How is that misaligned with your DDOS? It’s not moving the goal posts at all you just didnt think of that possibility and now are upset.

not the same, you’re paying for car insurance and they offer you a discount if you allow tracking. most sites using tracking are providing you something for no monetary cost to you, instead by showing you targeted ads

Hmm, what if people outside of yoga like health food? Or what if some people at the yoga site instead eat fried food but just have a good exercise routine? your solution here just makes ads less valuable, which isn’t a win for advertisers o

At least you’re not in need of care, are overweight, and have state medical records. I need something looked at, and the first Dr I went to noticed my weight obviously and told me my issue is weight related and I need to lose weight before

Hard pass. Critical care I may be able to be convinced of, but not IVF, sex changes, hormone treatments outside of menopause or other similar issues, or anything else deemed optional.

Now imagine a world where everybody had a million dollars in the bank, a 25 room mansion, and 30 cars. Imagining things is fun, then reality and costs come crashing in. Go look at the state of VA healthcare for an example.

I’ve been getting back into robotics lately and one thing that’s rubbing me the wrong way is these days, with PCB way, everybody seems to be making their own boards. Why? Some boards are innovative, but how come everybody needs their own FO

density can be hugely detrimental to climate change if the city isn’t built in a green way, which no US city currently is and will likely not be in your lifetime. under the guise that your desire to live in a highly dense climate wasteland,

I used to travel to SF regularly, including after the removal of cars from market street. Additionally, i stayed on market street because of the ease of access to the offices i needed to go to. if cars are in fact the problem, how come mark

You shouldn’t worry about downvotes on HN, many here are biased and are looking for reconfirmation of their beliefs rather than discourse.

well that’s clearly flawed. i certainly don’t buy SF being safer than literally any rural area.

Small towns don’t typically have malls. Small towns are more on the order of “oh we just got a walmart”. I think you’re conflating small towns with mid to large towns or small cities.

That was Catholicism, not Christianity. Which is my point, your average non-religious person does not understand the difference between religions. Be it Islam vs Christianity, or Christianity vs Catholicism.

the assumption is that Trump was only elected by Christians? I honestly feel bad for the left. Given everything their news media tells them is under threat they seem legitimately scared about a nonissue. The power of the news cycle.

I’m guessing you don’t know much about religion? Christianity and islam are quite a bit different, the latter literally convinving people to convert by sword. And here I thought HN got rid of bigoted comments like this.
