NotHereNotThere··on 'VPNs are lawful technical tools,' says EU Court in landmark copyright ruling
His second sentence is "There's no legitimate use for someone who isn't trying to break the law."

I'm not trying to break the law, I use it for my corporate usage, therefore it is legitimate use.

What are you trying to say?

NotHereNotThere··on GDID Windows – Cut the tracker that follows you even under VPN
There are _some_ cloud accounts for linux such as Ubuntu One, which I would fear could have similar identification capabilities if ever forced by to do so by a 3-letter agency
NotHereNotThere··on California bill would require patches or refunds when online games shut down
Not sure what you're even trying to say, but guess I hit a nerve.
NotHereNotThere··on Bill to block publishers from killing online games advances in California
What an asinine comment.

Gaming companies rendering games you paid for unusable is a real problem, just as much as planned obsolescence occuring in everyday items.

Screaming children? Really? Most gamers are over 18 and there's billions of them.

Let's see what we discover during the next NSA leak.

First thing that came to mind was the Slackware Linux website [0] style (which hasn't changed since I last looked at it in early 2000's)

NotHereNotThere··on Don’t use sugar substitutes for weight loss, World Health Organization advises
While you may not quit sugar entirely, you can certainly choose to not eat any fruits, at all.

You can eat very little sugar (as in, voluntarily avoid foods that contain it) and I don't mean "added sugar" foods).

And "sugar is not the problem"? It's a completely meaningless statement without referencing quantities.

The link translates from English to Japanese for me ;)
NotHereNotThere··on A new AI game: Give me ideas for crimes to do
The song I asked ChatGPT to create about "how to make a molotov cocktail" was pretty catchy and very informative
NotHereNotThere··on Cloud desktops aren't as good as you'd think
From a former Stadia user; latency was never an issue or noticeable with a 4K stream. And I've played quite a bit of fast paced shooters in the platform.

The experience is extremely dependent on location, bandwidth, local setup and availability of close services (in my case, the closest DC was <15ms away according to Stadia telemetry).

NotHereNotThere··on Kim Jung Gi has died
His process is impressive, no sketches or hesitation; he just "prints" whatever was in his mind. The scenes are incredibly detailed, with complex perspectives
NotHereNotThere··on Ask HN: What am I supposed to do after I’m “disrupted”? Work in video and CG
While I think humanity is bad at predicting what the future will look like (where's my damn flying car..), _my_ prediction is that AI video generation will not be a major disrupter to ad agencies / film makers.

It's a nice experiment, but I really doubt the level of artistic direction required to meet specific customer requirements will ever be replaced by "AI"

NotHereNotThere··on Rocky Linux: A CentOS replacement by the CentOS founder
OK I'll bite..

How would I run our SAP ERP apps/databases without "running servers that long"?

NotHereNotThere··on Google Services Experiencing Disruptions
Incidentally, this affected Google's game streaming service Stadia, which is an interesting timing with Amazon's Luna announcement ;)

Teams is a flop? That's news to me.
NotHereNotThere··on Low carb diet leads to “clinical remission” in 3 cases of type 1 diabetes
Well.. I don't actually think the article claims a 'cure' either.

If I get cancer, have treatment for it and am now in remission, who would think these doctors 'cured' cancer? Everyone would understand _my specific instance_ of cancer is reduced to being not a concern anymore.

Being in remission just means a greatly reduced or almost inexistent dependency on insulin.

I'm not saying the conclusions of the article are correct either (low sample size, short period of time), but it's a far cry from claiming 'LCHF cures T1D'

NotHereNotThere··on Low carb diet leads to “clinical remission” in 3 cases of type 1 diabetes
How could you possibly eat 75% whole-food plants on a low carb diet?

Most of them (grains, legumes, fruits and nuts to a certain extent) would fall under high carb when eaten in those quantities

For me (and generally I'd say), low carb is <50g of carbs per day.

NotHereNotThere··on Low carb diet leads to “clinical remission” in 3 cases of type 1 diabetes
He never mentioned it being a cure to T1D..
NotHereNotThere··on Remotely dump memory with no interaction on iPhone 11 Pro (fixed in iOS 13.3.1)
What would be the point of getting clicks to a bug tracker which he doesn't own?
NotHereNotThere··on LogMeIn Acquired by Private Equity
What? How is a user supposed to show you and reproduce their problem when you're connected over SSH or RDP? Both run in a different session than the user's
NotHereNotThere··on Ask HN: Quitting Big Tech, what is it like?
Not being able to work is one thing.

Not being able to work and have hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt because of it is a whole other situation

NotHereNotThere··on PG&E may cut power to 850k California customers this weekend due to fire risk
Ha! They are blocking users outside of the USA:

Block ID: GEO02 Block reason: Access from your Country was disabled by the administrator.

Would you please enlighten us and name one (1) country that does not spy on its citizens (with some amount of evidence please)?
NotHereNotThere··on Bitcoin expert scams a scammer, donates the money to charity
Although you probably have better things to do than redacting a 20 page PDF for random internet strangers, it would've been an interesting read ;)
NotHereNotThere··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2019)
Just to let you know; most of your links do not work.
NotHereNotThere··on Google – My Activity
You should probably refrain from using blanket statements like "Hacker News thinks that or does this".

I've see comments on HN by users from incredibly diverse fields, expertise, ages, countries, etc.

If you think a specific comment in this thread reflects your blanket statement then address it directly, but overall it makes me dismiss anything you've written.

And it doesn't contribute much to the discussion

NotHereNotThere··on People Who Claim to Work 75-Hour Weeks Usually Only Work About 50 Hours
As a parent of multiple children (3+), your comment really rubs me the wrong way.

It comes off as judgemental ("you're doing it wrong", "you really need to learn to"), and you're generalizing your own children's behavior as if it applied to every child.

Every child is different, their sleep cycles, reactivity, personalities, etc.

I'm not even going to comment on the 1-2-3-timeout technique apart from saying I think it's disrespectful towards children; it is basically conditioning them to fear certain words you say and to force them to do something. Isolating them when they "misbehave".

You're free to raise your children how you want, but perhaps be mindful of how you.. "give advice"
