Which gives way for New New Apple :-)

What's sad about it? Steve isn't here anymore, and it slowly gives opportunity for a new Apple to emerge.

This is complete fluff, but I saw this webcomic years and years ago and still can't stop laughing at it: https://i.imgur.com/wEo36.gif

Ouch, that’s a tough ending to the story indeed. Pretty cool still that you made it halfway.

The argument is not against profits but rather there is a huge first-to-market benefit here, which might have an impact on usual quality and safety measures.

You do have a good point - although the extortion lawyers were just contracted by some of the big studios. Ergo, the likelihood of being hunted by the heirs of a ww2-era Polish filmmaker or similar entity are considerably slimmer. :-) Youre

Tbh I dont really need illegal torrents nowadays, but thats an interesting concept for sure.

by waihtis 6y ago
Well this is a blast from the past for sure. I haven't been looking at torrents for ages, mostly because local LEO partnered together with extortion lawyers made it uncomfortable over where I live. Literally extortion in this case, as

These various networked computer components being attached to our bodies make me very nervous. See: hackers control pacemaker shock cycles with malware. [1] Software will always be vulnerable and it’s just a matter of time until someone get

Good luck, but you should consider that this isn’t a ”researcher is good/bad” issue, this is a ”global pharma race for billions in profits” issue with all kinds of interference from management, finance, etc.

There seems to be some new culture where it’s OK or even celebrated to answer to good intentions with snarky hostility. If the advice isn’t to your liking, let it slide right off you. It will not make you feel better if you berate someone w

Interesting. Is the clan by itself the bonding force or are there other aspects (religion or something else) which define the clan boundaries?

Love this as a concept. Any radio amateurs here? What do you actually end up doing with your setups? Do you have conversations with other amateurs or something else? If it wasn’t completely obvious, I don’t really know much about the ”scene

I’ve argued about flagging policy a couple times over at HN, but the comments in this thread during the first 5 minutes should provide a stellar example why to flag any political content.

Just der Wille zur Macht at work. After reading and accepting that thesis, the world has become a much more obvious place for me personally.

Meanwhile, Europe was filled with BLM protests.

by waihtis 6y ago
Then your problem is with the HN guidelines, as they specifically mention flagging as a way to filter out ”off-topic” content.

Why so aggressive? I’m just speculating on why people might flag.

Well, I'm drifting way into the sea of armchair psychology here, but a part of "I don't have resources to care" also translates often to "I don't want to see anything related to this." Especially on the we

Correct- "interesting" was poor wording here, should have been "on-topic."
954.
by waihtis 6y ago
You're completely right - I misworded the "interesting" part, when I did in fact mean "on-topic." However, I don't think it changes my ultimate point. All the same, an (assumedly) big enough populace decided th

> It’s not about interest. How do you know? Example: I flag, on every opportunity, posts related to US politics. It's not because I'm "hurt" or annoyed by US politics, it's because I have close to zero interest i

Per the guidelines, hacker news is a "site for things that hackers might find interesting." Based on that, having the sufficient amount of flaggings suggests that hackers do not find this interesting. I see why it is important to

Another PB&K fan here - but I drink them instead of eat them. Throw kale, pb, some mineral salt and a sweetener of choice (I use erythritol currently) into the blender and blend until texture is smooth. You can smash a pitcher full of k
