> I'm going to keep saying it - unionising has been a bad stratagy that loses. Perhaps rather than repeating yourself, you should consider defining what you mean by losing and backing up your claim with data.

Even more fascinating are the followup tweets in which they elaborate that it is a drop in basal energy expenditure responsible for these drops in the total rather than (as I, at least, was expecting) a drop in active energy expenditure

Why didn’t you simply answer the question?

Great, this means we never have to hear about Elon Musk ever again, right?

Probably! But I suspect most people regardless of age don't listen to prog rock and don't read as a hobby, regrettably.

Absent any real data -- which currently no post in the thread contains -- this seems like it just reduces to "What stereotypes do you hold about people younger than you?"

> IMHO something about 10,000 sqft yards and deep setbacks destroys any hope for communities. It certainly does not intrinsically do so; this was absolutely not my experience growing up in suburbia, and I don't appear to be alone in

Ah, that's a fair point! I meant I was unusual in that I live in a suburb now, not that it was unusual to grow up in a suburb.

I've been working remotely since long before the pandemic; perhaps my experience at remote-friendly companies has skewed my experience, as only a minority of my coworkers are in the bay area. I'd say the mode for my coworkers is l

You could very well be right; I was just putting together a gut feeling about the HN community and anecdotal knowledge of where my coworkers in the industry live.

For what it's worth, as the rare suburbanite HNer, I fondly recall my family having the same sort of relationships with neighbors in the late 80's and 90's; unfortunately the same just doesn't seem to happen even in soci

Ah yes, heaven forfend the Democrats object to putting Nixon’s hatchetman on the supreme court. How dare they corrupt the process by not allowing an unethical criminal with utter disregard for democracy on the court!

Well, we already know of one case in which he failed to disclose a “necessary disclosure” - I agree he probably maintained his one third share until selling it to Crow, but given his behavior it’s not exactly unreasonable to question whethe

You don't see a link between a police force which actively rejects duty to protect and a police force that doesn't value prevention? It certainly seems to me that a police force which refuses to prevent crimes that are being carri

Police departments have fought legal battles specifically to avoid having any duty to protect civilians or to prevent a crime in progress if they so choose.[0] I do agree with you that they (not just in SF, but across America broadly) have

I have to admit, I was a bit worried about what impact LLMs would have on the labor market in the near future, but seeing how concerned Eliezer Yudkowsky is has completely assuaged those worries.

By the same reasoning, one shouldn’t build a company based on any API, regardless of whether it’s free or paid; the existence of a paid API does not automatically guarantee any future pricing or even availability. One could build a company

Let’s not forget, there were also many people on HN predicting at various times during the buyout that: * Musk would somehow weasel his way out of the contract * Musk would demonstrate that Twitter had lied to the SEC about bot numbers * Mu

The policy isn’t intended to actually be enforced at scale; it’s just a petty post hoc rationalization for banning @ElonJet.

Clever approach! You can extend it to all even dimensions by following the same approach to get: P[point inside 2n-ball] = (π/4)^n P[x1 + x2 + ... + xn < 1 | x ~ U([0,1]^n)] Instead of the area below a triangle we have the volume in

I wonder if it would be possible to store the lights in a 4d spatial data structure with the fourth dimension being intensity, and then find the k nearest neighbors as defined by something akin to the minkowski metric?
