> not just by being so stupid for making his odd ideas public We're reaching the point in our society where thought-crime is a reality. You're not allowed to hold certain opinions, and if you do, you can't have a job or pa

Oh ok, so if I'm a good dog you'll take my leash off? Can you please just delete my account like I've asked for multiple times? If not, what does it take to earn a permaban?

As an actual American, I've never heard anyone talk about small European cities. Are you from Europe? If you're only talking to American tourists in Europe, there's going to be some strong selection bias favoring people who l

It's very hard to be intellectually curious when I'm only allowed to post 3-4 comments an hour. What if I'm having a conversation with someone? Why am I not allowed to respond?

Very Brave New World-esque. Make rules to keep everyone friendly, but meanwhile what you're actually doing is silencing people and making it impossible to have any real discussion. I better be careful, since I'm only allowed to ma

It's cute how they say it's for ferry service, when in reality the only reason this is being built is so Norway can export more oil to the rest of the world. That doesn't make for a very good press piece though, does it?

HN has such odd and draconian rules that should really come under scrutiny more often. We're not allowed to think or say certain things? What?

Not the same problem. Twitter has a lot more power than, say, GameFAQs had back in the day.

In a lot places, leashes are required by law. Something to keep in mind even if you do train your dog to be leash-free.

It's beautiful how we reached the core conundrum so quickly in this HN comment thread. If we're going to start "rooting out extremists" and deplatforming them en-masse, who gets to decide what counts as extremism?

Okay, then go take out a loan and sell some covered calls. You'll make money on the premiums. Why aren't you doing that?

$1.4k isn't much to most HN users, so I would tell you to invest it in crypto if you don't own any yet. I'm not saying you should take out a mortgage to buy crypto, but if 2-10% of your portfolio isn't already crypto,

Regardless, it's disingenuous to say that the experience offered by HL Alyx on a Valve Index is comparable to what you're describing. Valve was pretty firm on their requirement for 90 FPS, for example, because they insisted that a

I think back in the 90s the tech just wasn't there yet. Reducing latency, increasing framerate, and increasing resolution makes a huge difference to the VR experience. The difference between 256x256 and QHD+ is huge. Valve has a lot of

Valve isn't trying to probe your asshole to extract every last bit of value from you at your expense. They just want to make games. And from that perspective, a non-desktop VR headset doesn't seem profitable.
