Yeah, Feminism is for Everybody is really fantastic and accessible. I think the online anti-feminist/MRA set would be surprised with how much they agree with hooks.

Raw milk cheese is not banned in the US, in fact it has a specific exemption in the federal law regarding unpasteurized milk. Further, those laws only apply to transportation across states, so you can legally buy raw milk within most (all?)

Did you not change your address and license when you moved states? That's typically required within 30 or 60 days, although a lot of people do ignore those laws.

Better urban planning is not going to fix anything in cities that were constructed several hundred years ago. Plus the solution there seems to always be wider roads and separate bike lanes - once again subsidizing things for traffic at the

Driving in a city with even a basic public transit system is almost always slower than taking the train anyway, so time isn't really a factor. As for comfort, I don't think all the negative externalities of having a car-centric ur

Most American cards are chip and signature, not chip and pin. And they weren't even chip at all until recently.

No, it's really weird for you to refuse to have a regular 1:1 with your direct report because she's a woman. That's creepy and not normal at all.

Not knowing anything beyond your irrational refusal to have meetings with women and your apparent contempt for their careers, I'm inclined to believe the (multiple?!) sexual harassment complaints against you. It's really not norma

Most people in the country live in cities though, so it's not really unreasonable to be surprised that some people never encounter the extremely destitute. Maybe it is you who should leave your bubble of wealthy suburbanites?

What's going on in Venezuela with Bitcoin? From googling, it sounds like a small fraction of the population is setting up mining operations because electricity is subsidized enough to make it profitable. But I'm not finding anythi

This is not propaganda, it's science. Anthropogenic climate change is a factual reality. The polar bear is mentioned in the article as a simple example of species whose habitats are changing because of human actions. It's a bad fa

Even if that's the case, deploying and scaling a Kafka cluster is something that hundreds of companies have figured out and publicly written about. It's something that you can hire an experienced engineer to fix. When this thing

I'm scratching my head about "we dont have money to pay for kafka+zk+monitoring(kafka,zk)". Kafka and Zookeeper are both open source. As are monitoring and alerting tools such as Prometheus. Surely the hosting and storage cos

Maybe your favorite thing. As a urban dweller, I'm a little fed up by subsidizing people living rural lifestyles only to see them have (in some cases) 4 times as powerful a vote as my own. I suspect that if we removed the federal int

We have this system in Boston and it works alright (it's called "The RIDE"). Boston doesn't have great transit by European standards, but it's still better than pretty much everywhere in the U.S. except for New York

There's something pretty rich about asking the government to intervene in a project described as: Tezos is a new decentralized blockchain that governs itself by establishing a true digital commonwealth. Especially one that, according

At the risk of taking this wildly off-topic, how you reconcile the massive failure of low taxes = jobs = more revenue in Kansas state politics over the last few years? Is there something about Kansas that makes that lesson not apply here?

I think there's certainly some interesting ideas happening, but the jury is still very much out on whether cryptocurrencies even have a future. It's been several years now and we have... what? Thousands of memes about never spen

The point is that cloud computing costs are small compared to labor costs, so it's a waste of time to make a 0.005% cost optimization that takes a week of work. I would also love to see some examples of a 2G (!) library that people are

I really like the point about considering cloud computation costs. It would be great if individual developers could get feedback like, "This patch caused X% CPU cost per request, resulting in Y% monthly cost increase to keep projected

I agree, but Metafilter is extremely heavily moderated and there is a (small) cost to get privileges to comment/post. It also has a full time staff managing the community. I don't see either of those things changing on HN =/

It would help if you define "Dapp" and give a few examples of "Dapps" that people might get value from.

Muslims, just like Christians, range from so-secular-they-don't-even-pray to fundamentalists eg Wahhabism. So regardless of the blatant unconstitutionality of such a law, it's also just laughably ignorant to suggest that all Musli

I think the GP comment means prototyping a product idea to a real market. Obviously individual developers will run a local version of the production systems.

Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it isn't useful. For a trivial example, I often use calculus to measure rate of change of telemetry of production systems, and that's just as a simple developer measuring

It's clear from your comment that you read the article, but I'm very confused about how you ended up with the conclusion that the situation is fine and people are overreacting. I don't know what else to say to this, I hope yo

They work in the sense that you can predictably purchase customers and users. I don't know what you mean by treading water. People who buy these ads do it because it's profitable, not because they trying to keep up with some compe

I don't think that distinction is meaningful. The digital ad market is frighteningly sophisticated and coldly logical. You are shown ads for things that optimize what you're likely to buy/click multiplied by how much the ad b
