pwned1··on Doorbell cam filmed Tesla Autopilot crash that killed woman in her home
Pure propaganda article.
pwned1··on Meme group on Discord is focus of uproar over leaked Pentagon documents
When a reporter wants to insert his or her own opinion, they simply refer to a random "expert" or "researcher" of said subject. So when you see such wording, just think in your head, "I say."
pwned1··on Silicon Valley Bank parent, CEO, CFO are sued by shareholder for fraud
This is what E&O insurance is for. Insurance company will defend and settle. Class members will get a $5 gift card to Applebee's. And the lawyers will get 1/3 of the settlement in fees, probably a few million bucks.
pwned1··on HBO cancels Westworld after 4 seasons
The first three seasons were amazing. Season four lost my interest after about five episodes. I don't really even know what the plot is in season four. Not sure what happened to the story line.
pwned1··on Show HN: A social network like Myspace, built on top of Notion
Careful, "myspace" is trademarked and it's likely you'll need to come up with a name less confusingly similar, if they decide to enforce their mark.
pwned1··on Mark Zuckerberg’s new Metaverse selfie is so bad people can’t believe it’s real
I don't get the new metaverse thing. Is it just Second Life?
pwned1··on Ask HN: Sold a 1K item on eBay; chargeback occurred–eBay collections, now what?
No. Once you're in a court, the case stays in court. You can't appeal a trial court decision to an arbitrator.
pwned1··on Ask HN: Sold a 1K item on eBay; chargeback occurred–eBay collections, now what?
Generally courts have looked down upon forcing arbitration for cases that are tiny, like small claims cases. Some courts might invalidate an arbitration clause if there is no small claims exception.
pwned1··on Ask HN: Sold a 1K item on eBay; chargeback occurred–eBay collections, now what?
The ebay terms of service force an arbitration procedure, however, the exception is if you go to small claims court. Most small-claims courts have an upper limit of something like $2,500, so your claim is under that. Send a certified letter with your details and state that if they do not reverse the chargeback, you will take the case to small claims court in your city. They will spend a lot more just replying to such a case than the value of it.

> You and eBay each agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen, or may arise, between you and eBay (or any related third parties) that relate in any way to or arise out of this or previous versions of the User Agreement, your use of or access to our Services, the actions of eBay or its agents, or any products or services sold, offered, or purchased through our Services shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court.

> Alternatively, you may assert your claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.

EDIT: If you happen to be in Michigan, hit me up, I am a lawyer and I enjoy helping with these sorts of things.

pwned1··on You can’t buy one square foot of land in Scotland and become a Scottish lord
I was enjoying this essay until it was interrupted by this pseudoscience gibberish.
pwned1··on Counterfeits, fraud, and theft: Why Silca changed its return policy
I get a web page with the company logo and nothing else.
pwned1··on Trends in menstrual bleeding changes after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination
What is that "short time?"
pwned1··on Trends in menstrual bleeding changes after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination
Is it though?
pwned1··on Trends in menstrual bleeding changes after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination
When the company has legal immunity... well I think you can answer your own question.
pwned1··on Trends in menstrual bleeding changes after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination
You'd be billions of dollars poorer.
pwned1··on James Webb first images – complete set of high resolution shots now live
My god, look at the background of the first image at full scale.
pwned1··on Bing contract prohibits DuckDuckGo from completely blocking Microsoft tracking
You missed my point. You are anti bubble, but you create the bubble for me. With no transparency into what you're doing.
pwned1··on Bing contract prohibits DuckDuckGo from completely blocking Microsoft tracking
I've been a DDG user since your early days (you mailed me some DDG stickers when they were free). I was using DDG on every device and setting all of my family members to use the same on their devices.

You lost me when you started telling us that you were going to start deciding what is unacceptable "russian propaganda" without any transparency into what that means or who will be deciding. Completely antithetical to your anti-bubble mission. It pains me to not be a cheerleader for you anymore, but that was such a betrayal that I can't get past it.

pwned1··on The Uselessness of Phenylephrine
Pseudoephedrine isn't banned, you just have to ask the pharmacist for it.
pwned1··on Namecheap: Russia Service Termination
Well, at least my .su domain still works...
pwned1··on Heroku was Down
Back up just now.
pwned1··on Heroku was Down
It would be nice if they updated their status page. sigh
pwned1··on Ask HN: Best Gmail Alternative?
Fastmail. And you can use your own domain, which you own, rather than a domain someone else owns.
pwned1··on Show HN: Full text search on 630M US court cases
Do you really need to include divorce cases?
pwned1··on Scientist busts myths about how humans burn calories
Another formulation that I like:

Exercise to build muscle, eat to lose fat

pwned1··on Mysterious aircraft spotted at Area 51 in satellite image
There is no way this isn't on purpose. They wouldn't expose something sensitive to satellite imaging unless they wanted to.
pwned1··on Moderna’s HIV vaccine has officially begun human trials
Since the mRNA covid vaccines seem to only work for 90-180 days, why would a vaccine for anything else be different?
pwned1··on [dead]
A directory/search engine of such sites would be nice. It would eliminate all the SEO spam ad sites.
pwned1··on I cannot begin to tell you how proficient I am in Microsoft Word
Well, I'll just come out and say it. I love Word. Always have. I love Windows too. There.
pwned1··on Open letter from the BMJ to Mark Zuckerberg
Facebook themselves state that their "fact checkers" are not really checking facts, their work is opinion.
