I made a waifu, then I pressed save. It wanted me to signup so I pressed back so I could just rightclick saveas but... I lost my waifu forever now :(

Slack isn't feature complete in their webapp if they even still have it. vscode.dev is new, the app existed for a long time. In practice, its the reverse; it allows you to turn an app into a website and add yet another supported platform.

This is terrifying, the wind is letting the fire jump huge gaps.

because I tried your way and it was a big fail.

Just do a less-than-legal presale on BSC or ETH. Build reputation in the crypto trading market, join Telegram and find the trading groups. Don't try to find angel investors.

Not directly about a lightbulb, but I've learned that when you see something and think "why is it this way, that's stupid" its usually not. People don't make things "stupid" for no reason.

Same here, I would have never paid if insurance didn't cover it. I also realized a lot of my problems were due to being young and I think I would have gotten over it all anyway.

My concern is these apps will make the situation worse, I don't buy the argument of "something needs to be done so lets just do the easiest thing"

there is no difference, I put it in quotes because its newspeak.

Launch firefox with the -p flag and you'll have a profile interface.

"fact checking" is bad. I'm not sure what the good version of it you imagine. By "fact checking in general" do you mean pointing out when someone is wrong? The parent comment sees fact checking as one thing: propaganda used to shut down heterodoxy. It has nothing to do with facts or truth.

A lot of you guys have no idea what you're talking about. If you're on hn and salty you missed blockchain until now, don't start thinking about writing a blogpost on it. We have enough of these, and they are all the same. If you get it, you get it. If not, you'll just be left behind (maybe your shitty blogpost will sell as an nft one day)

It seems from the comments on the video that your joke has actually been the case for a few people. Sometimes what's needed is a new perspective and a "worthless platitude".

I always thought the search was purposely bad and overly limited to prevent scraping for credentials.

He shouldn't be allowed to act on it. That's how we are in this mess. His ability to do any more damage should be immediately removed.

Society sucks. Everything we do ends up only making conditions worse, perhaps its time for a radical new way of living.

point #2 is silly. So basically your product is slower but its ok cuz its a beta only... Fine. But then cf did not mislead anyone. Your beta is slow.

lol. Because people aren't always rational. And what does the NYT or her fame have to do with it? Anyone can lie at any time. And accusing someone of lying isn't ad hominem.

Vaccines cannot save us if this is the case. A variant evolving immune evasion in another species before jumping back to humans can't be stopped.
