NYC, for example, outlawed car alarms years ago, as it was a complete nuisance. Some are still grandfathered and some are probably illegally installed. I hear them sometimes, but it's pretty rare. When I was younger and lived in Jamaic

I pretty much caught on when I heard that I should "enjoy being poor" if I didn't want the easy money of crypto. But then again, I started hearing about cryptocurrencies in my late 30s, so this cat has caught some battle scar

The HN audience really fascinates me. I can never figure it out. It's supposed to be a place for intelligent discussion of technology but then you get QAnon adjacents hanging here as well. I recently discovered Ars Technica commenters,

If I were a BRAND, I'd probably hang back while the pizzagaters and the birthers are running wild on a platform, no?

I mean, Elon is moving into the Pillow Guy and Candace Owens grifting turf. That said - there is money in it.

Elon's little power trip as his own lord of Twitter Land and the King of the People is really going speeding towards pathetic levels. Who is he trying to impress? We know this is all an act, and the thin-skinned vulgarian will get al

I mean, the guy who told us all to "vote Republican" just a few days ago has zero agendas, amiright. Musk is not creating chaos on purpose [eye roll] - he does not know how to be a manager in a situation that is not a crisis diale

My Twitter experience has been actually very pleasant. It's easy to block trolls and bots, and what they did with automatically hiding low-rated accounts behind "expand to see more replies" was also a big deal, IMO. Seems lik

I don't think NASA "trusts" anyone. There is a level of scrutiny there that Musk's product receives that is way more thorough than what he gets from the so-called "board members", one of whom is his own brother

Unhinged tweeting at odd hours, erratic decisions, irritability, lack of sleep, extreme defensiveness, vengefulness ("let's shame the advertisers"!), demands for unquestioned loyalty. Where have we seen this before? https:&#

I want to see the Van diagram of the people who complain about these liberal activist shadow groups and those that support Citizens United. Lets really talk about dark money.

This is typical Conservative victimhood. These "activists" and their "agenda" are out to cancel a rich man because he is more successful than them. Or.. something. Or maybe it's just, you know, shocking incompetence

So far Musk has been very busy "fixing" the code, although it's unclear what the problem is, and creating actual product and business problems. Advertisers fleeing, the weight of the Blue Checkmark decimated - in just a few d

Well, you are not trying to operate heavy machinery with Amazon Echo - hopefully. Voice as a common interface - I agree with all of that, but to me the everyday utility of being able to add something to my shopping list or my TODO list with

Bold statement. "The Democratic National Committee emails, provided to WikiLeaks ahead of the 2016 election by Russian state entities posing as rogue hackers, are similarly missing."

10 years ago. This is blowing my mind. Truly amazing insight that early on.

That's not an excuse. If a bank can make sure that they do not mistakenly just deposit free money into people's accounts by mistake, they can ensure that a person who has left (possibly on bad terms) does not keep access to critic

Echo can actually tell you wind speed and humidity (with forecast). I use that a lot. Also, I like to run at dawn, so I often ask the Echo when the sunrise is.

By that metric, Donald Trump Junior is a prodigy. Leave it to HN to equate wealth with positive character qualities and the existence of a moral compass in the first place.

So he is micro-managing over a thousand (remaining) employees and personally responding to requests and comments from the general public on Twitter, while shit-posting at the same time. It's only a matter of time before his mind starts

Musk has been saying "I am the law" to multiple people. Like, saying that specifically. This dude is on a really out-of-control power trip. https://davetroy.medium.com/no-elon-and-jack-are-not-competi... --- Q:

The bigger question is why such a large bank does not have solid off-boarding procedures.

Counter-point. Musk has never been a genius manager or a businessman. His dreams of electric cars and space travel go back to his teenage years, and they happen to align with the vision of those who work for him overtime. These are passio

"Just a fucking website" is what Elon thought when he asked for code reviews. Just a few Perl CGI scripts stitched together by some Bash and some CRON jobs, fourth largest system in the world by traffic. You know, a website!

In the last few years this strain of neo-libertarianism has become rather distinguishable. It's a weird cocktail of shamelessness, anti-any-government, "nothing matters", "money is power", crypto and web3 scammers a
