Where was my personal attack and incivility? Myself and downandout completely disagree but neither of us where uncivil or attacking each other.
I chose to stop responding before it became a flame war, I have no idea why you would go through this thread, and downvote and flag both of us. What are you talking about?
>But regardless, that kind of number is a full time job. If you're selling over the internet and making a full time job out of it, you can handle computing sales tax for SD residents.
But it isn't just SD, it's hundreds, if not thousands of jurisdictions. One person doesn't have that kind of time.
>No one actually expressed any defensible position, and they still haven’t
No, nobody has given you a position you agree with. You can't just say "EVERYTHING I DISAGREE WITH IS INDEFENSIBLE HURR DURR", that's not how things work.
Whether or not you agree is irrelevant, but you clearly can't see that, so arguing with you is just a waste of time.
How many times a year does that happen? Now how many times a year do you hear about shitty monitors? Hell, on Reddit alone I see 2 or 3 posts about bad monitors every day
Even with virtual windows, I think knowing that I can't directly see outside would make me extremely claustrophobic, and I think a lot of people would feel similarly.
All in all this is a cool concept, but I don't think it will be executed well. What happens when my "window" inevitably breaks (as technology is apt to do) and the illusion of being able to see is broken? What about annoying dead pixels or color banding? I can't imagine the displays being used are very high quality.
Then why the fuck do you let them reach the top of HN and do nothing about them?
