testing found it ‘acutely lethal’. I’d consider composting an acutely lethal substance that is extremely high in salt to be the dumb idea. Canada actually has scientists. From reading through these comments, I know that

The scientists who have been testing it since 2016 have looked at the evidence and they disagree with you. CBC had to do an access to information request for the results - it took four years. Here is their coverage: https://www.

This sludge was actually tested and analyzed- it’s not compatible with marine life and would in fact cause an ecological disaster. It’s why they’re mixing it with peat moss and also why they’re doing the work now - the factory itself has be

In 2016, they dumped forty bats into the ocean but Environment Canada did some testing on the sludge and found that it would kill fish within five minutes. The environmental cost would have been obscene - it’s acidic, extremely salty and ha

They would have been picked out of thin air. That’s the joy of innovation - you have to randomly throw prices against the wall and see what sticks. The point where it sticks might be equilibrium or it may be an inefficient market… and nobod

That’s a slightly naive view on pricing. That equilibrium point doesn’t just magically appear - it’s found through price testing.

What would be the alternative? You’ve got the government funds absolutely everybody on one end of the scale. Where do we find a reasonable alternative?

You’re all getting some concepts mixed up here. That five year amortization rate is the IRS’ usual amortization rate for computers. GPUs are classed as computers for asset depreciation purposes. But GPUs are part of 168(k) so they’re eligib

Preschools decorate lists with little pictures on the sides. In most preschools that I’m aware of the person who makes that list makes minimum wage and has 4-8 children to keep alive while she’s making that list. This is such a weird thing

by hluska 3mo ago
Bud, you went on a rant about art in a preschool. You wrote paragraphs about a list that someone who quite likely makes minimum wage put together while keeping 4-8 children alive. You already sound pretentious - that ship sailed a long time

I don’t understand this modern trend where people will put pictures of someone’s menu up, roast them, fall all over themselves talking about how over the food and still hit publish. What is the fucking point?

Do you know their entire roadmap? If not, maybe different people prioritize things differently when they see their full strategic position.

Samuel Slater did not bring blueprints over. His father died when he was 14 and he was indentured to a mill at that time. Over the next seven years (as an indentured apprentice) he received some pretty decent training in both how to operate

I have a lot of trouble understanding how Subaru dashes turned into the modern monstrosity they are. They were very functional and well laid out for years. Now, geez, I’d need to be an octopus to drive a Subaru.
