Many subreddits are simply themed containers of creative writing. One really annoying trend I am seeing in some mainstream news publishing online is repackaging social media clips and "reporting" on them as if NewsWeek breaking

I got into Charles Mingus through "Mingus Plays Piano", I particularly like piano jazz when working, but any bop oriented jazz is good. Newcomers should give "Myself When I Am Real" a listen, it's a lovely compositi

I saw the title and thought "you mean the Jazz musician, Charles Mingus?" And sure enough, it is, which kind of makes sense. A random person named Charles Mingus explaining cat toilet training isn't interesting; it's the

I like how that quote actually reflects the hubris and disconnection to reality of the sound engineer. That is exactly "how it was done", how he mixed it, the fact that it didn't sound good in a real life matinee (as opposed

Presumably Google will require me to send them a report of how much money I'd made? And then I guess I'd write Google a check for 11% of my earnings…?? Quarterly? Monthly? What happens if I miss a payment? There has to be some s

1. Raise interest rates and stop printing. Crazy inflation stops, but asset prices crash and we enter a major recession or depression. The end result will likely be unrest and blood in the streets. There's zero historical indication

People rightfully consider this to be a hypocrisy. Hypocrisy can effectively dampen voter turnout of your supporters if they are idealistic enough. But it's an absolute non-factor if you can sufficiently demonize your opponent(s) and

Thank you, I upvoted you, lprubin, and belter, but I'll respond just here to not be repetitive. I come to HN for the tech but I stay for the etcetera :)

But I never said the reverse, you're putting words in my mouth by way of the parent comment. Sure letting extended family members stay in touch is a good thing. Keeping childhood/high school relationships going past when they migh

Treating "net negative" as equivalent to "cannot see any positive" is disingenuous.

Half (50%) of the country did not in fact vote for Trump. Biden won 51.3% of the popular vote and Trump won 46.8% of the popular vote [1]. Nor did Trump win the Electoral College vote, 306 to 232 for Biden[2] there is a lack of education i

Oh please regale me with tales of how Donald Trump won the election in 2020 and Bill Gates is implanting us all with tracking chips through vaccines just so I can see pics of the grand kids, they do the darndest things.

Facebook can have some positive values, while still when taken as a whole be an overwhelming societal net negative.

All I've been able to glean from a Chris Dixon twitter thread and Cloudflare's HTTP-to-crypto thing-a-ma-bob announcement is that web3 is all about putting crypto based paywalls everywhere right?

I keep thinking, even though I myself have gotten vaccinated against COVID-19, and I wish that as many people as possible get the vaccine to so we can have a chance of herd immunity, that in a way maybe a small small amount of people not g

Given this angle I wonder if Roblox is actually hoping for rampant falsifications so they can keep their underage players but also tell regulators that they are protecting minors from possible exposure to harmful content.

States could kill two birds with one stone... The laws preventing manufacturers from going straight to consumer are there because of lobbying, there is no indication most states would desire killing one bird much less two.

I don't think the gp is implying that people are actively looking to cause crashes. What they are saying is that a "better you than me" mentality (which is unfortunately quite rational) is definitely a factor in the overall b

If it's all about pedestrians, then we should also ban EVs (all cars, really). You've opened yourself up to the same absurd reduction, saying if even one farmer is disadvantaged then the standard should be towards the heavy pick

I'm asking why ban SUVs and not cars. Because you are willfully ignoring the pedestrian angle by saying the default should be SUV over sedans. Here's one of many sources that is very easy to google for. https://www.ii

"Ford is (or has?) eliminated cars from their American offerings." What? Do you have a source? Doubling down on the livestock angle? I thought you were trolling. Can you pull a livestock trailer with a wagon? I see now that do

You can't pull livestock in a car either. Yeah, because so many people are trying to fit three head of cattle into a fucking Ford Expedition.
