I don't think the founders could account for international influence in the age of the Internet and smart phones. No one is asking for a great wall around the US. People are just asking that major influencers are not under the control

The U.S. has not been providing wonder weapons to Ukraine. It has been providing bullets, artillery shells, and Bradley fighting vehicles(which are pretty amazing, but are not new tech). I would agree that the military like their new toys,

Street sweepers actually do pick up the debris, not just deposit it in the gutter. At least here in Atlanta they do.

I had the same experience, twice as much for a heat pump as a traditional gas/electric AC here in Atlanta GA. Got quotes for multiple companies, then on a whim I talked to the guy at Costco who stands by the door on the way out. Turned

I have a dual up from LG and it is the greatest coding monitor ever made! In Intellij and VSCode, I can see project outline, 120 columns of code, and DB details all on the same screen. I use it as a side monitor, with main monitor being a D

I hear he feels trapped, being a parent, and a responsible adult can do that to you. However, I raised two children, spent hours reading to them every night, feeding them at 1 am so that they would sleep in until 7 am. But there were four g

In the mid 90s slashdot was the hot place. Just because most people had no idea how to get to a place called slash dot dot com! Lasted for a few years. I agree it is community that makes a space. And HN has been holding on to their for quit

That was an awesome story! I think I had read it 40 years ago, but in an age where AGI is close to real.... its thought provoking.

Hm.. Interesting question. It felt like it one doctor pronounced it, others would follow suit, but I can see I was mistaken there. However, it seems like there are two options, surgery, and physical therapy. Maybe I should have given the PT

Some chiropractors are amazing, most are questionable. I was in a motorcycle accident, one leg is now shorter than the other. I used to hike a lot, but back pain grew worse and worse. Went to an orthopedic doctor, he literally said "th
