David Horowitz doesn't seem radical at all. His positions as far as I can google in five minutes seem very reasonable. I think you seeing him as radical is more a reflection of how radically left you are.

I'm biased against this and you're biased towards it. And your opinion is just as worthy of being kept to yourself. It's not that you're against shame you just don't want your bad behaviors shamed.

So this is more like an art than science - and Claude Code happens to be the best at this messy art (imo).

Money isn't the only factor of why the single fathers produce better outcomes for their children.

by ap99 6mo ago
This is actually well known.

Just google it. Better outcomes all around when the father is the only parent as opposed to when the mother is the only parent.

Exactly. This whole "no shame" society has gone a bit too far.

Not really, no. Sex has consequences like these people are seeing. Consenting people can still make mistakes and ruin relationships where if they had exercised better judgment they wouldn't have had problems.

The sex part is a bit shame worthy I'd say. But the part where this woman cannot identify the father is definitely worth shaming.

War is one manifestation of politics. Politics will exist for as long as there are people. Any country not able to or interested in waging occasional war will be destroyed by countries that can and do. Simple as that. But please I'm in

They're not just betting on the current tech, they're building out infra like this because probably any future tech currently being researched will also require massive data centers. Like how the gpt llms were kind of a side proje

It's more out of convenience that credit card is used. There isn't some American principle that human = credit score. Americans just don't want their government ID required to do basic things. See discord age verification con

I think it's more trying to say, if an individual cannot support themselves or provide value to others who can support them then those other intangible factors don't matter too much. In the first world we have a ton of excess valu

Yes there's more red tape the larger you get but there's also working product(s) that when they're broken you stop making money. See recent Amazon outages caused by vibe/slop/movefast coding practices with little re

Unless you're covering 100% of edge/corner cases during planning (including roughly how they're handled) then there is still value in code reviews. You conveniently brushed this under the rug of pair programming but of the ha

I'm probably similar to you re: diet, but... If I eat perfectly clean for 90% of my diet and then I consume poison for the remaining 10%, that's still doing some damage. You can, however, be happy with the fact that 10% is better

I get where you're coming from but dishwasher is definitely a "could live just fine without." Fridge OTOH, not so much.

And the differentiator will be (even more than it is now) product vision since AI-enhanced engineering abilities will be more level.

You couldn't set up a lemonade stand using that principle let alone an entire society.

Speaking of fairytales, you're living in your own. Disconnecting value from productivity sounds good if you don't examine any of the consequences. Can you build a society from scratch using that principle? If you can't then w

Ok now say three things that Elon has accomplished successfully in the past few years. If you can't then you're just speaking from emotion because they obviously exist.

There are a ton of haters on HN that don't like Musk for no other reason than they were told not to like him.

You don't have to be a fanboy to respect outcomes. He's got a winning track record. You may not agree with his politics or his morals but that's separate from his effectiveness. Specifically he's effective at stepping ou

Not to be insensitive but you've described all the problems and the solutions. You're remote. You game. No hobbies. I don't think you mentioned your friends if you have any or not. Life is going to suck for a while and you&#x

From mine and plenty of others point view, US morals are on the rise. Go ask some Iranians (both in the US and in Iran) what they think about their leadership change. Same with Venezuelans.

Nazi Germany and Hitler didn't pose an existential threat to Europe until they did pose a threat. And even then you had politicians like Chamberlain in the UK who wanted to make peace because the UK wasn't directly threatened (thi

Technology and national defense are 100% part of the same conversation. I'm not saying the government can't overreach or over control, but if I or you or any of us were in charge of the defense of a country then we'd want to
