wow, this is one of the most pathetic comments I've read on HN. You've clearly stepped beyond your area of knowledge and are trying to cover it with ego.
I feel I am doing right by our community when I say to you: You are not as knowledgeable and important as you think you are.
You sure talk in certain terms. I would think someone claiming to understand the issue at such a more sophisticated level than WSB would know better than to think one can fully understand the situation. Regardless of the outcome, there was a pile of gold to be made with your certainty if there was any credibility to back it up.
Do you have a finance background and relevant expertise, or are you just another armchair critic getting his word in...looking at where the price has moved and arguing "of course it has!". in this case, what makes you any different from those you're condescending?
It's new territory for all of us, why pretend otherwise?
"Purposeful internet outages generally have a distinct network pattern used by NetBlocks to determine and attribute the root cause of an outage, a process known as attribution which follows detection and classification stages."
To me they just drop some silly terms and fail to actually explain anything.
Whilst the ad revenue normally doesn’t even cover the hosting costs of the site - which isn’t even expensive! It does give me the motivation to write more content.
If you want to buy a Pi for a very low price you could even setup pihole: https://pi-hole.net/
There’s nothing misleading when I say I’m not doing this to make a quick buck. I’m really not it’s just a lockdown project as there really isn’t much else to do in my spare time.
Instant "I'm outta here" design. Thanks for speaking up, sometimes I just feel like an old man yelling at kids to get off my web, but this person is managing to nail every one of my pet peeves.
I like keychain, it makes Safari the only browser with password management I trust. Browser dev history has been littered with poor implementations. I want to say Chrome still stores shit unencrypted, but this is just what I recall off the top of my head from reading tech news. I'm no expert, and that's pretty much my point. I trust keychain and don't want to write a phd thesis on how secure the other options are.
I like the ios integration. Other browsers offer this, but it's just another account to worry about - do i trust this company, will they still be around (and still be trustworthy) in ten years? browser history is the most personal thing I do on a computer so this matters a lot to me. (I guess both of these points are just tldr walled garden)
The lack of good adblocking kills it for me. It's too much of a sacrifice, even with a pihole running at home.
Also, as you said, they move slowly. Not just with shiny new tech, but also basic privacy things like if I type "old.reddit.com/r/embarrassingThingsImInto" or whatever, why are they still defaulting to http, and waiting for the web server to decide to upgrade the connection (leaking the initial request)? Why is defaulting to https hidden away in the developer menu? Developers are the only people these days who should be dealing with http anyway, and in those cases there's probably a ".local" at the end they could use to make a determination.
I think it's a fair description to be honest. Granted, it's not some always running process grabbing your keypresses across different programs, but it is still a horrible privacy violation that is operating without most people's understanding.
Accidentally screw up a copy-paste? ctrl-z as quick as you like, it's too late, one of your passwords has been sent out to google...
It's a bit of an impassioned description of the feature, but this is a comment on HN, not some company press release. How neutered do we have to be that we can't make a point with emotion behind it. It's clearly much more hyperbole than "immature" or dishonest, is all I'm saying.
And anyway, none of this matters, because the relevant OP specifically said "speed".
So the plain and obvious conclusion is: False.
