Real estate is not really a space problem; we have a lot of nice, uninhabited land all over the globe. The problem is that people want to live near denser areas for various reasons and reducing the world population will (probably) only redu

Slightly off-topic, but who is this @ic3 and why does he tag them in the same way as the FBI? Here's the account, for reference: https://twitter.com/ic3 . Doesn't look like an official to me.

> scroll position gets reset all the time Actually, HN is the only social media site where my browser can consistently keep the scroll position. Animations and endless scrolling are what breaks it.

There's definitely a lesson in prioritization in there, as these task are mostly not dependent on each other. Hal already had the light bulb in his hand when he noticed the loose shelf and he already had the tools to fix the shelf when

It's like a headline saying Budweiser fosters alcoholism. Yes, alcoholics will be worse off if they drink Budweiser and yes, Budweiser does in some way foster alcoholism by producing and selling alcohol, but it's a very narrow pic

I'm pretty sure that's due to conflicts with default console bindings. That being said, always having a cheat sheet at the bottom makes this mostly a non-issue, even when using something easier as a baseline than vi.

Serious question: Would you like to increase the systems overreach by incarcerating people which can post a reasonable bond, but therefore make the system more fair? People who have nothing have nothing to loose when dodging bond. Rich peop

I doubt CZ would have been able to put up enough collateral to save FTX, even if he tried.

This is not bloodlust. SBF has squandered away billions, including investing several hundred millions in himself. A bond is intended to be high enough so that fleeing will be unlikely but, given SBFs history, him wasting another $250 millio

TL;DR due to health issues (migraines from hangover). Still an interesting read, especially since the author needed to 'cope' with being sober in a different way than you usually hear.

Since both are talking, I assume their deal isn't that great. My understanding is that you only get those out-of-jail-free cards if there's no other way to convict and I don't see that being the case here in any way. On the o

Last I checked, the ban bots exist in default subreddits (like /r/TwoXChromosomes) and there are reason you might want to comment in one of the shunned subs - not that you will usually know a sub is on that list until the bots get

Maybe what you take for protecting Elon is really just having a different opinion? I've personally 'defended' Musk a lot on HN already, not because I particularly like him or think he needs it, but because I honestly think th

On the other hand, advertisers have been turning away (at least for some time) and Twitter now has to pay a lot of interest. It will really be interesting to see how this turns out.

People spend millions on the lottery. Old rich people spending their money on a revival ticket with similar chances doesn't seem that bad to me.

Well, nice to meet you! That being said, yes, most people (in my friend group) did not explicitly pay for Windows, but they bought devices with an included license that the OEM paid for. So they did not directly send money to Microsoft, but

But choosing the right team is part of being a successful business man. I still think it's fair to credit him for SpaceX despite Gwynne Shotwell and his engineers running the company; he founded it, he brought the vision and he hired t

I don't have a problem with commercial software, in fact I pay for quite a bit of it. I don't mind Windows being proprietary, either. However, the problem really is twofold: The first aspect is that I, as paying user, am getting m

Probably "productive" distractions, since you can do them a lot more before feeling bad and going back to work. Especially if you can silently get into the "fun" territory. I've actually had this with HN in the last

I'm somewhat disappointed that there is no Firefox version. However, given that the author most likely uses his extension, I can see what might have happened.

By the time he signed the agreement, it was voluntary. By the time ge actually bought it, it looked a lot like he'd rather not. This is not to defend Musk in any way, it's just a statement of facts.

OpenAI is explicitly trying to filter ChatGPT from saying things that may insult people, describe criminal activity (like how to hotwire a car or how to make methamphetamine), incite self-harm and the likes. Instead, you will get a generic

IANAL, but Twitter is a private company fully owned by Musk. This might be a publicity disaster, but legally they should be fully in the clear.
