A couple reasons I can think of: - The less logic you do on the client means more data required to be sent over the wire. - Connections are getting faster but we aren't at the point where they're negligible. For example, if I ne

Fortunately Vitamin D supplements are a safe and effective way to get the recommended amount. UV exposure is the most preventable cause of skin cancer[1] and not worth the risk. EDIT Forgot my link: 1. https://www.hhs.gov/si

I hate to break it to you, but every economic scenario is a zero-sum game. In order for an economy to work you have to have a relatively fixed amount of resources. This whole win-win ideology is mostly a tool to erase where the losers are,

Ditto. Anecdotally winter 2020 was the healthiest I've had in years. It became a personal expectation for me that I would be vaguely sick from November to March which was not the case in 2020.

I would argue that this has always been the case, it has never been uncommon to be fired for political activities done outside of work. Perhaps you're only noticing it now that people who think and act like you are experiencing it?

The opposite of this _sort of_ exists in the ICSID[1] where investors or companies can sue governments for losses caused by those governments enforcement of their laws. For example when tobacco major Philip Morris sued Uruguay for alleged b

As someone who was raised in a religious home who no longer attends any church I think it's less to do with not answering questions and more to do with a hostile rejection of religion generally. It wasn't until I had children of m

I think the general discourse around high profile account banning raises some interesting questions. I've seen a lot of people in my (generally liberal) social bubble carry the line that Twitter, as a private corporation, has the right

That sounds similar to English and German. There are a few words that are still somewhat connected, like water / wasser, but knowing one gives little insight into the other.

Is that not the entire point of society? I sacrifice some of my independence so that I can enjoy the infrastructure of civilization? None of us are an island.

The problem I am having is that articles like this make it to the front page of HN while not providing any sources of their own. We've seen a sharp uptick in anti-Chinese rhetoric over the last couple of years and most of it seems to b

On a similar note, as a US citizen I am more concerned with what data the US Government or US companies have on me than anything the CCP might have on me. This might be naive but it seems like we have a much bigger privacy problem in the US

A couple good reasons I can think of off the top of my head is that vim is easy to get up and running in headless environments, even with all of the bells and whistles of a modern text editor or IDE. Another reason is that I really enjoy th

This is a unique idea, that feels to be mostly semantic. Ok, you don't want to call it theft, but does that change the justice of the situation? America conquered a series of less developed nations of people through sometimes dubious m
