When so, so, so many google experiments have been killed off[0], I'm curious what makes you think that this time it will be different?

They did a really good job explaining the situation in that Planet Money episode.

> largely because I'm subsidizing all the Chinese shippers.

I wouldn't expect shipping charges in the US to magically be lower after this change.

chrome has far more ads, they are just more subtle.

404 on submitting the visa request. Thanks visa.

Yea the difference in his analysis of brave is really different: https://mobile.twitter.com/jonathansampson/status/1165391211...

Sure, all requests are now sent to one location, including (!!) extension (Tor, https everywhere, etc) downloads used by brave. What about the possibility of the brave folks modifying those extensions to suit their needs? If I am needing to trust Tor, I'm going to download Tor from the appropriate location, not from brave. Based on the language he used reviewing other browsers, I suspect if that behavior was seen on anything other than brave the prognosis would be different.

Or folks may not require any financing. In which case, the model 3 is even more cheaper per mile than the camry.

> The correct place to protest is when the university sends you your tuition bill or when they decline you admission.

Your "protest" over a (1) tuition bill or (2) admissions rejection is not going to matter. You'll be sent to collections in the case of (1) or ignored in the case of (2).

Publicly funded universities should contribute _something_ back to the public. Generally it's fucking football or basketball (assuming you pay for the right TV service).

You are barking up the wrong tree.

Local credit union. Many of them share ATMs as a part of some ATM co-op network.

IMAP is fine. It's likely your email provider's fault.

.. what does this comment have to do with the actual article other than keying off of 'fastmail' in the title?

I think the point OP was trying to make was that they should invest in MUA support for this feature.. mutt was merely an example.

It worked for the last US presidential election.

Or just carry bear spray...

> They list it as a key element of their business model:

And we all know public companies never change 'key elements' of their business models... (hint: they do)

> That's presumably why such stories never come with links

No, I didn't include a link because I was posting from my phone, and "hacker" "news" doesn't include a sane way to search through thread history for specific comments. I'm glad someone else went through the trouble.

But hey, you're free to continue to not assume good faith, right?

In the US we know our prisons are used for punishment, so there's really no point in asking that question. A better question might be: should be transform them from punishment to rehab? (I think 'yes', but there are many here in the US who disagree because 'fuck them, they're criminals and they deserve it')

Browser fingerprinting these days goes FAR beyond trivial user agent values.

> I think the guidelines are a great way of encouraging us all to be more thoughtful to others comments, and have noticed a difference in the way I might comment HN.

The guidelines are somewhat of a joke, and are only followed (even by mods) when it is convenient to do so.

For example, I've been repremanded in the past by our supreme leader dang for posting comments like "do you have a source for that?", because he assumed it was too hostile while he completely ignored his own 'hacker' 'news' guideline of 'assume good faith' (I was literally asking someone to source the information/argument they posted here.. but hey good job on completely derailing that discussion dang!)

> But when hot-button issues intersect with technology, the HN readership is in a position of power, and shouldn't routinely be spared the anguish of being reminded of their responsibility.

Which is exactly how we end up with endless articles and 'discussions' of boeing 737s on 'hacker' 'news' by people who think they are pilots and aircraft designers (hint: they are none of those). I would bet the vast majority of people on 'hacker' 'news' are not responsible for any of this, they just like to beat these topics into the ground, uncorrecting each other along the way.

Why? Is there something inherently wrong with them using Rust?

> some just going white screen

I find this happens with a lot of news sites. It's hilarious that a website made primarily for displaying text is absolutely defeated by turning off javascript.

Not the same. Two companies make x86 processors, and in the very specific case of this article/comment thread, more than one company supports OpenCL. Nvidia/cuda is a one-pony show, no matter how you look at it.

> come out

Looks pretty great to me with javascript disabled.

> blazingsql is part of a greater ecosystem

But now blazingsql is part of an ecosystem within a walled garden fully dependent upon the stability of a single company.

Oh well if cousin_it has never seen a 14 year old talk like that then clearly they don't exist (hint: they do)

The vast majority of the comments on 'hacker' 'news' are either anecdotes based on the title or nitpicking the title. Since no one has any anecdotes to argue about and the title is pretty straight forward, there are very few comments here.

> You have to apply some judgement; otherwise you reach ridiculous false equivalences.

An article about 'AI' that requires actual 'I' to understand? Inconceivable!

> it’s just like a screwdriver, that’s why china is using AI for tracking and oppressing their uighur minorities

I don't think a screwdriver can be used to oppress millions of people.
