Are you saying that it’s logical, or sane, to demolish a brand new building, built to spec, because the bureaucratic stamps took place out of order?

Note these are not the same as "murder hornets" (Vespa mandarinia) we heard about often in the news back during the pandemic, these are a close cousin called Vespa Velutina.

Yeah it's amazing from a Computer Science perspective, these are problems that have been unsolved for the entire duration of the field's existence.

I love the square brackets. I find them aesthetically pleasing for some reason.

As a tangent, there is a really cool scene on YouTube and X of people 3D printing guns. Some folks are even making their own ammunition. There is a lot of innovation in the space by backyard hackers and it's pretty fun to watch. Most o

You are welcome to radically degrow yourself, but as soon as you start talking about degrowing other people you are not going to end up in a good place.

He said that he would get verbal agreement to sleep together before buying drinks. How is getting consent to have sex and then later having sex equivalent to stabbing a friend in the back? I don’t understand the analogy. Unless you think on

He specifically says in the paragraph OP is quoting from that he would ask them outright for verbal agreement that they would sleep with him later before he bought them drinks. If he got consent before anyone drank anything, what exactly is

Anything sounds bad if you take sentences out of context. Read the rest of chapter and pages leading up to this part. He talks about how he struggled getting back into dating after his wife died and initially he tried dating very chivalrous

I've read a lot about Feynman and have never read that. Would love to see a source.

He didn't do anything wrong, you can read his book where he talks about his dating life in great detail. He was just successful at flirting. Our puritanical culture just doesn't like it.

I mostly agree with you, but sometimes it's not "not likely to lead to productive discussion", but instead just "I disagree with you". Which I do wish we had less of.

I agree there are things to be wary of, all new tech is a double edged sword. But the pro’s obviously outweigh the cons in the same way the internet and smart phones have. You’ll find very few people who will say they would prefer to live i

If you’ve ever built anything you know that the only way anything gets built is with iteration. There are very few examples in history where something new got built and was a perfect finished product v1. The way we build new things is makin

The US government has literally unlimited money, like they can print as much as they want. They can just put up their own satellite network and use it to wage wars on the other side of the world. Why is it the responsibility of a private en

You can't create a Star Trek economy without advanced technology like replicators and AGI, not to mention space ships. This is how we get to that future, by letting people build the technology and profit from it. They are using the pro

I think perhaps the fact that you refer to advanced satellites, some of the most advanced and scientifically interesting objects humans have ever produced, as "junk" maybe reveals some personal bias. It sucks that propaganda is pr

At my wife’s clinic they have shelters that pay for the procedure on condition of taking the animal. Like there is a shelter in the city that will pay for medical bill and take the dog. I do sort of see the logic. Part of responsible pet ow

Everyone in my neighborhood pays $120/month for it, myself included. It was an absolute game changer. Honestly I think most people in my neighborhood would pay even more for it. It's so much better than the options it replaced. I

You can do this a few times, and sometimes they do actually just do the procedure for free and the owner gets to keep the animal. But it does not scale. As soon as it becomes a rule then it becomes abused. One thing you realize quickly when

This is an unpopular opinion, but I think Hacker News would be a worse experience with link previews. One of the best things about this site, ui-wise, is that it feels "focused". The focus is not on the links posted but on the tex
