This is a random aside but somewhere I have some slightly obscure early 2000s anime with fan subs, and in one of them they accidentally left an additional “working notes” subtitle track that I find fascinating. It basically has all the litt

As someone who never went to college: one thing I know I’m missing is knowing patterns and the commensurate pattern matching. What you describe perfectly illustrates this. Knowing what are effectively standard tools, best approaches to know

Why is the title of the post here on HN so substantially different from the actual press release? The HN post tries to make it personal, claiming an individual is doing it, while the press release (correctly) refers to the companies. That s

No, he didn’t. What he was referring to was combining finished products to create new dishes. Not using pre mix products.

The ignorance on display in this post is truly breathtaking. I’m impressed something can be this wrong.

Corollary: every message queue can be a database if you use it wrongly enough.

So they surveyed a few hundred people and that’s supposed to justify an academic paper? In a formerly prestigious journal (emphasis on the former - if you need evidence that it’s been co-opted by activists take a look at its home page).

So to be clear you would consider UBI a success if the only detectable change in metrics is simple arithmetic in the form of “we gave them money and then they had more money”? I’m sorry to sound snarky but I’m struggling to read this commen

Plastics are one of the greatest modern inventions today. It’s saved literally millions of lives and makes possible countless things in manufacturing that previously literally could not exist. It’s probably the single greatest contributor t

It frustrates me that the article doesn’t credit him by name. His art was absolutely iconic, even in a sea of other “chrome-tastic” illustrations. Dude was an absolute master of airbrushed chrome aesthetic.

Anecdotal but my UK friends ere blindsided by this too, at least a number of them who are otherwise quite clued in. They said they felt like they had no idea this was coming at all.

How do you propose a system to be effective that proves you are over a particular age but also does not prove that you are you? In other words I don’t see a way to solve the problem of needing both proof of identity and proof of age to acco

This excuse is so tiresome. Generations before you lived through far worse than whatever supposed hell you doom scrolled your way into believing. The world is literally better than it’s ever been. Go experience it instead of complaining abo

“Tipping is a thing of the past” is just a completely false statement, given it’s the norm in the most economically powerful country in the world and not at all u heard of elsewhere (food delivery in many countries, high end restaurants in

The replies to this comment remind me that the supposed unavoidable law of induced demand evaporates pretty quickly amongst urbanists when talking about things they want to build. At the risk of sounding really snarky, “just one more line b

Slaves are not paid wages. There’s no need to resort to hyperbole here, the practices are abhorrent enough without it.

Can you explain what the benefit is of giving “people” more options (putting people in quotes because they could be current residents, it could be visitors, it could be hypothetical would-residents, it could be people in Alaska - I don’t kn

I am 100% of the opinion that it’s (2), in no small part because the writers themselves say as much frequently and vociferously at every opportunity. This isn’t reading some hidden meaning, this is just listening to what they say when they’

This is just absolute total nonsense. Normal people do own real estate. Lots of people rented back then and do now. Friends were “far away” back then too, they took their cars, bummed rides, took buses, whatever. Where do they sleep? Where

What you will get in a comment thread like this is wild speculative climate doomerism along with sarcastic remarks about how humans are ruining the planet. This is not the place for hard facts.

I feel compelled to once again ask the only mildly rhetorical question: “If Trump was actually acting under directives from Russia what would his administration be doing differently?”

I go to sci fi cons and telegram has become the de facto method of coordination for everything. Party, meal, event we all want to attend, any kind of meetup we create a channel for it to be used ephemerally and invite everyone who’s going.

Not trying to be a mindless skeptic but your “why is it so hard” question seems bizarre to me. It seems quite understandable that it’s hard for people to believe there’s a particle responsible for a significant percentage of all matter in t

This is a pet peeve of mine: yes there are unskilled jobs. Lots of them. The term is maybe slightly misleading, but there absolutely is a class of jobs that any able-bodied person could perform given at most a few hours or a few days of tra

Income inequality is perforce a problem from a socialist worldview. So yes, for the sort of people who abhor capitalism, all income inequality (and class inequality) is bad.

You’re essentially just claiming price gouging without saying as much because otherwise the economies of scale would not exist (which anyone with any knowledge of how the economy works knows does in fact exist). “Smaller number of larger pl

As I’ve gotten older and more moderate in my political leanings I’ve unsurprisingly revisited some of my earlier absolute positions (usually but not always very liberal) in light of real world considerations. Encryption and communications p

I’m not sure how many people realize the number of great sci-fi stories that started as anthologies in these magazines. It’s a foundation of the entire genre that often goes entirely unappreciated.

I find interesting that the slow fading of physical media is one thing sci fi has gotten wrong for the last hundred years or so. Even the most futuristic visions involved some kind of physical media and/or connection.
