Please don't be dismissive on HN, and if you are going to be negative, please provide a well thought out comment to support your position. This is not Reddit.

The Kinect is truly giant in computer vision/hobbyist circles. Your metaphor may be good, but not for the reasons you mean - I think gaming won't be impacted, but industries will be.

That's what good journalism looks like, especially when it covers complex topics

Yeah, at that point you weigh the consulting time against the chance of the (job x salary) NPVed.

This is really cool, but I don't understand why they'd be more popular than local currency if they're not the dominant world currency like the dollar is. Still, what a fascinating chunk of currency.

What, NYC vs Rockland county? That wouldn't be a genocide, it would be a zoning argument. Same as Miami vs Georgia. If waves lap up against my place in Queens, I'm not going to start killing my neighbors. I'm going to move to

It's 100% efficient at worsening climate change due to subsidized Chinese coal electricity in order to further a Ponzi scheme.

You're underestimating humanity. You're talking about a species that walked from Ethiopia to Tierra Del Fuego, and then a blink of time later landed on the Moon. We're the top predator in the planet, and we got there in less

We need what Japan has: a national zoning code.

Kansas City. Nashville has been a hotspot for back office outsourcing from the Bay and NYC for years.

Fires burn too fast for this analogy to work. Even in the worst climate change cases, we have a very long time to work out how to get off the planet. It would be great to avoid, but moving people out of coastal cities certainly has a preced

What are you talking shit? Income segregation is not enforced by government (except, ironically, for zoning laws)

The Arab Spring revolution became the Syrian Civil War, which became IS. Don't take away the agency of people in other countries to be evil, just because you believe the US is.

A thousand times this. Is Trump right? No. Has the response to him been absolutely unacceptable? Yes.

Capital in the 21st century is a political piece, and is certainly not a good intro to economics book.

Why is every article about the right so negative? Soros is rarely derided on HN like this

Something about the experiment design seems off, but I can't place exactly what.

And who is more qualified?

90% VTI 10% BND. So far, 6.3% return this year (based on arbitrary pay ins, no market timing used)

No, a serious tone is what keeps us from being Reddit

So far as we know, no concepts exist outside Earth

And the weather is much nicer, even in Saskatchewan! You get all the air you can breath! Honestly though - isn't Venus more likely to take well to terraforming

I'm going with this theory - it makes more sense than "MS HATES LINUX!!11!!"

Yeah, suburbanization is a symptom of a failure of the social contract - people fleeing from terrible schools, crime, racial division, etc. "A nice place to raise children" is a fairly transparent way of saying "a neighborhoo

But that doesn't really matter, because in terms of politcal capital, UBI is never, ever going to happen.

Where's the sidewalk? I thought San Francisco was supposed to be mad pedestrian friendly, but that neighborhood looks like shit

In a super, super, super diverse field. That's like saying my grocery store is #2 in worldwide sales (this is reductio ad absurdum, but you get my drift)
