There's nothing factually wrong with your opinion. I understand it and respect it. For me, I believe that platforms as massive and widespread as Facebook or Twitter distort the free-market ruleset, and that some amount of regulation

That is a strawman argument. Re-read the article, this does NOT say everything is protected. Rather, it is clarifying what is protected and what is not.

This was the accepted scientific understanding circa 1900. Interestingly enough, this was used by early activists to argue that global warming is a real phenomenon. The logic went: since people indigenous to tropics cannot have advanced c

I agree. I was pursuing an SRE position at Google but their interview prep material was a lot of nitty-gritty "What does it mean when this syscall returns this integer?" questions that I didn't consider worth memorizing. In

It's a halo product for their am4 platform. I've heard people recommend midrange Intel cpus over equivalent Amd parts because you could upgrade to a top-of-the-line cpu later on that platform, but you couldn't go higher on R

In case you haven't realized you can buy comparable 1TB NVMe SSDs in today's market for around $100. I see the budget Intel 660p hit $80 for 1TB on sale, or high-end Phison E12 drives at $115 for 1TB on sale.

As I understand it, the distribution was decided when the earth was still hot. So the mechanics you're interested in are those of high-temperature solutions containing liquid gold, which I don't understand that much. There'

About a year ago, there were a lot of topical submissions to HN (that I liked reading) but received community backlash, because they consisted almost entirely of posting tweets (of Trump et al) about the current political situation. The co

Well, hello from Saturday! I'm glad you're reasonable and not a troll like I feared. I think the post you made was inflammatory for 2 reasons: 1) It was short and didn't explain your position well. I'm sure it made pe

I could argue that I am talking about US taxes. The overall discussion (beyond this news article) is entirely about US taxes, I live in the US, and most bait posts like the one I responded to are also American in origin. I'd rather be

The same way we morally justify taxing people to pave highways: it helps. Also, you misspoke, it's not 70% of someone's income, it's 70% of income over $10 million. The first $10 million isn't being seized, you'll

I'm confused by your comment, would you care to elaborate? Your anecdote has you moving from (the article's) rank 41 in quality to rank 6. You comment that the rank 6 state is much better than the rank 41 in education quality.
