Stopped reading when you said Mac OS 9 was slow. Compared to the current Mac OS on modern hardware, OS 9 was blazing fast even on that old hardware. Most things being single threaded also meant that even if your machine was lagging, you cou

Zionists are Israeli nationalists, basically the opposite of globalists.

Yes, the person you’re responding to is dogwhistling that he believes Jews run the world and he assumes that I agree with him.

Your comment only appeals to people who already agree with you, therefore it’s useless. If you want people to take you seriously then you can begin by addressing any of his points rather than fixating on the word “money” as if that was his

The whole phrase is a multilayered meme. It’s generally used by alt-right neo nazis with conflicted emotions who believe Alex Jones works for the Jews but also find his tantrums endearing. “Humble merchant” is a phrase often used by modern

“Humble water filter merchant” is a term that some people use to describe Alex Jones.

Why do the edges need to be round? Can this idiotic trend die already? It makes it easier for the phone to slide off of flat surfaces. It also makes it much harder to hold the phone with one hand since all the weight that concentrates on yo

The Wuhan Center for Disease Control, which routinely sent viral samples to WIV, is only 300 meters from the wet market. The 300 meter radius circle surrounding the Wuhan Center for Disease Control is 0.33 square miles. China is 3,705,009 s

You’re the one making extraordinary claims. The virus came from a bat sold at a wet market? Where is your evidence? What is the name of the merchant who sold the bat at the wet market? Where is the specific bat from that wet market which wa

I find it infuriating. It drives home how insurmountable someone else’s first mover advantage and subsequent network effects can be. I say this as someone who had great success in my niche, I’m often angry about my own success and sympathiz

It could raise the quality of discussion in the future if it discourages people who nitpick definitions from doing it again.

Something needs to be done about the default comment ordering or subthread collapsing ability on HN. I understand I can easily collapse a comment’s replies with a single tap in the correct tiny location, but that isn’t enough. I became incr

I rarely see halfway decent “Show HN” style posts, people seem to prefer amateur hour stuff in that category instead. Why? Recently we had the uninspired Pickle Rick “terminal” someone made in four minutes and then an allegedly multiplayer

It appears to have come from the funny part, and is being criticized by someone else’s overly sensitive part.

I was once invited to the Google campus in Mountain View. The employee showing me around laughed in disbelief when I pulled out my Android phone to show her something. She said that she and all of her coworkers use iPhones.

As you’d know if you actually read those people’s comments, they believe he had a role in intentionally releasing the virus as a pretext to force his id2020.org human cattle marking system onto the world, among other incentives. Don’t stop

Either they printed 2 trillion physical dollar bills or they didn’t. I’m saying they didn’t. I’m curious what imaginary comment it is you’re replying to.

by FriendlyNormie 6y ago
Let’s not pretend they did anything as difficult as printing that much money. They just added 2 trillion to a value in a database somewhere.

How is a screening service like this that fabricates a summary instead of impartially presenting all the raw data they have not in violation of libel laws?

Having the ad so close to the “Previous” and “Next” buttons is a violation of AdSense terms of service because it strongly encourages accidental clicks, especially on mobile. But I suppose that’s the whole reason they broke their blog post

Let’s assume this new X-ray technique is not actually an ordinary X-ray but really is a modification to a CT scan, since otherwise there’s no reason for them to compare it to an MRI. A head CT scan delivers 40 mGy of radiation to an adult b

It’s not like trying to flip just the right toggle. You’ve flipped it thousands of times and memorized its exact location through haptic memory. You gently feel the surroundings to ensure your hand is in the right location and then you make

The only way their dimwitted hot take would be remotely credible is if they were aware of the exact activities of the scientists at the lab in Wuhan and knew exactly which cutting edge technologies they had access to. The only people who wo

The timing of this is interesting. Are they merely taking advantage of most places having a skeleton staff during the pandemic, or is it something worse like the thieves anticipating the museum will be destroyed by starving mobs soon so the

You’re claiming you printed these out, colored them in with crayons, enjoyed the experience, and at no point questioned whether you were infantilizing yourself?

AirBnb forces you to agree permanently to automatic withdrawals If you ever book using PayPal. Yesterday I noticed they had randomly withdrawn over $500 from my PayPal account over the past two weeks. I haven’t booked a stay with AirBnb for
