3.70–3.80 for a Döner, that’s about on par with a Big Mac, though it will probably leave you feeling less hungry (a single Döner probably has less calories than a Big Mac and fries but more than a Big Mac).

That’s a completely different perspective to the German one, by the way. There just aren’t any sandwich shops in Germany (this is obviously hyperbole so don’t you dare correct me on this one) and Subway actually is pretty much unique in tha

Do you actually, like, really believe that?! That’s absurd. I mean, ok, as a political idea that can be powerful but I don’t see it having anything at all to do with the truth. It’s just absurd …

That is exactly as annoying and sucks every time. It’s so, so, so, so very irrelevant and uninteresting and so boring. If I could nuke only one thing on HN it would be … well, it would be the horrific sexism … but after that it’s pointless

This is someone who doesn’t owe you anything or want anything at all from you tell an interesting story. If they were using morse code it wouldn’t matter – so no, you shouldn’t say that. (It’s always the same, boring, irrelevant talk about

That’s a really boring opinion that is tremendously uninteresting and completely unsurprising. I do not know why anyone feels the need to express an opinion so utterly boring and predictable. It’s just cliche, zero substance. I mean, if you

From all I know DNA replication has a very low error rate. I’m not a biologist, so I lack the expertise to accurately judge papers about this topic, but the one I found (through looking the topic up on Wikipedia) suggests a very low error r

You are not. Typography is an extremely constrained design space with tons of little details and small differences. If you constrain yourself to readable type suitable for use on screen the space gets smaller, still. That’s why I love it. Y

Yeah, this is just an attempt to imply some sort of consensus while shielding yourself from any disagreement, a way of enlarging your own opinion into something bigger than it really is. It’s not that simple.

My own guiding principle here is that everyone deserves a life in dignity, unemployed or employed. You are of course completely correct that we also suck at insuring that for the unemployed. I mean, I’m more than happy to consider solutions

And the adjustment period can be longer than a human lifetime … so those people are just screwed. That’s no way to go about this. Obviously, not increasing efficiency would be bone-headed, but it is centrally important to create a socially

Apple charges something like $120 for changing the battery out. Not worth the stress to micromanage that, really not. It’s never about $2000.

Well, simple alternate solution, require total salary transparency. Sure, it’s possible to get better at negotiation, but why require that? It’s quite pointless. Also, this seems like a good solution to several thoroughly and inherently unf

Rethinking capitalism seems like the only option, then. (Well, this shouldn’t be surprising … it’s been happening ever since the start of the industrial solution. Markets are pretty awesome and can be extremely useful, no doubt. However, I

Apparently the other crew (flight attendants) knows that code, too. I think it’s unlikely everyone would forget it.

I think the assumption was always that incapacitated pilots (e.g. because of a medical issue) would be the issue that would require someone to enter the locked cockpit. For those cases the procedure works as intended (the door can be opened

That’s just you getting old, I think? Also, I’m not really sure what the medium has to do with that.

Hihi, I have exactly the opposite impression of you re: views on Apple. In my mind a clear and overwhelming majority on here dislikes Apple very much or is at least very critical of Apple (even though they may still use their products). A s

The interesting question, however, is not that. It’s whether that complete disruption is a worthwhile tradeoff. We make those tradeoffs all the time and just saying there is disruption is really not enough …

You are just confused about how parliamentary democracies with proportional representation work. What you are spreading – this simple truth – is also very much a myth. The whole story is complex and full of details. Was Hitler’s rise to pow

Funny how tastes differ. I certainly wouldn’t disagree that the US has great architecture (such a rich, diverse, and big place is practically guaranteed to have that), though the examples you picked seem like the blandest bombast ever to me

Elegant, easy to maintain, fixes a real problem … Wow. I mean, it’s right there. Right there! Suddenly it’s no longer black and white.

No, if it does work people will tell you that your code just sucks and is really awful and bad and you are terrible and suck at this … Your perspective here is absurdly reductionist and doesn’t reflect any reality anyone lives in. It’s no

Huh? That’s just an incoherent statement. You are inventing false dichotomies. That’s just so absurd.

Eh … if you need a dongle maybe it’s just not, you know, for you? What a novel concept! I practically never plug anything into my laptop except the charging cable. I suspect there are many people like me out there. This one is for use, not

Actually it’s used as a bludgeon to kill all debate, not something to strive towards. The point that’s always made is that something already is this magical and perfect meritocracy with the selection process already working perfectly. The t

Meritocracy is a bullshit term. It does not exist in reality. It’s an illusion, a joke.

Uhm, I’m real confused. Why do you talk about “try to join nerd communities” with regard to the dongle thing? Do you know something we don’t? That seems more like a policy of exclusion from your side – ala obviously a real nerd wouldn’t e

Well, some people do not see jobs as purely transactional … For me employers clearly have a responsibility to take care of their employees. They are not robots, they are people and they have to be treated as such. It‘s an ethical question.
