I love how you point out that the characters are all believable, flawed people. I love Avasarala's character (and the actress' voice on top of that is like icing on a cake), and the way she plays the Power game so well. I really

What gets me is not the interfaces to control things -- that seems believable -- but rather the ease/speed with which they answer questions about reams of data. Like, I work on a system with a database and to answer any complicated qu

I think the main difference might be that in your house, if you season a pan and end up with lots of lasting smoke everywhere, or even an errant fire alarm, you own it so you can elect to not care. In an apartment, neighbors might complain.

Since blood oxygen can be measured with an external sensor, I'd be very surprised if fitbit or Apple watches weren't able to monitor oxygen levels combined with sleep movement to detect this. (They probably already do this.) Edit:

There's no "coherency" to them. It's interesting to hear you say that. With the integrations we have with Slack and Github, I see previews, summaries, etc thrown at me when I link things

It sounds like it's more like RSUs or other stock grants, where your taxes vary based on when you received _those particular_ shares.

> Teaching tools of the trade is, well, a trade school thing I disagree. So much of our computing literacy is in how to _use_ the systems, and understanding concepts of using the shell, debuggers, source control, etc. I see these kind of

This looks really great, and shows a lot of polish in its interface. I liked how you had different preset ways of filtering the data (SMGs, Rifles, etc), as well as linkable results pages. Being able to select armor and hit-locations seems

I feel like this kind of argument relies on the spirt/god/being being willing to do something that is meaningful to us (but perhaps not to them), or something which is not possible even for them. This reminds me a lot of when our

Great point. While not everything is appropriate to share in response to someone else's "Show HN" post, I've definitely seen (and appreciated) others linking similar projects. It usually is in the context of saying some

That sounds a little like telling someone that their problems are that their cows are not spherical. For graphics drivers specifically, having tochoose between FOSS and something that works is very frustrating.

HN does not value personal attacks like the kind you made. Please consider that you could have elevated the conversation by actually addressing the idea of an illegal strike (what differentiates a legal one from an illegal one, for example)

As long as you administer the tests properly, I shouldn't care whether you oppose the basis for those tests politically.

Oh, wow. The Sidenotes discussion from Gwern that you linked is _phenomenal_. Thank you for sharing these.

It likely depends on your friends or the games you play. I don't think my friends care to know that I am playing the Witcher, Cyberpunk, Battletech, Mechwarrior, or Jotun. Friends might care to know that I'm online, and be able to

I think the point it adds to the discourse, regardless of tone, is that your suggestion of outlawaing public recordings is very much at odds with the past twenty years or more of experience, where we've seen that public recordings of t

I don't know what the per-person budget is, but our team had a really enjoyable time doing one of those group painting activities. They shipped us supplies, and we all were in a Zoom meeting together. I notice the resulting painting on

I really enjoy seeing the postmortems that some teams publish after these kinds of things.

I still remember (with a mixture of awe and horror) the video I saw that showed how gummy bears are made... in reverse. So you start with delicious looking things, and it just gets more and more nightmarish. It was brilliantly done, and I a

"""When you're lawyer gets on scene""" How does one actually _get_ a lawyer on the scene? If I haven't been arrested, am I eligible for a public defender? Do I need to already have one on retainer?

How does that even work, though? If I've bought a stock for $200, how could I end up owing more than what I already paid? I feel like I don't understand what situation you're describing.

This seems like it would be very vulnerable to people supporting a viewpoint (whether true or not) brigading the heck out of posts about the other viewpoint.

My guess is the money to pay lawyers to enforce the NDA in court. (If I make you sign the NDA, but can't sue you when you break it, it's useless.))

Perhaps that's merely _the closest translation_ into our language? :) I mean, if I were trying to translate the idea of a limited liability corporation into non-English, I'd probably come up with a phrasing that ended up being ver
