I went to a highscool where there were about 20-30 International Baccalaureate Diploma candidates and about 1200 students in regular, honors, and a handful of AP classes. My junior and senior year I was in all IB classes, but freshman and j

If there was more to your initial comment I could have said more, but you essentially said 'whatabaout you having a smartphone' and that was it. The sole argument was fallacious, and there was nothing more I could reply to...

If you're going to say I can't care about my privacy in relation to Alexa because of some other unrelated privacy concern then yes, it would be a whataboutism and I would call you out on it, as I would in any debate, because that

Wow, you sound like a major, self centered narcissist at the very least. There is nothing special about having children, and there is nothing you can learn that I cannot. If you really do have children I feel bad for them. In another commen

Perfect! Make sure you speak up so the AI can understand you and Amazon doesn't have to hire more poorly treated minimum wage employees to listen and figure out what you're saying

For your own comfort and convenience perhaps. For the environment and your health a car is almost always worse in every dimension

Wonderful, now my data can be harvested wherever I go instead of just in the privacy of my own home

This is a major oversimplification that is not at all feasible for most people. Sure, I could theoretically get an engineering position at Amazon, buy one of the highly desirable multimillion dollar properties within walking distance that s

That's a fair point, assuming you have service it could make it easier to find your specific location in case something happens. However, I'd be much more likely to recommend a GPS beacon specifically designed for this purpose rat

>That is exactly what it means So I can't criticize law enforcement because I'm not a LEO? I can't criticize a politician because I'm not in politics? I can't criticize a woman because I'm not female myself?

I found that example odd, as in my experience the amount of bars that don't hold your card while a tab is open is in the minority (I don't go to that many, but I actually can't think of any nearby that DON'T take your ca

>Why must you live 40 miles from work? If you're in a major city it just isn't feasible to purchase a home within walking distance of your business. In the Seattle area, for example, house prices would be easily over a million

by okmokmz 7y ago
That would be nice. Unfortunately, in some areas such as Seattle where I'm currently located, you would have to live hours away from any major cities to find anywhere where you could open a business and purchase a house walking distanc

Many of the "meal box" companies make the cancellation process very difficult, and it's one of the factors I use when deciding not to do business with a company. However, I agree that I am likely in a very small subset of use

It's the onus of the one making the claim to back it up. My 30 second google search didn't turn up much one way or the other so I can't say for sure. I was curious if you had read any articles studies to make you believe that

Yes, I feel the same way. I've lived in the Seattle area most of my life, and when I went to LA for college people would constantly talk about how much they hated rain, clouds, darkness, "cold temperatures" (which to them wa

I don't believe this is the case, do you have any sources to back it up?

Agreed, I've tried blue apron, home chef, and green chef and it has been an overall positive experience

It's pretty incredibly how many pro-pedophile and pro-rape comments there are on HN, although I'm not surprised as this isn't the first article I've experienced this in on this site 1. "The word 'assaulting pre
