50 years? I have noticed that slate roofs are much more common in the UK than the US but still I see majority asphalt shingles, curious what y'all call them, on single family homes built within the last couple hundred years. I wish y&#

Where is the USB C on my iphone? Why do I need a dongle to connect my brand new I phone to my brand new MacBook? Why do the headphones that came with my iPhone not work in my MacBook? Why does my magic mouse not charge via USB C? My keyboar

I'm not quite clear on your point, are you implying that if Snowden had more perspective on the subject he wouldn't have become a whistleblower? The second half of your first paragraph suggests otherwise so I'm kinda confused

Why do you view this as admirable? I view it similarly to creating a large cache of explosives and munitions and then giving them away for free. Sure a lot of people might have some fun with them on the weekend but the largest impact of thi

I find myself, when I have the choice, always gravitating to Google maps on my laptop. Enough that it frustrates me how far behind the web version is in terms of features compared to mobile. My mouse is far more accurate than my finger and

I think you're missing the point, it is foolish, it doesn't map to reality, but that doesn't make it maladaptive. The point here is that the maladaptive group, depressed people, see the world closer to its real state, clearly

I stepped on a piece of metal in FiDi and in my limp to the ER to get it removed I thought long and hard about how much I like wearing sandals and what works have happened if that was a needle. I don't anymore in the city.

If I ever retire and become a cult leader this is my pet religion, I call it Vennism. Combine all the teachings and trim away those teachings that aren't common, what you're left with seems like it would probably be a good religio

This is the second time I think I've seen this on hackernews in two days, no one is conflating the two anymore or less than when someone says, "America runs terrorist campaigns in the Middle East." People understand that the

That's a totally fair point, I think maybe since 1980's might be more accurate? In my experience, and this is mostly for Chinese who fled to either Hong Kong or the US at some point in their lives, if they are >40 years old the

I think I wasn't clear, the Opium Wars reference was to the US and Canada's current opioid problem wherein the bulk of fentanyl is being imported to the US from China. Given how tightly the Chinese government controls domestic dru

I said a similar thing yesterday but I think it has become clear that importing from China was mostly fine for our country, debatable on the lost jobs and environmental part sure, but exporting to China was a poison pill that we never shoul

It's very interesting that "non-respectable" Trey Parker and Matt Stone responded in the morally correct way and the NBA decides to kiss the feet of despots. Pretty disgusting really. It really shows that the dream of liberal

Nobody? Anybody with capital wants a recession, assets become cheaper, labor becomes cheaper, never let a good crisis go to waste and all that. If you had $100 million in cash in 2008 you could buy up real estate for 10-20% off and be very

My guess is very few people knew that AMT was a thing and/or didn't have enough liquid cash to buy at the time. Had I know that in a few years I'd have a tax bill in the tens of thousands of dollars I'd have taken a loan

About $4,400 per year per employee globally. A large amount of money to most McDonald's workers in the US and an life changing amount of money for a worker in say India.

So instead of a foot on a pedal connected mostly directly to the brakes, it is a finger on the button of a phone app over the internet? That is madness, imagine if your car's brake pedal had to go over the public internet and instead o

Surely you're just trolling the majority users of this site? UK's vacation minimums dwarf the grand total of zero in America. Granted 10 days per year is fairly standard amongst most careers in the US.

I'm a big fan of the idea of codifying software "engineers" more clearly. When an architect, civil engineer, or doctor put their stamp on a job they are both civilally and in some cases criminally liable for that work. As suc

I believe they meant underappreciated by the general public when assessing differing outcomes or new policy ideas. Clearly capital owners don't underappreciate capital.
