Interesting question, useless article.

I'm not necessarily sure "participation in a group with a view to committing violent acts" needs to describe a thoughtcrime. Even the most liberal societies criminalize conspiring to commit or inciting violence, even if they

(Or a distributed system - this is no trickier to migrate away from SPOF than anything else with global state.)

Opposite experience here, I've never seen a siphon design in the US (single or dual flush). I would have thought approximately all our toilets (outside of high-pressure toilets in non-residential settings) had a rubber flap at the bott

People measure many things. For example, you mention that debt isn't considered here; wealth metrics are widely studied, the poverty line just doesn't happen to be a wealth metric, but rather an income measure. I am not sure I ful

Wow, you're really picky.

> Man-made vs natural isn't a matter of morality or anything, it's just about whether we can do something to avoid our destruction Your last paragraph points out that this isn't the case.

To be frank, with that attitude, we'd never make better decisions ever. We'd always see that things get complicated quick. Things ARE complicated. Teams spend time navigating the questions and coming up with their best answers - t

Soft drinks, booze, etc. are really harmful, but at least they have a value add that makes shipping them around coherent. Bottled water is a different matter. Obviously we should be discouraging the use of soda and alcohol and such.

Certainly not broke, but it seems difficult to find a way without hyperbole to indicate that he's given away billions and now is no longer in the top 10% of people in his age bracket in the US.

This is a common viewpoint, but quite different from OP's. $5000 can save a person from Malaria or it can buy all the history teachers at a first world school document cameras. No doubt, both are worthy causes, but if you are choosing

This isn't a particularly strange situation, lots of folks have Macs and Android phones, especially among the sort of folks who are on HN. Not every product needs to have a total addressable market of billions.

That actually is uncommon in NYC - very few yellow cab medallions are owned by small timers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicabs_of_New_York_City says "most medallions (and most cabs) are owned by investment co

These trees have made it through fires before and many of them will make it through again. The forest is a living thing, and this destruction is part of it. I haven't been to Big Basin since the winter because of COVID -- it was closed
