vsuperpower2021··on California companies wrote their own gig worker law. Now no one is enforcing it
Who could they possibly have blackmailed? Voters wanted it, because like you said, there were flyers and popups everywhere and people just vote for whatever has the biggest advertising budget. That's democracy for you.
vsuperpower2021··on Oakland's new school buses reduce pollution and double as giant batteries
Sorry, we can't improve school buses because Oakland is a shithole. Sorry, no space travel, Oakland is a shithole. No one is allowed to do anything good until Oakland looks like wakanda.
vsuperpower2021··on Coding on iPad using self-hosted VSCode, Caddy, and code-server
I always wondered what would happen when the ipad kids grew up. Can't say I expected them to start trying to use it to program.
vsuperpower2021··on Many small queries are efficient in SQLite
Sqlite isn't something that works for only apple or google. Point is it's sufficient for them, simple, and more than sufficient for you. He's explaining to you that this is something that has already happened as you're unaware.
vsuperpower2021··on Caltech, long a bastion of male students, enrolls first class of majority women
Pearl clutching and shrieking about objectification is so 8 years ago. Doesn't really work anymore because it doesn't drive an emotional reaction; people just roll their eyes and move on. This appears to be your special interest but you're responding to normal, healthy men as if they just killed your dog.
vsuperpower2021··on Caltech, long a bastion of male students, enrolls first class of majority women
I don't support "real equality" and never have.
vsuperpower2021··on Caltech, long a bastion of male students, enrolls first class of majority women
Men drop out of college; women most affected
vsuperpower2021··on Caltech, long a bastion of male students, enrolls first class of majority women
Most colleges and university are majority women. The one I went to had 2 women for 1 man. This was unambiguously a mistake.
vsuperpower2021··on Matching dinosaur footprints found on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean
They are also 20 feet tall and wear propeller hats, no doubt.
vsuperpower2021··on US hospital told family their daughter had checked out when in fact she'd died
Ridiculous. Stop playing pointless language games.
vsuperpower2021··on US hospital told family their daughter had checked out when in fact she'd died
This is one of those things where people think that because they learned something in set theory 101 or intro to computers that it maps perfectly to real life situations.
vsuperpower2021··on Crypto 'pig butchering' scam wrecks bank, sends ex-CEO to prison for 24 years
This still doesn't make sense. The connection between "feasting all day on a pig" and what you've described is non-existent.
vsuperpower2021··on The U.S. Navy's $100M checkbox (2019)
The user is either a web developer or has some neurological disorder that dulls his ability to react. There's no other explanation for not knowing how long 250 ms is.
vsuperpower2021··on US Judge Strikes Down Ban on Worker 'Noncompete' Agreements
On that note, I fell for a union scam. They got an entire day of propaganda to give me, and made it clear I had to sign up if I wanted to keep working there. Turns out they're paper tigers, but it took 1 click to sign up online, and I have to send them a signed certified letter at the start of the year to cancel...
vsuperpower2021··on Procreate's anti-AI pledge attracts praise from digital creatives
You'd think it would too since apple openly advertises how good the newer hardware is at AI. No idea where the above user got the idea that they had no ability to do that.
vsuperpower2021··on Greenwich schools to ban most cellphones, Apple Watches, Fitbits and more
More realistically the phone would be good for calling for advice after you get molested by a teacher. a million times more likely than getting shot. If it's so bad, why not just homeschool?
vsuperpower2021··on Tell HN: X stopped requiring authentication, nitter works again
Can you come up with a better reason? I don't want normal people who just don't want to make 200 accounts with phone verification to read text to be associated with this.
vsuperpower2021··on Surgeons Cut a Giant Tumor Out of My Head. Is There a Better Way?
article fails to load text partway through. why are websites so bad at doing this?
vsuperpower2021··on Why won't some people pay for news? (2022)
The vast majority of stories don't make it to wikipedia, and wikipedia just regurgitates shit it gets from the news. If I could find an answer online I wouldn't need the news to actually do their job.
vsuperpower2021··on A Texas "moth man" photographed 550 species in his own yard
It's pretty well known that PhD certificates don't have the same value as they used to. Having more of them is a side effect of that.
vsuperpower2021··on Why won't some people pay for news? (2022)
I'll add onto this a complaint I have that I don't see mentioned often. News articles always cover the first half of a story when it's hot and never follow up. It's obnoxious if you have an attention span longer than whatever is happening at the exact moment.
vsuperpower2021··on Why won't some people pay for news? (2022)
Why won't some people pay for blockbuster movies?
vsuperpower2021··on Show HN: High-precision date/time in SQLite
You can find dozens of SQlite databases on a single phone if you want to be pedantic
vsuperpower2021··on Programmers Don't Read Books – But You Should (2008)
This also isn't a programming book. It's a business methodology book that is probably more harmful than beneficial.
vsuperpower2021··on Programmers Don't Read Books – But You Should (2008)
Design Patterns is your suggestion of a book that isn't shit? Even the list of "a-ha" books has random landmines tossed in.
vsuperpower2021··on Susan Wojcicki has died
It's not worth much!
vsuperpower2021··on Susan Wojcicki has died
Tech companies should spend more time banning people from talking about things I would personally prefer they didn't.
vsuperpower2021··on Susan Wojcicki has died
In general if you want people to take you seriously, don't make statements like "Two things can be true." It reeks of reddit condescension where they can't make a simple statement without implying the other party is stupid enough to think that only one thing can ever be true at once.
vsuperpower2021··on Susan Wojcicki has died
What's with all the pearl clutching today? If you want to act morally outraged, at least find something even mildly offensive to respond to.
vsuperpower2021··on Base 3 Computing Beats Binary
No, it's better because it's closer to pi (3.14...). The reason for this is that pi can be used to measure the area of a circle and circles are the most divine shape.
