kahrl··on American Dream For Rent: Investors elbow out individual home buyers
Nobody said "the hell" taxed out of anything. Conversation is completely shut down by these dumb Devil's advocate takes before anyone talks details such as a graduated tax rate.
kahrl··on “Open source” seeds loosen Big Ag’s grip on farmers
Something something baby bathwater.
kahrl··on Reddit Confirms It Was Hacked–Recommends Users Set Up 2FA
Reads like an 8th grader's report trying to meet the teacher's word count.
kahrl··on South Park Creators Land $20M in Funding for Their Deepfake VFX Studio
Throwing the baby out with the bathwater there. Just because some assholes took advantage of a corrupt system to make money at the expense of public trust, does not mean you need to regress into anti-intellectualism.
kahrl··on SEC charges eight social media influencers in $100M stock manipulation scheme
BASELESS conspiracy theory.
kahrl··on US Department of Energy: Fusion Ignition Achieved
This is a false equivalence.

kahrl··on Tim Cook admits that iPhones use Sony camera sensors
Sir, this is The Verge. Hardly journalism.
kahrl··on Cancer relapse reduced 44% in early study using mRNA vaccine
Because it is, by definition, not gene therapy.

The mRNA from the vaccines does not enter the cell nucleus or interact with the DNA at all, so it does not constitute gene therapy.

kahrl··on FTC seeks to block Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard
It's not. This just hit home for homie over here.
kahrl··on Why Is No One Asking SFB What Happened to the $3.3B He Borrowed?
Sanford International Airport?
kahrl··on Dwarf Fortress’ graphical upgrade provides a new way into a wildly wonky game
These are not open source games.
kahrl··on Remotely unlock/start/locate any remotely connected Honda/Nissan [resolved]
NO IT WOULD NOT. One business is dependent on their media image to sell cars, one business would rather you forget they exist because they are selling your identity to third parties.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

kahrl··on Remotely unlock/start/locate any remotely connected Honda/Nissan [resolved]
Idiotic claim with no proof. SiriusXM is a publicly traded company. If they were found responsible for vulnerabilities that lead to stolen cars, the lawsuits and public sentiment ABSOLUTELY would affect their bottom line. Just look at Kia and Hyundai right now.

What are you even talking about?

kahrl··on Apple iPhone 14 Emergency SOS via Satellite Feature Saves Stranded Man in Alaska
Source? Where's the proof ABS made drivers take greater risks? Sounds like bullshit.
kahrl··on Sky warns customers they will be charged £5 if they fast forward adverts
What an intentionally misleading clickbait headline.
kahrl··on Sperm counts worldwide are plummeting faster than we thought
Don't cut yourself on that edge.
kahrl··on MessageBird lays off 31% of staff
Why is this a public blog post? This is disgusting.
kahrl··on CPSC approves new magnet safety standard for certain non-toy products
Oh yeah. He showed them. Buying pounds of powdered alcohol is really sticking it to 'em. Definitely not an irrational response at all.
kahrl··on “Invalid Username or Password”: a useless security measure (2014)
I'd prefer to not create brute force vulnerability that leaks the site's list of user email addresses to an attacker.
kahrl··on Is SBF Going to Prison?
Fraud is not innovation.
kahrl··on Is SBF Going to Prison?
What a tragedy.
kahrl··on Largest EU economy can reach 100% ‘clean energy’ by 2035
Made you click. You fell for it.
kahrl··on GPUs are headed in the wrong direction
"And I’d argue that performance is almost beside the point"

Hot fucking take. Another quality article here from The Verge's Sean Hollister.

kahrl··on Mom handcuffed, jailed for 8-year-old son walking half a mile
As an American I can also say this is completely balls to the walls nuts, AND NOT SURPRISING IN THE LEAST.
kahrl··on Mom handcuffed, jailed for 8-year-old son walking half a mile
But before investigating and clearing them, they forced the parents to sign an agreement giving up certain parental rights.

So while the buck did eventually stop with them, it wasn't before they did harm of their own.

kahrl··on Withdrawals from BlockFi continue to be paused
This is bullshit for: "Prepare for radio silence, but don't be alarmed. Please continue to hold the bag for us."
kahrl··on Why Is Tipping Everywhere You Checkout?
I think most complaints are coming from customers who don't want to have to consider the wellbeing and livelihood of underpaid employees, who require charity to survive.

In most every transaction these days, customers are guilted into providing wages for essentially unpaid employees, and I'm sick of the mind games.

Take your L.

What is the point of your comment? Is it to excuse other countries using whataboutism? Is it to say that the behavior in general is normal?
