   I view it as a replacement for node that requires less overall handholding and ceremony.

   Some arc code I wrote back in the day, for generating textual descriptions from structured data using a web frontend, is still in production at a previous company of mine (as far as I know). It was indeed a useful tool. It's a shame ar

   I felt like the biggest dolt that I didn't sell my stocks en masse a couple of weeks before the plunge, when it was already obvious C19 was going to be a big deal. I reasoned "The Fed will just inflate the currency to maintain sto

   I don't really want to hijack this discussion by discussing merits (or lack thereof) of other cryptocurrencies. Maybe post a link on HN for the cryptoeconomics of this other project and then we can discuss it there?

   This system is going after the dream where everyone can earn extra money by letting other people use spare space on their hard drives. In theory, I think it could offer "cloud storage" at orders of magnitude lower cost than other

    Some initial questions about this plan: 1. How does this system deal with the "data withholding" problem? In other words, when people provide "storage power" their data will be repeatedly sampled to make sure it is avail

    This link explains the new Webpack support in more detail: https://clojurescript.org/news/2020-04-24-bundle-target Though that post is pretty good, I wish someone could create a more ELI5 version of the post for people

    This seems unlikely to me, given the low extraction costs they have for oil. I guess the biggest danger they would face is if they have to stop "paying off" their population, and this leads to an "arab spring" type of si

    I would love to be able to trust what the CDC and WHO are saying on these issues, they are in charge of the official narratives on coronavirus. Unfortunately, they have performed poorly since January, forcing us all to rely on outside sourc

    If you google mainstream organizations about "chicken pox parties" you will see that they uniformly say they are a bad idea- Not because they care if their advice is accurate or not, but simply because "that's what you&#

    Robin Hanson has talked a lot about this. ( https://twitter.com/robinhanson ) It seems to me to be the obviously correct thing to do (at least insofar as having immediate testing of the hypothesis at large scale with voluntee

    I think it's pretty great that the Swedes are willing to sacrifice themselves for the rest of us for a science experiment. They're going to function as a "control group" for thousands of scientific papers to come. ...and

    Are we supposed to care that ICANN's feelings are hurt? Hopefully this is a step to replacing ICANN with something better. If you think ICANN is some sort of magical organization that should get to decide all TLDs, just vote with your

    Yeah, it's a stain on scientific institutions that the WHO and CDC are peddling unscientific nonsense. Makes me sad.

    "You should only wear a mask if a healthcare professional recommends it." A blanket statement against all types of masks without qualification. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/faq.html

    You have a point on the "West" thing, however Austria, Chzech republic, and UK have already instituted mandatory mask use in some circumstances.

    If there are tons of studies showing that homemade masks prevent virus spread, almost no evidence to the contrary, and they tell people not to wear even homemade masks, I don't know what else to call it but "lying". How about

    I tried to give away cloth masks (not medical masks) to people in my area and nobody wanted one, and I live in a very liberal, highly educated part of the country. I'm hoping this attitude can be changed, I'm just pointing out tha
