Im sorry I know Im getting old but I say everyone is responsible. From the press who might focus too much on the whistleblower, to the poeple who OKed the company for 3rd party access, to the team responsible for regulation to the person who didnt order further checks.

I dont understand why there is not massive reorganisations in systems when things go wrong. Its always , oh yeah so we fired the guy furthest down the ladder.

You might think Im being weird, but after living many years in corporate the amount of times you see some major thing go wrong and some random guy get fired for it - often the dude who found/highlighted the problem, is crazy. I mean you simply don't believe it until you witness it. Its just moral/leadership decay.

I wouldn't have made this comment but I see comments with people empathising with certain individuals in cases like this, when the way to be nice is to overhaul the system of checks and people responsible and spread the blame, fixing the domain.

You can just say something like " bro what was up with Rockstar that sucked back then? "

Ive laid that pigeon to rest, but I pointed out a few years ago that the fact they had a loading screen that took 10mins ( im exaggerating ) because of a shopping cart item look up problem, fixed by a random kid, was not a good look especially because they didnt reward him appropriately. It was a small but clear sign something was a miss.

Edit> the point was I raised concerns at the time to help Rockstar and was just insulted. Anyway if anyone at Rockstar got this far, Im sure youre got it all under control mostly and are doing great now keep it up.

touche, good comeback.

Can you all calm down, I just said I didnt like the vibe Im not going after anyone, if you are getting this upset over a random general comment I advise you have a cup of tea.

EDIT> Im sorry I shouldnt have made a comment about the firing on second thoughts

You are right lol, damn!

I love the bit where a programmer always proudly chimes in with this statement as if it means anything.

You dont get it bro, its not a good vibe.

And if I had bean in management I would have fired anyone involved with that decision.

Why is it so often HN that I point something obvious out , like Rockstar having clearly failed management and a complete loss of control, but instead of agreement or silence I always get flak from some random user who just doesnt get it, and then a year later the company starts falling apart.

Im just a guy who recognises patterns and im not even smart.

I gave up when i realised Firefox had google analytics and noone even knew or cared. That was about 10 years ago now.

Just so everyone understands the numbers thats basically everyone in Denmark.

confused why I got downvoted dont people know their history? paste my comment into LLM it might explain some history

HNers don’t know what being a goth with a bunch of horses and some bros who’ve pissed of a king can do when they lock in

i know this is like "hey guys we got such a cool thing at home ,its rad and uhm we playing with it with our friends"

ok bro thx

Im not trying to be mean but nothing you said made any sense, possibly because I wasnt clear.

I do appreciate your time and your feedback and Im not great at patience but Im going to try because I am dim in many subjects.

I meant an exact solar eclipse where the Sun and the moon seem to match perfectly.

As such the math odds are low.

Finally, if I ever went to a shop and I was charged a round number like $50, or in my case even $3 I would immediately assume I am being scammed, as that is rare given the context. ( which incidentally happened to me once in Barcelona due to a local spanish barman trying to charge me a tourist tax ).

But I am grumpy and it is late, please forgive coarseness of my reply.

is this a bad moment to mention how weird it is that the moon is perfectly positioned to create eclipses?

I think its pretty incomprehensible odds if you ask google.

But I could be wrong I know literally nothing about astronomy, it just always surprised me its not common, but it be cool if someone could explain that

the problem is it was a very interesting situation, but as usual I dont want to be too clear about it, to protect identities, but as as happened before, I get downvoted or told " without evidence I dont believe you".

Im not saying you are wrong its just I guess I wont bother as much, I just sometimes feel compelled to try and notify the community sometimes of something that was odd / of interest, but increasingly its just not picked up on.

At some point I wonder if its worth the effort.

But perhaps some readers pick up on it and figure things out.

apparently if you ever point out HN starts for hackernews and thus expect related attitudes you get downvoted by shocked ( what I guess are zoomers and not bots ) that desperately opine the name is a random abberation doesn't mean anything and one should not deviate from our corporate overlods in any manner.

