Do you feel threatened? Fuck off.

Do you feel like an idiot? Fuck off.

Do you feel I'm having a bad day? Fuck off.

For the record. This post on Dr. Seuss has no place on HN. If it is allowed on HN but dissent ideas are not, then fuck off together with your woke HN points. I'm sick of idiots turned social warriors. Fuck off

That include anybody that cares to point me to HN guidelines. Have a nice weekend, but fuck off in the mean time

We've seen revolutions before and they were not pretty.

Some bureaucrat entity always decides at some moment that paying for storage of an arbitrarily old project tooling is not worth it.

I think I replied to assimilation of the idea of totalitarian regime institutionalizing otherwise mentally healthy people for dissidence to merely not letting them vent on radio.

Indirect lines explaining seemingly unrelated concepts are everywhere. They even made some shows about that. However, linking these two particular concepts together is strange.

Which is indeed your prerogative until you mess with the laws of physics and start believing that because you move your arms very quickly you can fly, and that will stop you from falling off of a cliff.

There is a five-whys strategy to go to some bottom of an issue but even this strategy will fail you when you cherry-pick the answers to your convenience.

Soviets did not give airtime to pro-party ideologues to validate their position. There was no competition between ideologues to get more airtime. The program was _dictated_ by the powers that be.

Generalizations are useful until they aren't! Let's put our thinking hats for a sec don't you think?

Thieves will not profile a person using a premium locked phone against stealing it because it might not be worth it. They don't care about that. They will take whatever they can if only for practicing their skills.

Locking phones does not deter theft but unlocking them will offset the price of unlocking from the phone-shop to the thief increasing the profitability of theft.

I personally don't care about Apple, their phones, their M1's and their ecosystem. But acting out your premise leads to a place I don't like. And others as well. And if you think you can buy a cheaper premium phone if it is unlocked, ask yourself why thieves would continue to sell you cheaper if they know they give you a usable device?

For Apple, there is a different set of axioms and some people seem to agree with them.

I guess we'll see soon what it means to get rid of it.

No, they do a lot more of _nothing_. Something that would have been obvious and unacceptable on a 600MHz single core machine.

Air debit is only one dimension. You can pick arbitrary dimensions to compare products depending on which one you want to (if you would) show preference to.

Did they check also the noise level? The dimensions? How long you can run the thing before changing the filters? Do they have some form of regulator or are they always on? Do they fall apart when you bump on them?

It's like comparing processors by their clock speed. Which one 'is outperformed' by the other?
