"If you think that talking to a compassionate human is a core part of the banking experience, there are many banks in Iowa who will sell that service to you. If you simply want to access your money on your phone and have that almost al

It's easy to pay for YouTube premium and remove ads. So why not do that?

Hiding behind theories of consumer behavior is not an excuse for immoral actions. Open source was never meant to be the place where open theft and piracy should thrive. And, the Robinhood sentiment isn't really applicable here because

I like YouTube Premium. It's worth it. For a bunch of tech people... Wouldn't we see more people wanting to pay for software, a service and intellectual property?

I'm still waiting for this too... I suspect I will be waiting a very long time.

It's literally the second hardest thing to do after the biking/running/swimming/skiing itself. Fueling is the operational excellence challenge of endurance sports.

Many places to start, but I would say SN lacks a strong engineering culture, so everything is driven by sales and profit. That means updates come every 6 months with "features" that will never get proper support. It's shiny t

I tend to prefer Google over other docs tools. Occasionally I hear that people feel it's terrible, but I don't understand why. Would you mind sharing a few things that bug you the most?

I also started a series of gravel bicycle races. Sometimes starting something you love is a great way to gather like minded people. https://iowagravelseries.com/

Church. Religion is a practice, find good people to practice good things with.

Yeah it could be with some managers. But, I've met Vint, asked him to sign a copy of his TCP/IP paper and even asked him if he'd get Robert Kan's signature and he did it. He's an incredibly nice and sincere human an

Why is it that the people following the news hosted by a company focused on entrepreneurship and start-ups is surprised and arguing how weird a region is? All markets are weird in their own way. It sounds like there's an opportunity he

I lived in Ulan Ude, a predominantly Buddhist town and province of Russia near Lake Baikal. Lots of people, when asked their faith, would say "shamanism". But that was a cultural hint and misnomer. People would practice their reli

As a practicing Christian and member of the church of Jesus Christ I was taught, and teach regularly, to question everything. Questions are how we build understanding and faith. The last chapter of the Book of Mormon is an admonishment to r

Not exactly correct. The Mission Training Center has only missionaries of the church attend for language training. But, Special Forces and many other agencies have studied and patterned their own language training off of the MTC model.

The LDS Church doesn't have a record keeping tool like this and it is intentional. We believe in repentance and records like that can often get in the way of the repentance process

No it's not. The church owns a lot of property and has many high profile leaders. Church security does not do anything close to police work on/for parishioners.

Lots of messy things at that time. For example, it was legal to kill a member of the church of Jesus Christ (i. e. Mormon ) in Missouri from 1838 to 1976. Doesn't make it right, but there were a lot of difficult relationships https:&#

As a member of the church that also served a mission in Russia, this all checks out. Putin's government and the Russian Orthodox church were incredibly brutal towards outside religions.

For a business to survive it needs competition. You could argue it was necessary to create competition in the AI space before business needs arise that Google could provide. Without competition, there's no way for the market to rise to

As I look at the other examples given here and reflect on my own Christian beliefs, I see a common understanding that compassion or active empathy involves action. Sympathy is nice, but it seems most folks here agree it is at the level of u

Am I naive about the ability of an AI to do anything other than respond to commands? At what point does an AI start functioning completely on its own, autonomously, out of control or beyond interaction with another system that can then shut

My opinion is that people that already have kids and aren't afraid of managing/parenting children while WingFH have more availability and less stress. Less affluent and people with no kids are using their time elsewhere, which sou

Chains don't stretch, they wear down. When measuring a chain, you measure the distance between links to see how much material has worn away. The links don't actually get longer from stretching. https://youtu.be/gXd

Almost the exact same thread and thoughts shared on the tweet are here too... Interesting stuff. I wouldn't think Twitter and HN would be so closely aligned.
