kahrl··on Minneapolis driver shot and killed by ICE
Far more likely he is a pissed off good-ol-boy redneck and was enforcing contempt of cop.

But you keep living in that delusion you’re so attached to.

But they can be killed.

Try harder.
kahrl··on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
When there is an accident on the interstate we should blame the centralization of traffic and advocate for no more highways.

Very worrying indeed.

kahrl··on America Is Backsliding Toward Its Most Polluted Era
People are complicated.....they vote for the strongman. You realize how those two things you said are diametrically opposed???? Stupid.

While everyone has the ability to have cognitive dissonance, please don't ignore the reality that MAGA is a bunch of weirdo cultist fuckos brainwashed by extremist propaganda media.
kahrl··on US Administration announces 34% tariffs on China, 20% on EU
Nah.
kahrl··on Why are Americans paying so much more for healthcare than they used to?
Because plebs have been disenfranchised since the mid century and are too busy whining about dumb social issues they are fed by the media to notice who has actually been fucking them.
kahrl··on T-Mobile Breached, Again
You can sue, but you'll need to wait until you suffer damages. And good luck proving that it was in fact THIS breach that caused your identity theft.

The system is broken. There is no accountability whatsoever. You have no power to change any of this. It's all fucked.

kahrl··on Colorado governor signs tractor right-to-repair law opposed by John Deere
Oh look, the Pinkertons are trying to sow FUD in hacker news again.
kahrl··on The problems with live coding interviews
These interviewees want: "Trust me bro. I'M JUST A BAD TEST TAKER. I can't show my awesome skills to you right now because I'm terrified and I'm panicking. Just give me a chance, even though I've shown you nothing."

Interviewer: "Gosh darn it, you're hired!!"

kahrl··on Use of antibiotics in farming ‘endangering human immune system’
"Never have humans in the history of their entire existence consumed so much meat in their daily diet." Source: jelliclesfarm's mind.

Inuits would like a word with you.

kahrl··on Ask HN: Is prompt engineering just snake oil?
Are you saying the definition of engineering means there is only one correct way to do things? What is this comment even trying to say?
kahrl··on The EARN IT bill is back, seeking to scan our messages and photos
You're literally denouncing the 4th amendment. You're saying that all of us must submit to warrantless and broad searches because the statistics says that at least some crime must be occurring. Absurd.

Or is it that there is an intermediary involved? Are you saying that banks that offer safety deposit boxes are responsible for their contents? Also absurd.

kahrl··on Apple’s fight against iPhone sideloading was pointless at best, harmful at worst
And their argument is a load of horseshit. The lowest common denominator will always be the lowest common denominator. They're using these hypothetical dummies as a scapegoat in order to ensure a monopoly on software distribution for their hardware.
kahrl··on SpaceX Starship rocket explodes minutes after launch from Texas
Who are "people?"
kahrl··on iOS 17 will reportedly set the stage for sideloading apps on iPhone
Because it’s the only way their argument holds any water. In 2023, the security problems inherent to allowing app installations outside operating system stores have been almost completely mitigated.
kahrl··on Twitter won’t allow retweeting tweets linking to Substack
It is the same people who bitch and moan constantly about the state of their favorite video game sequel, but don't have enough self-control to not buy it if it makes them SO unhappy.

Turns out: 1) They're literal addicts. 2) They're not as unhappy as they make themselves out to be, they just enjoy the social interaction through communal outrage. Hypocrites.

kahrl··on Twitter won’t allow retweeting tweets linking to Substack
Titter* defames news outlets by declaring them to be state-affiliated, bans links to competitors, and also HURR DURR DOGE.

Enough. At this point its on every one of us for spreading this shit like a terrible chain email from the 90s.

kahrl··on 30% of YC companies exposed through SVB can’t make payroll in the next 30 days
This is complete hyperbolic bullshit with the sole purpose of pushing a narrative, getting the right people concerned about their political image, and getting parachute out of this mess fast.

Can't blame the guy for doing his job, but you can call bullshit on him.

kahrl··on JavaScript and TypeScript features of the last 3 years
It has.
kahrl··on Bug identified after Alaska Airlines planes bump runway while taking off
"the market" doesn't exist in this situation. You have powerless, disenfranchised individuals with no choice.
kahrl··on GitHub staff are required to use Teams by Sep 1, 2023
I think you understood exactly what I meant the first time, but then feigned ignorance in order to be able to virtual signal and say the same tired old line "this is why I don't come here anymore" as you continue to lurk.
kahrl··on GitHub staff are required to use Teams by Sep 1, 2023
It was an admittedly childish insult directed at anyone who got their panties in a bunch about the choice of video conferencing software at a company they don't even work for.
kahrl··on GitHub staff are required to use Teams by Sep 1, 2023
I daresay you have little career experience, and must be an extremely entitled, fragile person if you think it "really is that bad."

I have been using it at my company since 2017 when it REALLY WAS that bad. We were even coming from Slack. But it has been years since I was actually inconvenienced by it.

In it's current state, it is NOT an inconvenience that rises to the level of leaving a company. I'm saying it would be idiotic, childish, and extremely entitled to leave Microsoft over the company's choice of video conferencing software.

And this is coming non-Microsoft employees with no skin, complaining about a company policy they will never have to experience.

kahrl··on GitHub staff are required to use Teams by Sep 1, 2023
Now, I could be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure an operating system and conferencing software are two different things.
