This site is amazing! Thank you! For those who loved the Andrew Lang rainbow-color fairy tale books, Lang also published a volume of The Arabian Nights, not a translation but a recounting of selected tales. I encountered the Richard Burto

Wait. If we are an algorithm, then it is repeatable, yes? Suppose we have something like a StarTrek food generator, but for us, brain, wetware, everything that occupies physical space, and then apply the algorithm. Are you sure that will

I highly recommend The Musée Marmottan, probably my favorite in Paris. Small and intimate space, beautiful light, charming interior, and doesn't feel like a museum. The collection is beautiful and well worth the visit.

I simply do not understand the furor over the JK Rowling affair. I read what she wrote, and I did not see "hate", or "transphobia", and many other very extreme adjectives. When she seeked to clarify her statements she

I've heard "Wow, you speak English better than I expected!", "You have no accent at all!" and similar said to Indian and Asian colleagues, some of these colleagues were born in the US and for all intents and purpose

I wish the title had not been edited from its original: "Everyone is Beautiful and No One is Horny." It captures so much better the essence of this rambling incomprehensible thesis that action movies have many beautiful people no

"hypergamy" is foundational to red pill and well-understood within the core beliefs. One can discuss the effect of social media on dating outside the light cone of red pill. It's a reaction to something, like white national

Yes. Because every idea that makes me uncomfortable is worth my time exploring. /s Presumptive of you to think I haven't, though. Red pill ideology is garbage.

Heh. For this reason I avoid HN threads having to do with gender and sex. There's a florid streak of redpill-ism that converges on these threads. Last week someone used "carousel" unironically. In this thread, "hyper

This is an observable truth. Be good, but don't show that you're too good. You'll get called all the time, even for stuff you're not good at. You'll be the janitor for all kinds of idiotic mess, and the perverse

I carried a pager for a short while, pager, remember those? On-call weeks were hell, even when nothing happened. It's the expectation of getting the call, and the expectation that a system outside your primary domain of expertise wil

Agree with you that tooling was abysmal but all of those *nix had their bright flowering that subsequently pollinated other *nixes. AIX service management (SRC I think?) eventually saw life in Solaris as SMF. BSD jails reborn as container

I'm not litigating to redline pockets of public space. The first principle I'm arguing from is that our pasts should be palimpsests which should be allowed to recede with time further into the past. Imagine a terrible argument y

The pat and flippant part is: well the USSC ruled thus, so thus, and thus shut up you, it's decided.

I feel like replies in this subthread that asserts: "a person has no expectation of privacy in public space therefore recording a person in that space is unsurprising, expected even", is flippant and pat. The existence of the cam

I'm discovering that a portion of HN is salty about what is "slave labor". You were paid a pittance, it's not slave labor . Were you chained to a pole and couldn't leave? No? Well clearly not slave labor . Oh,

I'm with you. I saw the delivery, and at the time thought it so much easy bromide, soporific treacle. It's even worse now seeing the words on a page. I have an innate distrust of 22-year-old poets. What do they know of pain, l
