Wise of you to be using 5-digit years. Really preempts the "but what about 8000 years from now" questions.

You're right, my bad.

I don't recline my seat, partly out of respect for the person behind, but mostly out of not wanting to have to deal with someone with your kind of attitude. It's not the person in front of you's fault that the little bit of c

I think at least one take on this is that people see it as paying for the content of streaming subscriptions, not the streaming infrastructure itself. So the idea of paying for the infrastructure needed to see the content produced by your s

I think 12th based on (and I cannot emphasize this enough) vibes instead of data would be fine. 10th definitely feels too soon (it's basically the 9th), and the 11th still kinda feels too soon too. If anything, I'd argue it should

I guess the problem is the shift just felt gimmicky. Personally, I'm with you though. If you're a MLB hitter who can't hit a giant opposite field hole, that's kind of too bad.

You're completely missing the point of my original response to you. You're sanctimoniously telling "us" to make milder accusations, then nearly immediately accusing us of being against law enforcement. That is an entirel

It'll help make you look like someone who actually practices what they preach.

My proposal is that you drop the holier than thou attitude.

Vietnam traffic was absolutely mind blowing to me. Especially the awareness and care that cars, buses, etc, seemed to have. That said the safety stats still aren't that great for scooter/motorcycle/bike riders there.

Having worked in professional kitchens, my experience is that nothing predictable happens. It depends not just on management, but also on the personal relationship between management and the person, and on how bad the current market for sta

Unfortunately, a "marketplace" is precisely what I don't want from a lot of the commerce sites that include them on top of their "first party" inventory, and they're seemingly becoming ubiquitous.

Man, I don't think this co-mingling thing was big or existed when I moved to a country that Amazon doesn't ship to directly almost 6 years ago. Reading about it on HN makes me feel fortunate. I can't recall ever running into

Do you mean hazard as danger or hazard as luck/random?

"Cowards" implies they're doing this against their will.

It's an example of an inconsistency that people have when it comes to what they're willing to eat. It does not have to be a universal truth.

No, I mean the machines that now handle cash payments at many businesses, accepting cash and returning change. They're increasingly common here in Portugal, at least.

by rkomorn 1y ago
Somewhat tangential (sorry), but in my part of southern Europe, cash change machines seem to be getting close to ubiquitous. I wonder if that hinders tax evasion at all since there's presumably a pretty reliable paper trail of cash tra

I find this to be an interesting thought.

The point of horses was an example of an inconsistency. Saying "I have a counter example" doesn't create a relevant discussion. It doesn't make the horses example any less of an example of an inconsistency. Edit: not onl

Isn't that about as tangible as "don't write bugs"?

I'm not sure how "it's okay in <country x>!" is really relevant, TBH. There are plenty of places where it's not considered okay by a significant portion of the population, so it's a pretty valid to use it

Sarcasm aside, yes, I 100% agree with you. When the "why" isn't explained, you end up with things like someone refactoring code and spending time (at best) trying to figure out why some tests now fail or (at worst) breaking s

Now that looks like sarcasm.

Sometimes I wonder if I really do just need to add /s every time I'm being sarcastic.

I don't think many people live entirely ethically consistent lives. I sure don't. That doesn't necessarily make every ethical boundary they try to have "virtue signaling".

It's probably because a lot of people see whales and other large sea mammals (and some large land mammals) as much closer to humans than say, tuna. I'm not going to argue about whether or not that's a correct take. And yes, t

They were responding to me and I have no issue with their answer (although I don't particularly agree with it). Take your attitude somewhere else. It sucks.
