I think many people naturally see ways that society can be improved and are wiling to work on them. It's hard to make this point without going into all aspects of socialist thought. However, in basic, the reason most people produce now

Probably capitalism will collapse (hopefully). Society is strong and resilient, and will likely be just fine. The real question is whether there will be a way to issue in the next iteration of societal order, or if it will regress when the

That's been really big for Oculus games from what I can tell. It has the added benefit of being faster to render, allowing for a GTX970 (the minimum spec card for oculus) to be able to drive games at the required speed. Lucky's Ta

But both of these things have large global repercussions, hence the newsworthiness. Maybe salmon in particular is a bad proxy because I believe most Salmon, at least in the US, is farm raised, but it demonstrates the increasing prices of fi

If this had oculus or some other VR support I would be in 100%. I love an N body physics sim, especially one with nice graphics, so I would pay dearly to be able to experience it at full scale. It's a lifelong dream.

There is a precedent for open source data sets being called open source[1]. I've heard it before and I don't have a problem calling it that. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_science_data

No, i'm not educated in psychology. I don't see how that is even remotely relevant in a conversation about how to connect with people across screens and digital displays...

> Empathy: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. I don't really agree. What you are describing sounds like social engineering, which certainly requires a sensitivity to empathy. Either way, your argument is ab

Honestly, I see this internet counterculture as a mirror of what is happening in the real world as a more mainstream reactionary shift to the right, due to a number of recent progressive movements heading the opposite direction.

And worse is that the only reason I have windows in the first place is to play games. I don't need to do anything else on it, but I have to have it in my life because big game companies will not make games for linux. Hell, I'm so

I'm annoyed that it said the "Most Voted" before I even had the chance to look at the options. That immediately tainted my ability for an unbiased response.

Yes, that's called bourgeois propaganda.

Seriously, how is this even relevant to hacker news? It fosters no discussion, and is full of horrific sexist advice.

I've only been a professional programmer for 2 years now. For my own edification, what events or laws or shifts are you referring to?

Citation needed. Your assertion is completely baseless. Even in the event where it was in fact true, altering your behavior towards the person based on your expectation of what they might do based on statistics is the very mode of sexism.

It's not a total restriction. You can fly at the airport if you tell ATC and they clear you. Though that specific scenario is unlikely, I've seen emails from hobbyists to ATCs asking permission to fly within the limits and they
