From the very very start

Anything without the ability to delete user content becomes instantly unusable due to spam, pornbots and (if the site get big enough) CSAM.

Not only claimed, they've passed laws to that effect

Poor not in wealth but in quality of life, which is almost everyone.

No currently available spacecraft can make the trip and service JWST, it's also not really intended to be serviced.

Yes? What do you think that's a gotcha?

Criminals would be out of a buissness because it became illegal? Are you sure about that?

Zoning and regulating housing is like exactly what their "business" is in.

Early 2022 is just 4 months away actually

There's not many more capitalist places on the internet, the fact you identify HN as a "left wing mob" indicates you've completely lost touch with reality.

Proton's big tech under the hood is DXVK which translates DirectX calls to Vulkan. If MacOS were to add Vulkan support it probably could benefit from Proton. But Apple doesn't seem to care about Vulkan or modern graphics APIs in general.

Just because there's an algorithm involved doesn't make it objective in any way.

There is no objective answer to "How productive is this employee", it's not something you can measure empirically.

A slippery slope into what? Accountability?

If you're doing harm to others, profit is no excuse.

You can't predict something you can't explain by just pretending there's something to average. Game theory has it's uses, but this is just absurd.

Thanks your position is much more clear to me now.

Why the aversion to complaining? Sometimes things are bad and need changing, and sometimes all you can do is complain. There's a certain alure to saying "don't like it don't use it" and that being the end of it, but at the same time it doesn't acknowledge the fact that these concerns might be legitimate, and sure, something else can always be worse, but that doesn't really address the issues at hand.

The alternative to what the internet is now isn't no internet, change for the better is possible.

There are real structural issues with how the internet is de facto to most people, these are issues of power, governance and capital, turning your back on them doesn't make them go away. I understand why people can feel immense frustration at the current state of the internet (and perhaps the world in general) without making the drastic step to restructure their life around avoiding a utility most of the world runs on.

For most people here, getting rid of the internet would also mean changing careers to one of the few remaining things you can do professionally without using the internet.

"You criticize thing yet you also use it, how curious" is such a banal take it's literally a meme.

Most car models come with various engine options, sure you can't get a V8 in your focus but you can choose between various displacement Gas/Diesel/Hybrid options. In fact the current model year ford focus ships with 14 engine variations.

The question is not "Does the term grey market have a meaning?" the question posed was "Is the use of the term perpetuating an unhealthy view of commerce to advantage manufacturers?".

After you've been sold a product, the manufacturer has no authority on how you use it or where you resell it. Since the manufacturer doesn't have this authority they you can't be legally circumenvting authorized channels when reselling it.

There is nothing "gray" about second hand.

What exactly in my reply are you referring to? I wasn't implying anything about above ground tunnels, construction doesn't get cheaper or easier when you put the tunnels under ground, in fact the opposite is true.

What problem exactly is it solving that isn't solved better by a train?

You still need to secure the land and build the track but instead of a cheap traditional track you need a low-pressure vessel. The costs and increased complexity are really not worth the shorter trip times.

The hyperloop is just a shittier more expensive train, I really don't see it ever taking off.

The flatness is almost entirely canceled out by the relentless 20km/h+ wind

I only ask that you develop your own sense of morality and abide by it.

Moral decency doesn't warrant reward.

There's a LOT more to wealth than GDP/person, saying postwar america wasn't rich is absurd.

All valve games (except maybe ricochet) have native linux support.

You do not understand what the parent comment meant. It's not bug fixing he's opposed to. It's busywork and the idea that a programmer themselves have no idea how their time might be well spent. So much human potential wasted by corporate efficiency tyrants that do nothing other than burn out their employees.

If the binaries were the only way to access GNU or Linux then yes, obviously. That's not the case now is it.

What a patently absurd take. Implying that the only part of Melinda's experience that matters is how much money she has access to. If you really think she's experienced no negatives due to her gender I ask you to consider what common negative experience would be for women, I'm sure you'll find that status and wealth don't much change the nature of these experiences.
