I was too tired to elaborate, thank you for doing it for me.
tragictrash··on California approves bill to punish doctors who spread false information
I think usually is a very strong and very incorrect word here.

I understand what you're getting at, but I think you greatly underestimate the amount of incorrect assertions that need to happen before a sensible consensus is reached. Historically, in the body of science, we're wrong something like 99% of the time until someone gets it right.

Also, your comment is a straw man argument. The law isn't going to chastise people questioning existing mainstream views, only the ones spouting horribly incorrect information. Noone is saying it will do that, other than you and other commenters who didnt read the article.

Last, are you really questioning the benefit of washing our hands?

tragictrash··on Team developing oral insulin tablet sees breakthrough results in rats
Touche :D
tragictrash··on Nearly 90% of U.S. households used air conditioning in 2020
This is what I'm talking about with your inability to think for yourself. You're just repeating right wing, xenophobic, incorrect talking points. It's literally 100% political nonsense.

Leave the thinking for the ones good at it, ok? You seem to be getting a little worked up and we wouldn't want to get your panties all twisted up trying and failing to overthrow democracy again.

tragictrash··on Will California Eliminate Anonymous Web Browsing? (Comments on CA AB 2273)
Yeah I agree, but doubt the senate's ability to understand the concept, much less draft regulations that enact it.
tragictrash··on Trump’s Truth Social Barred from Google Play Store
It is objectively whataboutism, and welcome to the real world.

Please stop the whataboutism. The devil doesn't need an advocate. Go home.

tragictrash··on Ask HN: What do you do to 'relax' after an intense day of firefighting?
Go get a medical cannabis card. If available in your state, telling a doctor your symptoms after a stressful day will probably qualify you.

Don't smoke it, use eddibles.

tragictrash··on Apple held up Telegram’s latest update over emoji
So... Correct?
tragictrash··on Remote work is probably hurting your body and brain
This article makes do many poor assumptions. Disregard it.
tragictrash··on Tell HN: Apple products come with ungrounded plug in India
The ground is there to protect humans against an electrical fault by shunting enough current to trip the breaker and shut off the power.

If you feel an electric shock from touching the MacBook while plugged in, there's a fault in your electric system. You need to have a professional electrician come out and look at it, immediately. Delaying or not doing so is waiting for a disaster to happen. You may now be liable too, because you know there's a problem and didn't fix it.

Why? No idea, but get your shit fixed before someone gets hurt.

tragictrash··on Ask HN: Aging and learning. Does it become more difficult?
There is a physiological change that occurs in the brain as you age. It is more difficult to learn as you get older.

Lots of people never stop learning until they die. It's just not as easy. Some people do better than others.

30 is not that age.

You ever consider you may be burnt out?

It takes 4-6 weeks for your brain chemistry to return to normal after quitting. Good luck.

Remember, dishwashers are more efficient at using resources than washing them by hand.

Bitcoin just consumes extra energy, not makes an existing process more efficient.

tragictrash··on Arctic melting four times faster than rest of the planet, study says
This is prime "I'm 13 and this is deep" content. Great job!
tragictrash··on Cannabis use associated with lower Covid severity among hospitalized patients
Cannabis causes tons of people lots of problems. Not to mention that the most popular method of consumption is SMOKING. You are breaking molecular bonds and letting them recombine randomly.

Don't get me wrong, it has medicinal uses and I support the legalization of it, but people like you calling it a miracle cure for everything are insufferable.

If you're trying to quit, try switching to eddibles. Longer time to have an effect makes it less addictive.

I think your comment reflects more on yourself than anything else.
tragictrash··on France experiencing worst drought on record
Oh no baby got a boo boo. Call the waaaaaaambulance.

You don't understand what you're asking for.

tragictrash··on Ralph Nader urges regulators to recall Tesla’s ‘manslaughtering’ FSD vehicles
A recall is a bureaucratic process, not the physical travel of cars to a repair shop.

In this case, a recall is very much needed, and would be issued OTA to all the Teslas. It would 100% be a recall, and none of the cars would go to a dealership.

If you look at his submissions and comment history, I don't worry so much, it's all hyper partisan politically influenced hot takes.

The funny part is he's contributing to the problem, as in not realizing it's the working class vs the rich, not the left vs the right.

tragictrash··on Show HN: PGPP (Pretty Good Phone Privacy) – a new type of mobile privacy service
This is awesome. Thank you for the great work!!!!!
tragictrash··on Show HN: Build for any cloud with the same code
This is the story of all time on my experience. I always see someone working on something just like this.

It always creates a new framework with idiosyncratic development practices that require you to lean the underlying systems to utilize it.

Call me a pessimist, but I doubt the utility of a project like this. Don't get me wrong, it's admirable for trying, but when the rubber meets the road, you're going to need someone who has deep knowledge of each of these platforms to run in production.

Why bother with multy? I'll just write my code so it's easily migrateable between cloud providers, and not use multy.

Sorry for the harsh feedback, but I'm not drinking the Kool aid.

I got news for you and everyone else on this thread.

This isn't new. The powerful always have and always will suppress opposing ideas.

tragictrash··on Ask HN: Would you use an email service that can only be reset in person?
I've worked in those roles for many years. I also busted my ass in dangerous blue collar under the table jobs for years before I got into software and my current position. My first software job was 80 hours a week at a startup for 35k a year, and I was happy to do it because it was on the books and I wasn't in danger of getting crushed by heavy machinery.

Did I say that a state issued id would be the only form of id required to reset your password? No. That's pretty idiotic, and you know it would never fly in the real world. Come on, let's try and be an adult and stop with the straw man arguments.

There's so many avenues of attack for the current password reset process (sim swapping, identity theft) that another layer would definitely improve security. Should we not do it because "oh no someone can forge an id"?

Grow up and drop the straw man arguments.
