meta2023··on Twitter has banned Mastodon links in name and bio for being “malware”
> nor fit for a comment on HN

You're right, we should all emulate PG and just assume Musk is right instead of having the intestinal fortitude to call out grifters and stop encouraging idolatry of these pieces of shit.

meta2023··on Twitter has banned Mastodon links in name and bio for being “malware”
Best part is every action he takes with Twitter further tanks Tesla's market cap as everyone realizes he's an unhinged pathetic ignorant fuck.
meta2023··on Twitter applies 7-day suspension to half a dozen journalists
Watching VC elites ever so slowly realize Elon is a piece of shit conman is hilarious.
meta2023··on Bipartisan Legislation to Ban TikTok
Fuck Elon/Twitter. We need a new actual visionary to build the next generation of social media, not a power-hungry alt-right panderer.
meta2023··on Ask HN: Why are some YC startups not posting salary ranges when law requires it?
Some tangible examples are: credit card transaction data, individual geolocation or foot-traffic data from mobile phone sdks or carriers themselves, receipts scraped/exfiltrated from email inboxes, individual browsing history, or highly targeted web scraped data.

All "anonymized" of course.

meta2023··on Ask HN: Why are some YC startups not posting salary ranges when law requires it?
The user in question sells alt data. If they’re remotely competent at doing so, they have zero need to work at a startup much less a YC-funded one.
meta2023··on As Carvana crashes, used car dealers, not buyers, stand to win big
It didn’t benefit Drivetime at all, but father & son more than made up for it by selling off CVNA as it rallied to $370 last year.

Give it a year or two, it’ll all come out.

meta2023··on As Carvana crashes, used car dealers, not buyers, stand to win big
There was a whole lot of fraud going on between Carvana (public) and DriveTime (private). It'll come out in due course.
meta2023··on Not-so-great features coming soon to Windows 11
Those features are annoying, I agree, but they're also a checkbox away from being disabled. Less time than it took you to write this rant.
meta2023··on Just use Postgres for everything
Have you considered you’re just a shitty dev?
meta2023··on Fine-grained locking with two-bit mutexes
Readable font-sizes don't come cheap!
meta2023··on CircleCI Layoffs
You're being downvoted for telling people exactly why they got laid off. It's time to wake the fuck up engineers. When you complacently don't pay attention to your business and core offering, this is what happens.
meta2023··on NopeCHA: Captcha Solver
abused? it’s a captcha solver. I’d argue abuse (from the perspective of the target website/app) is the primary business case.
meta2023··on Why People Think PHP Sucks (2014)
That’s true in every dynamic scripting language.
meta2023··on Show HN: Using stylometry to find HN users with alternate accounts
The username in question isn't in this dataset but maybe it was created in the past 10 days, as the max(timestamp) is Nov 16th, 2022.
