Counter: Unity's prior price (as opposed to value) increase was mostly (solely?) due to market conditions. They barely get more than a billion/year in revenue while burning over half that amount. Paying nearly $20B for that is a h

Kurzgesagt's short video is great too, it's (quasi-)verbatim, but the music, animation and narration makes it quite poignant. The idea behind the story is quite fascinating to me. If simulationists are right, it's as good or

It's really common, AFAIK, in psychiatry. Try this try that, gotta "find the molecule that works for you, we're all different". I believe that is a common occurrence. In my experience when my general practitioner wanted

Didn't 2.5% of US's GDP go into that for 10 years? The guy's optimism is laudable but it's fair to be skeptical it'll just take 5-6 years.

Specifically for search, might as well use hn.algolia.com than figure out how to use HN's hidden(ish) API.

How much does network effect really matter past a certain point for low-to-mid ELO chess players? Whether there are 100 or 10k players in my ELO range at any given time, I'm unlikely to even notice it. IMO you just have to get past a c

Thoughts on introducing some kind of popularity/rank sort? I.e., number of on-site downloads, off-site citations or some book-equivalent-IMDB. Is it a conscious choice not to have one or just feature prioritization? The site looks love
