It's probably my Canadian experience talking, but this sentence: > 85% of graduates have less than $50,000 in student loans. Paid off over 20 years, that’s really not much. It is pretty terrifying that you manage to mentally justify

I think you're tinfoiling a bit hard here. My guess is that this is just a populist move, you left the country to fight with ISIS, well guess what, we aren't paying to bring you back and don't feel the need to get your out of

The comment we are replying to is pretty clear: > he said he tried with a couple patients but didn’t see any long term results so didn’t want to put me on it To me that's a very reasonable take if it's coming from a real psychi

Considering the comment you are replying to, that amounts to just "shopping" for a psychiatrist that will prescribe you the treatment you want and not the one you need. I can 100% get behind the idea that you want to find a psychi

I agree that non-competes being enforced are uncommon. I've never even heard of it happening in Canada. That being said, my contract with AWS stipulates that I can't work for their competitors, it's insanely wide so I don&#x2

I was giving you the benefit of doubt, but this comment shows that you've never watched any of Will's video and you are just painting with a very broad brush. He's the kind of Youtuber that keeps repeating that you should pla

Considering the locked up two Canadians in retaliation for Canada arresting Meng Wanghzu. I just don't see how I could go there and not have anxiety for the whole trip. It's a shame though, I always wanted to see China.

FWIW, I didn't mean to imply that you shouldn't comment on it. Just that in HN's "lore" saying that it's turning into reddit is a common theme. As to your comment itself, I don't think HN is degrading that

It's one of the weirdly polarizing HN topic, depending on who comments first you will have threads full of praise or threads full of straight hate for their product. FWIW: I like my Dyson handheld and it works well. We had one at my pa

True, but that's a bit like turning the problem on its head, the important part is that solar panels do help during California's peak, which wouldn't be true in most other places because the peak would be happening much after

This is an interesting issue because it's something I thought would happen at some point, but I just don't see how and why it would be applied to California. Grid-tied solar has an issue because they feed energy to the grid when t

I meant nothing was done w.r.t CO2/CH4-based global warming. I think some form of pollution (smog/acid rain/CFC) were tackled surprisingly efficiently because they didn't require a complete rethinking of our lifestyle.

The article mentions that Tyler makes $300k per year in merchandise alone (so excluding any actual sponsored content). Frankly I don't get why this can't be seen as a legitimate very successful business. Where is the line? Is ente
