I think they're referring to this article: https://www.nrk.no/osloogviken/xl/tiktok-doesn_t-show-the-wa...

It came up on HN a few months back

I've been using the MX Anywhere mouse from Logitech for over a decade now and I think it's had this feature for most of that time.

the comma and adding "three" make this sentence worse imo. Don't care what the "proper" grammar rules say

I really despise working with people who behave like this. The main problem is this turns the disucssion into written and asychronous. On a phone call there is so much more nuance, so many more questions that can be asked and so much more information for both parties.

When it's just async written messages, I'm constantly only able to say 1/10th of what's on my mind only for it to be misunderstood by the other person hours later. Sure you can blame it on me for being poor at written communication but I'd argue the other person is always just as bad too. They just think it's the other person and not them.

What's stopping websites from just removing '+company' from 'username+company@gmail.com' and emailing you at 'username@gmail.com'?

Even if the website you provide it to doesn't do that. Anyone who buys it can.

I'm guessing the answer is, "Most companies are too lazy", but that seems like a weak behavior to depend on.

There's an intro bit you have on color and how it behaves in additive vs subtractive mediums. To this day, I feel like it was one of the most concise and well explained overviews I've ever read.

I still plan on working through your book "eventually", but I just wanted to thank you for that first bit.

That my whole point though. 10M isn't worth putting your name in "just in case"? That's why it's funny to me. It's like saying I wouldn't cross the street to pick up $10M but I would for $1B.

I don't care what the EV is, when your chance of winning is 1 in 302,575,350 you're better off selling your house and betting it all on black

I used to think the same thing but I've come full circle to believe that any behavior humans take place in, regardless of the consequences, should be legal and regulated opposed to banned/illegal. Money just ends up flowing to cartels and much more unsavory/unethical organizations.

Drugs, prostitution and even gambling fall into this category. It's certainly the lesser of two evils and not perfect. As others have pointed out I'd much rather live in a world that treats prostitution like Amsterdam or drugs like Portugal than the current war on drugs, police militarization, security theater surveillance state we are in right now.

I've always found it funny when sales skyrocket when the jackpot is unusually high. 10M isn't that appealing but suddenly 1B is?

I understand the lizard brain mentality, not trying to knock anyone, I just get a little chuckle out of it
