It’s the interaction of the two.

It’s an interesting look into HN.

Charitably, this is an astroturf that accumulated 200+ upvotes in about 20 minutes, which I suspect is highly irregular for HN. Along, with a very clear concerted effort to quickly downvote anyone pointing out this is isn’t HN. If this is the case, what is HN admin doing about it?

Less charitably, HN is not where hackers hang out anymore. The hackers have moved on and HN is now this.

That's because it is a cop out.

When talking about Israel, it's always couched in terms of universal human rights. When confronted with their lack of advocacy for the human rights of practically anyone else, their cognitive fallback is that they only care for what they feel the U.S. government is responsible for, and that it's not really about universal human rights, and never was. Then, when no one is paying attention anymore, they swing back to being avowed universal human rights activists who just happen to be condemning Israel.

In light of recent trends, Tesla is signaling supreme confidence in its prospects by already pursuing enshittification.

There has been much prognostication about the internet blackout but it misses the real issue. The internet blackout only works perfectly when there are no media backed journalists on the ground. The absolute absence of any reporting from foreign journalists on the ground anywhere in Iran is striking.

There was even some reporting from Tiananmen Square in 1989, and from Baghdad in 1991.

News media has ceased to be a meaningful investigative endeavor.

That’s still not a shared experience.

> Also what's up with the people hiking (by themselves) with a bluetooth speaker. You're by yourself, in nature. If you want to listen to music wear headphones!!

I used to hold this same opinion. Unfortunately, times have changed and now everyone is constantly in their phones, isolated in their own universes, typically with earbuds or headphones. At least the obnoxious speaker dude is present; in a shared physical reality with the world around him. A lesser evil.

> And the research was out there! Does everybody only read this single Harvard literature review? Does nobody read journals, or other meta studies, or anything? Did the researchers from other institutions whose research was criticized not make any fuss?

They did. But Ancel Keys, one of the bribed researchers, author of the infamous seven countries study that laid the groundwork against fat made it his life’s mission to discredit anyone who researched sugar. He effectively made the topic academic suicide. His primary target, that served as a warning example for others was his contemporary in the U.K. John Yudkin.

Because it's BS. The rules are secondary to someone's political agenda.

I agree. It's objectively nonsense with regards to AirPods and Apple Watches in particular. Both are extremely dominant in their respective categories for many years at this point. Objectively, Apple is not alienating its "long-time customers". Someone raging about his perceived wastefulness of AirPods is out of touch with the vast majority of people.

But people love to rage and be enraged on the internet. So anyone pointing the vacuity of the enraged is downvoted and cast aside.

America is founded on the principle of human selfishness. People are selfish, so let’s harness it instead of pretending that people are utopian selfless creatures.

More recently, selfishness has taken second seat to hurting the “other” (whatever other happens to be) even to the detriment of one’s own self interests. America is not built for this.

Maybe you don’t understand the role of the BLS or what it does. Maybe you’ve been sold a bill of goods that it is supposed to be an infallible oracle, when it is, in fact, a useful measurement device with limitations that have been well known for decades.

That Signal data doesn’t just transfer like any other data on iOS when upgrading phones is seriously dumb.

Wrap it in whatever security deemed necessary (or make migration/backup opt-in), but just let the blob copy over like every other app on the planet.

This cumbersome backup nonsense is a senseless no more secure bandaid for a problem that shouldn’t exist in the first place.

Up until yesterday it was vaccines. Now it’s acetaminophen, and nobody is batting an eyelash at the about face.

Like a printed sign.

One more app to replace basic social etiquette and community that seem to be inexorably dissolving thanks to people too preoccupied with their screens.

There is ample evidence that hallucinations are incurable in the best extant model of intelligence - people.

That you’ve resorted to quibbling about the literal meaning of a common piece of figurative speech is pretty funny. It also implies you have nothing of substance to actually say on the topic. Instead, you’ve chosen ad-hominem.

How can you in good conscience write such obvious, and easily falsifiable falsehoods?

I’m not saying cops are always free of fault, and yes, some are trigger happy goons. But in an environment that affords close to zero reaction time, it is no surprise that cops are trained the way they are, and behave the way they do. Indeed, they are not in danger most of the time. But when they are, they have close to no time to think about it. As a result, it is in the interest of their own well being to assume that all situations are dangerous and to act accordingly.

These arbitrary distinctions are in your mind. The real world is messy, and there is an algorithmic fallacy at the core of your argument.

You've carefully laid out why carrying a chambered weapon is critical for minimizing the reaction time to a perceived threat. So you've explained why a suspect has his gun chambered. It's anyone's guess when that suspect decides he has "identified an immediate violent threat" in the cop near him. Now the cop, by definition, must identify and respond faster than the suspect pulling out his chambered weapon. That doesn't work well for the cop, and you've optimized away any time for his to reason and react about the situation he's in.

You haven't reasoned about anything you are saying.

> Lots of informative comments in the thread about how carrying with a chambered round reduces the time and complexity to getting a shot off.

This information should be kept in mind whenever anyone, especially a gun advocate, expresses dismay at the frequency of police shootings in America. America is so awash in guns, and people willing to use them, that for the average cop it is better to shoot first and ask questions later than to risk returning home in a body bag. We’ve just been informed that in threatening situations there is no time to chamber a round, but cops are simultaneously supposed to take the time to evaluate the threat to their safety.

Desktop on Mac does if you swipe to scroll. It doesn't if you drag the scroll bar to scroll. On Windows, a scroll wheel doesn't bounce either. It doesn't need to when the scroll wheel itself provides physical feedback that you actually did something.

Touch interfaces tend to need some visual (or artificial haptic) feedback because touch itself is not enough.

Initial Android had scroll bars with no overshoot specific indication.

Overshoot is important for scroll views. Without the bounce, there is no feedback if you have scrolled to the edge or not. Early Android lacked the bounce, and it would invariably lead to users scrolling again to be sure they had indeed scrolled to the edge of the view.

I don't understand your convoluted question. In any case, I'm fairly certain it misses the point. Going after people via their taxes is not going to achieve the intended effect of kicking people out. Instead it will backfire in unintended ways, just like prohibition boosted and cemented organized crime in America.

Yes, and the goal of prohibition was to end alcohol consumption. Instead it cemented organized crime in America.

There is an unmistakable hint of cognitive dissonance when the administration believes that the best way to get at "freeloading" illegal immigrants is through their taxes.

That’s one way to push generally law abiding, tax paying people into the black market where they won’t pay taxes, and have a higher likelihood of dabbling in criminal enterprise.

Picking the absolute worst person for a particular job is Trump’s MO. Trump selects for either compromised individuals, or people with an ax to grind against the organization they are appointed to head. The reason is because compromised people are going to be dependent on his good graces, and hence absolutely loyal to him personally.

The Irish call it genocide, but find that nobody agrees with them. Well, because the definition doesn’t agree with them. So they want to change the definition. As you yourself just admitted, it’s not a genocide as per the definition. Otherwise, there would be no need to change it so that “I can’t be flippant”
