rPlayer6554on “Advice to Bride and Groom” by Plutarch (C. 100 CE)

> Men and women are not equal.

Men and women are equal in their value to the relationship and as human beings. However they are not identical. As you said we are diverse and complementary.

I think this is an important clarification before people think you are saying one sex is better and/or can dominate the other (which is not true).

rPlayer6554on I use cheap notebooks

I use the Traveler's company notebook. It's just a leather shell and it allows you to put inserts in. You can mix and match up to three or four different types of inserts. The fact I can always put in new inserts allowed me to feel more comfortable writing whatever in the notebook and not feel afraid of wasting it.

rPlayer6554on Ask HN: What sub $200 product improved your 2022

A fountain pen! I got a LAMY safari and it's so nice to write with. It's expensive for a pen although cheap for a fountain pen which can get expensive. I was peckish about buying it for 20 bucks but now that I use it I'm eying a $200 LAMY 2000.

rPlayer6554on Bitcoin core developer claims to have lost 200 BTC in hack

Just to be clear, the Catholic Church condemns slavery at this time. But what I think this Bitcoin guy may be referring to is that in the past there was not always s sufficient moral understanding for people to know _why_ all forms of slavery are wrong.

Good article that explains it: https://www.catholic.com/qa/the-changing-circumstances-of-sl...

rPlayer6554on Ask HN: How do you keep track of all the content you encounter?

I throw it in Joplin or signal self chat or just something I can search. I then accept that I will most likely never look at that thing again. If I do need it, whatever i stored it in has search.

Ah ok. I guess maybe this change kicked in after they posted.

rPlayer6554on Apple considering dropping requirement for iPhone web browsers to use WebKit

Lifetime windows user, just got a MacBook. I heard safari was better for battery life (haven't tested so can't confirm) so I thought I'd try it. It works fine for all my needs so why change?

Side note, last pass on Mac is a pile of hot garbage. I wish I had never gotten my family onto it because switching is going to be a hassle.

rPlayer6554on Americans to Provide Biometrics and Pay Fee Traveling to the U.K. From 2023

I don't think it works that way. I'm not an Android or iPhone developer but I'm pretty sure the OS does not give the app access to the actual biometric data. Apple made a big deal about fingerprints and facial data being in their secure enclave I think.

rPlayer6554on Ask HN: Comment here about whatever you're passionate about at the moment

I'm super passionate about Swing Dancing. I learned some of it in Highschool but started learning Lindy Hop in college. Unfortunately I had to skip the latest event my friends went to because I'm sick, but I really want to get back out there.

A _fantastic_ video. Look at how well all the leads communicate to their follows what to do without any verbal directions. They use their movements to direct the dance. I'm not this good but I saw this recently and I'm feeling inspired.

That's very interesting. That link is dead though.

rPlayer6554on Can the Visa-Mastercard duopoly be broken?

That is no solution. The limits are so low you can't do serious transactions with it. I think it's 1000$ instant daily transfer max, then 2500$ daily non-instant transfer.

rPlayer6554on NYC Releases Video Outlining Steps to Take During Nuclear Attack

How about option 4: we unfortunately live in a world with nuclear weapons which are controlled by humans and humans are not always predictable . Its good practice to communicate the emergency plan well in advance of needing it.

rPlayer6554on Apple's claim is that it bans other browsers for security

Let's not pretend all of HN is a hive mind. I for one thought that Firefox the browser had chosen not to be on IOS because to they couldn't use Gecko. This is new information to me.

So no, using the proper names for things is not a semantic nitpick. The commentator didn't not try to invalidate the parent's point, just show the language issue.
