Well, looks like I'll never be using copilot.

Even if that were responsible for greater pedestrian deaths--and I doubt it is--the US nonetheless has a disgustingly high pedestrian death rate.

I think it’s more that he was a provocateur and beloved by prominent figures in the psychedelic subculture.

I think that would probably be impossible to quantify. Would you consider amount of sexual abuse per religion, per believer, per cleric, or what? And, of course, reliable historical data on sexual abuse is unavailable. I think your impressi

I mean, it’s not entirely implausible that housing is a better index of cost of living than computers.

Speaking as a total non-expert here: assuming workspaces _look_ good, I think this will entirely depend on software. What will it be like to use this with a keyboard? Will the OS be as siloed as iOS? This morning, my mac wouldn't boot.

I like the mouse. It scrolls well, it’s thinness means it fits well in bag compartments, and I’ve never been bothered by the charging because I only have to charge every few months and use it at a desktop, where I have a lightning cable han

NGOs “keep” vagrants and criminals like livestock to terrorize law abiding citizens? This is so vague that I have no idea what you’re suggesting is actually going on.

If only there were some way to distinguish farms from not-farms…

Whenever someone begins a piece with, “Throughout history,” you know it’ll be intellectual gold.

I miss the 1970s, when big cities were just swell!

The perennial panic on HN over declining birth rates seems like thinly veiled cover for cultural conservatism. First off, if we want to bring the birth rate back up, we would probably do well to implement social policies that makes having k

In what way is this post "analysis" rather than ham-handed moral posturing? This kind of moral panic has galvanized conservatives ever since urbanization, industrialization, and first-wave feminism in the latter half of the ninete

Yeah. The "modern woman" is definitely to blame, and not the stagnant wages, exploding housing prices, and rising inequality--not to mention weak social safety net--that make raising children cost prohibitive.

Sure. But it’s pretty easy to get dejected when you have a large class full of maniacs and no support. Also, people here should stop generalizing their experience in California to the country at large. MA and NJ have pretty good public scho

Alternately, we just let things go on as they are, and China can steal the technology. Much better!

Fair point on a unique insight being sufficient for a blog post. I should also give the author credit for writing clearly and for his photo montages--problems with the approach aside, it's at least superficially effective. This is a bi

Three things: 1. The author's entire brand identity follows this format. ("Hi. I'm Alex Murrell. I'm the Strategy Director at Epoch. And I make the complex clear.") 2. This is not a new observation. Apart from the a

I was wondering the same. The HN cheerleading for members of the tribe makes this place feel like a recipe blog. "Looks yum! Can't wait to tryy." 5 stars.

I fear you haven't spent much time in the places in this "world of abundance" where people live in abject misery. I'm currently in Brazil, where some 20% of the population lives on less than $5.50 per day and 30% of fami

Well, I guess I give you credit for being openly anti-democratic…?

Is status really linked to ability? Was SBF an anomaly, or just might it have been the case that he benefitted from obvious unearned social capital, like his Stanford professor parents? And that he, like plenty of others, told a story about

She’s not proposing legislation. She’s saying these guys are hypocrites who privatize the wins and socialize the losses.

They’re not free, but they’re cheaper than taxes.

Appalachia seems like a strange choice given that people have tended to marry younger and have more kids there than in the rest of the country.

Isn’t this really just because married partners can share health care? /jk But really, I’d like to see more attention to how many of these effects are due to the ways in which marriages are legally recognized and respected in ways that
