> People, in general, don't enjoy when powerful monopolistic entities directly ration access to goods & services based on immutable characteristics such as race. How would you describe current health insurance systems?

Also, "the hard part" is understanding the system--therefore, shouldn't we optimize that part to make it less hard?

Great work creating value for your coworkers. That said, I think `self-documenting code` is the bare minimum in 2022. At my current role, I'm pushing the org to become "documentation first"--but this goes way outside the scop

Maybe for someone who is paying close attention, or even works in the industry, this distinction can be made. And that's valid for now . That a company has not had a major accident so far does not mean that I'm not going to be th

yeah I am still confused because in the first part there's jumpy graphics and in the second part there are stable graphics, and I'm not sure if this represents a change over time, or different vehicles, or what

Uh... people have already been killed by autonomous cars. And they're very new. I don't think it's funny/weird at all that someone would be nervous about being in front of one, without an airbag.

Many people seem really careless with their children on the road. Another example is walking out into a crosswalk with a stroller without looking both ways. Yes, it's my responsibility to slow down. But for god's sake don't a

I really want this, too. I highly depend on eye contact with other drivers for safety.

This is interesting. Not too long ago, the designer of r/place and other interesting Reddit experiments departed, then created Wordle. Now, they're re-hashing an experiment for the first time.

This sucks to say, but I don't like it very much. It lacks contrast and lacks space between lines. Additionally, clicking on the comments just brings me back to HN. Good job putting something out there.

As an early career developer I feel helpless with the vast world of cyber security looming all around me, and not that many people thinking very much about it. It feels kind of like COVID in 2022. Obviously everywhere. Probably not going to

Depends a lot on the context. Is an actor who plays a mentally ill person therefore mentally ill? Also, there are many kinds of mental illness. Perhaps a person who is depressed and anxious pretends to be a person who cannot think coherentl

This gets at what I was talking about. I think people in other regions have also suffered greatly. This is not to detract from the suffering of the Ukrainians, but is just to clarify the facts.
