thro1111111··on Kill Google AMP before it kills the web
Jokes on google, AMP sites always crash on my old iphone 4s (the one I use for mindless browsing), so I just avoid AMP content
thro1111111··on Don't tell people to turn off Windows Update
Do they stay deactivated even after updates?
thro1111111··on Ask HN: Is it a waste of time to teach yourself data science without a degree?
While this sounds rational, I don't think that's how it works in most cases. Those who do the hiring usually prefer covering themselves by hiring someone with a degree rather than having to explain how they hired you because you made millions to someone else in the past. Also while we understand the hacker culture, many only understand "degree > job", they can't comprehend why you don't have a degree if you are so good.
thro1111111··on Show HN: EatHow – Figure out what to make with the food you already have
I love how clear it's the headline. I see too many apps unable to explain what they do, instead you tell the user immediately. Even the rest of the copy on the home page it's really well-written. Nice work.

If I take some bricks, put sauce and cheese on them and call them pizza, they're still not pizza. State education is similar: it's called education, and it has some teaching moments, but it's still not about education.

It only kills in case of a serious incident. Incidents are rare. Coal pollution and deaths are guaranteed
thro1111111··on Google Talk Is Being Discontinued
It's not something needed. It's a plus, even if it influences society a lot, it's not something like food or healthcare, where if someone plays unfair people die. And it's not like net neutrality either, because you are not costrained by space (putting cables underground). People should be free to choose a service, and if the server want to stop providing the service or change the way it does ut, it should be free to do so. Anything else you can use contracts, or change provider, as long as there is net neutrality in place. And it's not something that messes with your health, so no justification for regulation aside from an arbitrary and unprovable "society being held back". Being unable to make something because of regulations, that's some real and provable holding back of innovation.
thro1111111··on We Might Soon Resurrect Extinct Species – Is It Worth the Cost?
I wish we could do stuff not "to save" or "make things better", but just because it's awesome (also greatness cannot be planned, so we don't know what a challenge like quasi-resurrecting exinct animals could teach us).
thro1111111··on Why Is Cancer More Common in Men?
What about both? Because it is both. Source: I am a man.
thro1111111··on Ask HN: Do you avoid Medium.com links?
Yes, because I browse using an iphone 4s with ios8 and medium crashes. To be honest most websites crash, so I mostly read HN comments.
