As someone who knows a lot of New Yorkers and Texans, it's definitely curious that people would refer to themselves as from a city versus from the country itself.

> The average American thinks the U.S is the best country in the world. If it wasn't, then why would the American school system teach American students that it is?

From the HN guidelines: > Please don't use uppercase for emphasis. If you want to emphasize a word or phrase, put asterisks around it and it will get italicized.

In some ways the rest of the world's McDonald's are simply plummeting to the low quality of those in the US.

One could say this is where the free market of schooling comes into play. Does it make more economic sense for businesses to choose those with social skills learnt from home schooling, or ones who have not been home schooled? Definitely cur

The problem is that Cybertruck drivers are likely to have a boisterous driving style which may skew the results - what other kind of personality would purchase a vehicle that is less practical than other trucks, less practical than other EV

I'm not 100% sure - there's quite a few YC founders who have been on the Forbes 30 under 30. As we're commenting on one of their sites, I feel obligated to point out how great it is as an accelerator as well!

Not entirely sure comparing an administrative error to burning someone's house down (how do you even know they live in a house?) and killing their family lines up with the HN guidelines.

I don't think everyone has, which is concerning. I suspect we'll see some congresspeople remark on how they "never voted for" some aspects of the bill.

I'm of the opinion that should be unregulated as well. Just like you say, what's important is people's awareness and understanding of the tool and how it works underneath.

Agreed. Some forget that the US has this beautiful great thing called freedom of speech, meaning that some can express to like things, as well as dislike things! It's not uncommon to find stickers among laptops where some are excited f

5? That number is far too low - even here on HN we have people genuinely commenting that vaccines directly cause autism.

Are there any good independent media also posting on X.com? I believe HN usually prefers that particular Twitter-like source.

Isn't that arguably want rural communities want, however? I believe they're the strongest advocates of small government, less subsidies and pulling oneself (ie, their community) up by their bootstraps, regardless of what reality i

It's easier to understand that excuse when people realize that Americans tend to start with a conclusion then work their way backwards to support it. As in, 'we aren't doing much about climate change so here's why that&#

I believe the medieval era ended in the 15th century, but the wall was built in the 17th. So actually the wall would have actually been a colonial era wall, if going by eras - not to mention the construction style was actually more reminisc

I don't think the dishwasher will be "full of water" as it doesn't actually fill up - rather, it only uses 2 gallons maximum per cycle, about the amount that would be the bottom of basin of the washer.

> Whenever natural gas supply is turned off in the US, for any reason, only the gas company can turn it back on Doesn't match my experience. My colleagues and I are able to turn on or off the gas supply to our houses at will.

I wonder when the US will implement a similar system. For being one of the most wealthy and technologically progressive countries, I'm surprised it isn't further along.

Source for this? After years in the industry, I believe otherwise at this point.

I don't agree with the title - I've seen many engineers be rational and pragmatic about programming languages. I'm not entirely sure why the author decided to lead with such a charged headline.

> most engineers contemplate ideas, change their mind, ask clarifying questions I don't disagree at all. I find it slightly funny that in my experience interviewing for FAANG and YC startups, the signs you mentioned would be seen as

One of the rallying cries of the right is "facts don't care about your feelings", but it's interesting how the facts either get distorted or ignored.

Decades of blog posts, articles and books about "best practices" led to a suspicion of anything that wasn't bog standard OOP. This site in particular has also contributed to that, especially in the early 2000s, where you can

Why not? China has/had the problem in their own backyard and we're likely acutely aware of the impact it has. Wouldn't that hasten their need to come up with alternative solutions? Meanwhile the US is full of hubris and can&#

That doesn't mean it disappears though - it still exists, just in a non-working state.

I don't think it disappears - the copy I have will still be on my machine, and free to use as well. Unless they implemented something to remotely delete it?

That makes it difficult, but the original comment said it wasn't 'possible'. I'm failing to see the impossibility still.

How is it not possible? It's just additional votes, there isn't anything actually stopping counting by hand, is there? How was it counted historically without voting machines?
