A phone is usually less than 200g, a CRT monitor can easily be >10kg, so at least 50 times worse
This must be today's "most HN" comment.
- Dismisses a new project that simplifies a task and makes it more approachable to non-technical folks (Like the famous Dropbox comment [0])
- Is extremely pedantic and serves only as a distraction from a discussion
- Argues in favor of pure functional programming
- Misses obvious sarcasm, even when the /s is included.
Can you think of any other community where someone can discuss the damage of a CRT monitor falling into your face with terms like "scale linearly" and everybody just nods in agreement?
I think it's delightful, one of the little pleasures of hanging around here.
There's always someone that's religious about their particular technical choices.
* dismisses the thought by referring to the commenter's privilege for having it in the first place, rather than commenting on the value or feasibility of the thought itself.
- tries to come up with an overly precise technical definition of something entirely subjective and unserious.

And some of the later generation CRTs breached 20" and were a good 30+kg.
Sony's 24" GDM-FW900 was a pretty incredible 42kg.
