why did they find the need to rename this? Am i missing something?

Netgear GS305e supports VLANs and can be ~$21

wrong about wrong. if you go down that path, you are powerless. we live in a society that is imperfect. but you cannot live on a pedestal alone and be perfect either.

you should shop at "walmart" or where-ever your dollar is the most effective. and that gives you the most stability and and position to challenge whether the current Walton regime's love of China is a good thing or not. but cutting your nose off to spite your face does nothing useful.

the overwhelming majority of people, 95%+, are wonderful awesome people.

probably you too. awesome people sometimes screw up, but that's OK. if you really still think that "everyone sucks" then maybe you are in the 5%

Versal "edge" VE2302 boards are coming from multiple vendors. much better pricing.

i'm guessing they will be available in a month or so - they are supposed to "Q2" but seem to be a little bit late (as is typical).

why, seems sick!

> The 8086 and 80286 were so difficult to program, both in assembler and higher level languages.

286 protected modes, sure.

16-bit 8086, no way. difficulty of use did not hinder.

celebrating proper 32-bit protected modes, absolutely agree. but x86 was still well liked and used and was not the clunker that 286 was.

*sentient raccoons (we are pedantic)

> This does not seem likely as even by adding this many cars to the market, there’s no way they would sell at 25% of value

agree.

and how does decommissioning 2200 chargers cost $50M - $100M? that's $22K - $44K each.

you turn the breaker off. you don't need to rip the chargers out.

regardless of whether or not you think it's a good idea, breathlessly inflating it to "might be" a billion dollars does not convince me more.

disagree, strongly. kiwi-farms has nothing to do with hn. if kiwi-farms starts brigading and spamming/trolling on hn, it gets flagged.

> the other comments in the subthread are still indexed, visible & tend not to get moderated/flagged

indexed: please complain to google.

visible: not unless you turn on show-dead. so don't do that.

don't get moderated: they are already dead.

> I'm as much of a fan of adverbs

i mean what i said. i'm extremely tired of seeing histrionics and exaggerations, misplaced blame, etc. turned into loud, unfair, criticism toward what is probably the best moderated group i can think of.

JWZ's banner is at least recognizable as satire, and his opinions are well known. i can disagree with him, but still find it a little bit funny (and immature). but if you do the same thing (yes, with a please), then you are just exactly as mature. and if you are serious, less grounded in reality and not nearly as funny.

> were on average much nicer than those who got their stuff for free!

this is always true with, at least a great many, people. it's related to choosey-beggar syndrome. it's a bug/glitch/feature in human psychology.

if you ever have the chance to be a property manager, never ever let someone move in a week early or pay a week later for free. never let your rent get drastically below market. when people aren't paying for something, it's incredibly common behavior to stop respecting it. it's like a switch flips and suddenly they are doing you the favor.

that's why in times past, offering or taking "charity" was considered impolite. but making a small excuse might be ok. say someone needs to stay an extra week after their lease was over, but was strapped for cash. instead of saying "sure you can stay one more week", say "well, you'd really be doing me a small favor staying in the place to watch for the extra week since it's empty anyway. how about i discount the rent by 50% for that week and amend the lease to take care of it."

seconded. even if it was completely true criticism, which it categorically is not, putting up a half-page banner is extremely gauche and immature.

saying things like "an organized attempt to destroy lives, including of developers in our communities" is patently not true. trolls get flagged. honest nice people who don't agree with you aren't trying to destroy anything and nor do they hate you.
