> a 17yo woman doesn’t qualify as a child What? 17-year-olds are still in high school. They probably just barely got a driver’s license. They can just barely see an R-rated movie without a guardian. They can’t even sign waivers to give t

I am absolutely floored by your comment. I sincerely hope that it is parody. Jeffrey Epstein was convicted in 2008 of soliciting a prostitute and of procuring an underage girl for prostitution. He plead guilty and was convicted. How much mo

I did not say I want illegal immigration to be legal. I agree with nemothekid’s other reply. As I said earlier, nothing exists in a vacuum. I am arguing that the U.S. government’s immigration enforcement apparatus is consistently unjust. Sa

MLK said something along the lines of, there is no problem with just laws (such as those upholding border security), but there is a problem when they’re applied unjustly. There is nothing wrong, all other things being equal, with enforcing

Not sure if you’re joking, but I think “moving fast and breaking things” is a bit of an understatement. I mean Vader enabled a heartless dictator to take over the galaxy and personally saw to it that a whole planet of billions of people ble

But the difference is that Han came around at the end of A New Hope , joined the Rebellion, and saved Luke’s ass, which lead to the Death Star’s destruction. This proved he wasn’t a complete scoundrel and had good within him. Uber’s corpor

Or maybe - just maybe - Tesla is actually a poorly run business that objectively has seen a dip over time in stock price and tremendously wasteful spending (see nearly empty Buffalo gigafactory or the highly automated assembly line for Mode

This is frankly ridiculous. Conservatives at the National Review - of all people - should understand that consequences exist and should be meaningful. If Kevin Hart made homophobic comments in the fairly recent past, why should we assume he

I think this is kind of the point. If Google’s broad portfolio of products are so coupled together that they massively leverage data/technology from their other products to the point where no startup can meaningfully compete with any o

I think a lot of discussion I have seen online has overlooked the importance of the phased array antennas, which are too large to make Starlink practical for someone using a phone or laptop on the go. However, it would be very convenient fo

No one is talking about the other companies. Here is a hot take: companies which are currently selling insulin are ripping people off. People are suffering as a result. Whether or not other companies could conceivably produce insulin is irr

“This is not a coherent position. By this logic, every single person who is _not_ making insulin (people like you and me) are also guilty of committing mass murder.” This is ridiculous. Pharma companies, unlike you and me, have the ability&

Yeah, I absolutely agree that there is tension in the hacker community and that the aims of many self-proclaimed hackers is basically getting rich. I’ve seen a number of “Ask HN” posts essentially asking, “How can I get money fast using tec

No one person is the "arbiter" of what hackers should think. That's ridiculous. But cultural norms exist. The hacker subculture (which also exists) has norms that trend towards making decisions based on merit and skill, whil

We've come full circle. I never thought I would see someone unironically support monarchy in 2019, much less cite Hans Hermann Hope as an actual source. Hacker News! A place for hackers, people who want freedom to explore new technolog

I have been using https://github.com/miromannino/miro-windows-manager for several months now. It is a plugin for Hammersppoon on macOS that lets you resize and organize windows using the keyboard. It’s worked really we
