For what it's worth, this is on page 6 for all-time HN everything, so congrats, Walz. Also, I'm curious how this would be different in other cities. What are the most commonly played songs? How does this differ from the typical li

I think what they meant was that if there are eligibility requirements and such, paperwork is required and some parents won't do it. So no questions asked solves that problem. That's how I parsed it, at least.

Um...poorly. Mostly the default folders, and then I search and/or remember it. It helps I don't have a profusion of files, though not for lack of effort. Many of the things have descriptive titles, though some don't (ok, a lo

It seems like a lot of these government-owned space things last a lot longer than they're made for. There's Landsat, Spirit, Opportunity, Hubble, the Voyagers, et cetera. It seems to be a pretty steep curve - either they fail on

I did not expect fugues and refugees to be etymologically related. You learn something new every day, I guess. Even if it's something you'd prefer you didn't know, like that apparently six-month-old eggs don't smell weir

I'm not. Or if I am, I'm in for a surprise. I don't think I'm magnetic, at least. So there's at least one person on HN who is not a bot, to their knowledge. Unfortunately I have no proof that wouldn't involve

I believe so you can see, if you wish, how established someone is. And to provide a moderate degree of confidence that other people, at least, generally find their claims accurate (if there is a strange, hard-to-Google, claim they make).

It's not social media, but Google hid Proton Mail, a prominent 'competitor', from search results for secure/encrypted email for a while: https://proton.me/blog/search-risk-google .

I would be no more or less likely to go. If they are functionally the same as people there is no way for me to tell if right now that's what's happening, therefore it would not consciously impact my thinking.

The key is that if . What if it isn't, yet? What if right now the AI is in a phase where it's still learning and doesn't produce good stuff yet? Besides, products have been getting worse for a while. Enshittification is a po

That's odd. I'm one of the 'younger people', I assume (Gen Z can't be considered old already , right?) but would prefer to own things, for the simple reason that I can barely manage library books (luckily mine has

Something that isn't discussed enough is that nuclear power is extremely safe. According to Our World In Data ( https://ourworldindata.org/safest-sources-of-energy ), it produces the fewest emissions per gigawatt -- sola

The amount doesn't matter. As long as the government, and not the bully, is paying, the bully won't care.

Have you played Blossom ( https://www.merriam-webster.com/games/blossom-word-game ) before? It's really good. I do it intermittently, as I do all games.

As pavel_lishin says, as long as the bully/their family aren't paying, they don't care. If you drive drunk and crash and disable someone, you're not paying their Medicaid all by yourself. If you did, there might be les

Maybe. I think the real distinction is reach. Are you consuming content passively, or are you creating content for many people? If you're creating content on torture China's doing, they absolutely will track you down. If you'

I'm also fairly new and would like to second this. HN is really interesting. Or, rather, it does a good job both making it harder to find the less interesting stuff and making it easy to guess if you'll be interested in it.

Because it makes money for Big Pharma and insurance. And no one else. That's it. If we switched to Swedish-style healthcare, even accounting for the population difference, the US government ALONE -- ALONE -- would spend about 1/4

Not changed my mind (on what? "The holocaust is bad"?) but Night (and its sequel Day; I haven't read Dawn, which comes in the middle, yet) by Elie Wiesel. Horrifying, but important. Note that it's semi-fictionalized. On

TL;DR: Because today, people are regularly living long enough to get it. It's often a good sign to have higher cancer rates -- societies with higher cancer rates are richer, happier, and live longer than those with lower cancer rates.

I found the audiobook of Sapiens to be fairly soothing, but I don't listen to many audiobooks. The book itself is also pretty good.

I wonder how long it'll stay. The poor strikers at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette have been going for 22 months[1] (!) so far. It's impressive. Until then, they've set up the Pittsburgh Union-Progress.[2] What's weird is ho
