There's a difference between self-defence and retaliation. At the end of the day it's civilians who pay the price. If the Ukraine strike Russian territory and inflict, pain or death on their citizens then Putin gains a lot more su

My old manager used to spreadsheet my KPIs/goals and add notes to it for my grievances/questions. So, each time we'd score the KPIs to see my progress, and check up on the status of all the questions, clearing out any resolve

On the surface I agree with you. I don't want to see HN be taken over by culture war stuff or by reddit drama posts. However, the 'hacker' angle of HN, with regards to the subject of working towards success, or 'hacking

tl;dr - Fox News targeted a very poor representation of the anti work movement and interviewed them live. The subreddit for the movement hated it, got shut down by its own mod team temporarily, and now a new subreddit is trying to replace i

The author falls into the trap of viewing the internet as the same monolith they were used to when they were younger. In fact it was a mass of subcultures back then as it is now, just far larger and more varied now. They had tunnel vision t

Forgive me if I'm going down the wrong path here but it sounds like you're looking for advice to make connections last beyond initial meetings, or even to socialise with people you see often but only in groups. If that's the

This kind of sensationalist, non-tech news really isn't right for Hacker News.

Nobody can predict what will confuse or annoy their audience. True that people will try not to go out of their way to confuse or annoy their audience. If gender neutral pronouns confuse or annoy people I really don't think that's

Great example of making a ridiculous argument, a type of logical fallacy. What you've done here is make what you're saying incomprehensible to others. Whereas you still knew my meaning when I used 'they'. For some reason

I'm invoking their gender, needlessly. A mark of 'good' English is a lack of unnecessary detail - or so I've heard. I don't remark on Atwood's age, or skin colour when referring to them. Why invoke their sex or

Didn't bend over backwards - was quite easy to use neutral terminology when the sex or gender of a person is irrelevant to the point being made. 'Normal English' doesn't exist as a stable point that can be reliably refer

Bit of a hypocrite aren't you? You thought I was 'erasing women' by using 'they'.

"First of all, I’m pretty sure Atwood is an actual human individual author, and not one of these author committees with a collective pen name. Or are you on board with the erasure of women that is the subject of this piece?" What

Considering that Atwood recently claimed to have interviewed George Orwell by way of a medium - I'd say they're not a great person to look to for thought leadership. Unless they were joking, hard to read internet comments and all

You could say it proves that our worry about the climate has led to improvements in our response to climate-related dangers. But it says nothing about our ability to respond to future, observably accelerating, climate dangers. It's an

Yeah. Absolute nonsense from the author. Takes an example of a people taking positive action because they were worried about climate change and then tells us not to worry because 'humans will adapt', completely missing the point t

Just get a medical exemption from your health provider then. Most, if not all, employers should accept that.

Interesting read though ultimately a poor argument. It all hinges on historical observations of circumstances and contexts that no longer exist. There are no universal rules here and no objective causal relationships between any of the valu

Is the save function supposed to save the current time tracked on each task? Currently it only seems to save the names of the tasks. All time is wiped on refresh - a little frustrating if the tab is accidentally closed or machine restarted.
