Irrelevant? This is a solved problem. Use RDS. Flagged.

I don't really see why the death of a drug addicted professional athlete is relevant here. Flagged.
bartonfink··on Ask HN: Unpopular ideas that you believe in and why?
It is both possible and simple to outrun your fork. Anyone who says it is impossible has never made a serious attempt.
bartonfink··on Apple's homework is due Monday no matter what, says judge
They provided exactly the same level of "statistics" you did. Try harder, champ.
bartonfink··on [dead]
You can change your attitude here and play the game of trying to lose whatever karma you have. They won't let you remove posts, so they can have toxic ones as well. I find a sort of balance in being a vitriolic jerk on here.

Police incompetence and overreach.
bartonfink··on Against all odds, an asteroid mining company appears to be making headway
Tone policing is a weak retort. If you'd rather we just sing Kumbayah and talk about science fiction then yeah! We could even staff these centrifuges with autonomous bipedal androids a la Lt. Commander Data. Those are becoming attainable in much the same way as your mechanically simple, cost effective, never been built zero g metal gas centrifuges. Learn something with that big brain of yours.

bartonfink··on Ares Industries – Building low-cost cruise missiles
lmao at equating "extremely brittle and vulnerable" with "susceptible to multiple nuclear missiles shot to geostationary orbit". thanks for the chuckle.
bartonfink··on On finishing projects
I don't want to be too abrasive, but people without families or hobbies tend to fuck up work life balance for the rest of us. It's very tiring dealing with people like you who do nothing but work and bitch about how they don't have anything else going on.

bartonfink··on Resume Tip: Hacking "AI" screening of resumes

bartonfink··on Show HN: People think I'm cold for not using emojis, so I made an LLM app for it
What the fuck do you care about people's opinion of your emoji use?
