Better to be alive, though, than simply never born in order to protect airbnb, as you would prefer.

There are things that you can do that make you seem trustworthy, and you've done none of them.

I am being no ruder than you are, more or less. > because it's very much not I don't expect to change the mind of someone who thinks that addition and defining a vector are the same thing. You've just redefined generally

What do you mean subtracting a cat from a dog doesn't make sense? Heh, ackshualllyyy I was imagining a vector of pets, where we have still have a dog but now a cat deficit of one, because the cat died and now we have a big hole in our

Alright you're just talking about a different operation entirely but have decided to give it the name "addition". Not particularly insightful, but thanks anyway.
276.
by twixfel 2y ago
That's nonsense because addition loses the structure. 3 litres and 6 seconds becomes indistinguishable from 4 litres and 5 seconds. Maybe that's what you want, but it's realistically pretty much never what you want.

What does that have to do with German-developed and Hungarian-made electric motors breaking down in the UK?

Raivo OTP (written by security researcher Tijme Gommers, who really should know better, or just didn't care) got sold to Mobime (some guy in Morocco as far as I can tell).

My last password manager got sold to some guy in Morocco and my passwords put behind a pay wall, and then lost. Bring on the vendor lock in, I’m so done with all that other shit.

by twixfel 2y ago
Honestly, I support it. I got burnt by Tijme Gommers selling Raivo to someone shady and getting all my passwords locked behind a subscription (and subsequently lost). I don't want to have to check once a day to see if my TOTP app has

It's pithy but not really true. Breton is its own language. So is Basque. These are not political questions, but based on linguistics entirely.

This explanation doesn't make any sense. Your example is two words which are barely different at all in their pronunciation, certainly not sufficiently to cause unintelligibility (i.e. [wirk] vs [wak]). Differences in pronunciation o

Sounds like playing with fire to take off something as protective and life saving as a face mask for the sake of something as trivial as a photo.

Idk man life feels pretty normal to me and has felt pretty normal for about 2 years now. I guess you can try and convince me to care, but I just don't. I go days or even weeks without thinking about this pandemic tbh. Feels good. So

The point is that I don't want to wear a mask. I tolerated it during the pandemic because it was an extreme situation. The pandemic is now over, so I no longer wear a mask. If that makes me selfish, then I'm OK with that. It i

by twixfel 2y ago
To each their own but I'm pretty glad masks are on their way out. I wore one when I had to during the pandemic and I'm quite happy that I didn't have to wear one to any of the conferences I've been to since the pandemic

The problem with defending against this "attack vector" orchestrated by Tijme Gommers and MobiMe is that you basically have to check your apps intermittently to make sure they haven't been sold and disable all updates, as you

by twixfel 2y ago
I feel like Tijme Gommers should be held accountable for this fiasco as well. He knew exactly what he was doing when he sold to this shady as fuck company and announced it as minimally as possible. For someone who works in an industry so

I'm still waiting for the interface-breaking, let's-finally-make-root-good, version 7, which I think I first heard about in 2016 or so... true vapourware.

Well, the USA was completely stolen, every single square inch, and the natives genocided. Whereas the Basques for example, if they stole their land, did it in deep prehistory.

Why only reply to the comment about Kleingärten, is it because you realise you're wrong about what you said about only Europe having old cities? Which is actually a fairly comically cringe and ignorant comment to make? I live in Hamb

Same excuse every museum gives. The US is full of European art and artifacts.

It's not a luxury only they have, and Asia has lots of ancient cities too, sorry to disappoint you but urbanisation did not begin in Europe. Just down the road from me in the middle of the city we have a huge Kleingartenverein. That

It's not densification if it's "from scratch", that's just building something dense. So in short it's apparently impossible to make a city denser than it already is. But this is trivially false. Each city&#x

I don't really see a decrease in population density and the corresponding increase in cars on the road as "progress", otherwise you're about to tell me that American-style giga suburbs are the answer to our problems. De

What good does your seething on HN do? My point is if you're going to rage about the war in Ukraine, you should probably rage and seethe about the invader, not criticise Ukraine for defending itself lmao. If your only problem is that U

Carry on trying to hit me over the head with the Hacker News rule book whilst turning a blind eye and saying literally nothing to that guy's genocide apologism. You have beclowned yourself.

You need to focus your outrage on Russia for invading Ukraine instead of Ukraine for defending itself.

by twixfel 2y ago
That person is literally defending the invasion of Ukraine, justifying it in terms of "protecting Russian minorities being killed". How can you be so comfortable casting everything as exactly the same shade of grey, even when it i
