If that's the case, that's because the people are choosing crappy politicians who let that happen. If a father of a family lets the five-year old decide where to live, what to eat, and what to buy, that doesn't mean the five-

I've never understood this. Not attending to an infected tooth can, for example, spread to other parts of the body, ending up with you having a heart attack or something.

Let's crowdsource this :) Please give examples of countries where it would be feasible to pick up five random kids and take them to Pizza Hut without having the cops showing up. I live in Sweden and my feeling is that this is absolutel

In Sweden, where my opinion of the public health care is that it's useless (unless you're having a really acute problem), I've looked for private hospitals to get help from. No such luck! Finding a specialist to help you, no

I've never understood why dental care isn't included when you otherwise have universal healthcare. Why single out dental problems? It's about as impossible to just ignore having an infected tooth that needs to be pulled out a

Exactly my thought as well. If the phone only was just that, a phone, I would happily lend it out to strangers all the time (at least if it looked like they didn't have the stamina to outrun me :P).

This is how it works in Sweden as well for försörjningsstöd, which is something you can get if you have no income and you actively look for work. However, if you’re disabled, I’m pretty sure other rules apply.

I use Taskpaper everyday, both for To-do:s and to take notes. I’ll gladly switch to Bike the day it can do most of the thing Taskpaper can do. I’ll eagerly follow the development of it.

Sorry, I might have misunderstood you, but can’t you just mute the audio of your device altogether? Or do you want to continue to listen to music in the background or something?

The fact that this comment is downvoted means that at least some people here doesn’t understand how to use the downvoting function. I think the comment highly contributed to the discussion by pointing out what Tether states today (and askin

Nothing, but I guess I don’t have to tell you that, since your question seems rhetorical in Nature. However, what keeps BTC from crashing is the same psychological effect that keeps Twitter, Facebook, Nike, or Coca-Cola from crashing: Brand

I don't get how they can sell out so quickly. Why won't stores simply raise the price in order to reach parity between supply and demand?

I would be careful using this rule. Women are, in general, most uncomfortable around weak/strange (but totally harmless) men. Bring your average woman to a Richard Stallman meet-up and then to a UFC match and ask her which setting she

My thoughts wasn’t particularly related to this suggestion. As I said, I’m against it. I’m talking about more or less watching your every move maybe even to the point of not letting you communicate with other human beings at all. Alternativ

Yeah, maybe I wasn’t clear enough. I’m talking about surveillance on the level of sticking a camera down your toilet and putting you in jail for even thinking that you could send an encrypted message to somebody.

by GaylordTuring 4y ago
In theory (and in practice today), I’m strongly against this. However, I see a future where you will have to choose between mass surveillance or something close to extinction. I might be wrong, but as technology progress, it seems almost in

I agree. There are very few games that I’ll buy on day one without even reading the reviews. This will be one of them.

I’m still disappointed that Darth Jar Jar didn’t come to fruition. It would have been perfect. In episode VII, Yoda is introduced as this ridiculous character that turned out to be a Jedi master, with the moral of the story being that you s

True. But nobody wants to use that because the price performance is horrible. And price performance is the only utility that most people care about in crypto.

Many people make an obscene amount of money from this. I think that answers your question why many also put so much time and effort into it.

Yes, it could, if you don’t account for the psychology of humans who might be caught in tragedy of the commons situations, stuck in local maxima, or simply have irrational thoughts across the board. That’s a big if though. For example, we h

> It still blows my mind people think it is acceptable that the network eat their transaction fee if the transaction doesn't go through, especially when these fees are so high (as if now it can cost $2k to do any sort of NFT stuff).

This is my experience as well! On several occasions, when going straight in an intersection, I’ve almost been hit by left turning cars with drivers who haven’t seen me until last second.

Would it be too much to ask for Hacker News to not promote products made in and benefiting evil regimes such as China and Russia? You wouldn’t allow The Nazipad 2000 to be showen here; what’s the difference?

Unfortunately, however, peer review in these fields extremely seldom involve someone actually checking the code/all the calculations/the underlying data.
