Graffur··on Ask HN: Do people at Google use Google things

iPhones and Android phones are pretty much equivalent now anyway.

Graffur··on The Feynman Lectures on Physics (1964)
Is there any benefit to a layman working their way through this? Or is it only relevant to studying/passing an exam?
Graffur··on What’s a fire and why does it burn? (2016)
Wow. I read the initial blog post (well I read the start, and skimmed the rest) and I thought it was interesting but I am just not motivated to dive into something so complex. I learned nothing.

Then I watched Richard Feynman's explanation and feel like I learned something! And was motivated about it!

Graffur··on Spotify and Google Announce User Choice Billing
The whole thing reads like a set up for an april fools joke or something. Bizzare
Graffur··on Ivermectin Didn’t Reduce Covid-19 Hospitalizations in Largest Trial to Date
Joe brings on guests that are informative and interesting. He didn't come up with a scheme to hype up Ivermectin or any other treatment. Do you think otherwise?

I believe he has had on: Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Dr. Michael Osterholm and and Dr. Peter Hotez. That doesn't look to be cherry-picking experts to push an absurd position.

> The misunderstandings around this drug stem from misunderstandings of basic statistics and the scientific method. This is why you shouldn't get your medical advice from Joe Rogan.

This part of your post is confusing. Your conclusion and the conclusion promoted on the JRE are the same.

Graffur··on Sleeping. Closed for business. 10p to 6a
You would not only feel offended but extremely offended by a message on a website? That is such strange behaviour to me. You need to just accept it and move on.
Graffur··on How our free plan stays free
This is the first I have heard of Tailscale. Who uses it? Is it appropriate to put something like this together for a family household?
Graffur··on Zelensky video deepfake
I have been on HN for years now. I don't recall anything in particular that would fall into "The Clinton stuff". What are you talking about?
Graffur··on Show HN: HN Avatars in 357 bytes
How does this work?
Graffur··on Solito – React Native and Next.js unified
"Solito is the missing piece for using React Native with Next.js to build powerful cross-platform apps."

What was missing though?

Graffur··on The new silent majority: People who don't tweet
I disagree completely. If you got a wedding invite to your address and name but you _knew_ it was intended for a person of the same name and similar address.. would you argue that you had a right to go to the wedding by the fact that you received an invite? Yes, it would be helpful for you to notify the sender that you got it by mistake but it doesn't mean you're invited and your message back to the sender wasn't requested because the whole thing happened by mistake.

Also tagging does not necessarily request a reply at all.

This is silly and will go in circles so I will finish by just saying.. What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? ....

Graffur··on The new silent majority: People who don't tweet
I think your understanding is affected by whatever definition of unsolicited is. Can you share your definition of solicited and unsolicited?
Graffur··on Death by PowerPoint: the slide that killed seven people (2019)
Experts are human but it is their responsibility to not get bored in an important presentation regardless of the presenter. That responsibility means the fault is assigned to them and not the presenter.

I agree with your last paragraph but after any bad event you could point at the presenter and say "I didn't consume the information they were providing - therefore blame them not me"

Graffur··on The new silent majority: People who don't tweet
You're not the person I replied to. It was intended to be dismissive in response to "You don't get to message someone and cry "spam" when he replies.".

As for the response, it would be unsolicited by the fact the original tweeter did not ask/want a response from the Meme-ster. They tagged the wrong account.

Take this example:

John says to the person he thinks is Brad: I can't believe the weather today!

Emily says to John: What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals.... etc....

John's reaction to Emily: WTF who the hell is this? Why is she saying these things to me?

Now imagine this happens to be a common mistake that multiple make and Emily responds in this way every time...

Graffur··on Death by PowerPoint: the slide that killed seven people (2019)
It's still their fault and not the person who created the slide.

But it's not a high school presentation done for the sake of doing a presentation. It's not an audience who will review the performance. It's giving information to _professional_ _experts_ who are _responsible_ for consuming that information.
Graffur··on China's state media buys Meta ads pushing Russia's line on war
How has TikTok not been mentioned yet?
Graffur··on The new silent majority: People who don't tweet
Don't get emotionally invested in this. His messages are unsolicited even if they tagged his account. They are also irrelevant which makes them spam.
Graffur··on The new silent majority: People who don't tweet
I think he spammed the same text every time. Definitely worthy of a ban for any community online or offline.
Graffur··on Ask HN: Is You.com the next type of search engine?
It looks like the spit as much information on the screen as possible to make up for lack of accuracy.
Graffur··on What's the most difficult conversation to have with your manager?
"This is pointless work but your boss [e.g. the manager's boss] thinks it is important"
Graffur··on Ask HN: How do you handle being assigned Ops tasks knowing you joined to do Dev?
I don't think OP has even gotten the chance to write any bugs - hence the post.
Graffur··on The technological case against Bitcoin and blockchain
Complaining that distributed ledger tech needs to use.. a distributed ledger. Sorry to be snide but there's nothing new or interesting in this article. I would be interested in a write up about a newer tech though e.g. Algorand.
Graffur··on Show HN: iPod Clickwheel.js
TIL that Apple didn't event this
Graffur··on Show HN: Remember to eat every two hours
While I applaud launching something, this is essentially a timer and has nothing to talk about except the title.
Graffur··on SPAs Were a Mistake
Okay - build a complex site with JQuery and see how it goes..

I assume you're not developing modern web applications then?
