I don't deny that there are unhealthy habits (playing WoW 24/7 is most definitely unhealthy for the mind and body). My thought is that at the same time : - No hobby is immune to leading to addictive patterns, (some are definitely

There is an objective difference, but there is in my opinion not an "objective" better way to live. (There are certainly healthier ways, in the sense that it optimizes the ages at which you die, which is...good ?). It seems you va

No ^^ Your source says the chewing ice is a known symptom of anemia, but does not say how prevalent this symptom is in anemia-affected people. So from that source you can't conclude that anemia "often" leads to chewing ice,

I'll keep it in mind :-) My context with using english in general (like here on HN) is communicating as a non-native with both native speakers and non-native speakers. For some of those, just reading english is a challenge. Since I als

As a non-native english writer, I found the article quite good. It reminds good practices for clear communication, which I wish everyone applied in my org. Notably around me, people excessively use passive forms. So, you weren't intere

[1] says "Craving and chewing ice (pagophagia) is often associated with iron deficiency,", not what you claimed which is the opposite. As far as I can see, there's no indication on this page as to how frequently iron deficien

We...don't ? The world never "returned" from AIDS for example, but we found ways to mitigate its propagation while a cure is searched. Masks may very well be the new condom I suppose ?

Whao, that's pretty cool ! I'm so curious of the results now ^^

Maybe we're so used to "denominations" meaning the exact opposite or at least something totally unrelated to what the party/group/association/lobby... really is that it's not really shocking anymore.

I'm a little disappointed that the landing page for this challenge itself doesn't seem to be a live a/b test with live results for how much submissions are garnered through the human version of the page versus the gpt-3 one.

I find it a bit funny that the whole discussion seems to be on what definition is better. The two complements each other perfectly, and reading them actually makes both clearer for me. Since there is in the modern world almost no use case w

Decent logging of all changes and error happening on the platform I work on usually lead me to pretty much the following dialog : " - I have a problem, the platform is broken" " - Sure, do you have any rough idea when that ha

After various HN threads about this company, and taking a tour on the element.io website, I'm still not sure what this is about to be honest. I understand it's a chat app, but - The pricing is really confusing (seems like the app

Cloud-like run environments would typically have some network to do. Comparing booting an OS from a local SSD with booting from network-reachable resources isn't really fair due to huge difference in the performance of the "resou

Since a lot of good points have been raised already, I'd though I'd mention something else which have seen happening quite often : Often times development teams are applying all kind of processes and reporting are taken accountab

Well, I've personally contributed to small parts, and never encountered the problem. I don't doubt there are jerks on Wikipedia, but I would also bet that neither the author of this nice github repo or the praised youtuber mention

Well, it's not Wikipedia's fault if people producing intuitive content are not contributing to it. It's not like editors go out of their way to remove nice explanations.

The recent flux of videos of US policemen physically assaulting people making use of their free speech right tends to make me think it's not in fact "that important" in the US to be honest.

To be fair, France still don't fully know what to do with radioactive waste. We're kinda good at recycling it (so, indeed not the horrifying process your [1] describes), but the final non reusable waste is in fact just stored wher

Also, there are actual quite reasonable rules to know which 3rd declension nouns are i-stems, so it doesn't seem too right too just say "follow your gut". Btw, I wouldn't abuse latin comparisons on an american forum, I d

I can confirm that the support on for example displayvideo360 (one of google ad products) is absolutely stellar even for very low revenue players. Meaning live chat with well trained support persons, and quick escalation if needed. Resoluti

No, it's not orwellian at all. There a ton of things you can't ask as payment for your services. It may be physical (let's say body parts), or conceptual (let's say the user freedom of speech). Those things can't be

As usual, someone suggests that _other people_ change their way of life because it's bad, without any impact on himself of course. It's really easy to preach without having any skin in the game isn't it ?

But at least it was added. In the meanwhile, your own article doesn't mention this addition in anyway, because I suppose it weakens your narrative ?
