What exactly am I supposed to do when another user is stalking me besides tell them off?

How am I using multiple accounts abusively? I’ve been using them to make substantive comments when prevented from doing so by ratelimits, which is something actively encouraged by your webdesign.

I write a good comment, get hit by the ratelimit, am I just supposed to throw it away? That’s shitty. The right and proper thing to do would be to inform me of the ratelimit before I waste my time writing a comment I can’t post.

I don’t think you can criticize the comment histories of my other accounts like https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=doldols , I’ve been using them to make substantive contributions, not to abuse people.

It’s not a quote when it’s a counteroffer in a negotiation.

How are you not totally creepy and demented yourself, since you're the one who's losing your shit when somebody truthfully points out that you're a sock puppet

I make that fact clear in my messages, I don’t make any effort to hide my multiple accounts.

I already told jacquesm that I only use multiple accounts to get around ratelimits on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31240871

It’s weird and creepy that he continues to follow me around after that.

why are you so desperately trying to conceal your numerous false identities?

I’m obviously not, put down the pipe.

It was also spectacularly unwise for you to go on the record with your threats to commit extortion and fraud and libel and identity theft. But you be you. You can't unring that bell, and I'm sure Dan will be happy to provide the IP addresses of all of your sock puppet accounts to the authorities, if it comes to that.

Nobody cares lmao. Back in the real world you won’t be able to find a single police officer interested in these kinds of things, much less many police officers in several countries which it would take for anyone to even reach me.

This is absolutely illegal and you can get your passport back within a day or two by just calling MOHRE.

A decade ago this stuff may have been more common, but the government has cracked down heavily to the point that it doesn’t exist any more than it does in Europe.

Restaurants, flight connections, quality of services, friendly tax regime. Restaurants obviously being the most important metric.

Sure, it’ll lose out to London, Paris, Barcelona, New York, Los Angeles, …

But it won’t lose out to cities like Manchester or Liverpool.

I haven't ever been in a place that felt so fake and liveless. The only thing you can do is go to the mall.

That’s not true at all. Mall is probably the last place anyone should go to in Dubai.

Instead of going to the Mall, you could drive a little and go view the wonderful collection at Louvre Abu Dhabi.

You could also go eat excellent sushi at the little (and cheap) 3 Fils at the local Fishing harbor in Jumeirah. There’s also a decent seafood restaurant next door run by local fishermen.

On Palm there’s the excellent Ibn AlBahr run by a group of Lebanese(?) fishermen.

Deira too is full of nice authentic places.

But sure, if you’re a mall enthusiast then a shitty mall is all you will find. If you seek out nice authentic places, they’re easy to find.

It’s not a place where you live all year round.

It’s nice for a week or two, but gets boring pretty fast. You can only eat at L’Atelier so many times.

But it’s surely better than almost every other city in the world.

Places that allow the rich to prevent themselves from being taxed by their home countries do not deserve existence.

Sounds like you are describing almost every single country on earth!

I think what you really object to is countries offering attractive tax regimes.

Sure, for pages that you don’t hope anyone to actually find.

* .eu can be used as an alternative to .com for businesses and organizations in the EU.

This is bad advice. Nobody should use .eu

That only makes sense if you totally ignore the context. In context it was clearly a counteroffer.

As it turns out, when read in context this tweet is perfectly in line with many others on his account.

OP wrote the tweet and forgot, then got pissed when this was pointed out to him. I think we’ve all seen this with elderly relatives.

Twitter wasn’t hacked. OPs twitter account wasn’t hacked. OPs computer wasn’t hacked.

OP wrote this tweet and forgot. When read in context, it’s perfectly in line with pro-Ukraine views previously expressed on his account.

This particular tweet would be a fairly peculiar one to post on a hacked account.

It’s really surprising that his account would get banned for it in the first place.

avoid the potential Streisand effect when the truth gets discovered

That’s never going to happen. Twitter would never publicly call him out even if the story was entirely fabricated, they just wouldn’t respond.

Not really. If you weren’t a prolific HN commenter this would be the top comment here.

Right now you’re making an extraordinary claim with zero evidence. Pointing this out isn’t “out of line”.

E: As it turns out, not only was I not out of line, I was also entirely correct. You wrote this tweet Jacques, you just forgot. It’s not unusual at your age.

It’s time for you to apologize.

Your example is completely irrelevant, nobody asked for a quote here. Jump made an offer and received a counteroffer.

A counteroffer is not a quote.

“How much is that?” is strictly different from “I will pay you $2500 for this”.

First isn’t an offer, nor is it a negotiation.

That’s completely different though, none of those scenarios are even vaguely similar to what happened here.

I think the fact that you have to engage in such mental gymnastics to try and make your point is pretty telling.

How long does Jump imagine they have to accept counteroffer?

Generally in situations like this, unless otherwise specified, courts would fall back to a “reasonable” period of time or until Jump is notified that the offer is no longer valid.

No, you’re playing with words here.

Replace your first sentence with “will you buy this car from me for $10000” and that seems like a pretty clear verbal contract.

Of course verbal contracts are tricky, but this particular case was in writing.

I make an offer (in writing), you make a counteroffer (in writing), I accept your counteroffer (in writing).

Seems like a contract to me.

How was it a clear joke?

Both the paper and the signature are utterly irrelevant.

You can certainly enter a contract over email, it’s not irregular.

So you don’t actually know?

Akin to “jokingly” signing a regular paper contract, no?

Yeah, why not?

But was he not accepting the deal on his part by offering it in the first place?

Huge difference, a mls listing is one sided so there’s clearly no meeting of the minds.

A written negotiation about the purchase price is completely different.

B: Hey, I’ll buy this from you for $2500

S: No, sorry. But I’ll take $50000

B: Deal!

Why would an email not be an agreement?
