Obama withdrew all US funds from UNESCO in 2011 as well, due to Palestine being admitted in. This isn't anything particularly noteworthy, just more capitulating to Israel, which is annoying.

I remember being in school in 2006 and being told that outside of our solar system is a "wall of fire" that we would never be able to cross. I don't know if any of this info was speculated at that point in time, but it turns

It's honestly one of the better ones I've tried for general questions. I saw it used in a blind competition against ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, and amongst people who didn't use LLMs frequently, it was the most favored for 4

Criticizing Mao is "Holocaust apologia" because killing 45,000,000 of his citizenry was just an accident? More people died then than during the Holocaust. More people dying is objectively worse, no matter how you slice it.

That's actually a genius idea in the worst way possible!

That actually checks out. If you take the median U.S. household income ($74,580) and factor in the effective tax rate (10.9%), eliminating federal income taxes would save the average household $8,167.50 per year. Subtract the $3,488.27 in e

24% of the country is malnourished and 4% of children die before their 5th birthday. This feels like misaligned priorities... https://www.globalhungerindex.org/botswana.html

Yes, I'm aware of that. My point was that SpaceX has said they've had to do this, and if it sounds so wacky that that's unbelievable, there are actually photos of the same thing happening with seals, so I feel very little nee

Yes, when you get 49.8% of the vote and your opponent gets 48.3%, you have won the popular vote, since 49.8% is more than 48.3%.

The company I work for has been using ElevenLabs to translate hour-long programs into Spanish, French, Portuguese, Greek, German, and Chinese. We have a large international audience, so it's worked great for this purpose! Before, we we

I have to be honest— keeping your startup in Europe is, more often than not, a recipe for failure. The regulatory burden, risk aversion, and fragmented markets make scaling nearly impossible. Even China fosters more innovation these days. E

The HN response to all this has actually been very strange to me. From my perspective, this presidency, and especially Musk working on DOGE, should be one of the most exciting, positive things discussed on here! I would've thought this

I vote for those who lie to me the most convincingly about having my family's best interest at heart, and who claim to have goals for the country that align with my values. That's about the best any of us can do.

You cannot reason someone out of a position they haven't reasoned themselves into. Politicians lie, constantly. All of them. Yes, even the ones you like. Saying Republicans lie and Democrats don't is practically self-propagandizin
