korroziya··on The Demon Core and the Strange Death of Louis Slotin (2016)
The 'ol spicy ball.
korroziya··on Nuclear Power Is the Answer to Global and Environmental Energy Woes
Most pro-renewables news articles are disingenuous at best, or propaganda.
korroziya··on Bob Lee, former CTO of Square, has died after being stabbed in San Francisco
There's plenty of inequality in Houston but you run the risk of getting shot if you try to mug someone. Food for thought.
korroziya··on The Cornell University Witchcraft Collection
It's not bigotry to mock modern-day women who think they have magical powers.
korroziya··on Law school dean discusses recent protest, outlines next steps
Did the Dean get help from chatGPT?
korroziya··on Ask HN: Are there banks/crypto companies immune to bank run?
"It pains me that even on hacker news (a more sophisticated discussion destination than most)"

Sophisticated is a weird way to spell pompous.

korroziya··on The American Diet Has a Sandwich Problem
Can't tell if this is sarcastic. Hispanic communities suffer from large amounts of obesity, some due to genetic issues, but diet is an overwhelming factor. A proper tortilla has three ingredients: flour, lard and salt. Not exactly a staple in a slimming diet.
korroziya··on NordVPN library and client code open-sourced
Can't read the words "Nord VPN" without hearing it in my head as Richard Coffin from The Plain Bagel.

Which is ironic as previously I had trouble separating it from Critical Role thanks to the ad skits Sam Riegel used to do.

korroziya··on Net-Zero Homes Aren’t Just for Millionaires
Story is about Colorado homes, and we all know how affordable housing is in Denver.

Sarcasm aside, I don't want to guess what The Atlantic writers/editors consider an affordable home. Most people can't afford to get a NON net-zero house these days, and that's not anywhere near a millionare budget.

korroziya··on No More Mr. Nice Guy: GitHub Demands Developers Use 2FA
Hopefully the developers don't use T-Mobile...
korroziya··on SVB collapse: Peter Thiel’s role scrutinized as spark of bank run
>and they have not yet had a direct conversation

Thank god.

korroziya··on The Evolution of Motorola Phones
I'm not required to type the way you see fit. HN needs to wake up and realize that it's not "muh secret club" where everyone is required to act like some cringe ultrapolite some wannabe philosopher. Try speaking your mind sometime instead of going out of your way to be pompous. You might find you like it.
korroziya··on Smartphones and social media are destroying children’s mental health
>The problem is that smoking is pretty much 100% bad

Smoking has far more benefits than social media, especially social benefits.

If you have a pack of 20 cigarettes at a bar, you have 20 new friends you haven't even met yet. Smokers stick together. Sharing a cigarette is a bonding moment for a lot of people.

I could go on. Fuck social media. I don't want to see underage girls whoring themselves out. I don't want to see man children acting cringe for likes. If I WANT to keep up with my family, I'll call them on the phone.

korroziya··on The Evolution of Motorola Phones
You can pretend that average people aren't making things worse all you want. Does not take away from the truth. Internet was better before the iPhone made it easy for normies to access it.
korroziya··on The Evolution of Motorola Phones
I wish the CEO's had been right. Keyboards > touchscreens.

The iPhone allowed normies to ruin everything. Instead of programs, we have apps. Instead of websites, we have walled gardens. Instead of bbs systems and forums, we have IG, Facebook and TikTok. Blame the normies.

Edit: Your downvotes mean nothing to me. I've seen what makes you upvote.

korroziya··on New research finds almost 90% of women penalized due to work achievements
My objective point about the inherent bias from a feminist website discussing women's issues > your pompous sarcasm.
korroziya··on New research finds almost 90% of women penalized due to work achievements
This.
korroziya··on New research finds almost 90% of women penalized due to work achievements
Clickbait news sites.
korroziya··on New research finds almost 90% of women penalized due to work achievements
I'm going to take commentary about women problems from a website called "women of influence" with the tiniest grain of salt.
korroziya··on Bee and butterfly numbers are falling, even in undisturbed forests
Your ability to read their post as well as your ability to reply to it is thanks to fossil fuels.

The food you eat is thanks to fossil fuels.

Your entire lifestyle, from heating your home to taking your medicine: thanks to fossil fuels.

If you don't like it, take your clothes off and go live in a cave.

korroziya··on Airbnb Is Banning People Who Are ‘Closely Associated’ with Already-Banned Users
10/10 satire.
korroziya··on Maybe treating housing as an investment was a mistake
Most working class people die with savings below five figures. You should re-evaluate how good you're doing.

Of course, if you live in California or New York, you're basically broke, since the cost of living in those states is designed to keep people poor. But that's why people left those two states in droves over the last few years.

korroziya··on NRC Grants “Timely Renewal” Exemption to Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant
Link to the NRC news release: https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/news/2023/ind...
korroziya··on No, Teen Suicide Isn’t Rising Because Life Got Objectively Worse
>no family trip this year

Rich kid problems.

korroziya··on Airbnb Is Banning People Who Are ‘Closely Associated’ with Already-Banned Users
"If ISIS had a streaming service you would be calling your agents," -Ricky Gervais
korroziya··on HackerFM – An AI Generated HN Podcast Using the New ChatGPT API
Man, they're even taking jobs away from podcasters. Most of those people don't even make money from it.
korroziya··on Airbnb Is Banning People Who Are ‘Closely Associated’ with Already-Banned Users
"Your politics hurt my feelings so you and anyone you know is banned from using my service."

How is this reasonable to anybody? Left wingers get mad when a baker pulls this on a gay couple but apparently it's ok as long as it's against someone they don't like?

korroziya··on No, Teen Suicide Isn’t Rising Because Life Got Objectively Worse
"Between 2007 and 2018, the suicide rate among Americans ages 10 to 24 increased by nearly 60 percent."

Right around the time social media garbage bloomed. Weird coincidence.

korroziya··on America Is Trying to Electrify. There Aren’t Enough Electricians
I never get surprised when I see perfectly resonable posts getting downvoted on HN. No lack of pompous snobs on here getting offended by honesty.
korroziya··on Rare insect found at Arkansas Walmart
You made a cheap glib remark about an entire scientific group and now you want to try and backtrack with a link as though you weren't acting like a pretentious teenager. Just take the loss and move on.
