These comments are kind of hilarious when the average software engineer’s wardrobe consists almost entirely of tech company t-shirts/hoodies with giant logos on them :D

I agree with you, and this is why my original post specifically referred to a preteen and an adult.

There are no situations where an 11 year old having sex with a grown adult man isn’t rape. Sure, some cultures or religions might say otherwise, but at the end of the day it’s just basic ethics. It is just semantics, but everything in our l

That’s because there’s no amputation risk in white collar jobs. There’s the risk of sinking the business by doing dumb things, but that takes a while, and many execs have made a career out of hopping from company to company, collecting gian

I’ve encountered similar issues with macOS tiling window managers. At the end of the day, you’re bolting on behaviors that the original designers of the system didn’t intend you to, and there’s always going to be tension there. When I’m on

We can support what works today, while commenting on its shortfalls to raise awareness and build better, more secure solutions for tomorrow.

It’s good to keep in mind that the same classes of people who praise “transcendent art” today and criticize “ordinary art” would have done the exact same thing if they had been contemporaries of the transcendent artists they now adulate so

If you can post on HN you can surely use Google/Wikipedia :) The particular anecdote GP is referring to is here though: https://m.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=211040872252... HN discussion: https://

The center for the book ( https://sfcb.org ) in San Francisco offers intro to letterpress classes, which I cannot recommend enough. Being able to go from layout to printed paper so directly and viscerally is fantastic. If you&#x27

The corollary of this is pretty awe inspiring - we find only a fraction of a percent of the fossil record that exists, and the fossil record that exists is only a fraction of a percent of everything that happened, all the species that exist

The article suggests that for many on the tour, this was a once in a lifetime kind of trip. "For many, it was the first time they traveled abroad, and the last time they would travel to Europe. This trip was a little bit like a trophy

What do they see when they travel abroad though? A large portion (if not a majority?) of those 140 million travelers go through organized tour groups, where they jump from attraction to attraction, staying half an hour or so to take pictur

Sadly it seems like it is many times easier for politicians to push a soda tax (which also serves as a political gesture on its own that can be framed as being for the good of the every day people and against the controlling influence of Bi

Clearly if the starving, downtrodden French people had sought a polite debate with the king instead, it’d have ushered the age of democracy and human rights much faster.

If it’s a way to get people to step out of their comfort zone and enjoy the outdoors, then it’s all good. No need for gate keeping.

Equally serious question: Why do you want to plant seeds of doubt? I suspect you are likely to answer something like “because it’s for their own good”, or “because they have a right to the Truth”. Have you considered that what is good/

Yes, and effective regulation is precisely about preventing broader emergent patterns that harm innovation, competition, and society as a whole as a result of the (inevitably) short sighted, individual actions of consumers who indeed often

That initial line of reasoning makes sense, but then it becomes another argument. If it's about opportunity (makes sense, catching a human does seem easier than an antelope) rather than anything intrinsic to human flesh, then why would

Why would one ever expect the median price per square foot in San Francisco, a metropolis with high economic activity, to ever approach that of the US on average?! If we’re going to pick targets, then comparing it to other large metropolise
