It doesn't sound that far-fetched. The stalker probably told her that he was planning to join her company and meet her, which gave her enough information to find his name. Once she had his name, she could find his profile on social media and see who his friends were.
> An autocratic one may use them when the leader is close to defeat as one last "f*ck you"
I don't think that could realistically work. The suicidal leader would need buy-in not only from the military command, but also from the numerous operators responsible for preparing and conducting the launches. Everyone involved would be presented wiath a choice between signing death sentenses for themselves and their loved ones or trying their luck with whatever enemy they were facing.
I think it's more of a link with a nice title getting 700+ upvotes. IMO many (and most non-tech) articles linked on HN are bad and most of their value lies in them being a conversation starter.
Yeah I think this is right. I want to read an HN conversation about solar in Africa, and all the interesting anecdotes that come out of the woodwork. Valuable even if the article itself is mediocre.
I wanted to write, 'They have to load the entire catalogue for a category, including all the images. What did you expect?' However, having looked into it a bit more, it seems that they didn't particularly care about optimising load times.
Not a native speaker, but to me it reads as canned or AI generated response that acknowledges nothing in the post besides there being some kind of tiny disagreement. I don't see how "I'm sorry for how you feel about this" can be inteprented as anything other than "I'm not at fault, and I'm sorry I'll have to spend time pacifying you".
> I genuinely don't understand why people don't get more upset over hitting refresh on a webpage and ending up in a significantly different place.
I'm in the opposite camp - I find it extremely annoying when sites clutter up the browser history with unnecesarly granular state. E.g. hitting "back" button closes a modal instead of taking me to the previous page.
Adhering to a narrow definition of a "professional" look signifies immaturity, stemming from a desire for approval from a stereotypically "adult" third party. Personally, I wouldn't take seriously anyone who has a problem with Anubis but doesn't blink when presented with people drawn in the corporate Memphis style.

I'm not looking for anyone's approval. If I was, I wouldn't be publicly disagreeing with people on an internet forum, would I? Relax with your armchair psychology.

Whole countries of comparable size to the US happily put similar mascots all over their products, and pay other companies big money to use their characters. They're all over busses and billboards. The Korean ramen brand I buy has Kpop Demon Hunters on it now. (And Buldak usually has their little chicken dude.) Casio and Fender have expensive products with Hatsune Miku on them...which has been used in ad campaigns by petroleum and rail companies in Japan.
American corporate culture is dehumanizing and dystopian, not a standard for professionalism.
Anime will not disappear if CR implodes. It will still be funded by the Japanese market and other streamers. There will probably be fewer shows per season for a while, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
And sometimes it's more fun when there's no central source. Snarky chapter titles and leaving in a commercial for Morning Rescue when editing down the TV rip? Sure, why not.
