Seriously. While I understand that there's a human side to this whole thing, I can't help but hope that whoever was in charge of the recent desktop UI mangling was part of this 2%

The biggest obstacle stopping Neuromancer from being a viable TV show, IMO, is the lack of cohesion between chapters - readers are frequently dumped into the middle of entirely different circumstances than the previous chapter, just as they

> Linux evangelists were far more obnoxious when Linux was first making the rounds. Yes, absolutely. > This is just how tech works and how tech people tend to behave. I really think that that this old guard mentality needs to die out.

What's the best way to get around this article's paywall?

There's some context missing from this article that I wish was in here. Notably, I figured that analysis of Twitter's spam-account data would fall under "due diligence", a right which Musk himself waived for this deal?

I'm not sure I agree with this point. What if this news article is the spark that inspires someone to hack together a solution for awareness of the issue? Or maybe create an alternative for some of the imports that the Amazon is being

The HN article title "What Causes Depression" is at odds with the article's actual content, which is about an individual being burned out due to a poor work-life balance. I think this ought to be resubmitted with a title that

Maybe I misinterpreted the cause and effect here, but is there a meaningful difference between a Snapchat video with a "speed filter" and a cellphone video of somebody driving fast that includes footage of their car's speedom
