albedoa··on Canada will match US tariffs 'dollar for dollar' as trade talks break down
That quote supports the claim being made by the person who you are calling wrong.
albedoa··on The Amazon tax
Even the staunchest libertarians disagree with your understanding. Embarrassed that anyone holds or ever held this view, they have left you behind.

Yes, that commenter is lost.

Ignoring the other side of the equation is a pretty wild thing for you to do here:

albedoa··on Cops Used Flock to Track a Man Across State Lines for a Pretextual Weed Search
The article claims multiple times that the cops used the interstate travel as a pretext for the search that turned up the marijuana, but in most jurisdictions, the arrest would have allowed them to inventory the car anyway as part of the impound process.

Unless this jurisdiction is an outlier, the pretext wasn't needed for the search. As the parent comment says, the cops used the interstate travel as a timing strategy to increase the charges.

How were any of us meant to know that you were using your own personal and undisclosed definition of a well-established phrase?
albedoa··on UEFA and its national associations will not participate in FIFA competitions
> Why?

>> Slavery

> Yes it's bad.

Are you just learning about the slavery or did you know about it when you asked why.

What IPO is that?

> He could not see the note we were talking about because he is colorblind.

A similar thing happened to a friend who was over for game night. We were playing the Monopoly Deal card game when he put a brown and a red card next to each other with kind of a confused silence. Look at this:

(Pictured: Three red property cards next to two brown property cards.) They use only color to indicate property group. I was surprised that such a recognizable brand would allow this to get through. About one in twelve men cannot play this game without assistance.

albedoa··on Kill The Cookie Banner
Literally the point is that sites are showing the banner by default practice even when they are not tracking. You understand this!

Your kind comes into every one of these threads and says some version of "well if they weren't tracking then they'd have nothing to worry about and no need to show a banner", but that is so obviously not true to anyone who uses the web. You absolutely do not need to defend a law that is not working.

albedoa··on Kill The Cookie Banner
Wow that's so deep man.
albedoa··on Claude Opus 5
That is the point being made.
albedoa··on China’s open-weights AI strategy is winning
> I suppose I agree with you that any nuanced discussion is impossible.

I didn't say that. My politics probably align with yours, and I agree that a nuanced discussion on this topic is likely impossible on HN.

But asking the model the equivalent of When did you stop beating your wife? is obviously going to draw more comments about the prompt than the response. To the extent that there was any opportunity, we missed it.

albedoa··on China’s open-weights AI strategy is winning
You really detracted from your point and killed any hope for a nuanced discussion by begging the question. You could have simply asked the model which system is more efficient.
albedoa··on Thanks HN for 15 years of support and helping me find my life's work
OP referenced the roof rule by name in the OP, which was quoted in the comment that you are replying to. What do you mean "an entirely different topic"?
albedoa··on Thanks HN for 15 years of support and helping me find my life's work
Pause and consider the joint probability that anything was autocorrected to "roof rule" and that it just so happens to be the name of one of their rules.
albedoa··on Kimi K3: Open Frontier Intelligence
I'm almost on board with what you're saying, except Photoshop had a two-decade advantage both in its technological advancement and in becoming the industry standard, including by infiltrating schools and being pirated by students who would become professionals. American AI companies don't have that gulf.
albedoa··on The lost joy of music piracy
It's unfathomably weird of you to frame an article as a source for your claim and then wait for someone to point out that the article does not support your claim before admitting that the source is actually a book that you haven't read.
albedoa··on The lost joy of music piracy
> it's the same infinite music library

No it's not. That is absurdly wrong. You can ignore whoever led you to believe it.

> I get that artists aren't paid enough, but it's better than the $0 they get from piracy.

I was going to say that you should talk to some artists, but one has already replied to you.

This should clear your confusion enough to update your opinion.

albedoa··on The lost joy of music piracy
> I wasn't sure if this post was lamenting the loss of discovery or the loss of stable revenue streams for artists.

I haven't read the article yet, but the most devastating loss was the catalog itself. It was the largest archive of music in history. Of course, discovery was enabled in part by that.

> I think discovery is alive and well - both with Spotify, but elsewhere too.

It's not even comparable. If your definition of discovery considers what you can find on Spotify, then you're talking about a completely different thing. That's not to say that Spotify and elsewhere don't have discoverability — they're just not filling the void.

> as someone who makes electronic music

Your stuff was probably on there :D

> What I wonder is whether folks here (members of Lobsters) see that community as possessing the same magic/thrill/quality of What.CD?

I'm missing the comparison here too. There are communities that possess that thrill (some of the best of which don't even offer invites), so I know what you mean by it. I just haven't seen or heard that about Lobster.

albedoa··on The kids with phones are alright
The point is very clear to the rest of us. You inserted the word "full" where the author was not talking about full agency. It's hard to believe that you don't follow.
albedoa··on GPT-5.6
What do you mean "i don't think so"? What is it about the comment you are replying to that you don't think?

> Without hard facts the expression is just a wishy-washy way to promote a personal taste.

For a moment there, you almost had us thinking that you were interested in learning something.
