all 0 requests to stop, just constant downvotes for telling people, rightfully, how much boot they're guzzling

How do corporate boots taste there, bud?

The article headline literally says "luxury condo".

"some are just folks renting an extra room out"

That's a landlord.

"AMD, we're getting to the point of too many different product lines."

I legitimately do not understand writing your post directly addressing AMD as if they're actually listening to you.

"Every month a notable company goes public. Every week a hot startup raises millions of dollars. And every day moms, pops, and teens check on their stocks."

"Once the shoeshine boy and the taxi driver offer stock tips, it’s time to sell."

"Some number of successful people were assholes, therefore in order to be successful you should be an asshole."

I cannot fathom how this logic even works.

"I might go from making an absurd amount of money to making a slightly less absurd amount of money."

Cry me a river. There are tech workers barely getting by because they're being forced into being considered "contractors".

Again, if you think "black lives are more valuable than property" is absurd then you really need to think about what that says about you.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

If your immediate reaction to statistics (which I am not claiming the accuracy of, by the way, since you provide no sources) is "oh, it's because they're black" then congratulations, you're a racist!

Furthermore, the protests have not died down, there have been events that sparked more protests in more places. They're just not being reported as much because "oh well that's old time to move on to the next thing", says the media.

It brings my heart such great joy to know that there are people out there like you who are willing to argue about trivialities that don't actually matter.

Not everything is a deep philosophical discussion that needs to get down to absolute true statements.

Sometimes it's just someone, like me, who is sick of black people being literally murdered by police and thinks it's absurd that white assholes get more worked up over some property than over black lives.

I literally don't give a single shit about absolute ethical principles.

I give a shit about black lives.

Black lives matter, shut the hell up already.

Assuming that I'm so stupid as to honestly believe that a papercut is equivalent to burning down a store is absolutely an insult to intelligence.

You'll find that people are more likely to engage with you when you don't treat them like an absolute idiot.

Stores already do tons of stuff to try to thwart these.

I worked at a store years ago and we had all these things implemented:

- Limit on gift card purchase amounts per customer, per day.

- Stopped stocking Western Union cards because they were such a scam target.

- There was also a scam where scammers would call the store itself to pose as a "corporate employee" who was "trying to verify that the gift card redemption system was working" and would have the cashier activate a gift card, run it as cash, and read off the numbers. And apparently that worked well enough that every time we activated certain gift cards, a massive box popped up on the POS screen saying "IF THIS TRANSACTION IS HAPPENING OVER THE PHONE, HANG UP IMMEDIATELY AND CANCEL THE TRANSACTION."

At a certain point there's only so much that can be done by the store itself.

There's a really funny thing about language, it's fascinating really: All words are made up.

I'll take "things literally nobody is saying" for 500, Alex.

Gold plating is used a lot in electronics contacts to prevent corrosion, it's a pretty proven method that should work just fine without wearing away easily. As far as I understand it, the gold chemically bonds to the metal it coats, so it's not easy to wear it away.

I've also never seen a source for the claim of black-owned businesses being destroyed during these riots, I've begun to believe it's just intentional misinformation.

So you're saying that you think that some property is more important than murders of innocent people by police that have been going on for decades?

If that's not what you're saying, you should make yourself clear. Because you imply that you don't agree with my perspective, which I think is pretty straightforward and clear - people are more important than property.

Exactly. When I read,

"two main arguments: damaging a person is morally more serious than damaging an object, and psychologically damaging a person is worse than physically damaging an object."

I couldn't help but think "Yes? That's exactly correct. Who would ever think otherwise?"

which I see you're excited to engage in yourself!

There is nothing in my comment that indicates that I'm looking to engage in a "political slapfight" - that's entirely your deal.

I don't see how this is on-topic in the slightest, nor how this could lead to any form of useful discussion on this site.

Regardless, if you agree with the article wholeheartedly, maybe stop to consider why you're getting more worked up over destruction of some property than over the decades-long oppression of black, hispanic and other minority communities by the police.

Ah right, I forgot that there's no animal feed or landscaping supplies that come in bags conveniently packaged for light usage relevant to homeowners.

If you need literal truckloads of bulk supplies often enough to justify owning a truck then congratulations you're probably running a landscaping company or something so you might need a truck.

And that's clearly not what I'm talking about at all in this thread.

Right? People arguing about home ownership is hilarious.

I have hauled multiple loads of mulch, other landscaping stuff and animal feed when helping my parents at their home/small farm in the summer.

I have moved in and out of college dorms/houses with all of my belongings (including my TV, kitchen equipment, lots of electronics lab equipment that I purchased to resell as a side-gig in college...)

All using a 2005 Buick LeSabre.

Good for you. I personally know plenty of people who buy trucks who have never put anything in the bed that couldn't have been put in the trunk of a hatchback.

Suburbanites who want to have a truck because they think it makes them look cool.

Please explain why you think property is the same importance as human lives being destroyed by people who were sworn to protect them.

I wonder how much of a potential there is for abuse with this system, one thing I thought of during the keynote was:

1. Someone sticks a malicious NFC tag on one of those rental scooters that opens a malicious App Clip

2. The App Clip seems like it could be for the rental service

3. App Clip maliciously takes your money and runs.

Wonder how much something like that could become a problem or if Apple would be good enough about preventing/stopping it.

Imagine asking random commenters on "hacker" "news" for investment advice.

How much have you consistently lost with this strategy?
