deadbolt··on First impressions: Yes, Apple Vision Pro works and yes, it’s good
Can you elaborate?
deadbolt··on Tell HN: My Reddit account was banned after adding my subs to the protest
It's a screenshot of multiple accounts posting the same thing.

If you're going to call people fascists, do you mind defining fascism for us?
deadbolt··on Has ChatGPT Been Neutered?
No, it's not.

Edit: I get you're trying to make a point by posting a stupid question, but this isn't a good way to make a point.

Just say what you want to say. You don't need to hide it behind sarcasm.

deadbolt··on Three Companies Impersonated Millions to Influence Internet Policy
I see forward movements regarding social issues, but I don't think I can recall anything for my entire life, which has been a win against capital.

That's not to say it isn't possible, but that it's unlikely should we continue the same way.

deadbolt··on TikTok Feeds Teens a Diet of Darkness
I'm only somewhat familiar with Tim Dillon, and I agree with most of your statement, but why Austin, TX?

> OP's inaction is implicit, elsewise they would have attempted to explain what efforts have been attempted to resolve the issue.

That's absolute nonsense. There's no reason for OP to disclose that information in relation to the post they made. They were just posting a personal experience, not looking for anyone's advice.

deadbolt··on TikTok Feeds Teens a Diet of Darkness
I'm reminded of this article, where Chinese children stated would rather be an astronaut than a youtuber, but kids in the USA and UK rank astronaut behind youtuber.

> The general gist is they seek to put people into a psychological state of demoralization, in that state you typically polarize into two separate groups.

I fail to see how this is any different than what USA based media does.

deadbolt··on How AI knows things no one told it
For people who, like me, didn't recognize the number: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_group
deadbolt··on Oklahoma court won't stop Glossip execution
Is there anything states which oppose the death penalty can do to encourage states with it to change?
deadbolt··on ChatGPT could cost over $700k per day to operate
M$ has been a rather common abbreviation for Microsoft since at least slashdot days.
deadbolt··on Coinbase CEO: we're preparing to go to court with the U.S. SEC
What was unique about the initial distribution of Bitcoin when compared to other cryptocurrencies?
deadbolt··on Andrew Huberman Has Supplements on the Brain
The website https://www.consumerlab.com/ might be close to what you're looking for, though it does require a subscription. I started researching things there after learning that many powdered protein supplements contained high levels of heavy metals.
deadbolt··on U.S. home prices are the most unaffordable they've been in nearly 100 years
What makes you so sure?
deadbolt··on Utah is first US state to limit teen social media access
> Discord in particular has become known as “groomercord”

Nobody without sufficient brain-rot (ironically likely caused by social media) would call it that.

deadbolt··on Write simply (2021)
I figured that was to quickly drive the point home. Maybe I'm giving more credit to PG than is due, but that paragraph seemed tongue-in-cheek. I feel it would be hard for anyone to miss the irony.
deadbolt··on A US federal agency is considering a ban on gas stoves
Damn, sure hope the government doesn't consider a ban on shooting yourself in the foot next.
deadbolt··on Eastern US power grid orders cuts, issues system wide emergency
You're on a site titled hacker news and you can't find a way to get past paywalled content, and you feel it's more important to ban the submissions from paywalled content, rather than find a way around it?

Why should the submissions be changed because you personally can't view them?

Edit: If you want to downvote, at least answer my question.

deadbolt··on The Exceptionally American Problem of Rising Roadway Deaths
The Floyd riots didn't have anything to do with police policing traffic.
deadbolt··on The Exceptionally American Problem of Rising Roadway Deaths
I believe it is illegal in Michigan as well, but it doesn't appear to be actually enforced. Frankly, it seems few traffic laws are enforced here (Detroit and its suburbs).

I've discussed this with a lot of people, and the general conclusion is that "nobody cares anymore". Not drivers, not police, nobody.

I'm not surprised there is a rise in roadway deaths. I feel some of it is due to the form factor of the cars on the road, but some must be how people just don't care anymore, and I'm not sure how to address that, when even the police don't seem to care.

deadbolt··on Can’t Hear What Actors Are Saying on TV? It’s Not You

deadbolt··on Investor home purchases drop 30%
Well then I suppose we could write a better law than the one Switzerland created?

I don't think anyone is recommending we reimplement failed efforts, line for line.

deadbolt··on Why it’s hard to buy deodorant in Manhattan
I've found these in CVS's near Detroit. I had no idea it was due to people stealing them and reselling on Amazon.
deadbolt··on Bob Iger back as Disney CEO
I'm honestly not sure if this was said in jest or not, but that sounds absolutely miserable.
deadbolt··on Twitter to employees: all office buildings closed, badge access suspended
Care to wager?
deadbolt··on Air Force, FBI raid homes in probe of Area 51 website
Source on the carbon footprint offset from "great workers" by the use of private jets? This sounds incredibly speculative.
deadbolt··on Air Force, FBI raid homes in probe of Area 51 website
Not everything is a competition. You can believe both are wrong.
deadbolt··on Why Is Tipping Everywhere You Checkout?
It's not just waiters though, in fact the article specifically uses coffee shop employees as an example. I would be quite surprised if they're clearing 100k, even in a major city.
deadbolt··on Centuries-old whaling logs are filling gaps in our climate knowledge
I wasn't asking you, but okay.
