You're downvoted because you're exactly right. People on here generally can't handle inconvenient truths that include themselves. Never trust a person who can't rend their garments. > This generation No. Resoundingly…
Yeah, but when you stand up to snoops and crooks, you don't have to contort yourself in ways that are a.) undignified and b.) futile anyways, and c.) waste your own resources of which you have fewer than the server…
> Is it so difficult for you guys to just have a facebook account that you don't check in on? Yes. Is that so difficult for you to accept? Tough shit.
Allow people to tag their posts, and have friends who tag their posts. Then have an option to not see posts of type X (link, photo, text, video, audio) tagged with Y by contact Z. Have further options to display little…
Yes, I absolutely agree that plenty of commonly practiced or even accepted things are malicious, too, at least with the way they're hand waved away ("to improve our service" and worse).
Also see "to have or to be".

In kindergarten I asked a friend why "Hitler didn't like Jews". He said his grandmother was Jewish and he didn't like her, which made sense to us. When I was 9, my Jewish best friend and I had friendship armbands in…

I want to build and refine and improve and make useful and a lot of things, but not add credibility to such practices. And I want people to know what an URL is and how copy and paste works. Everything I write is…
What's "fully dependent"? If A going away makes B go away, I'd say that's pretty dependent. Shifting goal posts from that to "major difference" is silly, you could argue for anything that way, there are major…

True. I kind of settled at seeing it rather like art. What happened and all traces of it might be gone ultimately, but it still happened. It's purely subjective why anyone would prefer one thing over another happening,…
I wasn't at that school anymore when that happened, but a classmate killed himself when he was 18. He stabbed himself in the heart, and he fucking succeeded. He was a very kind and gentle person. Good looking and well…
Awesome, thanks!

What's the copyright? Would it be legal to unzip those and serve them directly, so archive.org or anyone else can make them more inviting for access? I know you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth but there's not…
Not that I don't get what you're saying, not that I never want revenge, but still, since I also tell this myself: can you imagine someone hurting a child who has not been damaged in some way? I'm not claiming to be…
But that doesn't "prevent spambots etc.", that merely prevents people from easily and instantly figuring out whether their bots are detected yet. It doesn't stop them from spamming votes, or from making their bots more…
How about, here and on reddit, being able to mark threads you're interested in, and having a page where you can see those sorted by last reply. On HN, make that page refresh every 15 or 60 minutes or whatever. Heck,…
I can't believe that apparently some people see "Tumblr" but not the "researcher employed by NATO". It's just text and images and video, the "place" where it's at matters only for the people having to pay for pipes,…

My takeaway from reading into these things was that at certain temperature breakpoints, lifetime decreases a LOT, way too much to want to get close to that. So I tried to find the rough limits and wrote down idle/load…
