Yep. Like the hysteria about China trolling through my (American citizen) data from my phone. CCP probably isn't going to extraordinarily rendition me, whatever horrible, unkind, true-or-untrue things I say about them. The US Government? Fuck no I don't want them going through my data, they've already proven they don't actually give a fuck about the piece of paper from which they derive power.

what are they going to do, sue?

My understanding of the TurboTax free edition

is wrong. TurboTax has a product they will sell you when you search for "turbotax free edition". They will allow you to fill it out for free. They will hold your hand (for free) while you do it. What they won't do is file the return you filled out, until you give them money. For that, you need to go find the actual free tax return (start at https://apps.irs.gov/app/freeFile/) and do it all over again, if you fell for the ads TurboTax bought.

EDIT: The above is correct if you made over $72k in 2020. If you made under $72k but still have questions about your investment options and house sales, please don't give me financial advice.

Your source linked to a NYT story that says it was updated four days after original posting. As if they received new information and reported on it.

Your source also says "According to Capitol police, Sicknick later had a stroke. It is now being investigated whether he inhaled bear spray, and whether that may have contributed to his sudden death." Where are your source's sources? And does it matter if Sicknick died from being beaten to death or as a (possible) result of inhaling bear spray?

They're not weaponizing copyright, they're weaponizing Instagram's copyright-infringement-avoidance filter. HN really should look into their headline editing policy, because it really does change the context of the conversation in this instance.

There aren't any anti-apple ads in your google amp link. Not even when I load them up in amp-player. Maybe macobserver.com fixed it, but I doubt it.

oh stop

I would also be interested in data showing that people being run into were mostly at fault. That's not how things happen in MI.

sparrish> I suppose smaller cars are harder to see at intersections (side-impact) and when in traffic, smaller cars can't see past the larger vehicles in front of them to see the traffic stopping so braking response is slower.

phjesusthatguy3> You appear to be blaming the person being run into, which is almost always wrong (at least in Michigan) ITYM people in larger cars can't see what's going on in front of them (side-impact) and when in traffic, larger vehicles can't stop in time.

To make it clear: I'm blaming the vehicle that runs into the other vehicle. You appear to be saying "if the vehicle that got run into was more visible, it wouldn't have gotten run into"

What is the "it" you are referring to?

Who, in your opinion, are "the gatekeepers/editors of legacy corporate media outlets"?

Reddit appified USENET.

Michigan State University just finally (last year, maybe the year before) killed my personal site I had set up when I was a student in 1994. It had one picture on it.

I have a hunch that if Google actually wanted to fix the issue, they could afford to pay enough people enough money to find a solution.

In the meantime, they're doing this.

I've seen numerous ads for Peleton; I have no idea what Concept 2 is, much less some ad on YC for yet another YC product I'm not going to buy.

In addition, I've seen at least one New York Times article (each) wringing their hands about Biden riding a Peleton and wearing a Rolex, like it's surprising that US Presidents are inordinately rich.

Anyway, I'm gonna get my fat ass back on the hydraulic rowing machine I have stored in my basement before I buy anything else from anyone.

I'm not saying I agree with him, but I'm on a 15Mb down 2Mb up cable modem, and everyone's experience got a lot better once I got an OpenWRT-capable router and turned on Smart Queue Management. I frequently have two Rokus streaming 1080p, two laptops on youtube and an old machine in the basement running torrents, plus my phones connected to a PBX hundreds of miles away, and no one complains that their videos hang or their phone calls stutter (that was the real problem before, poor-quality phone calls).

I don't honestly understand how it works, but it's amazing[0]. I'm okay with the packet loss in that graph, because I think that's how traffic control does its job?

TFA's original title "Bill Gates: America’s Top Farmland Owner" seems fine. Did the submitter editorialize the current title of "Bill and Melinda Gates revealed as largest private farmland owners in US" or was there some other reason for changing it?

If we're going to edit the title, can we at least change it to the more honest "EU company temporarily suspends exports to UK after Brexit"?

I think most of the negative sentiment against Cyberpunk 2077 comes from three sources:

Having watched a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5pHpQqhmR4) of how it runs on PS4, I now clearly see where all this hate comes from.

Yes, and that's why TFA links to playstation.com, where you can get a refund for your PS4 purchase. This isn't about the game in general, this is about the awful PS4 version.

This can't be sponsored by Amazon because Amazon wants something for nothing. This can't be sponsored by Google because Google wants everything.

Show that there's something there to donate to and I'll get some money to you.

That's probably more like it. The Lockhorns seem to dislike eachother most of the time.

There's a fantastic review of Garfield Kart Furious Racing on rockpapershotgun[0]

The Lockhorns?

I'm looking forward to these machines coming on the second-hand market. I have no interest in running MacOS but (hopefully) it will be a great platform for running Debian.

They're not renting media to you, they're selling you an access license to something they may or may not have at any given moment. Literally Nothing-as-a-Service.

That was one quick bite.

I think it's a huge step forward that internet folk can discount you now because "all you are" is a gay white man expressing your beliefs.

Google didn't ask me if I put my trash in a can or my litter in a bin; I just have a folder where my deleted emails go.

Google has the resources to find an answer to your question. It's embarrassing to all of us that they refuse to do so.
