This is absolutely huge news. I think this could signal a major shift from traditional lines of credit to an installment system like they have in many South American countries.

This is a tragedy. RIP Daniel Wilkinson. I think there is a real need to research and develop effective therapeutics for the effects of the virus. Prevention is not enough.

I believe that's taking a pretty narrow view of it. So if I own more than one house I must house people for nothing, simply because I have property? How is the maintenance going to be paid? Property tax? Insurance? Amortization? Mortga

I think that if the US were a true free market we would have seen certain banks go bankrupt in 2008 and a more honest (or at least less stupid) system of banking take its place. Yes there would be pain, but there is already pain in other fo

I said I'd like to see hard evidence. When one intends to make a financial proposal at a company, they should expect to furnish evidence that the expenditure would provide some kind of return and that there is a factual basis for the n

And paying people's rent for them is somehow good for the economy? I have been seeing a lot of headlines lately about how it's incredibly difficult to find workers as economies are reopening. If one has a job, they should be able

Weighing in on this, I'd say the counterarguments to keeping the moratorium in place are absolutely absurd. I'd like to see hard evidence that "a surge of evictions could lead to more infections of the coronavirus". I&#x

10-4. Can't blame you for keeping HN tidy. I honestly wasn't trying to bait anyone and definitely didn't expect that crazy tangent. Will hold my tongue on off topic quips in the future. Thanks for the tip on the community gui

To be fair I would agree with you that some of his guests are great (e.g. Quentin Tarantino) and I do enjoy the long-form interviewing. But Rogan himself, to me, gives off bad vibes. Not really sincere or actually interested in his guests m

Brilliant, what I love about tools like these is they're immensely useful without being overly into themselves. Kudos to the creators.

I actually did register a domain in 1998. Playstationcheatcodes.com. I was 12 and had no idea how to make a website, and my stepdad had some words when he got the bill. Good times!

People need to realize that human memory != computer memory. It’s not even similar. Human intelligence is all about identification and differentiation. Intelligence comes from being able to work with raw data and seeing how it can apply to

Exactly! Somewhere along the line we started being taught things like context clues and other study traps. No amount of technique can possibly replace proper vocabulary building. I spent a lot of time in the dictionary in my younger years b

The way to remember what you read is to make sure you understand all the words in the text, the way they apply in context. It's the micro-misunderstandings that lead up to the macro-misunderstanding which manifests as "forgetting&

Honey does have slightly less fructose in it (IIRC ~40%). And it does contain beneficial micronutrients. But mostly it's just as "bad" for you as cane sugar or HFCS.

Sucrose is 50% fructose and 50% glucose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucrose

Keep this fact in mind as well: "Regular" cane sugar (sucrose) is made of 50% fructose and 50% glucose. Your cells only use the glucose and the fructose has to get metabolized.

It's not just about anit-vaxxing. It's about the erosion of civil liberties. I think these conversations should be had.

Twitter is covered under Section 230 as a platform and is legally immune to any content it hosts in the US. So no, it wasn't legally required to kick Trump off its platform. So it's not following any law when it decides to host on
