What I don't like is whiners. My values and your are not aligned at all. Understand: I don't want sympathy from anyone. I don't think I deserve sympathy, nor do I need it. Do I need to explain sarcasm to you?

I have admitted multiple times on HN and elsewhere that I don't think anything I've done in my career has been particularly valueable or useful to society. I totally own it. I not only don't complain about being "laid of

If they have real skills they can find employment else where. They are whining because they know they were being over compensated at Google and that they are unlikely to be able to find another job that pays so much money with so little eff

Earning $200k/yr without doing anything special is a privilige very few people in the world get to enjoy. I have no sympathy for these people. Learn a real skill and do something useful. Before you jump and say they do have a skill: wh

Observing super priviliged people whining about how unfair it is to get laid off is really something.

I'd argue that legalizing polygyny would encourage more men to participate in the economy more eagerly: if they succeed they can have multiple wives and have multiple children with each. This is not a small prize. Contrast to the curre

A 60m^2 apartment just around the periferies of the center of tokyo (I'm talking 10 minute train to Shinjuku) costs about 700k in dollar terms[0] if you want to buy it, and between 1500 to 2000 per month if you want to rent it. Move fu

People should be allowed to self-select them selves out of reproduction. On the long term this is a eugenic pattern: it means the next generation will be more likely to have more people who value reproduction.

It doesn't. These societies are permanently changed because of immigrations. This of course works fine for the immigrants (like myself!) but if I was a Canadian in the 70s I would be greatly opposed to this movement. I'm not Japan

When I first visited Japan I went to Akihabara a lot. You can see a lot of "weird" and "only in Japan" things there, but it's not really a good representation of Japanese society. The vast majority of people in Japa

Taking responsibiliy means you have work to do to correct the problem. You spilled coffee on the table? Clean it up. That's your responsibility. It doesn't mean you need to be "punished". In the case of layoffs, taking r

Men don't get pregnant. A man and two women can give birth to 10 children (5 each). A woman and two men cannot do the same.

The vast majority of women who end up single and childless into their forties don't do it by choice. At least not directly. They _want_ to find a partner and have children; they just didn't succeed at making the right decisions in

There are many rich people in Japan who can afford to have multiple wives and support all of them financially. Some of them might do that in secret with a mistress but in the current social and political environment they probably wouldn&#

Japan already does a lot of that. Housing, food, and healthcare are not only affordable but taken for granted by most people. Individualism is a problem but the culture as a whole is not very individualistic.

What is it that you don't want to? Give birth?

It hasn't been two minutes and I already have a downvote. I understand many people do not "like" this kind of solution because it conflicts with modern people's sensibilities. But consider what the future would look like

What is the unique thing they offer that no other company can offer?

That's not a solution.

Legalize polygyny for rich men who can financially support multiple wives. Japan's population decline appears to be caused not by women giving birth to fewer children, but by an increase in the number of childless women. It appears tha

This company is based on an ORM library? How do they make money?

I think it's a fair assessment for the general public, but not for the kind of person who is interested in the startup world. I expect an environment like HN to self select against this mindset that is prevalent in the general public.

The text on the landing page is odd. It reads: > Remember when social media was fun, introduced you to big ideas and cool people, and actually made you smarter? Remember when it didn't waste your time and make you angry or sad? When

I find it odd that most of the comments here are angry, as if at someone who stole the livlihoods of thousands of people. I understand the general public thinks their life depends on a company. I find it odd that this sentiment is so strong

You probably can't. If such a thing existed, they wouldn't make up some artist-made illustration. They probably detected the event by plugging in some mathematical equations based on general relativity. I'd imagine it has som

Just in case anyone is fooled: the pictures are fake, they are not what Hubble saw. Hubble didn't see that picture. It's just some artist doing his thing. Might as well have been generated by one of the new AIs like MidJourney. Wh

i) Never had a problem with this, although I use very very few libraries, so that might be why. (At this point basically only preact) ii) Yes, but this can't be used to favor JS instead. If a library is badly documented, you're go
