sib301··on Lichess: The free and open source chess server
Same. I love lichess and I’m so happy it exists, but I prefer the chess.com interface for playing, and analyzing games.

Probably because I started there

sib301··on High performance individuals and teams (2020)
Also, it’s subjective. I have hundreds of games on both platforms, and I prefer chess.com.

sib301··on Delta CEO wants U.S. to put unruly passengers on 'no-fly' list
That’s because there are very specific laws that protect renters in those types of situations. Completely different.

A better analogy: If I purchase a movie ticket, the theater cannot just kick me out at will, right? Oh wait - yes they can.

sib301··on Delta CEO wants U.S. to put unruly passengers on 'no-fly' list
Are there reports of widespread unruly airline staff I’m not aware of?

Why is this useful? I assume it is, but I don’t know why…
sib301··on Tell HN: We have a responsibility to speak out against blockchain technologies

sib301··on Pfizer board member suggests end to mask, vaccine mandates
Dude go to a hospital in a populated area during this surge. My wife sat in the waiting room for 3 hours with SEVERE abdominal pain, DURING A PREGNANCY and was unable to be seen. We went home. If she’d had an ectopic pregnancy, she would probably not be here anymore.

sib301··on Music industry is suing youtube-dl hosters
This is like suing VCR manufacturers because some people used them to record music videos off of MTV.
sib301··on Music industry is suing youtube-dl hosters
No. Alltube isn’t a music ripping site. It’s a site that allows users to download any YouTube video. Some users use this tool to download music.
sib301··on Ask HN: Why are we accepting ageism in tech as something immutable?
Good lord, I hope you don’t manage people.
sib301··on World No.1 tennis player has his visa rejected and asked to leave Australia
Curious that he wouldn’t specify what his “series of problems” were. It’s almost as if he had an agenda…
sib301··on Ask HN: Please recommend a router without need for a cloud account
Also using net gear. I suspect the vast majority of users here are savvy enough to get around the cloud requirement but non-technical users likely would not have figured it out.
sib301··on Shrooms: What You Need to Know
This gave me a good laugh
sib301··on Roku tells customers it is unable to strike a deal with YouTube
I didn’t have the reset option for cached settings so I still have a large banner ad. Oh well cool stuff.
sib301··on The open source revolution is coming and it will conquer the 1% – ex CIA spy
Go spend a few minutes on his Wikipedia page. You might come away with a different opinion.
sib301··on Kape Technologies buys ExpressVPN for $936M
FWIW, I once worked at NSA, and likely care more about privacy than anyone you know. These places employ 10s of thousands of people, and the people that come out are as varied as the industry at large.
sib301··on How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Tech Debt
Off topic: Everyone using “How I learned to stop worrying and…” for their titles is getting really stale.
sib301··on DeJoy USPS slowdown plan will delay the mail. What’s it mean for your Zip code?
Recently in my community we’ll go up to a week without receiving mail. As in the mail person literally won’t show up in our neighborhood for a week. Is this the new normal?

sib301··on Magic Mushrooms Are Decriminalized in DC as of Today
This is a generalization of a personal anecdote, which is exactly what you asked the other user not to do.
sib301··on AirPods Max: An Audiophile Review
As the original post acknowledged, judging audio is subjective even when done by professionals. He also points out that the AirPods Max makes things vary from person to person due to its DSP (This seems like buying and enjoying these headphones is an even bigger roll of the dice. Why didn’t he make a bigger deal out of this?)

That said, my understanding was that Bose was a running joke among audiophiles, so I was surprised that the author of your link recommended them. Makes me think he might not actually know what he’s talking about. But I’m no audiophile...

sib301··on Apple CEO sounds warning of algorithms pushing society towards catastrophe
Yes we should be honest about the shortcomings of both sides, but if you think what happened on the 6th is even in the same league as what happened in Portland then I think you might be misguided.

Aside from the death of the police officer, and the fact that this was the US Capitol and not some random democratic headquarters where some windows broke, and spray paint was left, it should astound and terrify you that one of these was done under the banner of, and at the direction of a political leader.

If there are Twitter handles that are provably inciting violence on either side, ban them and turn them into the authorities, but we’re not talking about the same thing here on both sides.
