This is more or less my concern too. Imagine if every road accident was now it's own miniature 9/11. No thanks

Alternate clients and APIs aside, HN has a simple enough layout that you can really easily write up some JS as a browser extension to modify the page a whole lot to your own preferences. Comments have exact timestamps baked into the hoverte

"Redditor" in this context is just an internet-savvy way of saying "sheeple."

It's a crying shame that there isn't a Graphene compatible phone that also has a micro SD slot and headphone jack. The perfect phone just doesn't exist in our timeline

I think you've missed that it was a rhetorical question, likely referring to how he believed ideas such as "the civil rights act was a mistake."

It diverts the attention of the public from other notable topics.

If it didn't, then what exactly is the problem?

That's a fun term for [2]. Our team always called it bikeshedding.

iirc this bug existed from release but didn't impact the game until years later after a sizable number of DLCs were added to the online mode, since the function only got slower with each one added. Not that it's fine that the bug

I don't think it's helpful to assume that rate is an unshakable baseline. There's value in investigating the causes of these tragedies so that we might be able to find ways to prevent them in the future.

I can't really agree. If you mean specifically the tac FPS industry, similar games have since broken through and do plenty well, such as Valorant. If you mean the games industry in general, CS isn't really relevant to its current

If your inventory is set to public you can calculate its value with a third party tool like backpack.tf.

I can promise you that the site isn't the reason your book flopped financially. That is just what the vast majority of books do, especially ones on such niche topics.

> The default is to not buy something. But if this is already true by default, then we're back to square one where the important financial decision was already made. Again, if it was already decided by default that there is no sale

Yep. And not that you asked, but my own opinion (not theirs) is that even writers who get income from sales will be fine either way. Reading a book for free and then buying it to support the author if you want to has been a practice for lon

That makes the very silly assumption that the default is to boycott everything, which is really not the case. People at large definitely still default to purchasing things first, for all sorts of reasons from just feeling that it is moral t

You've just made this person that you're arguing against up.

Depends. I've seen some in favor and some against. Academics who have their papers paywalled by publishing entities against their own wills are generally for it.

Your other points aside... > I'm not against consumer boycotts, but it should generally come with a sacrifice on both sides--for consumers, that means missing out on the product or service. I'm curious as to why you feel this w

To be fair, the theory with the whole coin thing is solid, and I'd say it should count as something to be proud of even if in reality it gets tainted by speculative investments.

As they should. Never once have I seen any good outcome of ads on the web. On the user end: - People click scam download buttons or fake links and are blasted with scams or malware. - Nobody I know has ever, not once, purchased something fr

People can and do download games for free all the time and Steam is still there. People pay for Spotify when music has been openly free since Napster was the zeitgeist.

Citation needed, but also buying homes (that you don't intend to live in or actually use) is still hoarding, and is arguably even worse than hoarding wealth.

Did you keep a list of how each solution ranked? I'd be curious to see it (genuinely).

I would still call this practice malicious. There's no justifiable reason for that much of a jump in price in the first place.

Not sure this was the fault of ChatGPT as much as it was the fault of disinterested students bullshitting a class for credits. I've seen similar bad work in group projects when I was a student well before ChatGPT was a thing.
