That would also eliminate any positive effect that HN has on Google search results.

The idea of UBI, to me at least, is a mind-blowing one. It’s a shame something like this doesn’t exist on a large scale already. I know I’m probably missing something important here, but can someone outline any good reasons, if any, that it

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’m terribly lost in the search for the right texts. Every time I come across a new book/resource, it compounds the confusion. I find myself incapable of sitting down with a book and working through it

I wonder if there will be a time when textbooks will be created in digital-first format, instead of being mere replicas of what print books are. It doesn’t have to be static text and images on A4 pages.

I went through them a long time ago. It’s not the most in-depth resource, but you will learn enough calculus for when you need to actually apply it or even just pass tests. Also learning math on KA is really fun, there’s something they just

The self-talk seems to be less than optimal. They are unable to truly accept their own love: > Self: Hey Chase! Do you like me? > Chase: I love your life! > Self: Um > Chase: Yeah, you’re so lucky. There’s not another life I’d w

It is a really well-written piece that resonates within me, but I am compelled to point out that not everything that the author speaks of is a lost cause. It would suit us better to stop brooding over it, and to focus instead on what can be

Web browsers are already filling in the role of "super-apps." I can connect to thousands of services across the planet without leaving the window of my browser. What need will a potential super-app address that the open web can&#x

The article may have an interesting premise, however the only statistics we are offered in support of the author’s claim is two years’ worth of data (2021 and 2022). What about the more long-term trends? We might be missing the big picture

I don’t understand what is so surprising about this. The world has been producing high-quality music for decades. The catalog of old music will always grow in size relative to the catalog of new music. Were we expecting the dominance of old

They'll just blame the other countries. The government, the police, and most the population exhibit an exceptional ability to believe in their own lies.

TL;DR two extremists make offensive statements on television, journalist tweeting a segment from it to bring it to public attention gets arrested. You may argue that Mohammed Zubair is somehow an evil cynical person who wants to watch the w

Graham's Hierarchy of Disagreement applies here. You couldn't refute the central point of something you disagreed with, so you resorted to sarcasm and mockery. Perhaps it would've helped if you had a proper counterargument ba

Sometimes these tangentially-related search results help people discover new things they would've otherwise missed out on. I believe striking a balance between recommendations and to-the-point results is necessary.

The alternative is to encourage people to not overdo follow-ups. Those with a strong moral compass with understand your words and play fair, others won’t. This will place the former group at a severe disadvantage. The only practical way to

If one envelope contains 4 times the money of the other envelope, then by swapping you either gain 3x or lose 3x, where x is the amount of money in the smaller envelope. Even in this case, the average return is +3x -3x = 0.

Outside the HN/tech-enthusiast bubble, yes. In my circle Instagram is the platform of choice. The majority is generally dismissive of Meta's privacy issues.

> the inability to see friends At least that last factor is directly correlated with online learning. Also I know from experience that most students in online classes aren’t even actively listening. A good chunk of them end up on YouTube
