That would mean the people who did the death threats get their money back.

Yes. And then they won't want to kill the journalist anymore. Because otherwise they are going to lose all their money.

It's a bad idea to reward death threats like that. There would be more of them in the future.

> “It looks like” concisely signals that you have a good faith belief in your diagnosis but are not certain.

A lot of people never get past this level of sureness, so the signal is lost (or at least compressed). You can ask them for a number from a digital display and they’ll say it “looks like 54”.

One way to rectify the idea that these messages have signal (which I agree with) and what the article says is that it’s declaring bankruptcy on additional context. The extra text has so little value it’s worth removing as a rule.

Woah, you can sell it back to them? That’s normally the line that isn’t crossed. You sell it at the store next door (pachinko) or on the open market (trading card games and digital items).

Birthday, zip code and gender is enough to uniquely identify most Americans.

Of course you can still break the law. People are complaining that it's now illegal to do what you suggested

1 it requires DOB

2 it requires DOB to be accurate

It was the companies that were performing well in the stock market. Microsoft and Apple are much older and didn’t have the growth those did.

That jumped out to me because you see it in YouTube videos so much now. I was surprised at the age of this post.

I don’t know if they’ll ever do that. Colors add another dimension, so you either need to have more stock on hand or do more custom models. Right now, the profit margins on all upgrades is huge.

Phones have less configurability, they sell more, and colors seem more important.

True, but c'mon, not even one single other colour!? It's weird to only have more options on the cheaper computers, and by spending more you get less visual personalization. So dull.

I've never owned an iPhone, but if I did, it would be a sweet luxury to be able to colour match the phone to the mac. Orange on orange, orange on purple, purple on green. iPads can do it and they're practically useless e-waste

It’s funny they immediately launched a laptop with color options right after I left that comment, or at least I hadn’t seen it yet.

But, I don’t feel totally corrected since that laptop only has one binary choice besides color. It’s 256GB w/o Touch ID or 512GB w/ Touch ID.

I was looking for an analogy and this is a good one.

The noise to signal ratio seems so bad. You’d have to sift through every little “thought”. If I could record my thought stream would I add it to the commit? Hell no.

Now, a summary of the reasoning, assumptions made and what alternatives were considered? Sure, that makes for a great message.

Heck no. I don't even read the vast majority of the cack that my AI spits out for my own prompts. Why would I inflict that on anyone else?

The other people in the world who aren’t your neighbors are also people.

But no one in their right mind cares more about other people in the world more than about himself and those closest to him.

Seems totally appropriate to the project. It’s like going to a GitHub repo and scrolling to the Readme.
