I get your point, but again, that’s not relevant to the point I was making. You posted a terse comment with some HTML. I responded specifically about that comment and HTML. And you’re now elaborating on things as a rebuttal to my comment de

You can also introduce subtle bugs by not closing them. Or forgetting which tags can be closed and thus leaving the wrong ones dangling. So I think your argument here is tough to take at face value. It feels a lot more like you’re arguing p

I don’t think tables are human readable in any machine readable format, not even markdown. The problem is when you have long cells that you’d normally word wrap inside the cell, everything else ends up misaligned in your markup language. Or

You’re welcome to your own opinions but some of your arguments here are trivial to debunk. Literally the first article on the BBC News homepage is an about Iran with accounts from doctors and others critical of the regime. This is the exact

I understood you meant bilateral symmetry. And yes, there are similarities, but we are not bilaterally symmetric. At least not to the extent where you can flip an image and have that look normal. Even faces look weird when flipped that way

And before that it was the “recycle mode” that actually bricked the hardware thus contributing to e-waste: https://www.whathifi.com/news/sonos-explains-why-recycle-mod... Sonos did revert that decision after mounting p

Humans aren’t symmetrical though. This would more like zooming into one edge of a snowflake and then rotating it.

Sonos gets backlash every few years and they don’t change. It’s almost as if consumers are shit at boycotting companies. Which does make Boses move even more impressive when you think about how it wouldn’t have affected their business to do

As I’ve already told you, the industry says they lose 1.6% to shrinkage and theft is just a subset of shrinkage. So your figures are flat out wrong. And I get it’s a gross figure, I was just putting it into simple terms for you because you’

by hnlmorg 10mo ago
Those figures aren’t accurate (eg shrinkage is estimated at around 1.6% and theft is just one of many factors that contribute to shrinkage, so the actual percentage for theft is going to be even lower) but I’m done arguing with you because

I wasn’t dismissing theft and supermarkets do not have 2% of their stock lost through theft (if 1 in 50 items were already stolen then that supermarket is dysfunctional at preventing theft). Thus what you’re describing simply has no basis i
802.
by hnlmorg 10mo ago
I literally said that. The part you missed is that supermarkets sell a significant amount of stock. If shop lifting is a serious enough problem in a particular store to make it financially unprofitable then there’s more at play than just t

The markup is around 30% or higher on each item (or at least that was the case back when I last studied business) I get there are overheads but that’s spread across all products and supermarkets have a lot of products. So you’d still have

I get why most modern sites are designed the way they are. I wouldn’t want my bank nor government websites to be cartoony. However game websites are going to be used heavily by people familiar with the game. Also, if the game UI is unfathom

My point was that your comment was a low effort personal attack and contributed nothing. As well as itself being ironic. The HN guidelines explicitly say one should avoid such comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguide
