I am experiencing basically this right now. I am otherwise usually very healthy but have been having digestive problems for about 6 months. I realized last month that my newfound sleep problems seem to correlate with my stomach upsets. It w

Most of my friends loathe social media and only use it in fear that if they don’t, they might be less attractive to potential employers..

Notice they only answer lighthearted/positive inquiries that aren’t too inquisitive. The issue with privatization is that a public relations person can tell you one thing today, they can do another thing tomorrow, and all that matters

>These types of businesses are not impossible to create. This is amazingly uninformed. Let’s stop pretending private businesses were born yesterday and just consult history. Privatization of human rights is despicable and this is not a

“Protest” by way of market choice is such a tired fallacy. It’s really amazing so many HN readers are so ready to take such outdated philosophy to the grave.

That is not the only thing one can do. Our governing bodies could be disentangled from private interests and put to task protecting the vulnerable members of our society for the better of the whole. This idea anything but new. Have you not

I updated my comment. I guess I need to read up on that. I read of so many areas in which PBR stops short in offline contexts, like using constant BRDFs which is a little unnecessary with offline rendering. What am I not understanding there

Social role? Until further notice, America is a capitalist country and Zuckerberg’s score says it all. Who needs social roles?

The roller coaster setup seems so feasible. What are we waiting for? I guess the obvious problem is that it would require simultaneously modding both private vehicles and public infrastructure at impossible scale. It seems like such an obvi

>But looking out the window, I can say American society has soundly rejected the rail as the ultimate solution. “Soundly”? If you mean in the way a child “soundly” rejects vegetables, maybe. But, the American public has never had this

Non-3D artists should note that “Physically Based Rendering” or PBR is merely a standard for defining materials. It is becoming something of an industry standard in real-time and offline rendering workflows. From a real-time(games) perspect

Culture is comprised of many things, and some similar things, but not that. By definition, culture is merely a collective persistence, and therefor inherently superficial. Culture cannot capacitate “learning” or even lessons. Culture

It’s very well known that the information being discussed is “acted on” constantly. It informs advertising, political propoganda campaigns, lawmaking, voting districts. Bullet point comparisons of a historic authoritarian state to a contemp

So far, you haven’t displaced, or even responded to the claims so much as expressed something along the lines of a threat, a type of discussion that is much more offensive in my view.

“Extremism” is a misleading description of the examples given. Strongly held political beliefs are being conflated with tabloid-style conspiracy. Such a lack of nuance devolves the conversation into a chaos of mostly useless and misdirected

It’s pretty hard to imagine those laws coming to the US in our lifetimes with all the corporate interests that would oppose them. It’s probably obvious but our best bet is in voting for Bernie Sanders.

I can’t help but wonder about the overlap between US regions with high opioid use rates and US regions with high suicide rates. I don’t doubt the incentives in the article contribute to the issue, but I wonder how we can account for the reg
