Re:Show HN: Friendtainer – Get reminded to meet with friends regularly
on Wednesday April 19, 2017 @08:11PM (#14152927)
I don't think that is snarky and you are correct. I'm simply trying to understand from others' points-of-view, though apparently simply asking is controversial...
I personally would feel like it cheapens the interaction if it was initiated solely on the fact that my friend set a reminder. I'm sure not everyone thinks that way, but why not ask?

Not meaning to be cynical of the work done here, but I don't know if I understand the overall concept. If you aren't staying in contact with a particular friend "enough" then maybe you aren't really friends? Sort of a natural selection of your friends.

How does Stone not make the list of Top Breweries in San Diego? Or are they not considered microbrew anymore?

To whom are you responding? The original email directed ARS to "not release any public-facing documents." That has been "retracted" for now, but still awaits final clarification.
Re:Obama Commutes Bulk of Chelsea Manning’s Sentence

And yet I see multiple HN commenters discussing this topic. It may not be how you would prefer it be discussed; however, this is how people become educated. I think the mistake here is to reply to civil comments in an uncivil way because you don't feel that they are appropriately aware of trans issues.
I would think anyone who wants to help educate others on these issues would welcome such a discussion.

"Even if you assume my comments are pointless pedantry..."
Where did I use those words?
Responses like this make it hard for me to learn from the other person. Maybe you feel like we should all already know these things, but that simply is not reality. It is not always because the person is "transphobic", as you put it, but simply uneducated on a particular topic.

I ask this seriously and not cynically: What are you trying to achieve with these comments? Are you hoping to educate people? Are you trying to scold people for not knowing better? The content of the article isn't about Manning's gender association, but your comments are only about that. I would suspect any downvotes are simply because it is off-topic..?
Re:Google wants driverless cars, but do we?
on Monday December 19, 2016 @03:26PM (#13214718)
I agree. Additionally I cannot find any reference to the author's statement about autonomous vehicles without airbags, etc.
Re:Google wants driverless cars, but do we?
on Monday December 19, 2016 @01:57PM (#13213942)
Not defending the argument, but I suspect the author was referring to the reduction in safety equipment installed on autonomous vehicles leading to more grisly accidents.
From the article: "One of the claims made for autonomous cars is that they can be lighter, shedding heavy metal crash cells and expensive safety gear, like airbags, saving fuel."

Maybe, but it is a disappointing reason. I imagine OP was hoping for some insightful, more objective reason for this.

Whose risk is reduced? The retailer or the bank? Certainly not the cardholder.
Re:Site requests bank logins for online purchases
on Wednesday November 16, 2016 @08:15PM (#12973305)
Yea, but those are different services that utilize the history of your transactions. What reason does an online retailer have to access that level of detail? Shouldn't they simply be able to accept the information on the credit card for the sale?
Re:It's Going to Be Okay

Maybe. Maybe not. We don't have a good control group to be able to know for certain. I think there is some psychological effect the term limit has on voters. For many the end of a second terms appeals to them as an opportunity of a fresh start (for better or worse), which may translate into electing a leader from a different party.

Would you prefer they complicate the discussion by trying to explain what they are? My understanding has always been that they have many plant-like characteristics, but not all. In fact, they are even a part of the plant kingdom.
