moron123··on At least 20 dead as walkie-talkies explode in Lebanon
I think you demonstrated the exact purpose of the attack.

Mossad doesn't kill fo fun, they kill to prevent others from killing them.

So yes, they can now sleep at night thanks to this attack.

moron123··on At least 20 dead as walkie-talkies explode in Lebanon
Makes perfect sense.

I attack your country and kill 1200 people, and you airdrop me pallets of cash.

Great deal.

moron123··on At least 20 dead as walkie-talkies explode in Lebanon
Let's get this straight.

When Israel executes an air strike to kill the terrorists that are killing their civilians for no reason, your lot howl at the moon about "indiscriminate" "disproportionate" "genocide".

But when Israel ingeniously figures out a way to detonate explosives only on the terrorists bodies, you call that indiscriminate too?

It's pretty obvious that you just hate Israel. No matter what Israel does, you will never be happy.

Israel is here to stay. When people like you make peace with that, we will be able to live in peace.

moron123··on Surprising gender biases in GPT
Not surprising
moron123··on Now is a good time to start a service business
I think you're idea of a niche is a little too broad. SMB is not a niche, plumbers is a niche. Are there accounting software, or CRMs made specifically for plumbers? Probably. But you can make a better one. Don't like plumbers? Try electricians or roofers. How about solar panel installers? How about installers of a specific brand of solar panel? There may be many SMB softwares, but if you pick a niche, you will find less competition catering to that specific customer.
moron123··on Coinbase targets financially vulnerable young adults
Coinbase may not be the best representative of crypto, but the philosophy and technology still has a lot of potential.

All it takes is one more breakthrough. We saw it with AI.

When the chatgpt of crypto comes around, it will sweep the world.

moron123··on Ex-Reddit CEO on Twitter moderation
Meh. This theory doesn't fit to the reality of clearly politically motivated moderation on reddit and twitter and elsewhere. Banning Jordan Peterson for calling a Trans person by their old name is not a "pattern of misbehavior" and Jordan Peterson is not known for causing any offline violence. Heck, reddit banned one of the largest subreddits because they supported trump.

moron123··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
As an Elon fanboy, nothing he did surprised me in the least. He may be one of the most consistent public figures out there.
moron123··on RIP Good Times (2008)
Few understand the domino effect.

A smaller domino can topple a much bigger one, which can topple a bigger one and so on.

moron123··on A Bitcoin bust that took down the web’s biggest child abuse site
Crypto haters: See, bitcoin is not private, it sucks.

Bitcoin maxis: See, Bitcorn can't be used for crime.

Everyone will see what they want.

moron123··on Web3 'contains the seeds of a dystopian nightmare' says analyst firm
This is technically true, but there's no denying that web 2.0 has become more centralized.
moron123··on Inclusive Coding Bot on GitHub
I wish this were an April Fools joke, but sadly, it's real.

Reminds me of when they changed the factory_girl gem to factory_bot.

Many, many, many hours wasted in service to the idea that women found factory_girl to be offensive, which had less than 0 evidence to it.

moron123··on Sen. Warren Announces Sanctions Compliance Bill for Crypto Companies
All experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

I thought this was satire, but then I saw the .gov

We are living in a satire universe folks.

moron123··on My thirty years of dodging repetitive work with automation tools
I can't believe I got all the way to the bottom without seeing a mention of integromat.

As an automation addict (and a no longer coding coder) this is what you should be using.

Prices range from free to cheap and I'm sure it does 99.9% of what "tines" does

moron123··on Tesla to recall vehicles that may disobey stop signs
The impact of the rear ending would probably propel the car forward and hit the child, is what I think the previous commentor meant.

Step 1: Insert pivot table Step 2: Set data source Step 3: set row (pivots) Step 4: set value (summary)

moron123··on Robert W Malone account suspended on Twitter
At what point of this slippery slope will people start to wake up?

Yesterday it was a conspiritard, that was fine.

Then it was a right-winger, screw him.

Today it's a credentialed scientist, but he's going against the narrative.

Tomorrow?

moron123··on Show HN: SlikSafe – A decentralized, end-to-end encrypted alternative to Dropbox
Part of the core motivations of ipfs is to make files last forever. The idea is similar to bittorrent (or any p2p file sharing system). There's no guarantee, but it's more likely that a file will be hosted by one of millions of people, over a handful of corporate servers.