I really liked that film.

agreed

trust me , my places only remain because of a lack of visitors.

it only takes one to ruin a beautiful spot.

it also means the only people to see it are ones worthy enough to have found it on their own. I like that. I would share with like minded others but only if I trust them.

shame I find it hard to motivate myself to grow my social circle, there should be a club maybe I should make one, but noone would want to join it lol not knowing what cool stuff we could share

I mean I even discover things that would blow my mind and then I realise most people would say something like " oh thats odd or naughty I dont like you or that", as in maybe I find a river with huge lilypads that I can take a nap on. I just know the most of the readers would be annoyed for some reason and might even do something that would bring negative attention to it and get the river closed or studied or something that would remove it from the environment. I just feel surrounded by narow minded idiots, and a few highly intelligent psychos.

I feel that in some cases I would only share info if I was paid but then noone would never even think to ask me.

Which is weird. As I could do with a dollar for a cup of coffee. Who knows. I probably wouldnt even do it for money.

i find the "old selection" staying up so visible on the screen distracting but i do appreciate this website thanks

All I know is the "ON" shoes are easy to recognise on the street due to their completely bizarre soles, even for non shoe enthusiasts. Look even I didnt realize the N for new Balance was different for the N for Nike for like decades.

The focus on running by Hoka and ON, on the street, and IMO the "low quality" of the collectible Jordans, apparently were the deathknell.

But this is armchair speculation.

I liked the article. Everytime I discoered a unique place I want to tell the world about it and then I realize that could ruin it so I dont.

Its ironic

After doing some investigation into my Bang Olufsen after some tech not working right apparently Dev mode on it allows "Most probable raw grab: ThinQ/SSAP on the LAN after pairing — ~960×540 JPEG. Live Plus/ACR: most probably sends a fingerprint, not a retrievable raw frame."

As per HN thread last week

Literally can’t see an earth on safari iOS

Edit> on second refresh it worked

mine remiains OFF and has been for months.

maybe im too dumb to be worthy of a config update lol

That did happen a few times , but Im telling you bro that TV restarted a couple times just as I was about to clutch, like the same second i was about to press a trigger in an otherwise boring 25 minute round more than once, but yes as I mentioned earlier it could be related to other tech aspects.

Im not here to feed conspiracy theories and paranoia, its most likely a coincidence, and tied to having "excess metrics and advanced features that indirectly cause a kernel panic that turns the tv off".

But yes, after turning a bunch of unnecessary default options off, my TV never restarted again just as I was making a clutch moment.

So in summary - remember it could just be related to high action moment fps drain, heat, high intensity stuff making the nintendo switch2 compatibility cause a kernel affected restart etc etc etc ( which is documented via the HDMI protocols ) which make it SEEM like something weird is up, but it turns out its a related thing thats not that sus.

I know its important to put things down to coincidence whenever possible, but a very expensive Bang OLufsen ( I think they use LG ) TV would turn itself off at "the" most interesting split second moments during gameplay , to the point where I thought "if I am being pranked by a friend, does this TV even stream its contents?".

Much to my surprise I found out that many modern TVs do in fact come with dev mode that allow some sort of screen capture.

Safe to say I turned off all the "allow metrics and market/dev modes" and have been happier since.

EDIT> Incase anyone was wondering I did some more research about my model ( im NOT a TV guy ) and came across this regarding what screen content could technically be passed remotely: "Most probable raw grab: ThinQ/SSAP on the LAN after pairing — ~960×540 JPEG. Live Plus/ACR: most probably sends a fingerprint, not a retrievable raw frame." No idea what it means but thought it might be relevant. Remember Im saying in my case it was a coincidence.

are you saying HN users are sentient? I think we are going to need a benchmark

...because they just read your comment. what have you done stratos123!
