Perhaps risk tolerance has remained the same, it's just that risk has gone high enough that it is outside of that risk tolerance. Taking on the task of raising a child when you can barely keep yourself fed is simply impossible from a r

I don't really think this is as complicated as you're making it in this case. The regulation should be that ISPs are to simply pass along data that comes their way. If they fail to do that by impeding certain traffic, they should

Between their rave reviews and extreme success, my personal anecdotal experience with the game, and your own 1600 hours, I'd say that the potential has been realized to an acceptable degree already. This is all just icing on the cake

This is context sensitive. As in spoken conversation, if your buddy comes up and shares a cool story with you, silently responding with a thumbs up would be rude. If you're coordinating with a team, a thumbs up is a respectful and comm

Also seemingly notable in this article is the comments section. While the authorship can't actually be verified, there are plenty of comments dated to 2004 from people claiming to be Apple veterans, including one from "stevewoz&qu

I think that's a given that needn't be mentioned in the article. The author isn't stupid, and clearly wouldn't advocate for making outlandish or completely unreasonable requests even for the "askers" mindset.

It's also because MS makes way, way, way more money on business licenses than they do on individual consumer ones. They don't have much incentive to care about individuals not giving them a sale. Meanwhile, businesses are actively

I'm certainly not defending Nintendo, but Gary Bowser is not as innocent as he was made out to be by viral media. The guy stole FOSS code by making a closed source fork to sell for a profit, tweaked it to be malicious (bricking devices

I had a similar experience. It's unfortunate since I hear it get praised constantly for being a masterpiece and I am a big fan of puzzle games, but it just would not click for me. I think it's also to do with the nature of the puz

I remember this fondly. Fortunately now that it's gone Mac OS has taken up the mantle of having a loud TTS jumpscare you on startup. It's quite common to hear "MAC OS CONTAINS A BUILT IN SCREEN READER," followed quickly

For the record the fault lies with the developers who made the page for the game on Steam, not with Steam. You could argue that Steam shouldn't allow this in the first place but cases like these are pretty much the reason that they imp

Not to say that those are the same but they often go hand in hand. The purpose of a robocall is typically just to cast the line, and if they get a bite then a human scam caller will take over.

To risk veering off topic, the Nintendo thing gets a bad rep due to how it was reported on when it really is the sort of thing you'd expect HN types to be on board with. The guy stole FOSS code, tweaked it to be malicious (bricking dev

I have never liked this mentality in discussions around immortality that essentially boil down to "I would die if it meant people I don't like can die too." "A bad actor living for a long time would make our quality of l

At that point it would be better to supply the demand for fish with fish farms where they are bred to be eaten rather than pulling fish from the ocean. You could (truthfully) advertise as environmentally friendly, you would probably turn a

That's not great, but it's not the same as the Mr Robot thing. That much has already stopped. This is a different thing that similarly won't happen again now that backlash has occurred. A different cause of a plane crash that

The more apt analogy in that case might be "would you prefer I decapitate you, or forget to buy you a souvenir on my road trip," to better illustrate the difference in severity between Google's and Mozilla's actions.

If anything, shouldn't the fallout reinforce trust that it won't happen again? Kind of like how plane crashes actually make planes safer.
