I've no idea what part of my comment gave you the impression I was concerned about you in any way or had any reason to think you might not be fine, but good for you that you are! :)

I obviously wasn't trying to change your mind on the main subject, since I didn't make a single argument about it. I don't have an obligation to try to explain why I think you're wrong, and I don't understand the su

No worries, easy mistake to make! (And I'm probably one of the few people for whom it wasn't immediately obvious what you intended.)

Am I right to assume those typos meant to say "foldable"?

Be careful not to take it too much for granted (I'm not saying you are) - plenty of us in the UK felt how you feel, too! Just not quite enough of us, sadly.

I'm pretty sure it was just marks on the back of the cards that glasses/contacts then converted into an xray-like view, not any actual technology for seeing through the cards.

You're agreeing with them, not disagreeing! :) The person who you replied to said they only reason to choose them is easiness, and you've replied saying you disagree because for all the downsides the easiness makes up for it.

I would broadly expect software made by most camera brands to be shit, while I would expect a developer who creates their own hardware projects (generally, not talking specifically about cameras) to range from idiots who have no idea what t

Question from somebody who is interested but who doesn't have a HN account: "How does it react if you break your streak?"

Could you expand on why you think it (back-end managing the front-end's state) is better in the scenarios that you do? Edit - rather than spam with multiple thank you comments, I'll say here to current and potential future replier

Perhaps you're right that it's government agencies (I may have even skimmed over a mention confirming that?) but my assumption, especially after the author mentioned one of the "agencies" being about 500 people total, is

There's no methods of field sobriety testing that are actually reliable, what it's best at doing is allowing police to get probable cause even if a sober driver just happens to not be good at something they've not done before

The fact that you wrote this in reply to me makes me think you missed the point of my comment, which didn't actually have anything to do with subsidies - I was just pointing out they "growing wine to make grapes" is the wrong

To be fair, without subsidies only fools would grow wine for grapes! (Sorry, just my way of pointing out a minor typo. If you edit without replying to me I'll delete this.)

I'm not a mod or anything so you can of course ignore me, but might I suggest that this doesn't align with the HN guidelines on commenting and that it would be great if you took a look at them :) https://news.ycombinato

A minor FYI: "slander" is oral (spoken) defamation, while if its in written form it's "libel".

You're spreading misinformation (quite likely unintentionally). No data has been released supporting the claim that the population has stayed the same, what was wrongly spread was a US intelligence assessment of expected population whi

Ah, I hadn't thought of illegal as counting for a double negative - it's not one for how I think, but I totally see both why you said it and why it would be a double negative for some people! Thanks for explaining

I disagree that phones are unique in being fragile without protection, what is unique is that we want to carry them around all day without treating them as delicate. The things we eat off and drink out of often can't be dropped from wa

I'm sure the numbers of people wrongly using those terms has risen at least a bit, but I think the anecdotal evidence you have is likely to be a mixture of that and also not that. Similar to how some people look at raw stats of autism
