The point is that the country is no wealthier in either scenario, yet people use GDP as a proxy for the productive output and wealth of a country.

Yeah, if anything the value of this submission is now in how absurd the headline is. It appears they knew it was such nonsense that they had to throw in a sub headline that immediately clarifies the absurd bullshit they put in the headline.

I agree with the counter-conclusion you propose, which is that these international laws need not apply to Americans either. (Although I agree with the notion, in a reply, that they aren't 'real' or binding law anyway.) It&#x2

> Why should an agency be allowed to spy on non-americans more anyway? Non-Americans don't have the same rights as Americans. They may also be looked at more in a more adversarial manner. I'm not suggesting this is right, just

Oh good, the commie brigade is here to tell us you have to pay individuals enough to live in a certain size apartment in the center of the city, while raising three kids as a single parent, and have more leftover for hobbies. And if these p

It does change the 'point' considering they're reducing spending both in terms of workers and shareholder payouts. To not include, explicitly, that they reduced the dividends gives the reader the impression that the only thin

Personally, this watch seems pretty cool and right in the niche of what I would want in terms of 'dumbness' and also aesthetic, and the battery life does not sound intolerable to me. But $300 sure is a lot for it, although my impr

Most links on HN don't interest me, and they don't bother me either, but the shilling for Bluesky has been quite apparent lately. If anything, their presence is more indicative of a hivemind than my eagerness for them to go away.

I don't know exactly what would happen, but I assume they'd get a collection agency to harass you for it, or possibly sell the 'debt' to one. Suing you would be more effort than it's worth.

Cameras can just recognize humans, so a lot of the N hours can be removed simply by detecting human activity and without using facial recognition. It's still quite practical. I have cheap Wyze cameras that allow me to do this. It would

Every time someone says "stress test", I will point out that the stress tests did not model for interest rates rising like they did, which triggered the current problems we're having (or, really, interest rates being so low f

The absurdity of referring to the stress tests and then refusing to understand what's in them is on you. You call it a "violent" reaction and talk about my "faith based" reality. Yet I'm the one who just read t

I cited the stress tests that you were referring to. Do you have anything to say about the fact that the stress tests did not model reality? Did you read tables 2.A and 3.A in the stress tests document? If you're so eager to bring up t

Then the CPI should never be used to say, "This home worth ~$30k in 1958 is worth ~$300k today," when such a statement is so blatantly inaccurate.
