The entire scenario is pretty unbelievable, and played out like an awful Adam Sandler movie. If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I would have trouble believing someone with dueling top credentials such as his could possibly be s

It's always stuck with me he was basically at the top of both fields, yet somehow simultaneously and spectacularly incompetent in both roles.

An acquaintance of mine is an FBI investigator and moonlights as a higher-grade Realtor. He would use the same memory card and high end camera both during "stakeouts" for surveillance photos as well as listing photos for the homes

Agree to disagree. Your fist statement is a rather disingenuous and a contrived, false premise. Further, this very OP links to a prominent drinker arguing the opposite of your other point.

I can't fathom why I had to scroll so far down to find a response like this. Congratulations on your success. The amount of posters in this thread who seem to mistake a superficial physical co-existence in a social setting for genuine

The answer is the focus on community. Alcohol brings people together physically, only to isolate them mentally. Alcohol has individual short-term "benefits", for some, but detrimental effects on communities.

> It's a drug that makes it easier to socialize But is unconscious socialization the same as conscious socialization? IMO all socialization is not equal. If you're "engaging" with people who are intoxicated themselves

Personally, I have zero trust. In reality, the entire article could be thoroughly vetted, and Finkel may well have made a full "recovery" and rededicated themselves to the truth, but fabricating facts at that level is unforgivable

I kept skimming to find the "real" article. Couldn't figure out if the schtick ever ended but I found it too distracting. I say this as someone who spent 10 years dreaming of working for The Onion. I feel this type of tone ca

Fabricating events, people, or facts is pretty much the worst thing a journalist can be accused of, but sadly it's all to tempting for some. Journalism is hyper competitive, but the reality is proper reporting is an often boring, greul

I've got very personal reasons for saying no, remote work has saved my life. Commuted from grade 5 through college and into my early 30s. I have spent 1000s of hours in rush hour traffic and riding public transit. I hated every moment

True, it's died down a bit in recent weeks. But it's still taken crypto's place of the mind share.

I have attempted a couple times to re-learn and the result is always the same. It goes beyond anxiety. If I try to read so much as a three digit number, my brain turns to mush and things start to get blurry. I have trouble reading ticket nu

I have. I am disappointingly crippled by dyslexia. It takes a tremendous amount of energy for me to work with numbers and formulae which is one of the reasons I was drawn to programming. Once I realized I could abstract away the numbers and

Highjacking for self-edification as you led with math... Is math going to become more important for software engineers in general, as AI is adopted in to more and more aspects of the SDLC, even if said engineers aren't working directly

This is funnier than it has any right to be, mostly given the over-abundant "AI will fix everything" narrative currently dominating the hn discourse. LLMs are incredible, and will no doubt continue to improve beyond anything I cou

I often stayed overnight at the home of an uncle who slept in either standard issue whitey tighties, or just nude. On more than one late night, he was forced to come and whisper yell at me and my cousins along with whatever friends happened

I would definitely agree. There is a good amount of puritanical shame when it comes to nudity in the U.S. which I don't identify with. I don't really have an issue with my own body and do everything I can to instill body positivit

All the while they ignore the litter box... And flush their human toilets with the lid open... The world's a gross place. I know it's unavoidable for some (e.g. OCD) but by and large, I tend to think people spend an inordinate amo

This is probably the main reason I look forward to empty nesting. If I'm in my bedroom, I'm nude. I am thrilled with the prospects of expanding that boundary. It's so annoying to "suit up" for the sake of my innocen

I love the fact your sentence lamenting the dumbification and impending laziness has a typo in it. It sort of undercuts your argument. That is of course unless the AI Boogeyman has already gotten to you...

I've been struggling with similar thoughts for a few years, as someone with a dedicated "DevOps" role. I'm of the belief devops is a culture, not a role. I believe most with a basic grasp of devops principles share that

You should deploy critical thinking skills. Splashing water on someone is in fact assault (or more accurately battery). But that's besides the point, which isn't very hard to understand. The point is that just because a substance

by jahsome 3y ago
You're either endorsing literal battery/assault or perhaps overlooking some context. Challenge studies involve consenting individuals and the actual events in the article don't. I presume GP's example of splashing water

That's a great counter point. I wouldn't know from first hand experience in that case but there are some GREAT communities. I feel overall though, the tone of discussions and echo chamber sentiment just feels different now. Especi

Outside of some niche communities, it's been a real crap shoot for many years though. I think you may have been spared a lot of garbage. I can't really put a finger on when or what changed but feel it definitely lost the sheen.

I wasn't personally aware of this Law. In recent years I have worked quite hard to rid myself of such thinking, in favor of a more positive outlook, even if it's slightly forced. As a result, I've found myself much more at pe

I'm more taken by the degree of apparent fervor and unceremonious abandonment for the next shiny thing. I'm not surprised, I am just disappointed. Perhaps it's ego, but I expect better out of hn participants.
