I agree with you on the large scale, but once I zoom in, my thoughts get murkier. I can't think of any ethical digital advertising, but have a harder time condemning all advertising. How would you evaluate these kind of ads:

- Asking customer to place yard signs on their property

- Small businesses putting physical ads in other small businesses

- Printing shirts, hats, pop sockets, etc. . . and handing them out for free

- sponsoring local events/athletes/scholars

- Parade floats, community bulletein boards, festival/event booths

- wrapping company vehicles

I guess, after typing out this list, none of this is targeted advertising; maybe that's what separates them in my mind.

PawgerZ··on Israeli group claims it’s using back channels to censor “inflammatory” content
> I predict Congress will invite Bibi to a joint session of Congress to bolster support and let him trash a sitting Democratic President just like they did to Obama.

Interesting. Do you have a link of him coming into the whitehosue and trashing Obama? I assumed that relationship was fairly neutral after Obama gave him $40 Billion over the next 10 years.

I stay away from Twitter for my mental health, so I'm not well versed with their systems. Do you not have to select the reason you're flagging sometihing? Is flagging something that you don't understand or just don't like abusing their reporting system?

In comparison to other generations? Yeah, they are.

Just to let you know, that wasn't the original commentor, so it could stil involve scrpaing (which is what I expected, too).

Oh, man, that's a good one. Thank you for this insightful nugget to start my morning.

My programming journey started in like 2013ish with making guns on roblox which eventually turned into working on Minecraft mods.
PawgerZ··on 'Like we were lesser humans': Gaza boys, men recall Israeli arrest, torture
We're talking about Gaza. This article is about the West Bank, no?

From the article:

> The Wi-Fi is stable and reliable and 3G is also available in the West Bank, Palestine.

> There are shops all around Hebron, including many that are within walking distance from the Excellence Center where travelers can purchase a SIM card and add more minutes to their phone plan.

I am still taking in information and trying to figure out my stance for AI ethics, but this is moreso about the ethics of the business and its structure, not the ethics of the AI that they make.

This has got to be the hardest I've laughed at a Hacker News comment. Does dang put funny comments on the highlights section?

> The inability to resell or lend something is priced in

Why are the physical versions of games the exact same price as the digital version? Shouldn't the digital version be much cheaper because you can't copy, lend, or resell it?

Ditto for all forms of media

I wonder if that factors into the # of accounts for their planned IPO. Does this also include new prive browsing sessions?

No problem. If you find the right one, link it please. This whole idea is super interesting, and I'd love to learn more about it.

That's weird. Whenever I tried to take a picture of the moon, it would look great in the camera view on the screem, but look terrible once I actually took the picture.
PawgerZ··on Henry Kissinger Has Died
Youtube seems to be acting weird for me recently. I assume it has something to do with their war against ad blockers. Moving too fast and breaking some things? I don't know, just a thought.
PawgerZ··on Cybertruck Launch
"No truck" signs are for semi trucks, not pickup trucks. These semis (just the truck, no trailer) weigh 2-3x more than an average pickup truck/Cybertruck and 3-5x more than an average EV.

PawgerZ··on An ex-Googler's guide to dev tools (2020)
On any other "social media" they would be great comments, but they're not really in the spirit of Hacker News.
PawgerZ··on New Outlook is good, both for yourself and 766 third parties
Not meeting requests. Not sent to the prospects.

Appointments. Sent to the salesmen.

Our office staff takes phone calls, emails, and website submissions from prospects -- they then have to let a salesman know that someone wants an inspection and estimate. The best and easiest way to do this is by creating an appointment for the salesman best suited for the job which will block off some of their schedule to connect with the prospect and set up an on-site meeting. This also sends an email to the salesman assigned to the new prospect [This is the part where MSFT spam filter tells me to GFY]. We don't send out emails to prospects until they give us their email directly.

If you would've actually read my comment, you would see that you didn't respond to anything I said but just made up your own idea of what I said then talked past me.
