I don't know, but who cares. Maybe for pollen and dust allergies. Part of the problem is everyone feels the need to judge others. Why does it bother you that people wear masks on the beach? Why can't you just let them be?

Probably, but the fact that maintainers are stretched thin when it comes to time for code review is not really news.

I wear mine alone in the car or on the sidewalk frequently. Not because I'm "afraid" but because I'm too lazy to take it on and off between every stop I'm going to make. This attitude that people are wearing masks a

Bitcoin is deflationary, and every modern economy is run on inflation. Bitcoin is popular with the types who hold gold and are mad that the bag of cash under their mattress loses value every year. Deflation is bad for economies, it incentiv

It's not how it works now. I think many were caught off guard by the legal setup of freenode that allowed it to be sold, including all the staff that resigned and founded Libera Chat. With that in mind, the lesson to take from that is

It becomes the cost of doing dirty business. Solar is taking off not because we banned coal, but because it's cheaper than coal. If coal and natural gas were taxed according to their carbon output, solar would be even more ahead, nucle

The value add of Skip/UberEats/GrubHub is more obvious now. At some point it's just nice to have an app that worksz even if you pay a premium for it.

A pollution tax is really the only viable solution though. Playing whack a mole against individual entities and activities will never solve the problem, and creates a lot of legislation. So long as pollution and carbon are free or cheap, p

I think that was their point about hardware. It's so hard and expensive to acquire as a consumer that stadia is tempting even for peoe who usually build their own gaming PCs.

> Plus, if that's an issue we want to solve, then make laws that actually target discrimination because of arrest record. Do you honestly think such laws would be effective?

Sure, but what you're basically saying is "what Musk did isn't illegal because the thing he did it against isn't considered a security" You may be technically correct, doesn't make it any less sketch or immoral

It is illegal to "pump and dump" a security. I have a hard time believing the people here defending Musk dont know this, and can't see how his behaviour _migbt_ qualify as a pump and dump.

It is when you do it for the purposes of market manipulation. Intent matters, which also makes market manipulation so difficult to prove.

Public services also have the benefit of being connected to the greater tax pool. If profitability is a goal of a public service, it shouldn't be measured in isolation. If the service causes an indirect increase economic activity it

Let's be honest, this is what you sign up for with Apple. Apple chooses not only the defaults but even what software you are allowed to run. To be surprised that Apple uses "their" network of devices to provide services to th

Here's another thought experiment. Forget the opening of the door. Start with picking a door at random, you have a 1/3 chance of having picked the car. On that I think we all agree. Now let's say that the host offers to let

You're actievly committing the sink cost fallacy. You need to ignore how much has been spent already and just look at how much it more it will cost from right now to host the Olympics, compared to potential value it would produce.

I'm sure almost nobody even outside HN thinks that self driving cars will be better than themselves. Everybody thinks they're above average drivers. That's a psychological problem that self-driving cars will have to overcome
