Fundamentally the lack of empathy demonstrated by your friends should make it evident that those determined to be child free are really just selfish. Why would you even want to spend time with people with those personality traits? My best f

Yeah, I have zero interest in an electric vehicle, nor a new ICE vehicle. They are all shit boxes designed to monetize everything they can from remote start, to your GPS location, to heated seats. No thanks, I'll take the 2004 Tacoma g

Maybe just use the word "send" in a blue bubble? Forcing us to discover and translate hieroglyphics is just lazy UI design because you do not want to worry about localization.

a hair slower? I drag it from one side of the screen to the other and get 4-6 frames despite my monitor being 240fps. Perhaps its just more engineering to push people off firefox?

Modern UI is a crime against humanity. I did not think there were new depths to the depravity, yet here we are. Society has been backsliding since XP.

Well that's a bit disappointing but i am aware that their are gaps in my knowledge. I had assumed it was the feasibility of competing with an entrenched firm, not lack of access to research texts. I will chat with Chat to learn more ab

Lightroom 5 is miles better than what they offer today. Lightroom Creative Cloud is steaming dog shit. Adobe seriously gets to extort over $120 a year out of me simply for the privilege of reading raw files from a new camera. They provide z

I just asked O3 for a software stack for deploying AI in a local application and it recommended llama over OpenAI API. It has always been easy to imagine how advertising could destroy the integrity of LLM's. I can guarantee that there

Tl;Dr: The author makes a strong case for broader, higher tariffs but understands it is impossible to help American manufacturing knowing that the next administration will cave to China and Wall-street and immediately move to undo everythin

Manufacturing doesn’t have to equate to sweat shops. It’s hard to take your argument seriously when your judgement is undermined by such fallacy. We have problems with housing affordability because asset values inflate inverse to the devalu

It’s not about trade deficits-it’s about becoming an independent manufacturer again. Whether or not anyone international buys what we make is secondary. Wealth is disproportionately allocated to those that benefit from globalization but the

The point is to inflict cost to create incentive for domestic production. Obviously the inconsistency on tariffs undermines this position but the pandemic made it very clear that there are domestic security implications for not having impor

Hacker News is one of my absolutely favorite websites to use. I would argue MOST websites are worse than this blissfully simple text only interface. I would be hopelessly addicted to Reddit again if they had an HN-esque interface.

Or some sort of system to pay per article. I’d toss a quarter here and there for content.

You know we generally have those adrenaline junkies lead most missions? Apollo 17 was literally the first Apollo mission NOT led by a test pilot.

This is ridiculous. People risk their lives for pretty views and brief moments of adrenaline. I would advise you to touch grass, but you might not want to risk a cut.

This meme of hating someone for having different politics is getting very old. Why didn’t you save the world with all the clear headedness that comes from having the correct politics?

Extra phone lines cost almost nothing and free smartphones are a thing again. They practically throw low end iPhones and pixels at you to try for a new contract. I can understand spending $10/mo for peace of mind from the bus stop to s

I don't think the destruction of a few objects is really a big deal. Personally, this commercial is a metaphor for what big tech companies have done to culture and society in general. They have undermined the diversity of human experie
