Yes, that is exactly the same logic the VA uses to deny claims to people who did in fact get diabetes from Agent Orange exposure. Looks like you have a bright future in claims adjustment! ;-) Edit: There's plenty of evidence connecting

Am a military veteran. While I know there's plenty of grift on this front, I'd like to point out that you have to become extremely adept at gaming the system even if you have a legitimate injury/disability. The games the

It's bonkers to me how the whole hardware/software world seems to miss the actual best feature of e-ink: it's visible in sunlight. It chaps my ass every day that it's only possible to sit in a semi-dark room if for my wo

I'm an experienced nontechnical cofounder. Good advice in this thread so far but I wanted to weigh in with a verrrry clichéd pointer: that a lot of friction around expectation management, program management, resource management, etc. g

PFAS afaik are used in the process of making teflon pans, namely in getting the teflon to stay attached to the pan's metal itself.

"Bidenomics is working, and the clean energy transformation is creating good jobs in every pocket of America" This is propaganda, not news.

Site guidelines also say "assume good faith". My comment is on how absurd the situation is, not a dig at any HN users.

Greenwashing. $400M is about what AMZN spent on the totally-unwanted LOTR reboot.

Probably depends on your risk profile. Do we find new ways to safely generate energy using nuclear, or slowly cook ourselves alive on the planet's surface? Or to put it another way, at what point should we throw a Hail Mary in the ener

I'm no engineer, but it sure seems to me like you could either split things up into multiple launches, or potentially manufacture the fuel in orbit, no?

I won't be publishing any of my writing publicly until there's a way to insure it isn't being used by some tech bro to pump the valuation of a company designed to replace me.

Also don't you have to prove damages in cases like these?

Thanks for your response, but as you can see in the comments even HN users are confused about this. Where can we find the ability to 'switch off' any sort of generative AI features or data harvesting? I ask because the zoom admini

I have no quantitative data either way, but anecdotally people are late but will usually just tell you if they can/can't make it, as opposed to the 'yes means no' out west.

I think you might be right about this; it's way easier to party – and indulge – when you can take a cheap cab or the subway from LES to UWS.

I loved the Bay Area when we lived there for the outdoors, the food, and the varied terrain, like this article outlines. But I hated the Bay Area for the people. Not that anyone was particularly nasty or mean, they were just flaky . The nu

I've been working on a solution for this, have pitched a handful of investors and every time I'm met with blank stares, probably because what I'm proposing would cut into their own dividends. I know this comment will get lost

I think it's awesome we live in an age where people are, for the most part, able to free their minds from the banal realities of survival, and fret about reading too much or 'for the wrong reasons'.

Oh I think the role of the 'jester' is super-important; humor (and music!) is an incredible carrier medium for cultural commentary. And I hate tone policing. I just think Cory Doctorow should grow the hell up. I've been rea

Simply examine at the thinkers who do make headway with their ideas, and emulate their methodologies.
