I’ve had to leave a job because of office noise. Fuck the architects who sell open plan ostensibly in the name of collaboration. Even more so when it comes to housing actual scientists. By the way, striking resemblance of the design of insi

A couple of interesting facts related to the article: 1. The arabic word "finjan" adapted to "fincan" in Turkish means cup, as in the type of vessel used for any type of coffee, not only kahve. The "fincan" may

“De-platforming” and “safe spaces” exist and have been wielded against people who go against existing dogmas and codes of conduct. It is right to be worried about such things. Look at what happened to RMS. He even has a whole section on wha

Recreational vehicles as in RVs? They don't use compressor fridges? Is it because the Einstein ones are lighter?

It would be interesting to know the practicality of this fridge and its efficiency in relation to more conventional fridges.

I am not convinced by the interest charging analogy. It is back to front. The yearly interest is by definition the total interest that would be paid given the already agreed charging period. The loan shark does not advertise a 100% yearly i

The concepts of "better" and "suffering" are a matter of opinion, as you have agreed. I eat meat because that is acceptable to me and also because supermarkets still sell it. Who am I to claim what people objectively sho

The reasoning also necessarily falls back on experience. Personal experience is all we have. You’re admitting that your estimation is subjective. Why are you so worried about others eating animals, then? Because a lot of other people now ar

Rights are not a priori truths. They are a human creation, a game of language. Just like gods, reincarnation, gender pronouns and mythology. What makes you so sure that you and your dog have a right not to be killed for food?

According to Wikipedia, Hindus wear red dots (bindi) on their forehead to retain energy and strengthen concentration. Might be worth trying during another all-night coding session.

He gave one example of where following news that directly affects your livelihood is useful. This is one of the reasons I’m on HN. The incessant NYTimes, Guardian and medium.com brain rot really do push me away though.

I have a large set of American Apparel Hammer t-shirts that I bought about five years ago. I wear them every day. I bought a few more once I heard they were going to the dogs, but the quality had dropped dramatically. It's a big shame
