I wanted to reply like what is below but got cold feet. But thanks.

>>> Facebook introduced .. ppl to xyz topics ..
I possibly belong to this set. Could it be that this goes way back when people got hold of religous text and learn to read it and discuss about it?

Enjoyed the post.
I shop at Costco for
- wine, single malt, brandy, cheese, and bread
- sea food, mutton, sardines, tuna, canned stuff, tomato and citrus fruits
- dog food and bird feed
And of course their food court pizza + hot dogs
Great place.

>> rc cola .. blah blah
Genuine question. Did rc-cola make claim that it is same/close as real cola ? Seem more like taste issue than durian-2-durian compare.
Itching to buy a system76 64gb laptop and let go of mbp (good), and the idiotic lenevo and thinkpad (32gb duds.)
disclaimer — I work mostly console.

Commuting to work? Couldn’t resist. Sorry.
thethought | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: What do you want from the news?
For topics france24.com seem
reasonable for me. I’m interested
mostly international topics.
Clear title and short description no bias listed vertical I prefer.
Wish there is (like reader view) a browser built-in for view facts, opinions, what others are saying —- as researched expressed by the author of each article.

Went with Nature. Thank you.
thethought | 4 years ago | on: The unreasonable effectiveness of one-on-ones
Seems asymmetrical the way it’s phrased.
Did you simply mean to say both fucked up?
thethought | 4 years ago | on: A foreign seller has hijacked my Amazon Klein bottle listing
Sleazy company hijacked Cliff Stoll’s Amazon Klein bottle listing.
To me “foreign seller” implies Amazon sellers/buyers has some sort of national context?
Note: I do feel bad hijacking happens in Amazon.

There was also OLE before ActiveX/COM and later DCOM. But the DLL’s were always a constant.

>>> atrophy
Have you consider team atrophy as a pre-existing/chronic condition which maynot have cure?
thethought | 4 years ago | on: Nonnative English speakers share their gripes about speaking English
Thank you for this. I did try a few combinations and it does sound funny in my head. Wondering how this ordering evolved for a non-native speaker like me. I did not hear or know about this rule.

The NIL concept mentioned in the article is new and interesting to me. Who has issue/rights over the individual college athl. NFT?
thethought | 5 years ago | on: 'Fake' Amazon workers defend company on Twitter
An alt-side is never ending pleasure of closing laptop at the bell .. in anticipation of bbq, wine, family, and friends. Knowing fully well it’s ephemeral. IMO there is no doom and gloom in this view.

I unerstood your frustration. But can bribe be fair based on it’s potential to offer better experience — just for educated people ?

>>> employees need to be fired... but sometimes management also needs restructuring
Don’t get the asymmetry. Why no firing for mgmt?
thethought | 5 years ago | on: Journalism, particularly at the highest level, is about raw power
Expanding on (1) with few more ideas.
- Use social media personalities to present and spread news
- Informecials as a medium
- Run adwords
