I don't know why you are saying this, because all I did was say we should stop slavery. Whether or not we protect copyright or whatever, we definitely should stop slavery. Taking down a post isn't stopping slavery, it's insul

This is cool, but I was a little disappointed to see the amendments as just commits. Should have been pull requests, with all the proposed amendments in there, with arguments about them, most of the PRs closed, only a few getting merged :)

15 or so years ago I was in a remote African town and a local business had a picture of Gerald Ford up. Perplexed I asked why. The United States, I presume while Ford was president, had sent aid to build a bridge, some irrigation canals, an

The implication in the article is that the exhaust gases may not be as significant as the metallic debris that vaporizes in the atmosphere. It sounds very unnatural for the atmosphere to have to deal with this, but here’s an interesting quo

No way, this title is perfect HackerNews clickbait. I was baited, and I was not disappointed by the article. Or at least the abstract, which was as far as I got. TLDR: They figured out how to use tooth enable to make genetic associations be

I didn't say being more selfless meant becoming a slave to your employer. I clarified in another post that becoming more selfless can actually help you to leave a toxic environment too. Or maybe you might realize that you were part of

Thanks for the thoughtful response. I didn't mean that becoming selfless should make you more dedicated to your job. It might do that, depending on your job. But the main thing is that you can start to enjoy everything more, particular

Please understand that I am saying this in a compassionate, not a judgmental way. I think the key developmental step is to be able to get over yourself. I think this is a fundamental part in becoming a mature person. Many of us are forced t

One great side effect of paternal leave is that it removes a big reason to (consciously or unconsciously) discriminate against women when hiring, as anyone is almost equally likely to eventually take extended leave.

Seems like a lot of American companies have been working pretty hard to get around the sanctions to sell things to black listed Chinese companies. I would take that as pretty good evidence that American companies tend to be independent of t

I’m pretty sure it’s because it’s harder to detect individual stars the farther away from us they are. So you’d expect the stars they found to be clustered around us. We are in the center of that group. The simulation goes back in time to i

You can buy them in most MicroCenters today, if they did not all sell out. Amazon has a 3600 and Newegg has 3600 and 3700 but not 3800 and 3900 (don't know if they sold out or if they just don't have them yet). The short answer is

AMD has been shipping their new Epyc Rome server CPUs to hyperscalars for a few weeks now [1]. It seems to be a very appealing chip that a lot of them are adopting. They won't be the same as whatever they were using before, so it could

Not worth it. The cure is just as bad as the potential disease. On top of that, it probably doesn't even work. Time will tell. However the Uighyers felt about the Chinese before, now they will harbor a white-hot rage. This entire gener

My understanding of the structure of the arrangement when I first heard about it was that it was designed to not transfer IP, but to allow China to make their own chip, in a manner of speaking, without actually having the important IP. Ev

To say that this article is misleading is not enough. This article appears to be deliberately deceptive. Nissan Leafs are specifically known to have battery problems such that they lose a large percentage of their storage after a few years.
