>They just got through saying that foul play was not suspected. It'd be nice if you could not slander the dead.

>not suspected

lol, It's all speculation. No one knows anything at this point. Have there been cases in the past where the police initially announce no foul play was suspected and then have it turn out to be that foul play was indeed involved? We can imagine so.

And there is no slander here. None. So what on Earth are you even talking about?

>I think you must be misreading. You brought this up in the first place when you said "Should probably also disclose you work for Google when making such a statement about one of its products.". Before that, I did not say anything about Google, or imply that I worked there, in any way. The thread clearly shows this.

Oh c'mon; are you just trolling now? Of course you didn't say that in this thread, but you did say it lol.

I mean, do you think I just made a wild guess that some random HN user worked for Google and happened to be right?

Nicksil··on Men Stall Waymo Driverless Car to Catcall Female Passenger Inside
Right. They asked why I thought they worked at Google and it's because they said they worked at Google.

You asked why I thought you worked at Google and it's because you said as much.

>The fact that the car was self-driven doesn't really affect any of this

That's a bit ridiculous. Of course it does; how many people do you know are OK with some random dudes making an ass of themselves in the middle of the street, blocking your right-of-way?

Should probably also disclose you work for Google when making such a statement about one of its products.

>Firefox is the third worst browser, unfortunately there are only three browsers and one is restricted to Apple devices.

So, first best? I concur!

Nicksil··on Ask HN: Is it possible that all of this Boeing news is sabotage?
> It just doesn't seem plausible.

Why do you think that? This sort of transformation can come about a number of ways. It’s not an everyday occurrence but it’s certainly not implausible.

> 237 Tb in an unlimited service from Google

So, not excessive. 237 TB does not exceed unlimited. What am I missing here?

>they knew they had found a loop hole in google policy.

What, exactly, is this loop hole?

Nicksil··on Google Promises Unlimited Storage; Cancels; Tells Journalist Life's Work Deleted
>And he was never paying "a lot of money" for this.

You're being obtuse: "a lot of money" in this context is a relative amount and you know that.

>Life would be miserable if every restaurant had to parcel out individual sugar packets just because 1/100 people decided to abuse it and take them all home.

OK

>Why do you want everything to be financialized?

Where did I say this?

>The world works better when people can use small conveniences non-abusively.

OK

Did you just not want to address anything in the comment you replied to?

>didn't migrate the data to somebody offering a better deal

Why would this be considered? What if he didn't want to migrate 200+ TB of data and just decided to stay where he's at, continuing to pay Google a lot of money?

>expected for it to be retained indefinitely?

For as long as he pays for the service, right?

>Things are free when people don't abuse it. Just be normal. Jesus.

Well, no, things are free until they stop being free.

Who gets to decide what "normal" means.

>The actual text in the story doesn't match the title. It's pretty obvious if you read it.

I did read it. Title is definitely reflective of the articles content.

Did you read it?
