I think it's fair for them to point out (however snarkily) that Windows is not the most popular OS. In the context of the discussion, I think it matters that there is another OS, Android, that is more popular.

> by publishing these opinion pieces, they implicitly support them.

Not at all. Especially if the articles are from guest writers and not the typical editors.

If we know that [1] is true, then we know it because of science. So believing it is not against trusting the science.

> You can hate the policies/movement and still have sympathy for the individuals.

I think people on the right (outright bigots excepted) would say they do have sympathy, and it's for kids who have been influenced by the media or whatever to think that they are the opposite gender.

> However, I'm not sure that encouraging young people to make one-way decisions (or decisions where we are not yet sure whether they are one way or not) is the correct approach.

And I think the response here is that not taking action is also one-way, causing irreversible changes, like to the bone structure.

> Unapologetic neutral is the way to go. Coloring is distortion.

Sure, if it's axiomatic that distortion is always bad. My axiom is that my enjoyment is good. If EQ helps me enjoy music more, I don't care if it's distortion.

No it isn't. I think I have a pretty good idea of what I like from the million music-listening experiences I've had. Sure, maybe to get a perfect eq curve for my tastes I would need a perfectly neutral setup. But not really just to know that I like more bass than most people.

If somebody consistently turns up the bass when listening to Bose or Beats or something that's are known for being bass-heavy, do you really think they'd need a neutral setup to know that they like bass?

But that actually has a right-wing agenda right? I was talking about being ironically right wing.

It's putting tiny holes through thin cardboard at point blank. Sure it could probably injure your eye or something but it's not on the level of like a real handgun.

Of course, the headline just says it was 'seized'. That could happen for an airsoft gun in Japan for all I know.

> The Onion is in for a big letdown.

I don’t think they expected anything different. I think they saw the brand for sale at firesale prices, and decided they could use it. In fact, they’re one of the only ’mainstream’ outlets that can use the InfoWars brand, since it’s funny. Perhaps they will set up a ‘competing’ ‘right-wing’ satire site ala Colbert Report vs Daily Show.

Search engines only searching the top 100 websites is like, the opposite of the way I want things to go...

If I know that I consistently like bass boost, it’s rational to buy headphones that are tuned that way by default.

People have been shown to enjoy different eq levels, and they are generally consistent in their preferences

I disagree that your ears get used to flat tuning eventually and then even the bass sounds better. This might be true for some people, but I know for a fact it is not true for me.

Some goods might have deflated, but overall there was mild inflation.

It is bathing the land with poison, that’s why it works.

Bacteria repopulate in like no time at all.

Roundup (glyphosate) is not targeted either, except for not killing roundup-ready crops.

Well, we don’t want prices to go down. That would be deflation, which is worse than inflation.

It’s not that they can’t protect themselves, it’s that they would rather spend the money on their own social programs.

Congress already passed a law requiring Congressional approval to pull out so he can’t do it unilaterally.

I saw somewhere the opposite: that it’s better to build solar and transmission lines. So idk what the truth is.

Taleb would be proud.

Problematic? You are taking elements that cause ocean dead zones and recycling them to generate food. Sounds close to the best possible system.

Theoretically, I guess telling HN people they should be out saving lives could save lives.

On the bright side, what you’re doing sounds more fun than crossing lots of t’s

I think most municipal waste systems in the U.S. do this. Probably other developed countries too. And they probably do it to a higher standard of safety and not allowing leaching or runoff.

Of course if you like something you like it. Just so happens that kidneys are not one of the most universally liked ingredients is all I’m saying

I don’t think American food is particularly revered either though, is it?

You’re right, and that’s not the bad I meant to set. More like cuisine that is associated with Britain. So not a French restaurant that happens to be in London.

Not dox but I was thinking there could be old materials in there that people were using to dox her. Idk, why else would they remove it?
