There's no such thing as a "false flag", just as there's no such thing as a "false upvote". Fradulent? Abusive? Sure. But true/false implies these things are objective.

What I actually meant to say was that SV investing has ignored profit and looked at revenue for a while now.
This is a blanket statement and it’s very wrong.
Know better than to look at revenue versus profit. Then again, Silicon Valley seems to have long since given up on that idea!
I don’t know about that. George Lucas has managed to butcher his own movies after the fact, and newer audiences would never know.
Hundreds of thousands of people still believe that “Go Set a Watchman” is a new book as opposed to the first draft of “To Kill a Mockingbird.”
Interestingly, this means that copying stuff will not come back to bite you, even when you get popular - as long as you copy ideas and not assets/characters/etc.
You could also install extensions like stylish on Chrome and fix it therein. You could try blocking the CSS file from loading. [0]
Sure, we can prioritize shitting on the people who made the site, or Apple, or Google, but then your mom continues to have this issue. Shouldn't fixing that be the first priority, even if it involves some hacks?
And there it is.
Nobody likes change. If you hate it so much, go back.
Sure, it has its issues, but people who've been using it for a while are VASTLY more qualified to comment on that. If I'm used to skateboarding and I hate my first experience driving a car, should Toyota make a gap in the floor so I can push along with my foot?
At least MacOS is big enough that people don't launch gigantic misguided attempts at a replacement and derail their lives, like that guy who tried to make a "distraction-free" Slack alternative.
I don't think someone who puts this in their bio is qualified to make that comment:
> One of my favorite low key social engineering hacks is that I used to have a keylogger installed on every machine I own. Whenever a friend needs to hop on my machine to show me something, they'd log into an account they own and I would have their password.
You're lucky that not many people will tell you exactly what they think of that, thanks to HN guidelines.
If you think about it, this is also true for web3 — true enough that it's broken.
We don't live in a world where you can't take things from people, etc.
Ultimately, society works because we don't really need ironclad guarantees — and we don't have any.
This part can be addressed easily with avatars such as those Gravatar makes. Using a blockchain instead seems like a huge overkill, and also brings 'login' back into the equation, albeit with a different connotation than traditional login.
More specifically, they saw the success of PUBG and decided to copy it immediately. I suppose that still counts as a successful pivot!
You allude to this later in your comment, but it really isn't when it comes to paper (and to some extent, cardboard).
The irony in your comment re:fetishizing is that TFA talks of traditions whereas you say things like:
> She had supernaturally neat handwriting
For people with strong resumes, it's hard to leave home without tripping on the offer letters jammed under your front door.
It doesn’t take more than an encounter with a house cat to see how their hunting instincts work. They’re just not triggered by dead things.
This is setup to favor people who don’t understand taxes, so they don’t screw themselves over. It ends up screwing people who do understand taxes.
