I thought it was pretty good! Industrial society and its consequences have been a disaster for human kind. The rainforest and its inhabitants are under constant threat and not surprisingly, the chief culprit is Western culture and its value

When will society learn the lesson that people's goodness and "pureness" is based on the actions they take, and not on the opinions they hold or the manner they hold in private company.

I'm getting older now and am finding this harder and harder to do as "real-life" things pile up. I was crushing it early in the pandemic, but it's really dried up in the past few months. The big thing is having a job. Mo

> The student alleged that Wallace’s satire “defamed” the Stanford Federalist Society, causing “harm” to the student group and to the “individual reputations” of the officers. This reminds of me of the case of 'Hustler Magazine v. F

It depends what you're trying to accomplish, but I found VCV Rack to be a great environment to implement synth ideas without having to worry about reinventing the wheel. Trying making a Rack module! https://vcvrack.com/

If you can make it all the way to the end of the article and are confused by the phrase "it will all end in pizza," it's a common Brazillian phrase which means "and nothing will happen", as in, the leaders all got t

This is not a conspiracy theory, it's history. You basically described the whole process yourself. But it's not just oil, it's everything the empire needs. > Outside of Oil, there's really no reason for any nation to

The dollar is the reserve currency of most of the world because of the explicit threat of violence. This isn't hyperbole, this is reality. It's simple. You take the loan in dollars, then pay us back in goods, sold at a discount in

The question is what happens when more than 2.9% of people try to do that at the same time.

That you don't realize that the dollar is backed up by the force of the US military shows how far detached those who live in the imperial core are from those who live near its outskirts.

Shaaaaady. The NYGA report on Tether is due today. Tether is completely insolvent, and once the rug is pulled, all of the exchanges are going to realize that all of their "stable" reserves are worthless and they can't pay out

I came here to point this out - this is how people from California communicate. They simply take turns talking about themselves, orbiting around the same subject until somebody says something with enough gravity to drag the conversation int

As a FOIA hunter myself, I have to say the only uncommon here is that they returned _anything at all_. The CIA, the NSA and NYPD are all far outliers in terms of response rates to compared to every other organization. 12 years is a long tim

That sounds nice, but is it true? Weren't the Vikings, later Normen, far less advanced than the places they raided? They absorbed the technology, the land and culture and used it to conquer and form what is present-day England. Maybe w

Steve Duda worked with Deadmau5 to come up with Serum, which is probably the most popular synth VST (and I think previously he was a sound designer for Trent Reznor).

The article mentions _two_ instance of people hiring somebody to quit a job on their own behalf - what? I know there are some Japanophiles here on HN - can somebody explain what that's all about?

More importantly - why do innovations by NASA not go into the public domain? Our tax dollars paid for it, our homemade battlebots should be armored by it.

I'm glad that people are pursuing end-of-pipe solutions as well. For a long time (at least by my understanding), they've been considered verboten by environmental groups, but I think there are all sorts of sensible uses cases. Goo

Of course, you are both correct here. Spam was my first thought as well. Back in the golden age of blogging, I loved getting pingbacks on my posts, but the ecosystem became flooded with spam to the point that anybody old enough to remember

I'm a big Adam Curtis fan, but I was pretty disappointed by this one. The first 5 parts are pretty much the exact same content as his older films - he uses all the same music and even a lot of the same interviews - and some of it seems
