Compared to cocaine, smoking and the like it is not very probable that anyone becomes psychologically dependent on it because of the way it works: It releases serotonin stored in your body, and thus depletes those stores. So multiple doses

I was surprised to find a game as big as WoW to have a data strucutre which clearly violates some basic forms [1] of database formalization. Isn't database normalizaton something that any cs program teaches in the first few semesters?

That is not how drugs and addiction work. Most people with a functioning social environment could take heroin, and would be fine. It is not much different from drugs administered in hospitals, and you don't see patients turning into dr

yes, that's about half the LD50 for humans. Definitely more than you would consume as a non-addict on a regular day.

I have seen about 10% of my graduating cs class getting headhunted by Palantir Technologies. From that sample size I'd estimate the percentage of engineers who don't care about ethics to be at least around 10%.

Sure, if you can pay a CEO salary. That is literally the job of a CEO. He executes. People argue that money is never as good a motivator as true passion is. I am not taking sides on that matter, it is just something to consider.

yes, DDG has been nothing bu bliss lately. I did 99% of my master thesis research on there. And the other 1% I went to google for usually didn't turn up anything useful either.

Lets ignore that "cool" is not really well defined for a moment. > Anything creative will never be seen as cool outside of the niche it lives in. In my experience the exact opposite is true. The cool kids back in my school were

I don't really understand all the negativity towards bitcoin on HN these days. Back when it was new nobody would shame or outright insult people who invested in it. But somehow that's totally the norm now. Why does it matter wheth

There is. Watching memes all day is way less productive than reading about some obscure processor bug, or doing a tutorial in the newest functional js dialect.

I am quite surprised to see a recommendation to shop at Walmart on HN. I thought it was common knowledge that Walmart is a pretty terrible company and that people shouldn't support that? Sure, you save money, but at what cost?

I don't see the connection between the shooting and advertisers. If you are American I understand that the Las Vegas shooting probably affected you very much. There is a lot of violence going on around the world, so what do you suggest

That's been done, and no one has found any evidence that this is happening. Hence it's status as a conspiracy theory. As soon as you start assuming that the OS is giving the facebook app access to the microphone regardless of wh

I found the HN title misleading. The articles title says they attack the question. Which to me has a different meaning than attacking a hypothesis, which would imply trying to disprove it.
