I'm still not sure what to think about cryptocurrency[0]. I just don't get the price fluctuations. They seem to be random and not based on any relevant real-world event. Granted, they list the announcement of Libra as a reason in

So, how does this relate to our predictions about global warming? Anyone here who has insights on that?

Ha, nice one! :) Sure he would be punished, but who'd call him out for it? I guess it'd rather be the people coming into the subway station after the train has left than the ones in the train.

Yes, that is a reasonable line. The big difference that I see is, if someone is waving his genitals in my face I may fear he may come unto me, rub his penis against me or whatever else. A dick pic is just that, a picture of a penis. I'

So you're saying we should give control of the means of production to the workers? ;)

It surely isn't ideal, but that's kind of how the world works, no? New developments emerge and we adjust our laws to deal with the new situation in a way that society sees fit. IMHO voting on something like maximum population dens

It could use a little more context. I also was confused at first and the graphs seem to me to want to make the topic look more technical then it really is. Nevertheless, it's a very interesting perspective into a field I'm not fam

I'm not currently running a business, but have been thinking about switching to self-employment or other more business-centric roles in the future. I also find the thinking behind the article intriguing. I'm not used to thinking a

That's a really interesting point you brought up there. I wanted to come up with the counter-example of Hong Kong, which is already a hyper-dense city. But, as it turns out, bikes do get pushed out there in favour of public transport:

That's an issue I experience as well. What some cities try to sell as bike infrastructure is a joke. Wher I live in Vienna there's bike lanes BETWEEN two lanes of cars (at least two lanes going in the same direction) with no physi

I never told anyone to stop discussing anything, I was just pointing out an alternative view to 0xffff2's argument. I'm completely with you that only reading HN-comments can be very interesting too. That said, I'm glad HN-rul

I get your point. However, the flipside is how sensical it would be to share a link on a forum like this if most of the users can't see the content of it

Well, now I'm confused. Did I not understand this correctly?: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html It says it's okay to help other users to read an article and even to ask for links (under the point "Are

Don't know why you're getting downvoted. Just recently I read that HN guidlines encourage posting non-paywalled links. I used yours, thank you!

No, what he is describing should directly lead to people carefully considering what they share online. I remember 15 years ago everybody knew that, now it's "oh, I get internet points for sharing every bar/restaurant/ven

Maybe I should just forget about it, but I don't understand your point. Where did your friend move and why? Where you criticizing the police for increasing presence in case of a hooligan invasion? Or where you applauding them for doing

I also appreciate HN for the interesting things I find out about the world that I would've never otherwise found out. I also not only read it for the informational content but can appreciate good writing. And yes, of course there shoul

I just want to be able to browse a news aggregating site and have a rough idea of what the article is about. So why have me click on the article only to find out "oh, it's about interactions between great whites and orcas" wh

by Joe-Z 7y ago
I do not. Calling bullshit out is exactly what I want to see. There's like 20 links on one page of HN for me, I don't need "a little bit of mystery" when I want to scan what I may be interested in EDIT: It's 30 link

Well yes, but it‘s not like the flaky, moronic marketeers don‘t know people like you exist. So reviews just become another topic of optimization for them.

At least for Quora (or rather StackOverflow for me) I could understand it as satisfying a need to be in a community of experts and exchange ideas on more fringe topics. Also it‘s probably a good thing to put on your resume if you have amass

I saw the live stream yesterday and when the two side boosters landed side-by-side synchronously it was almost as if it was out of a movie. We are living in the future!

Your comment is of course much more reasonable than mine. I too would expect police to show up or SWAT kick in a door if a terrorism threat was called on someone. Blaming the murder of an innocent person on the hoaxer however seems perverse

Looks like he copy-pasted it. I was confused too.

by Joe-Z 8y ago
Well, I guess if you‘re in the US it is perfectly reasonable to expect police (even „special tactics“ teams) to just immediately shoot people on the sole base of a phone call and thus all of the responsibility lies on the caller. Remember k

I think the parts you‘re quoting are referring to his actions after he was asked to do a 20th anniversary write-up not for the original story.

Cars have gotten so safe though. There's all this measures put in place to ensure your survival _in case of a crash_. Wouldn't it be more relevant to calculate the chances of getting injured / end up in a crash at all? I mean
