I think the argument against can be boiled down to this hypothetical analogy: A few friends and I like your home better than ours. It's much nicer and safer than where we currently live, so we move into a few open bedrooms. Now that we

I typically chose passwords that are long, easy to remember sentences (no caps or spaces). Generic example: millionsandmillionsofpeopleliveinthiscity Easy to share aloud, but long enough to protect against being brute-forced.

Personally I'd see it as a negative vs using an industry standard solution. However, I'm sure some folks would be tempted to add something like "designed and implemented a distributed task scheduler and execution engine for

Yeah, either that or "architecting something new looks better on my resume than using an existing solution."

Haha no, it's the user's hardware that they purchased outright. Should LG be able to charge you every time you watch a movie or show on your TV?

Yeah, this is gatekeeping nonsense. By your logic, streaming services should be paying TV manufacturers for using their "IP" when displaying video to customers. Hogwash.

Underhanded insinuations like this do not belong on HN.

All of this is based on the unsupported assumption that purity of vocabulary is some sort of virtue to strive for and that other speakers are responsible for protecting the listener from their subjective, personal hangups by adopting some s

Yeah, the author has to resort to tone-policing because they have no good rebuttals for the criticism being received so they are trying to invalidate and dismiss said criticism due to its 'tone'. What a lazy rhetorical device.

Can you link an instance of this happening or is this entirely speculation on your part?

by noptd 3y ago
This is low even by Reddit standards. Please keep to the HN guidelines and stop reposting that article and claim which has been debunked multiple times in this comment section - it contributes nothing to the conversation.

>My main point is that school vouchers are bad. Which you keep repeating without providing any supporting argument or citations, hence the downvotes.

I'm not the OP but equating criticism of the *culture* of a *subset* of a given demographic with racism is an extremely uncharitable take.

As if that's relevant or excuses this behavior.

Considering there's been data and benchmarks provided to support the argument that the performance improvements have been substantial, can you provide any evidence to support your argument against it? Otherwise, your argument isn'

Considering the topic at hand, this comes across as flame-baiting. Use your imagination.

Agreed. Nor should the platform disallow you from doing so.

By this logic, the ability to install arbitrary software is a major risk. I strongly disagree with this stance, and it's a very authoritarian one at that. The common people can't be trusted with freedom so we should give up that f

This condescending, pseudo-intellectual bullshit has no place on HN. Take it back to r/conspiracy where it belongs.

Excluding Tesla: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34518608 Perhaps you should do more research before ending a comment on such a condescending remark next time.

Citation needed.

You're getting downvoted for making a strong causal claim without initially citing any sources, and the citations in this comment don't even support your claim. From your first link: >It’s important to note that artificial food

Seriously. Nothing like normalizing the gathering and (by default) over-sharing of sensitive data with your product...
