Someone who is upset enough about being being called out for using gendered language that they post a complaint about the interaction, on hacker news, I would bet real money that the OP is a straight male.
I would also bet that the straight male would say "no" to the question "do you fuck guys?"

Holmes made one single promise on which she couldn't (possibly) deliver while
Musk makes dozens of promises and delivers well enough on enough of them that he'll never be fully discredited.
The whole "stepping on a single nail vs. sleeping on a bed of nails" metaphor.

I always thought that the benefit of the physical device was that it was decoupled from the main device. If someone steals my laptop, for example, they won't be able to access my MFA secured accounts unless they ALSO steal my phone (and are unable to lock it).

Thanks for sharing. Seems painful.
I've seen similar things where people seem to just lose their moral compass along with reasonable inhibitions and I've also attributed that to substance abuse, though not cocaine specifically.

This is a side effect that I'm not aware of. Can you share more, please?

So, it's nowhere near every street corner or playground, but I encounter a surprising amount of second hand smoke here in (legal) Seattle. Although it's not really much more than it was pre-legalization.

I'm probably doing standups wrong...
And then you describe some of the healthiest standup culture I've seen...

It was when Ryan Davis died that I realized just how intimate the podcasting medium could be. While I also loved the rest of the crew, I couldn't listen to Giant Bomb without him. It was just too sad.

The "uhhhh, this is a private venue, they don't owe you a soapbox" rhetoric rings increasingly hollow when we just went through a multiyear period when society collectively forced millions of people to work or go to school over the internet, often through big tech platforms.
That feels like a non-sequitur. People can both use mainstream platforms for work/school and create/find their own platforms for other parts of their life.

It's something run repeatedly, so small chances will occur. Amoung it's failure states are being very, very wrong in ways that are hard for a skilled human to detect without more work that writing from scratch.
Also makes for a great plot summary for the original Jurassic Park

Lynch mobs are strong and engaged communities, after all.

I like to make the distinction between companies that treat software as a necessary evil vs. a competitive advantage.

I'm using the TP-Link Omada access points and router along with the software controller and it's pretty great.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
I wouldn't believe a masterfully crafted video of vaccines actually being implanted with microchips unless the video were authenticated by at least one reputable news source. Provenance matters, and just like we don't believe extraordinary things based on single out-of-context photograph, we shouldn't believe extraordinary things based on a single out-of-context video.
