Most people have things in their home, that they paid for, that have negative utility. Televisions, video game consoles, etc. A 1/2 oz gold coin is a superior investment to a PlayStation 5. Sure, it won't generate any yield, and

You can't have this discussion on HN. It is firmly established precedent here that murdering people and burning down buildings is a superior form of protest to slightly inconveniencing commerce. I don't know what you thought you&#

Copper and stainless steel invariably get food adhered to them very well. (Try cooking eggs in stainless steel) A properly-seasoned cast iron pan is, in many ways, like a teflon-coated one. So, I suppose my comment would go for teflon-coate

You're talking about a surface that gets hot enough to kill every possible pathogen on it every time you use it. Scrape-and-wipe is about 90% of my cast iron "cleaning". I only take it to the sink occasionally.

There's a fairly easy physical mitigation for this. Once DIMMs are seated, secure the ends with superglue, then brush conformal coating over the bus traces. The second step is likely not even necessary if the motherboard is a 4 layer p

I'm not sure why you thought it would be any different. What the original article misunderstands is that there is no incentive for the stay-at-home partner to contribute. They don't have to do housework, because at the level of yo

It's not anti-military, it's anti military suppliers who won't sell to civilians, even when there is no legal restriction preventing it. H&K, Anduril, Boston Dynamics, are just a few examples of companies who have entire

It feels wrong, yes. But it's something that needs to be answered one way or another. One issue is that even conducting research into the question is anathema, so all we're going to do is argue about it based on a handful of pre-2

As an aside, but related to this topic, I can't wrap my head around on how one can purchase an apartment. My house's warranty deed explicitly defines the property I own, with references to plat maps that have very specific surve

Materialism has long been a driver of human behavior, and children are no exception. The only thing that's changed is the migration of children from net capital assets for the family to net cost centers. The same thing has happened to

This happens, yes, But oftentimes preppers start off from rational or at least semi-rational bases, but then entrench themselves in the psychology you describe due to the sunk-cost fallacy. For example: let's say you bought into Matt S

To be pedantic, Go strings are immutable and will carry different pointers to different underlying rune slices, so the reader would just display one string or the other, not "Susan Sarcemin". That said, I'm not sure why devel

I have nothing to say about this particular drug, but it's without a doubt that the FDA carries water for the pharma industry. My own personal anecdote is that I've been taking NMN as a dirt-cheap supplement for years, until recen

Some people are just ugly. And physical attractiveness is the number one criterion for partner selection, in both men and women[1]. I agree with you that paraplegics who haven't won any footraces is a huge red flag, Fuck those people.
