A dollar then would have given me just over half a mil in 2021! And here I thought real estate investing has been the best decision strategy of my life haha.

The moment I observe an article overzealously relying on direct quotes and anecdotes of everyone the 'reporter' was able to get their hands on, it's tab close time.

My children (one is in High School and the other in College) don't get bothered by advertisements as much as me (are they desensitized?). I would rather pay for most of these "free" services if there was an option to simply opt out of having my data harvested.

I might be a bit biased because my first car was a used M3 e36 back in the 90s. My wife just bought the M5 last year, admittedly one of the best driving experiences in recent years.

> JavaScript is analogous to Visual Basic in that it can be used by people with little or no programming experience to quickly construct complex applications.

>JavaScript scripts are designed to run on both clients and servers, with JavaScript scripts used to modify the properties and behavior of Java objects, so the range of live online applications that dynamically present information to and interact with users over enterprise networks or the Internet is virtually unlimited.

JS has come a long way in 25 years :-)

If there's anything Biden will do, is to enable the cause further.

It is strange that I read every article from the domain *.substack.com with a preliminary conclusion that it was either written directly by GPT-3 or influenced by it.

You'll notice I stopped engaging with the replies once I recognized there was a texas-sharpshooter being invoked by my subconscious self through the parent comment. If we got a DUI but for using the internet, I would be top10 ;)

You're absolutely right - especially the second point. With that said, I often find the xenophobia here a bit disturbing, but (and thats a massive but) to say those are "typical American ethics" (like above) tantamounts to a sweeping generalization. One which does not represent American values at all.

HN is and has been passively aggressive towards Indians, I think anyone who browses this forum for a month would know that, it's hardly news. I also don't understand your critique and would advise you to refrain from generalizing all Americans as an extrapolation of this extremely niche forum.

>When a new programming language comes out, he buys the book, and reads it, and then he's fluent in that language.

The next human evolution should be synthesized to traject towards this prototype.

Suspicious barrage of new accounts on this post. Hmm, especially top level comments.

That would bring something called accountability to the table. We're not ready for it yet. Enjoy the new UX!

Some comments are worth glancing over from time to time. This is one of them. Thanks for the reality check.

I couldn't stimulate myself intellectually reading your comment :(

Haven't used any chromium in years, hence the question. Is uMatrix not available on their addon store?

Good introspection. You're almost there.

Ah yes, those pesky Microsoft-Apple™ cloud guidelines.

>Do you think SSL encryption is really a subject for children?

Yes.

ps: I find it insulting that you find a random illustration insulting. Re-asses your thought process, I'll wager a guess you're better than this.

Brewing up space for that next startup who respects their users and works in the same marketplace ;)

IKR, went in expecting a natural derivative off based on the title. Not to witness three "perfect" shots which came out okay. Wonder why it's here. It isn't thorough, doesn't provide examples either.

I locked myself in and committed to it. The best time to invest in AMZN was 10 years ago, the next best time is now.

Selective moderation and any kind of "leanings" at the level of the medium-provider tends to inhibit people from talking. I know, shocker. Once about a time, the web was about people and connections. Now, it's inching towards being about ideologies.

Censorship is ridiculous. Given the current political climate, the chinese government can't really do much to the U.S. (as it knows it's no match), small retorts like these are their way to signal discomfort. Plus they've had a long infamous history of doing exactly this with U.S. based software, so it comes as no surprise.

Libre, apache, onlyoffice, google, microsoft and someone mentioned zoho. So many players in the market. Wonder if there's a player that can complete with the likes of office365's feature set .

Acts like these set precedent for future actions by colleges across the spectrum.

I've gotten heat for saying this in the past, but the "student" community of certain academic departments are almost looking to be offended at anything these days.

The perils of social media and cancel culture...

If people openly believe that centralization of the web is bad yet we continue pumping unnecessary money into the tech industry - then surely this must mean we're in a bubble. How wrong am I?

ahh yes, theplace! IMHO the last bastion of reddit's old school leanings before they adopted the path to please investers over users.
