I think it's rare, at least in the US, to find people who are aware of how fucked up capitalism is. Or have ever given any real thought to how ethical it is. But its atrocities are all around us in plain sight, every time someone dies

This isn't entirely accurate. We will not be able to visit the vast majority of the universe even given infinite time if we are not able to travel faster than light. Like 94% of the universe is unreachable without FTL, even without tim

I'm a software architect and really want to transition to AGI work. I feel like it's the most meaningful area of advancement I can work in. Any advice on how to get involved without being a software developer? I refuse to go back

I dislike that this is downvoted. I think it's a meaningful question. If I could spend a 1% of my net worth to ensure my closest friends and family never had to work again, and that 1% had no meaningful difference in my own quality of

It's pretty simple to me. If I give something to someone else to take care of, like a stack of magazines, and make no effort to conceal the magazines when I give it to them - they're going to see what magazines I have. We understa

computers require peripherals much more than phones, which usually require none. they were going to have to add USB C anyway, and apple is all about reducing ports, so they kept just the USB C

Same. Works perfect for me. It uses way more battery life on my M1 Macbook Air than Safari, which I wish wasn't the case. But I refuse to use Chrome because of Google's awful privacy track record.

The the US government allows these stats to be researched at all, much less put into writing. It's always been obvious the vast majority of deaths in US involvement overseas are innocents, including a lot of women and children. The 90%

I'm amazed at the lengths people go to bring Elon in on discussions. Can we get Elon Derangement Syndrome in the DSM?

No but their community or local government can and will. Internet access has monumental positive impacts for an economy and $1500/$100month is such a small amount of money for a city or communtiy resource for the expected return. No, i

What a surprise, the entire media history against Assange is a bunch of bullshit. Blows my mind that people can be so critical of mainstream media and doubt everything they say, but suddenly believe them 100% when it comes to something like

I comment when knowingly being uninformed because the resulting discussion is what helps me understand the topic better. The result of this, looking back on my comment history, is that I can come across as a bit of an asshole who's oft

If I had to guess, they're measuring 2x based on the cab alone - no trailer. I would guess the combination of 2k fewer pounds and better weight distribution would potentially do it? Not sure.

Counterpoint: the tiny turbine Jay Leno has in his motorcycle is tremendously louder than even the loudest semi truck.

Yeah, but how many of them can accommodate several trucks coming through each taking 150 gallons?

I don't think HN could ever do this as long as it's associated with YC. It would be hypocritical of YC to be against paywalls and advertising if they have funded, or will fund, a business model that relies on it.

I appreciate the thought. As a note, I didn't downvote you (and couldn't, it doesn't allow it on children of one's parent comment)

Wouldn't the commonality of singing and dancing be much more likely the result of it being a social behavior, and social behaviors increasing the odds of reproducing? This is true even today - dance clubs are still one of the best ways
