Per HN guidelines, if you think there's some kind of organized abuse, you should report it to moderators [ instead of discussing it here]. My humble opinion is many people here are fed up with climate discussions, and see them as off-

>Is this a Silicon Valley thing? No. It's part of the planed 20/9 global CC strike, that was initiated by kids outside of US.

It's deeply depressing to see climate-related activities portrayed as political crusades , moreover on this forum! CC is not some subjective moral agenda we could disagree on. It's a scientifically proven disaster that had alrea

You don't pay the official consumer fee for such transactions, and you don't pay the stated exchange rate for exchanging $mm for other currencies.

It's a (thoughtful) list for the "senior engineer in 500+ heads company". If you work for a small startup (where you'll be forced to be "senior engineer" if you like it or not), you'll have no "manage

Yes, excuse the ambiguity. To me a philharmonic concert sounds... very different than recorded audio. I'm confident I can double-blindly 100% tell the difference. And so can everyone else. This is one experiment I'd be happy to

My prominent reading strategy is called (only by me I guess) skip and cut . I read the same way I listen to music - If something is boring I skip. If I skip too much I throw the book away for another. I'm not claiming this methodology

I’m all for charging fees (especially when the chargee is not me), but fees don’t put CO2 back in the ground.

He’s provably referring to ghg emissions, and sure no one pays that (it’s also not something we can conceivably pay for)

This reads like a satire. Inconceivable a scientist would say that.

Equally interesting - have you read the research that (dis)credits handwriting analysis, or you just unquestionably accept that it's nonsense? Similar to other personality-related pseudopseudosciences, there's enough contradicti

Ok. Put me in the internet trolls one, that seems the least offensive (I know this from 40 years of watching Holocaust Memorial Day movies)

When pension funds are not actuarily balanced, there are 3 options: raise the retirement age, reduce monthly payments, or borrow from future generations. It seems most countries go with the obviously wrong, yet politically plausible option

I don't think this way of organizing work is about maximizing individual productivity. It's more about the (forgotten?) idea that there's more into humans than being productive in some narrow scope.

I did not say anything about his opinion, I was referring to the comments, which for a platform that should be blocked in China, are surprisingly pro-China.

My YT overlord lately decided I should watch Jackie Chan commentates about the situation in Hong-Kong [0]. I was very surprised to see the English comments almost unanimously support China. Would have expected the opposite sentiment. [edit:

If you actually spent your entire days gardening, you'd soon feel an irresistible urge to bake a working docker-compose file. You'll procrastinate and dream about YAML files instead of paying attention to your plants. This is why
