What an amazingly deep analysis of a person's mind just based on a few words.

There's a lot more to it than that though, especially if you're targeting normal people and not the HN crowd. What if the subtitles are delayed? What if there are problems with the encoding and there are question marks all over th

So your experience is the correct one, and others just haven't gotten it yet?

by salvar 9y ago
Well, human conveniences tend to be convenient to humans. So I guess that's why we don't get rid of timezones.

Yes, and many other things can change as well. What was the point exactly? Please note that I said "standard" workday, implying that workday is in fact a thing that can change but tends to be roughly standardised in most places.
216.
by salvar 9y ago
Sure it does. If "day" refers to how many daylight-hours coincide with the standard workday. Which the grandparent was doing.

Yes, I was precisely referring to this particular person. Thanks for the honest debate.

When you say "doing proper criminal background checks", do you mean "making sure no one who has re-entered society after serving their sentence is allowed to work for them"?

Yes, a small number of people do care about this -- how many comments are these compared to the ones that are discussing the topic itself? All I'm saying is: If you're going to try to tell people to not change the language as peop

What has stopped me from using the Boris bikes is how unreliable the payment system is. It seems like there's a 25% chance that any given bike station will reject my card for an unknown reason.

You seem to have a hard time acknowledging that someone can disagree with you while fully understanding your point.

by salvar 9y ago
True, but what are the other relevance factors? It's a black box, and basically ends up being "whatever Facebook deems to be the most profitable content to show you".

However you feel about it, the change is happening. People clearly don't think the ambiguity is as problematic as you do.

by salvar 9y ago
No, not all companies can be described that way.

Right... how does space advertising relate to that though? Are you saying that's the only viable business model for space travel and colonization?
226.
by salvar 9y ago
We can't have space colonies or commercial stations without space advertising?

"Why bother going to the live show when I can sit at home watching a Youtube video instead?" is something I don't think many people think. The video doesn't replace the experience.

Out of curiosity, do you have children?
229.
by salvar 9y ago
Yeah I missed that part somehow. My bad.

by salvar 9y ago
Ah, I should have followed closer. Nevermind.

After they all gather their locked phones from a small confined area in an emergency?

Is there a way to get the website rating functionality without being forced to use DDG as a default search provider?
233.
by salvar 9y ago
Immediately uninstalled because of exactly this. The "We rate websites on privacy" value proposition didn't quite mention "(and we will force you to use our search without asking)".
234.
by salvar 9y ago
That does not justify this in my view. "It's easy for users to change their search habits to get the same experience they had before, so let's just change the default search for them".

It seems like my education was vastly different than yours.

Linus doesn't get personal when he calls Intel engineers morons? Are they not persons?

Why do you make the leap from "more time" to "more focus"?

Are unemployment rates across countries usually explained by one simple reason?
239.
by salvar 9y ago
They are overwhelmingly welcome and integrated, although the integration level differs based on background, length of stay, language skills, etc.

Are you Icelandic? Some of this seems misinformed and based on hearsay rather than fact. Around 10% of the Icelandic population are immigrants, which hardly qualifies as a low level. You could easily call it "wild, rugged" if you
