Nobody was predicting for the dotcom or the financial crisis bubbles. The fact that everyone and their grandma is calling this a bubble makes me think that it simply can’t be.

Well, that and the utterly insane cost (and therefore inflation).

Increased production has always just lead to more stuff being made, not more people unemployed. When even our grandparents were kids a new shirt was something you’d take care of, as you don’t get a new one very often. Now we head on to Tar

Rural America often doesn’t have “zoning laws”. That hasn’t stopped my home price from more than doubling since 2012.

Because getting my mom to use any of those would be a gargantuan task.

Yes, but it's not like we didn't know who the people were that should (maybe) avoid salt and that it didn't matter to anyone else. If she didn't bother to consult with at least one doctor or dietician that's absolu

Why? My mom drove school bus. It allowed her to work a part time job and stay at home with us kids when we were young. The drivers seemed split between people like her and older people that probably already had the right license, and it was

I will never understand why Michelle Obama’s plan included low salt. It’s not like kids have major hypertensive issues.

I just implemented it for a VR app I’ve been working on where the semi-transparent objects can appear any which way, intersecting, etc. I didn’t realize how much of an issue that’d be…or how hard it’d be to come up with a shader for ditheri

I had a similar instruction and in voice mode I had it trying to make a story for a game that my daughter and I were playing where it would occasionally say “3,2,1 go!” or perhaps throw us off and say “3,2,1, snow!” or other rhymes. Long st

No, they just can’t afford it or don’t need it.

ChatGPT is amazing for interpreting test results. Of course you should back it up with a doctor. Back when 3.5 came out I gave it some information about me when I was a teenager on a condition that (multiple) doctors totally misdiagnosed. I

That’s fair. This is totally unsourced now but I did a deep dive quite a while ago now and it seemed to me that studies largely found that statins after a heart attack helped all cause mortality (though not by a ton), but if they were presc

I mean, sure, that definitely makes it easier. But it didn't used to be this way when people had kids, either. People used to get together a lot more frequently.

We have parents nearby and they go there sometimes, but our oldest is quite the handful so we feel bad about doing it too much. She's just...very active, and always wants to play with someone. Always. At least kid #2 is easy. Regar

Some people are far more likely to clear it so quickly they don't test positive: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/jun/immune-response-study-ex... Judging by how badly I got COVID (twice) and how I tend to

~11% of the US population is on antidepressants. I'm not, but I personally know the biggest detriment to my mental health is just how infrequently I'm in social situations. I see my friends perhaps once every few months. We almo

In healthy children the chances of any of that happening are effectively 0, and while vaccine injuries and significant side effects are rare in their case it might actually be more likely. That’s why very few countries other than the US eve

Considering many (most?) countries such as the UK, Germany, Australia, Spain, etc. don’t vaccinate healthy children for COVID because there’s basically no reason to, which presumably the doctor knows, he probably wasn’t disappointed. Having

The fact they have to host large dignitary parties on tents on the lawn is a huge security issue in these days of fiber optic drones. People are complaining because Trump is doing it. Nobody would care - hell, the media would probably excit

My wife and I have actually spent a good deal of time in a couple of street view type apps for the Quest, in multiplayer. It’s fun to “go back” to places we’ve vacationed and try to trace our steps. It’d be better if street view cameras cap

At the risk of getting way too personal for HN, my wife and I couldn’t have sex for a while recently due to medical reasons. For my own sanity, I decided to look at what VR porn was available as I hadn’t checked it out since whenever the Qu

Your immune system learns not to freak out at them, I believe. Every kid I’ve known gets large bumps when they get a bite, though some certainly get worse bumps than others.

And those are wonderful years, when they happen. At least in my location, the deer flies tend to take their place on those years, unfortunately.

I bet we (well, China, at least) will see some lower range but cheaper EVs using sodium batteries pretty much right away. A lot of people would be fine with having something that can only do 100 miles as their daily commute vehicle as long
