For some people perhaps. For me personally, I find some sites purposefully interject their 'agenda', either left or right into their journalism to the detriment of the piece. You're not going to a get a truely subjective view on things anywhere but some places are skewed to the point that you can't tell if vital information is being witheld or under reported.

I think they were referring to the actual Nazis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_and_the_Holocaust

wtf I had no idea IBM was that old.

Absolutely we should. But this one isn't FOSS.

Why have you sent me the licence page for Monosketch? I'm commenting on comment about Monodraw...

I would assume they sent that because they were suggesting to support FOSS over closed-source software.

*before it was open sourced.

That why I love the git-backed notebook format. You can add clarity and explain what it's doing and how it translates into code.

Thank you! Anything we can do better ?

"Again, I get the danger here..."

Haha, wtf. You don't.

Well they're not friendly then are they? It's an act to get a tip - and if you don't you get chased down the street.

It's a different social contract. It's not just the waitress, it's service in general. One trying to judge the other is never quite going to work because it rubs us wrong in some weird internal way.

Eg go into a big store brand in most of the US and the cashier will be all flashy smile asking how is your day, and you ignore it and ask your request, and that's the game. A french person would mostly hate that, feel the question as annoying.

You go to a similar french store and the cashier and yourself will say the bonjour / merci / ... yada yada game and if someone doesn't do his part he's considered rude; I found a lot of foreigner surprised by that, the fact that you're not answering "merci" or asking "s'il vous plait" because it's nice, but because not doing it puts you in unpleasant person territory.

Ok business meeting, even in tech. American are always super optimist and happy, and seeing a solution and the end goal, French are over realist bordering on pessimist.

It's not that black and white of course there is a lot of inter mingling and differences, but overall which one you feel "better" is very personnal and based around what you're used to.

EV cars are mostly just appliances now. Not sure how the prestigious Porsche badge (or any other really) can stand out into the future.

Not sure if you have been into an appliance shop lately, but for any given appliance there are options in every price bracket.

According to (enthusiast) car magazines, Porsche BEVs are still better at being Porsches than most of the competition.

In Doug Demuro's list 4 out of top 6 are EVs. Porsche appears at #17. Incidentally it's an EV.

Making things that...track better than an appliance.

Are they? I thought you couldn't delete your comments on here?

You can, but only briefly. HN gives you a short “oops window” to delete comments. Officially it’s for typos. Unofficially it’s a dignity rollback mechanism for people who realized mid-thread that they don’t actually understand what they’re talking about.

To be fair, i appreciate both types of deletions. If somebody feels they were just adding noise, Im very happy if they can reduce that noise.

I confess to using it under both circumstances at times.

Sometimes you think you know…

Same, I’ve made dumb comments and repented before. Better than not repenting.

Eh, even when I understand what I'm talking about, sometimes I submit a comment and then instantly realize "you know what, I actually don't want to debate this with a random stranger on the Internet".

I don't understand every comment as an invitation to debate. You can just not respond to people if you don't want to.

The point is that sometimes I only realize I don't want to after I hit the "reply" button!

People will never admit they don't know what they're talking about.

I don’t know what you’re talking about… ;)

You are allowed to delete your comments for a short time, as long as no comments are posted in response.

I'm not sure what happens with down votes on a deleted comment.

Downvotes on a comment have already affected your total karma score. Deleting the comment doesn't undo the karma loss. However, you have a chance to avoid further karma loss if you decide to delete the comment shortly after it starts getting negative reactions. (I have done this when I realized that my comment was getting downvoted for snark.)

I have deleted in the past, and saw my score immediately jump, but perhaps I was being upvoted elsewhere.

Or maybe it was the tooth fairy.

No idea.

I think this is one of the "worst" features of HN.

Ephemerality and forgetting are important for society and we need more of it.

I'd really like to see someone from the EU push for GDPR Right to Forget, or CCPA.

You can nuke your account by doing something completely egregious like challenging someone here to a duel (it's happened! - account and all post history deleted - we don't see the -deleted-- placeholder as much as we used to)

Wait until you hear about what the early pioneers of the electronic device you're using right now used to think... And do.

You gonna throw your computer away?

My concern is that man, not the many people who work in the corporations who make the computing devices that I use. It's not exactly that those corporations have an unblemished record, but compared to what that guy did during his brief utterly ruinous stint with DOGE and in his election support of that other guy, there isn't a computing device company that doesn't look like St Francis of Assissi.
