CabSauce··on Ask HN: How to get a company to remove my email from an account
Reset the password and take over the account. A little mean, I guess, but it seems like the other person has had plenty of opportunity to fix the issue.
CabSauce··on Why America can’t build
"If we could just get rid of environmental and worker protections, costs would be lower!" - Every Company Ever
CabSauce··on BERTopic: The Future of Topic Modeling
It sure has to be much, much better than free. Especially if your pricing is 'contact sales'.
CabSauce··on No, America is not collapsing
While probably true in some percentage of cases, isn't that indicative that the underlying issue actually exists?
CabSauce··on No, America is not collapsing
I don't think that's completely true. The House has passed 358 bills this term that the Senate won't even vote on.
CabSauce··on No, America is not collapsing
Could you point to a source for someone being executed for owning a gun? Unless of course you were just being extremely hyperbolic to bring up something completely unrelated to the discussion.

Apple hardware is 40+% profit.
CabSauce··on Ask HN: Who here is juggling two or more remote jobs? How is it working out?
To provide a little more info. It is possible to request a freeze on your info, but of course they make it annoying. They appear to be sourcing the data from payroll management systems like ADP. Your organization might not even be aware that they're sharing and selling your paycheck information.
CabSauce··on The bottom is dropping out of Netflix
And the cost of ads? Seems like a deal to me.
CabSauce··on The bottom is dropping out of Netflix
Call it digital trespassing then. Semantics.

I don't disagree. However, you can buy/rent movies and shows on an individual basis from amazon/google/apple now. The prices are just higher. There seems to be some benefit to bundling shows together into a service. You can also just jump around from service to service, which is what I do.
CabSauce··on The bottom is dropping out of Netflix
Wouldn't the appropriate choice be to not pay for the service AND not pirate? That seems like the best way to send the message. Pirating gives the impression that you want to view their content but not pay for it. So they should invest in locking down their content, not improve their experience.

More like I snuck onto a ride without buying a ticket. Or snuck into a theater without buying a ticket. Wouldn't you call that stealing?

Edit: Call it digital trespass then. I don't really care what you call it. There are obviously fixed costs to creating content. Just because there aren't incremental costs incurred from piracy, doesn't mean there isn't harm. Lost revenue is harm.

CabSauce··on The bottom is dropping out of Netflix
Sure. It's also stealing. And doesn't provide any money for future shows that you might enjoy. Don't get me wrong, I've done it for some things that I wanted to watch, but wasn't willing to pay for. But let's not pretend that everyone torrenting is a reasonable solution.
CabSauce··on Nearly half of Mariupol has suffered grave damage
The reporting that I've seen claims that Russia doesn't have enough guided ordinance, so they're using lots of unguided ordinance.
CabSauce··on How Rainy Is Seattle? It's Not Even in the Top of Major U.S. Cities (2019)
I was actually amazed at how few trees came down in the wind, given how tall and skinny the trees are.
CabSauce··on The Colorado Safety Stop is the law of the land
If 'less time in the intersection' is actually safer, wouldn't it be safer for cars too?

The nicer areas are where the best cars to steal are located.
CabSauce··on U.S. Secret Service Launches Cryptocurrency Awareness Hub
At least until someone creates another one... and another one... and another one.
CabSauce··on Google Search Is Dying
The default subreddits are really horrible. Reddit is still okay if you unsubscribe from all of those and only subscribe to the narrow subreddits that you're interested in. Of course, it's hard to find new subreddits that way.
CabSauce··on $130B wiped off crypto markets in 24 hours
All of those things are true (to varying degrees) of all of the thousands of crypto currencies. That's inherently the problem. As soon as another one comes along, the *value* of the earlier iterations gets reduced. There's no limit on the creation of new crypto currencies.
CabSauce··on NASA says Webb’s excess fuel likely to extend its lifetime expectations
Hopefully we'll have cooler stuff in place by then. I'm assuming it can also be serviced, like Hubble.

CabSauce··on More Americans are saying they’re ‘vaxxed and done’
The vaccines do reduce transmission, so it is a relevant argument? https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2116597
CabSauce··on More Americans are saying they’re ‘vaxxed and done’
Why should I have to not drink and drive? If you're worried about car accients, you should stay off the roads!
CabSauce··on Amazon still isn't doing enough to stop bait-and-switch reviews
The first ammendment doesn't apply to a private company.
CabSauce··on Google says employees flouting vaccination rules will eventually be fired
Are you really claiming an indoor smoking ban is a counter example to a vaccine mandiate? That's some interesting logic.
CabSauce··on Google says employees flouting vaccination rules will eventually be fired
That's why I drink and drive as much as I want. Can't let the man tell me what to do! /s
