I needed this.

It’s really sad how tribalist politics have pervasively overtaken rational discussions. I dream of discourse that doesn’t devolve into conversations about leftists, conservatives, and various interest groups.

What are you doing?

I interpreted it as 'upspeak'

My how far we’ve come in such a short few years.

This reply seems needlessly obstinate and accusatory

The exact word you’re looking for is Rhotacism

What value is in a gender studies degree, and what path does that take careerwise?

That’s the point here though isn’t it? I don’t want the internet involved with turning the lights on when I have to get up at night.

I’d imagine this line of thinking is what Apple hopes for, people burdened with the luxury of choice who just want someone to tell them what they want.

I feel like this is sarcasm but the real answer is you should act appropriately for your surroundings. Someone else’s event is not your platform, especially so in this case.

It always has

You're too wrapped up in the grand vision to invite us for the ride. Don't do that. Give us a quick and concise summary without jargon or marketing flair. If you can't express it in a few sentences, it's not ready.

I think a lot of the problems we face today are largely unacknowledged by those who create them. The delivery lacked any empathy but does not make it less true. Actions have consequences and ignorance of those outcomes doesn’t mean you can escape them. The world would be a little bit better of a place if we’d stop coddling those who float haphazardly through their own existence.

I don’t agree with the false equivalency of open source or shareware meaning a lib is crap.

I don’t trust them to implement the protocol without deviating from the accepted safe practices surrounding them. It is against their interest.

If this comment gets any more grey I should probably leave HN because all logic is gone, and we are just voting based on emotions now.

Folks let’s get back back on tech and leave the politics to those with time for unproductive discussion.

I am confused why this story was posted here

No, I think Prepend is right. This is painful to read, feels disjointed at times, then ends abruptly. Good articles aren't written this way.

And you won’t be able to do anything but ask because you are not a police officer. ISP isn’t a court and restaurant operators aren’t officers of the law.

In the case of chemically treated pallets quite simply yes.

In my community it is against the rules and deemed unsightly

What site is it

You don’t have to do this here. Nobody assumed you were saying something with malicious intent.

This is the first time I’ve ever heard someone say Orkut was a time monopolizer. Can you share a bit about your background and use for this network?

A closed and self hosted family social network without the marketing momentum would be great. Self hosting removes the need for marketing and data sharing shenanigans that most companies require for growth.

Just curious, why is this being grey’d?

I can’t readily discern where you are going with this comment. Perhaps the point would have been better stated another way.

One is a large company and one is a person. This is a well worn logical stumbling point that many don’t consider.

I love the show and I'm happy I found it. That being said, I think you're right, I watched it initially only because Jonah Hill was in it. Come to think of it, I binge watched it for 2 nights and still haven't finished it, and if you asked me what the story line was, I can only vaguely describe it.
