Sorry for the pedestrian comment, but, watching the cyberwars happening is surreal. Nuclear material production being attacked by Stuxnet, this current event, others I'm sure, is amazing. The cyberwars of disinformation as well - compl

The first amendment protects you from hosting content you don't want to host. Hosting providers must be allowed to remove content they don't want there or their rights are directly violated. Do you think that a site should be forc

PG's recent articles have changed from what they used to be. Recently (last few years) there is a dramatic change towards defending riches, logical fallacies to explain why being rich is okay, a lot of focus on wealth and how to get it

I have been anti Eich since I heard about all this. I dis-recommend Brave to everyone I know and will never support another Brendan Eich product again. I'm frequently surprised that the HN crowd largely seems to give him a pass on his

The word 'sorry' could go along way. But in this statement, ctrl+f for 'sorry' -> 0 results. Okay, let's try 'apologize' -> 1 result. > Some people could cope with this; others were hurt. I apolog

I was shocked reading your comment - how could you know about an incident that I thought only 2-3 people witnessed, an event where I was present but few other people were? Then I googled it, and it turns out that you are likely referring to

I have the opposite experience. To me, opening a PDF puts me on edge. My computer is likely to slow to a crawl. It never renders correctly - sometimes it will slowly render each page, one at a time, flashing the screen as it goes. Or maybe

How does that make this any less of a problem? What does "It auto generated a page for what people put as their employer" have to do with this being 'clickbait'? Article title and contents match up with each other perfec

Google is having trouble determining the date of reddit posts and is also making their filter rules useless. You try to filter last month, a result says 3 days ago and you click, but reddit says it was 2y ago!

Very real and have experienced it. There is a lot of privilege in running a startup, even a failed one, and few people who have gone through it. So finding help is hard because many people won't be sympathetic and nearly nobody will un

I don't know. You cited a youtube clip with usage of a word as a definition of a word, which I accept, actually, as an interesting and useful source. But you deny the wikipedia language I quoted as acceptable input to this conversation

Worth throwing out there that 'based' is a new-ish word and means different things to different people. As I have been discussing in this thread, my understanding of the definition of 'based' is something equal to cringe

I think you've got the definition of homeopathy incorrect. I checked wikipedia and it says, "Homeopathy or homoeopathy is a pseudoscientific system of alternative medicine." It does mean pseudoscience, specifically medicine,

FWIW, that video doesn't change the meaning of the word to me. Still means cringe/unpleasant/racist to me. Every time I've seen 'based' used, it is nearly always followed by something cringe, unpleasant, or rac

I've never heard based meaning 'cool'. It's always been a synonym for 'cringe' or 'unpleasant' or 'racist' to me.

Whole article is confusing and self contradictory on several fronts. Level 3 is described as decision-making, which is not specific enough to differentiate from any other self driving initiatives in production, including Tesla, the supposed

Confusing..Honda wants (ie specifically suggests) you to watch a DVD (???) while also asking you to pay complete attention to your surroundings. Not sure this messaging is safe, much less the car itself.

My understanding is that many survivors have long lasting physical hardships that impact their day to day health significantly, even a year after infection. Other second and third order effects could account for this as well.

What is voting then? Nobody's vote matters? Is democracy a sham to you? The math is simple though. Your vote is 1 added to a total. So is everyone's. The totals don't go above 0 tied with 0 based on your description. But clea
