You are not the only academic that feels this way.

Claims like this about UBI are simply unknown. You can't say it with any certainty, not even close. To begin to have UBI you'd have to increase taxes substantially, and you'd have to prove that doing that would actually lead

How did MMOs like Asheron's Call and Wow handle this?

It certainly depends on the area. I'm within about 2 miles of a Buddhist template and multiple mosques. There are another sixty churches in the same area, but it is what it is.

It used to frustrate me but now it just makes me laugh when I see people talk about Dallas, Houston like they aren't two of the more diverse and largest metros in the country.

I know people that worked at the pregnancy centers that get mocked. Those workers will often stay in contact with them well after the child is is born. Serious pro-lifers will dedicate their lives to it, they care about the babies more than

The use of THC does not mean you are impaired.

You say that but my exposure to Rust was through HN. That same team I'd sit down and chat with the CS PhD majors that were doing machine learning. It genuinely surprised me when a brilliant student said he'd never heard of Rust. T

Cannabis does and will have medicinal uses. The laws and and the mindset about it are going to vastly change. Delta-8 and all the other numbers are already legal in illegal states.

How often do you see Rust mentioned here? Rust's actual use in the industry is minimal. Yes, it's growing, but it's relatively unknown. The small academic team I was on wrote a stats app package using Mithril. Nobody's u

It's also a big part of the hype cycle that is an actual industry with Patreon etc now. The first rule you should remember when reading HN is the real world is not HN.

Sorry, I don't agree. I don't think cannabis is just a drug for having fun. I'm open to scientific studies that show that car accidents increase but your experience is yours and mine is mine. The people who have a problem wit

I mean about a decade ago I would have loved to live on the West Coast. I'm sure I'm no great loss to you but there are a lot of people that you just will never get. Not to mention, compared to a decade ago, the cities in my home

I don't disagree but being high is not a singular, impaired state.

I had a grandfather die of alcoholism. I'd much rather smoke pot than drink alcohol and long term it's almost certainly safer from what we can tell. It's also hard to be productive drinking but pot can have the opposite effec

There are lots of people you don't know that smoke pot regularly and you can't tell. I promise you.

There are plenty of things about my state that get hated on all the time, and deservingly so, but I'll never get how the West Coast is happy driving productive people away and coddling those that have no intention other than to fuck ov

Yes, and political scientists are aware of that. Note that much of the criticism is political: China, Russia, Iran. It definitely favors the west but despite the bogeyman a lot of academics just want good data. It also is not rating the US

It's no secret that the freedom of the 90s (gangsters running amok) led to the oligarchs and Putin. I mean Putin's chef, (owns Wagner) was in Soviet prison for pimping out minors.

He enjoys popular support partially because people feel like there's no point and because he poisons his political opponents.

There are systematic measures political scientists use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_House It's a shame that Durov can start off with "there are many studies" and not cite any of them. What?

You don't have to. I think there's a difference between that and chasing down posts on Facebook so you can gloat over their death.

It's full of hatred. I can understand being upset, but being so frustrated that you revel in the deaths of innocent people? These people are victims learning the most painful and lat lesson of their lives. Saying that the trash has bee

That's a huge part of this, a lot of the shaming is performative. It's less about the person and more about signaling.

Humans often aren't reasonable, but two things they respond poorly to are hate and shame.

Reddit has a subreddit dedicated to this. I understand the justifications and the frustration, but so much of that is people being hateful. I've seen everything from race, hair style, weight, religion, etc mocked because the people des

Not to be pedantic, but why do you say this? Is it really that visible?

Digg's highest buyout offer was 252 million and they were very much the big dog at the time.
