You could also do some sort of “Tell HN: this is why I moved from tech to law and back” post, although it does seem like the site penalizes those sort of posts so it might not be very visible either.

Only in a world where facts don't exist and truth is just a matter of opinion are conspiracy theorists and grifters simply people you disagree with. And in any case, it doesn't have any bearing on the fact that Rogan claims to be

I corrected it to "the person with the correct info" - it doesn't affect the point of what I wrote. I dislike Rogan because in listening to him, this is almost all he ever does: let conspiracy theorists and grifters speak on

Exactly. Here's a prime example: Rogan incorrectly stated on his show ( as fact , not as his opinion or belief) that children who receive the vaccine have a 4-5x higher risk of getting myocarditis. His guest, who has the correct info,

Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting. From the guidelines.

It is not in any way trivial to self-host video these days. In the past when video was a novelty and no one had any real expectation of performance or quality, it didn’t matter much because expectations were low. But so much work has been d

It's not happening as much with Android because Google has a vested interest in making it easy for people to be tracked, so it has fewer restrictions on doing so. The "Ask not to track me across apps" feature on Apple is what

The first “trick” you linked to was a bug in a library that they already open sourced before the issue was raised. Pretty clear that it wasn’t nefarious or intentional and shows they didn’t in fact copy the clipboard contents.

Yes, that's exactly what I said. The feature is designed to address the "somewhat bad friend" case, not the "terrible friend" case. Both of those kinds of people exist in the world. Reducing the chance of something

Yes and some people are somewhat bad friends, and will share them, but not if there's a small barrier to overcome, as it's not worth the effort. And people are terrible friends and will take the time/effort to bypass any meas

There is an enormous difference between a tie rack (or any commodity, including digital ones) and a letter or photo of a personal nature. There is nuance in this situation that has to be understood and recognized in order to evaluate why th

Your analogy is not relevant at all to the situation. It's completely reasonable for someone to give you a letter or photo of a personal nature and ask you not to share it (or simply expect you to understand that it's not to be sh
