Just living without dying is not a good life. If anyone wants to stop suicide they should prevent the root cause that leads to it, not just stop giving a less painful way to do so. It's inhuman and many forced to die horribly because o

Completely disagree. You do whatever with your own life. But kid is a 3rd person that you bring. If the life they are coming to is already bad, financially, legged behind from others in many ways, or any other, that's selfish. Forcing

It is bad. Only one species destroying ecosystem all other species, does not matter if only one species got benefit. Period. Humans thinking, they own Earth and can do whatever they want even if it kills everything else can never be regarde

Makes sense because rich business owners helping other rich people is a thing. These are not landlords, they are big companies.

Parents should not have undue influence on other's (the kid) life as they wish by giving a stupid name. Instead parents should change their own name to xxx if they like it so much.

There is no need for names to evolve. Based on what you said, let the kid have a proper name and then they themselves can change to weird as they wish later. Stupid parents have no right to give a stupid joke name to others.

I have much more real and honest interaction meeting physically people whome I don't know from childhood. Online it's all a pretentious character acting.

Weight being mostly of muscle is different than mostly of fat. When we say obese, it's the later one.

Just want to make another suggestion. Ink tank printers are also good, can print coloured prints for cheap. We have one and just need to buy the inks and pour the ink into the tanks of printer.

> came out somewhere between 38~39 hours Also worked more than 40 hrs full concentration work for few weeks, but that soon burned me out. Now I can't do that more than a day and don't ever want in future.

Once in a while it might be true. But this post is about job. Doing that for 8-16 hrs often will burn out and later I'd avoid such jobs.

Most people don't know all the details. They see news that court did not find any evidence and that's all they hear. Everyone wants to stay in a bubble of their liking.

Not always. Said by people who worked at tesla/spacex, many engineers and tech people have to dance around, present correct decisions such a way that the asshat at top realises it and does it. Lots of theatre. If they don't do tha

I would have chosen not to be born. People here are privileged, live in a better country, good income etc. Because they have better life, they expect others also to say it's great. Many children are born without proper thinking by thei

It's should not be necessary for all to give feedback for basic things and developers who have no idea about design should not change design.

Yes, this is the main reason for me. I can backup and restore data of any app, on different phone. Another reason is XPrivacy Lua. Nothing beats it from privacy point.

HN is rich and detached from reality in other parts of the world. People still have to manage their savings to buy storage in non rich world.
