Yes, but I don't recall many people claiming blowing up the gas pipelines was good, whoever it was that did it. Even if you wanted that pipeline gone, releasing all that methane wasn't a good thing to do.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kagi has already received multiple offers from various companies. The person behind Kagi seems very driven and has a vision for it that doesn't include taking a boat load of cash at this time. See the wa

None of the doctors I've known have been overtly religious. None of my small sample of 3 that I know personally are religious. A quick search and everything about it seems to link back to one survey of US doctors in 2005. The US is a v

I've always been pro nuclear. We talk about it a lot now (on hn anyway), but when I was growing up in the UK the greens had such a minor voice I didn't even know their stance on the issue. The hypothesis of doom that I subscribe t

I personally believe we're doomed. Even if there is a technological solution, as things get worse it gets harder to deploy it. If people are struggling with persistent climate driven change then they'll be using whatever is cheap

I don't think your analysis of countries flocking to BRICs is a good one though. While Russia and China do want to see the dominance of the US go down and potentially see BRICs as a tool for that, the other members have their own agend

I think you're of the majority opinion actually. There are loud voices on HN whenever this topic comes up, but clearly most people don't think about these issues much, they just want to access music. Spotify isn't really the

I agree that they were in a stronger political position before the war. Even if they win they probably lose, just by having exposed so much about their military strength, way of operating, internal politics etc. I would say they've ced

The thing about the steam engine is that it took a long time to develop and permeate society. We're talking 3 generations of people between the first engines able to pump water from coal mines to steam locomotives connecting cities.

The picker looks cool. I like the idea. I know that we actually do something similar already at work as well as having a tour. I can't see myself using this if I were a startup software product, it's just too easy and contextual t

I'm genuinely surprised to learn that WWII had more casualties than WWI. I had always thought 1 was worse due to the trench warfare.

I moved from vim to vscode. The main driver was an easier time writing extensions. I've tried to switch to neovim twice since and gave up. Lua is nice and I did get into that the first time. Crashing and errors were rife though. The se

So they have to sell off a small bit of wealth to pay the tax? That seems reasonable if their wealth is so large that they're over the tax threshold. For most founders this will never be an issue and for those that it is... they'v
