   > is not mobile optimized Good! I do not want any mobile-optimized webpages on my mobile phone. That's what double-tap-to-zoom was invented for, and now pinch-to-zoom.

   Every month or so I just bookmark all the tabs that I have open and never got around to getting back to, and place them in a folder which I'll probably never look at again. I tell myself that one day when I have the time, I'll go

   The power company would notice the discrepancy between the sum of reported energy use of the houses vs the actual energy used in that neighborhood and track it down.

   Yep. I'm using a VPN right now, but I only looked up my latest account. I'll look up my old HN accounts later on a different IP/VPN service.

    Is it easier to kill people who have no privacy? History shows us the answer to that question is "yes".

    There is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_alternate_reality_game... but they look like they're all complete except one where the "prizes" are just clues about an upcoming game release.

    There's an achive link in the top comment, and I think replying to that with the original URL would help rather than making fact of the change burried in the comments, but I can't reply to that archive link post.

    I think crypto companies should block withdraws for a period of time after a password recovery. (OP, you are calculating your losses, but didn't specify what those losses were. Did the theif get your crypto?)

    Some people are just built that way. I imagine many people here on HN could cope with isolation pretty well (I know I can). I imagine that's something NASA would have screened for too in its Mars mission selection.

    I recently heard Project Hail Mary mentioned. I didn't know Andy Weir wrote a third book until that moment. It's a great novel on par with The Martian, and after the success of The Martian, I'm surprised I didn't hear

    Do you have any ties to Apple? That is the most ridiculous implication. 'We did not expect anyone to read the terms of the product, so we shouldn't have to deliver on what we promised.' That is not resonable. Apple is using w

    It wasn't worth escalating for me, and I have no idea if it fell through the cracks on Toyota's end, or they bet that either I didn't know the law or wasn't going to take action. (I appreciate you mentioning that in cas

    Toyota ignored me when a dealership did a 10k service that I did not agree to (there was only 2k miles on the car at the time). Thus when I went to to a dealerahip for my 10k service (with an actual 10k miles on the car), they wouldn'

    I think support people will claim they can't hear you in order to get the caller to hang up so it improves their metrics (short call time and the caller hung up). I always say "I have plenty of time and will wait until you can hea
