gab platform is fairly pro far-right, as is the founder. HN crowd is susceptible to tribalism just like any other group.

Modern equivalent: don't text or email when you can call, don't call when you can speak face to face, don't speak face to face if you can wink

you see powerful people following this advice all the time, like with Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch’s tarmac meeting. He flew in a plane to talk face to face just to ensure it wouldn't get recorded.

Satellites aren't pollution. They have a 10 year service life then fall back down to Earth.

Do you also complain about buildings ruining your french nights? Or billboards? Or traffic noise? Should we ban all automobiles and buildings and outdoor lighting? Should we ban all combustion engines to ensure there's no amount of smog in the air as well?

Satellites are extremely far down on the list of public nuisances and don't serve any threat to our health unlike smog and carbon emissions.

Elon's (public) motive about colonizing other planets has never been about rich people having fun. It's an existential necessity.

I'm not sure I've encountered a single bug in the half year or more I've had this. I don't ask a lot of it, to be fair. I guess Firefox as my main browser really drains the hell out of the battery, which is annoying. Not really a bug.

I've been really happy with my M1 and it's my first Macbook ever, I've been a diehard Windows guy my entire life. So, so, so tired of loud and failing fans on my Windows machines, terrible trackpads, terrible displays, constant hardware issues, Windows update forcing shutdowns in the middle of meetings, malware-level upgrade prompts, etc etc.

I have a 2" cube and wish I had the sphere instead for sure

Facebook filters and censors content on a massive scale. They even block private messages with certain keywords or domains

I'm been using a tool to simply help filter out negativity:

It's still a really early version but I know the guy is still working on it

Either it's a dupe, people don't like seeing negative press about Apple, people found the article misleading, or they don't like the publisher in general

I can think of multiple examples of rushed games that are good, or became good - though Miyamoto's quote here may have been before the era of internet updates.

I think part of the issue is that all the things that men fare worse in that you listed out are the results of a society that is controlled by men. Men are doing this to themselves.

The problem for women is that the negative societal aspects of their lives are not controlled by women - it's still largely controlled by men. Same for people of color in the US - their lives are largely controlled by white people (and specifically white men).

I think even for the wildest of misogynists out there (I am in no way implying this is you or anyone on HN) it's hard to argue that the world would not be drastically different if it was mostly controlled by women.
