ParameterOne··on Ask HN: How do you assess developer productivity?
It's best to give up? Almost no one would seriously wonder?Software is also too abstract?

Developer productivity questions will always occur in the minds of the people signing the front of the paycheck.

ParameterOne··on Ask HN: How do you see the world?
One of many worlds.
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Is only using WEBP images “acceptable” in 2021?
Well if its just you serving your own images then I think it doesn't matter. If its you hosting images for others, then that chould raise your costs but should be looked at as a cost of doing business and adjust pricing if necessary. The increased cost could be outweighed if there is a significant amount of business you didn't get by not offering the jpeg uploads.
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Is a concept of a dystopian society necessarily negative?
I think the problem I'm having here is that all your terminology is open-ended and subjective. Terms like 'better off' 'happier' 'healcare advancements' are not measurable. It may be possible to answer your own question by reversing the thought. Like, will our dystopian future be caused by our attemp to fight climate change and can that dystopia be mitigated with the use of technological advancements?
ParameterOne··on How do I build an ESP (email service provider) tool like Mailchimp?
This is the worst answer I have read in a year. You should be gratefull someone taught you to wipe your butt. I think what you really meant to say was "I have no idea how email works either but I'm going to make you think you shouldn't try to figure it out because then you might become better than me."
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Is a concept of a dystopian society necessarily negative?
First you didn't beleive I read it, then you tell me I'm confusing myself! I would suggest removing the 'phd' on your username and replace it with something more your speed, like 'sh!t'

EDIT: ok maybe that was a bit harsh but the only way dystopian anything can be a good thing is to people who like dystopia which is then actually utopia and it reverts back to my original answer which is - dystopia = negative.

ParameterOne··on Ask HN: What are some scams that are yet to go bust?
Social securityis a pretty well known ponzi scheme.
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Is a concept of a dystopian society necessarily negative?
I read it more than once. Need any more clarification or were you just hoping for a longer answer to start a discussion?
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Is a concept of a dystopian society necessarily negative?
yes its negative. look up the word dystopian
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Is only using WEBP images “acceptable” in 2021?
Why would you not support jpeg?
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: How do you organize and archive your paper-based documents?
I scan them and save them on some kind of digital format. And things like my kids artwork I save in a box in the closet :-)
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Architecture Diagrams for GitHub Readme.md?
You don't need Google drive. Go to Draw.io and draw a box, then click save as. You will see a github option as well as trello/dropbox/etc. Here, ask theses guys: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gaudenzalder/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidbensonuk/
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Why post titles are created as a question?
Your post title is not a question, it is a title with a question mark at the end. Just because you are not expecting an answer doesn't mean you don't deserve one....you did ask a question. Questions also change brain chemistry. The person asking the questions is in control of direction of the conversation. I think the questions that you are speaking of are the type meant to lure you in like "Is DDR4 really faster than DDR3?" and then you read a content marketing article from a DDR4 manufacturer.
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: What's your favorite ad/popup blocker?
agree, and the element picker is nice to use also
ParameterOne··on Facebook auto-generates videos celebrating extremist images
i.e. I get to interact with the people I add/follow on my terms

Workinig on it ;-)

ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Optimizing Experience
I would think you would want to decrease the occurrences of experience by letting someone else's hindsight be your foresight.
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Architecture Diagrams for GitHub Readme.md?
https://draw.io
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: How to limit RAM usage of an application?
Turn off hardware acceleration. That is what fixed my memory suck.
ParameterOne··on YC S18 YouTube Video
I was more concerned about company name/description
ParameterOne··on YC S18 YouTube Video
I didn't apply for this session
ParameterOne··on Google is lying to you with their activity controls
That takeout.google link you shared ..... I'm pretty sure that it is used to create an archive of your data. I'm also pretty sure making an archive will store your stuff with google.
ParameterOne··on YC S18 YouTube Video
I did not get contact or interview. In light of the new information by the parent I can only assume that I was "sorted".
ParameterOne··on YC S18 YouTube Video
If your statements are accurate there is very little reason why 96% of applicants should apply to YCombinator in the future. I certainly would not have wasted my time in the past if I knew the above to be true. Can we get a confirmation please?
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Is Hacker News GDPR Compliant?
I think GDPR should be based on Gltd's and ccGltd's. That way you know when you leave the comfort of a .nl or .eu and enter the .com you have been warned. Just like signing an agreement that says which state laws you agree the contract uses.
ParameterOne··on AI-driven unemployment in Hong Kong can be offset by a tax on profits
seriously? tax the robots?
ParameterOne··on Why Denmark dominates the World Happiness Report rankings year after year
My last comment got down voted by a moron so I will add this: Maybe the reason people in Denmark are so happy has nothing to do with being hygge but because they kick out all the immigrants as seen in the NPR article from YESTERDAY https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2018/03/30/593979013/... The fact that they pay the HIGHEST TAXES IN THE WORLD must make it very difficult to remain hygge.
ParameterOne··on Why Denmark dominates the World Happiness Report rankings year after year
Probably because on average they are taller than the rest of the world. If !that then idk.
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Do you agree with this statement about US phone market?
I bought a Oneplus3. And I don't think the market cares about what anyone says.
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Is an early exit strategy a bad sign?
<I seemed to read somewhere, a startup planning an early sell is not a sincere business>

I would imagine that MJ Demarco, author of the millionare fastlane would totally disagree.

ParameterOne··on Ask HN: What do you think is the one major thing missing from Kubernetes?
a good brand name.
