callinOutLiars··on Ask HN: Do You Believe in Aliens?
Lmao!

1. I was making an allusion to Inigo Montoya from the Princess Bride.

2. If a person truly believes that then I think they suffer from the same lack of imagination as Vizzini.

callinOutLiars··on VMware Flaw a Vector in SolarWinds Breach?
The problem is people use irregardless to mean regardless. The prefix ir is meant to mean not or opposite (like responsible and irresponsible). I’m scared the word is already following the path of literally when people actually me figuratively.
callinOutLiars··on Are We on the Verge of Another Financial Crisis?
There isn’t a pattern between time and SF earthquakes[0].

callinOutLiars··on E-bikes and e-scooters should transform our cities in 2021
Lucky! We have them all over the place. The users seem so excited to be riding them that they don’t think about anything else. If a scooter approaches a stop sign they don’t slow down. Instead, they expect for a car that has stopped and starts to take its turn to slam on its brakes for them. Likewise, some of the users ride them on sidewalks and expect pedestrians to move out of their way.
callinOutLiars··on Ask HN: Do You Believe in Aliens?
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
callinOutLiars··on Facebook Takes Out Newspaper Ads to Attack Apple's Strengthening iOS Privacy
I think the issue is companies have become reliant on targeted advertising. Because of that other companies now sell products that harvest their users data and sell it to a different type of customer. If a customer buys a product then they shouldn’t be used as a product. A users information shouldn’t be required for a company’s success like it is for Facebook and google. I think what apple is doing is a step in the right direction.
callinOutLiars··on Physicists Create Time-Reversed Waves of Optical Light
Movies like the Matrix and Ready Player One seem more like warnings than aspirations to me.
callinOutLiars··on Yes, Young People Are Dying of Covid
How is covid-19 partisan politics? It is a disease.
callinOutLiars··on Sharrows, the bicycle infrastructure that doesn’t work and nobody wants
I’m a cyclist and driver too, and I always get annoyed when cyclists always blame the cars. Most cyclist don’t follow the laws and then yell at you for their fault. I stopped my bike at a stop sign, the dude behind me wasn’t prepared for it and hit me with his bike. He then yelled at me for stopping. Honestly, both drivers and cyclists are rude and selfish on the road.
callinOutLiars··on Am I Disabled?
The people I just yell and cuss out. The family part is harder. I know they love me, but they have no clue what is going on when it comes to simply walking. They can be supportive, but if I tell them I can’t do something like take the trash out it can turn into an argument. At that point I’m usually accused of using my disability as an excuse. That really sucks. Sometimes I just do what is being asked even though it is at my detriment.
callinOutLiars··on Am I Disabled?
It seems society sucks at helping cripples. I’m in constant pain while walking, but while wearing shoes (covering up the noticeable deformation) I have been yelled at many times for parking in handicap spaces. I have had people and family tell me it is no big deal and I need to deal with it (if you can walk, but still crippled no one actually considers you crippled).
callinOutLiars··on Tech elites leaving San Francisco threaten Silicon Valley's supremacy
With consent? Shouldn’t everyone have the right to move where they want? Others it sounds like segregation.
callinOutLiars··on Tech elites leaving San Francisco threaten Silicon Valley's supremacy
It should be a federal crime for the police to send their homeless to other cities.
callinOutLiars··on Trump passed when Pfizer offered months ago to sell the U.S. more vaccine doses
I think it would be fair to say America doesn’t enter his mind. He only cares about himself, or Trump first.
callinOutLiars··on Leaked Government UFO Photo: What Is Hovering Cube-Shaped Object?
There have been a lot of reports of UFOs at supersonic speeds with the ability to stop on a dime. One explanation is aliens and one is a conspiracy that the US government has had access to a warp drive for decades. I don’t think Occam’s razor applies in this circumstance since both seem very fanciful.
callinOutLiars··on Oculus admits they will NOT help with Oculus Paperweight
Still not as bad as Microsoft under Gates.
callinOutLiars··on CA Restaurant Owner In Tears Over Outdoor Dining Ban
The young and reckless are why it continues to spread. There have been numerous reports of frat parties and college keggers being super spreader events. They lack discipline.
callinOutLiars··on Controversial Programming Opinions (2012)
I think that is called a mosaic.
callinOutLiars··on Controversial Programming Opinions (2012)
They aren’t informed if they can’t code or debug. A leader shouldn’t ask people to do something they wouldn’t do. I’m this case the leader can’t even do what they are asking others to do. In my opinion, they shouldn’t be the leader then.
callinOutLiars··on Controversial Programming Opinions (2012)
Why should someone who has no clue how to code or debug lead people doing those activities? It’s like the seeing be lead by the blind.
callinOutLiars··on Controversial Programming Opinions (2012)
A good leader doesn’t ask people to do something they themselves wouldn’t do. If the leader has no clue how to code or debug then they have no clue what they are asking their subordinates to do. That is a horrible way to lead in my opinion.
callinOutLiars··on The Children of Pornhub
> But in the eighth grade she developed a crush on a boy a year older, and he asked her to take a naked video of herself. She sent it to him, and this changed her life.

Shouldn’t she also be charged with distributing CP?

callinOutLiars··on ‘Extremely aggressive’ internet censorship spreads in the world’s democracies
> Interesting article. It doesn't look at corporate/social media censorship, but government and ISP censorship is still dangerous.

Is a company having policies about what users can store on the company owned servers actually censorship?

I find it weird that you used “still dangerous” to describe government/ISP censorship. To me that is the most dangerous form a censorship.

callinOutLiars··on CISA: The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history
Security through obscurity is a horrible way to secure anything, but especially voting machines.
callinOutLiars··on Tell HN: You can view flagged comments by enabling “showdead” in your profile
Wow!!! I thank you!
callinOutLiars··on Ask HN: Does anyone give your kid(s) retro electronics?
What is the need for retro?

I would think a raspberry pi would be the best way to go since it is designed to be a kids first computer. They also have a lot of resources for teaching kids.

callinOutLiars··on Biden Wins Presidency, Ending Four Tumultuous Years Under Trump
If you are talking about the “fraud” donnie diaper keeps making up then I’d hate to tell you that they have been fact checked and proven wrong.
callinOutLiars··on Biden Wins Presidency, Ending Four Tumultuous Years Under Trump
No one said anything about punishments (except you). I don’t know if she is talking about citizens or public officials, but I think we should remember the public officials who helped trump’s attempt to destroy our democracy. They shouldn’t be allowed to naysay their support for him.
callinOutLiars··on Twitter has applied warning labels to 37% of Trump's tweets since polls closed
Why doesn’t your comment contradict itself? You say you don’t want to see posts or talk about it on here, but you obviously decided to go through the comments.
callinOutLiars··on The second wave of Covid-19 has sent much of Europe back into lockdown
