- SUVs and hatchbacks have a truck accessible latch to fold the rear seats, so you can get into the front.
- I wish people would understand how common this is. There's no customer service line you can call when some overseas moderation farm worker spends 0.8 seconds looking at something and taps the hotkey for one of the reasons in their terms of service that they deem an account should be permanently wiped for. Have some recourse. Buy a NAS that will do automatic backups of all your cloud accounts. Long ago I lost a decade of Gmail and GDrive because I posted a PNG file of a credit‑card form that said "This post only viewable with Google+ Gold." You need to be treating these accounts as ephemeral.
- A Synology NAS is very low wattage. In a year, it saves enough electricity to pay for itself, compared to leaving my old PC on 24/7.
- I think if taxpayers were allowed to freely vote for what percentage of their tax dollars went toward, for funsies, I think bait and sting operations would be toward the top of the list. Bait copper, bait bikes, bait suitcases in back seats of cars. Heck, they could probably make a YouTube channel out of it and pay for itself.
- It commented below. It's interesting that it says [dead] and not [flagged] [dead]. My guess is it's a shadowban.
Update: Found this on wikipedias shadowban article: "A 2012 update to Hacker News introduced a system of "hellbanning" for spamming and abusive behavior."

- Thanks for finding a steel‑man way to interpret it. That is such a bizarre narrative choice I didn't even consider it. So they used that arrow notation consistantly to refer to the headings, representing the order of magnitude of money, the entire article, which was a great idea. Then for some baffling and unknowable reason, they decided to inform us that a count of people can also be expressed as a power of ten using the same notation.
- Yeah you get "Like and Subscribe!" or "Thank you." or even chinese back from the API if you send pure silence (or I guess it's white noise to the model once its volume normalized). I think humans hallucinate in white noise or sensory deprivation too, maybe it's related.
- I mean the quotes contradict each other, is $1M HNWI threshold ↑6 or is it ↑7?
- Is ↑7 a typo?
"A person with lower ↑6 wealth is a “high-net-worth individual” (HNWI, $1m)"
"About 16 million people (↑7) are designated as HNWI."
- so you're asking for $50 for a fork of a free app, on the premise that you're "going to" add to it
- Okay, but have you used the large Whisper model? Sure, voice typing has been around for 10 or 20 years. And it's great if you have a good mic and enunciate, but these new models are insane. You can just mumble something from across an entire room, with peanut butter in your mouth, and it won't miss a single word.
- 'Up to 15 or 20' is the exact same thing as 'Up to 20'
- Calling it a transparent computer monitor makes it sound like it's new technology, when in reality it just a run of the mill teleprompter half-mirror above a run of the mill computer monitor.
- >topic is literal video of a person looking at camera phone and loud thud
>HN commenter who only read the headline squabbles over correlation vs causation
its all so wearisome
- "Risk of Physical Harm" is the kind of reason Tony Soprano would say
- I find this comment non-sequitur. We may have a mismatched understanding of how options work.
