Did he also take part on Microsoft's attempts to prevent open graphics standards?
Another option is to leave your will to the smartest HN comment from the following year. It would set off a tough race

Hacker News[1] is pretty much a one-person (dang) business

so that was a lie?

Considering Woz's history of not having produced anything of value, it is clear what this coin will be worth
just to clarify, I don't think "oversized image" was a mistake on author's part, but a deliberate attempt to inflate book size, hence the rest of my sentence
Re:Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (December 2020) on Wednesday December 02, 2020 @01:43AM (#25273835)
at most 35% ppl are willing to relocate, since you run the second command after the first one and new comments could have been added in between.
You wrote a notebook, not a book. Also your example pages have oversized images and still you only have 130 pages of content, yet you are charging an extreme amount for it.

Re:Ask HN: Why Isn't Paulgraham.com on HTTPS? on Wednesday November 25, 2020 @08:00PM (#25215961)
It is a feature. As a frequent user, I would rather have it on plain HTTP as well. Aside from the performance benefit, it also helps if people monitoring my internet traffic (my ISP, NSA, Putin, Zuck etc.) reads Paul Graham and they may get enlightened. May not seem much but it is actually one of the few steps humanity is taking towards world peace.
it is necessary

GNOME 3 was a mistake, Unity was even more of a mistake.

Re:PSA: The Instagram PWA does not show any ads. Yet on Wednesday November 11, 2020 @01:10AM (#25055954)
Great! I can now watch ads without being bothered by ads in between
The "research" is politically motivated, it is thus garbage. Especially considering that it would be dangerous to publish the result if it were to show the other way, not that they would want to publish it.

Besides, not having even a drop of water for longer than 12 hours during summer is dangerous, not only to fasting people themselves but to the society as a whole since they drive cars and they have higher rate of fainting during that. But doing those for the name of religion is somehow acceptable in our society..

Re:Gitlab Blocked Iranians’ Access on Sunday October 25, 2020 @10:14AM (#24886429)
Yeah, blame U.S. corporations complying with their law, while your country has not had a single step for resolution of the sanctions.

Also if an Iranian developer is unprepared against losing their access to Gitlab, then sadly they are incompetent developers.

Re:Why Laugh at Quibi's Failure? on Thursday October 22, 2020 @07:13PM (#24864339)
The saddest part about Quibi is that with the $1.75B they raised they could have given every American $1M :(
