In 2002-2003 you could access anyone else's Hotmail account by going to your own Settings page, adding an input field with the ID "SignInName", entering the email address you want to switch to, and clicking Save.

I believe Elon is part of a tragically large group of people that continue to stubbornly define their expectations of the future based entirely on stuff they saw in Star Trek TNG. "Just because you can put a touch screen somewhere doesn't mean you should" is a thought that will never enter their minds regardless of how many people die as a result.

I would happily assist in the destruction of any company that bends the knee to these unelected parasites by complying with their "laws." Helping to perpetuate the illusion that they deserve or possess any legitimate power makes you the enemy.

I'm not sure why Apple is receiving any sort of praise here. I was constantly assaulted by an "explosion of noise" glitch when working with Logic Pro in OS X. I could have the system volume level set to the lowest possible setting (25% of 1 notch), and yet I'd still occasionally get deafening explosions of noise as if I had the system volume set to the full 16 notches. The explosion is just short enough that there's zero chance of you having any hope of ripping your headphones off as quickly as possible to spare your hearing. No, by the time you hear the explosion, it's already too late. I did in fact start losing my hearing from this and completely gave up on making music.

What makes you think Trump doesn't know how to play chess?

It's pointless to ask any of these peanut gallery NPCs where they keep their 1.6 million dollars, because their milquetoast "peace and love, maaaan" world view guarantees they will never have what it takes to earn such an amount in the first place.

Why do you people always feel the need to make statements about Shkreli, Trump, etc. in a format like "he's an asshole, but X"?

Why not just say X?

Ads on reddit are incredibly deceptive. I'm not sure why advertisers tolerate it. 98% of the ad clicks on mobile are surely fraudulent through being intentionally accidental. The ads are designed to look exactly the same as real posts at a glance, with a username, post date, upvote/downvote arrows, deceptive title meant to make it look like a real post, comment section, share link, and image thumbnail. Reddit users are all conditioned to believe that they can tap a thumbnail and be shown a larger preview while staying on the site. On these ads, it takes them to the advertiser's site instead.

Once you get as big as Google or Apple, you're too big to fail and there is no longer any pressure to make good decisions because there are no actual consequences for making moronic decisions.

You needed to watch a lot of his videos and read enough of his daily posts he used to make on his site to understand it, but everything he said was actually perfectly consistent within his own world view.

He would have been furious about the request to donate to mental health organizations being on his website.

You didn't spend a week in Poland. You spent a week in Warsaw.

I like your sense of humor.

When did people on this site start using the word "modulo" for something other than the modulo operator in mathematics?

He's only ever married Jews... all of his children are Jews.

We should stop pretending they shouldn't be regulated like some kind of public good or utility.

Classic Mac OS always perfectly queued any number of input events and executed them in order exactly as expected, regardless of how much the system was lagging. None of the input would be silently discarded or mishandled like it is today. You could easily do something like this:

>type command-N to create a folder

>type its new name "abc"

>type command-O to enter folder "abc"

>type command-N to create another folder within folder "abc"

>type its new name "123"

>type command-O to enter folder "123"

>change mind and type command-W and command-delete to put folder "123" in the trash

>type command-shift-W to close all windows

>type "Macintosh HD"

>type command-O

>type "Applications"

>type command-O

>type "Adobe Photoshop"

>type command-O

>type command-N to create new Photoshop document

>type command-S to open the save dialog

>type command-D to navigate to desktop

>type "abc" to select your new folder

>type command-O

>type the return key to save the new document

It doesn't matter whether the system was able to keep pace with your input. You were guaranteed to have a new folder named "abc" and your new Photoshop document already saved inside.

Now in OS X (I'm sorry, "macOS"), you need to pause at every step and wait until it's done executing before doing the next. Otherwise your input will be lost in the multithreaded abyss.

I hate it.

Have a doctor perform a sleep study examination.

The shared link immediately redirected me to a fake malware page upon loading for the first time.

Please blacklist astronomy.com links from being shared on this site.

Also, perhaps consider shadowbanning clayt6 because judging from his account history he's apparently only here to spam astronomy.com links.

I've always doubted that the view counts on Vevo videos are real.

They created another $250 million worth just one week ago.

I wonder if Apple is being subtly sabotaged by competitors who have double agent employees that wormed their way into Apple and gained access to Tim Cook's ear.

I feel that the worst new "feature" in Google Maps is when you're on your way to your destination and it suddenly suggests you might first want to go to a random place you've never heard of before. You then have 3 seconds to tap "No" before it silently adds the destination (and 15-30 minutes of extra driving) to your route. I have found no way to disable this feature.

I'm worried that there could be people who were in a hurry to get somewhere and perhaps wound up in a grave instead because they felt the urgent need to look away from the road and fiddle with their phone to reset their map destination while on the highway.

Maybe you do.

If you dislike the first amendment, there are plenty of countries you can move to that don't have it.

I find how HN completely hides comments with a "[flagged]" replacement a bit insulting as a reader. We're all adults and I'm sure we can handle reading whatever he wrote. Instead we have to guess what you are responding to.

Nice work with the file recovery. I wish I could recover my old stuff but it's all gone.

I remember a few names because I was 12 and wanted to be like the cool kids in ElectroSoft. My memory of your exact screen name was refreshed when I stumbled across LightHouse on archive.org a few months ago.
