I'm glad I found this thread and thank you for not self censoring this time. I've very often done the same. And yes, the vBulletin style forums is something I really miss.

Why the downvotes? I am a Hindu and this is a sincere answer and actual way of having influence on where you're born. Any other ideas?

Probably the time investment. It takes a lot longer for trees to be ready for harvest.

Eh... The moderator transparency here is very low. Even reddit has moderation logs.

Why didn't you restore the original comment? It doesn't seem to break any rules. The most frustrating aspect of HN is that there is no easy way to have meta discussion about the rules or the actions of users.

I legally changed my name two years ago and I still get recruiting emails addressed to my old name. It hasn't been on LinkedIn for equally as long, so I can only anticipate that my data was sold and my old name is cached in some databa

Well, repairable is a spectrum and for someone inexperienced it sounds quite daunting to repair their fridge's power supply. However the repairability that e.g. a Framework laptop has (swapping out new parts) is much simpler and requir

Yeah, surprised it's not flagged. I am vegan but arguing about it online just isn't worth it, so I'll grab some (vegan) popcorn with you.

You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, th

Can you even really blame the consumers? That's like blaming the birds who eat at bird feeders instead of the people who put out bird feeders in cities [1]. Blame the corporations and builders. [1] Bird feeders can contribute to the de

I like the analogy your comment has inspired: JS is the Excel of programming.

This is a well reasoned perspective. After async/await I stopped obsessively keeping up with new JS features. The biggest thorns were gone. Regarding classes, intuitively I agree, but I'm curious about your reasoning.

I was hospitalised for a month and didn't ask any questions, because I couldn't - I was dying. But if I had more capacity I would have requested vegan options. Once I came to I did refused any non vegan hospital food - which meant

Maybe you could at least address the points I gave instead of plainly ignoring them and repeating the same argument? I already addressed this - we aren't in tribal times. We can even grow organs in the lab. We can also coordinate com

Maybe I can add some nuance as a vegan (I'm vegan btw, and I use Arch btw). I think that it's amazing that this is possible, but where it seems unethical to me is that there still are many other ways we could route heart transplan
