I kind of envy that. But years ago I cared a whole lot about HN and tied my personal self to it. I owe a lot to the community, too. For better or for worse, I'm stuck. I don't know of a community I'd rather be part of. It jus

Who among us isn't already self-censoring? In contrast to yourself, I'm most self-censored here. In a game or in person is where I feel like I can speak freely. Here, not so much.

> but living with someone is more likely to destroy your friendship than strengthen it. Never live with someone you aren't prepared to hate. Nothing kills a friendship like becoming roommates.

Trying to explain this has failed an innumerable number of times here. Whenever this discussion pops up, there are die-hards who are against all advertising versus those who present a rational argument explaining how the content they willin

If it comes to pass that Crytek cannot, and knowingly could not, pay them then that's when to bandwagon. Not before it's known. That's how it plays out on HN. Guilty before proven innocent. If you believed everything you read

Your error was to go against the 'gimme free stoofs' people. They outnumber us 1 million to 1.

They're still not the same thing at all.

You are factually correct. The emotion-based downvoting is real.

How can you increase demand for housing and decrease the cost of housing at the same time?

Indeed. I think you and I both are left with many others wondering what the ultimate solution will be.

I'm positive I've said exactly the same thing in the past. Over time, I realized that the issue is more nuanced. I don't think most people actually feel entitled to free content, but rather that the non-monetary "fee&quo

The bit about them insisting they know better than you what you need to see and how you need to see it, coupled with the bit about ads, is a non sequitur. We're talking about tracking usage stats. Some people simply can't be bothe

They wanted to see information about how you use something they offer. You wanted something they offer. You declined, which is your choice, of course. I think you both lost that battle.

Don't worry about it brother. You're watching something go down you're not part of. Your response is funny but it's not part of your HN pay grade.

You're the only person with the balls to show it. Thanks. There are so many willing to deal with what it takes but the most important thing is for people to bust out the qwerty and speak.

If your one opening argument rides on being someone who watches YouTube all day, you're going to meet some questions. If someone asks that question, the wrong answer is to tell them to watch YouTube all day with you. He referenced some

He's not wrong about it being off-topic. He's wrong about trying to put something kinda like it in the same conversation. It's typical. We get it all the time here.

Is it only not in taste to ask for references when numbers aren't involved? It was a simple request. Bet you could have fulfilled it.

Lol, what? Stop trying to shoehorn unrelated things into your narrow view of the world.

What's that video? It's hard to comment without the context.

Were you disappointed that this wasn't bleeding edge advice for time travelers?

He's saying that because the person who says they've been here for 8 years registered 16 days ago. As if, in 8 years of Inflammatory HN commentary, only just now did they decide to stop lurking. And only just now did they become s

As someone who has actually been here for like 8 years, I know better than to be baited into doing basic legwork research for the uninitiated.

You can do the work for yourself and search HN. I'm not going to sift through it all. If you're actually interested in knowing, take a few minutes.

If you've ever used Firefox this isn't lost on you. However, it's a pitiful defense for a $1500+ computer.

This was exactly what I was shooting for, myself. I needed something powerful but portable. Ultimately what I got was very portable but not very powerful. "Time to reboot!" should not be part of the daily routine.

Well, I'm tired of an employee coming up to me and saying "this thing is going so slow" and it's just Firefox and some other things open. The hardware can't keep up with today's software demands. Whether it&#x2

I'm not sure what they're optimizing for. If they had some bad ass machine that wasn't the thinnest machine in existence I'd still buy it. I own a pro and an air from the last generation and I think they suck. Give me so

> Are you saying that people shouldn't teach themselves powerful technologies? That much it was clear they weren't saying. What was being said was that prolog is just about the last lang you'd do this in. Aside from that,
