Is it possible it’s just about power? Non-competes make it harder to find a new job. Employers want it to be hard to find a new job, since that means it’s hard to leave your current job even if the pay/hours/whatever is poor.

I was playing on a 3080 and i second this. It was way too demanding for my card, at least with any ray tracing on. I just upgraded to a 4080 and it runs flawlessly though, I guess they were targeting 40-series cards for anything raytraced.

So anyone who’s a role model is a tool builder? Seems like a stretch to me.

Just because the child labor isn’t happening on our soil, isn’t it still valid to say a lot of our supply chains are supported by it? Chocolate, coffee, clothing, rare minerals from electronics, electronic assembly all have slavery and chil

For one counter example out of many: It also helps the US spy on its own citizens.

I knew the CEO’s name but I don’t see why there needs to be any reverence for him. “This guy” is plenty clear enough, we’re all talking about the same person.

I’ve been using Hue lights for about 6 years now. They’re mostly not a pain, except for when they are. Some examples: - I used to move a lot, like every year or so. Each move required a few hours of setup in the new place. Compared to screw

Yeah they’re talking about cops that got some fentanyl on their hand and thought they were having an overdose when really it was just a panic attack. I’ve read a couple of news articles where something along those lines happened. Edit: one

How is it that none of these are “no, because that hurts our bottom line even if it’s good for the public”? The framing in this article suggests that corporations and societies are usually aligned in their interests. This has not been my ex

“And car noise doesn't make it inside the houses” Oh really? I’m sitting inside my apartment listening to car noise right now. Our apartment sits away from the street too, probably 150ft away.

Maybe instead of sex the real need is connection, sex is one way to get it.

It’s exciting to see a complex crpg get so popular. It had something like 700k concurrent steam players yesterday. I think in 2-3 years time we’re going to see a wave of rpgs that focus on freedom of choice over action riding the success of

I think complete plays is a pretty fair metric, though it hurts 45 minute long epics or Dj sets or w/e. The bigger issue I have is with “number of times played.” I listen to some comfort-food music over and over again, but the most rew

Yep you’re 100% spot on. “He” works with hypotheticals (even if that’s a bit outdated) but not when talking about a specific person.

> Assuming that was due to discrimination that would be bad. But if it was accidental it wouldn’t be bad? I think the OPs point is that we can’t always know the second order effects of our decisions (hypothetical ex: requiring high test

It’s not though? I’ve taken 600+ rides and gave all 5-stars except for a single dangerous ride. Maybe I’m not as exacting as your average HN commenter, but I’d still describe my stance as “always give 5 stars” despite the outlier.

As someone knee-deep in the Apple ecosystem, no, $3,500 is not cheap. $3,500 is a top of the line MacBook Pro.

That book absolutely changed my life for the better. I went from basically never cooking before (but loving food) to what’s turned into a years-long cooking and baking obsession. Can’t recommend it enough!

Hmm, that’s not how I read it. “Yet” to me is saying we can make collective change to make it evenly distributed.

Pro-tax type here, this quote is not accurate for me: “ pro-tax types don't believe [private entities] can use those resource more effectively than a government” It’s not that they’re less effective, it’s that the public should get som

Where did the OP say they’ve done nothing? Isn’t it entirely possible they’ve said how they feel about it, and their partner decided not to listen to them for whatever reason? I had a partner who smoked and continually encouraged them to qu

Idk about “sought after” but it often is useful to embrace and fully experience suffering when it comes for you. Grief is the obvious example.

That’s not equivalent in any reasonable way. Tenants can’t put a landlord on the street.

But they are writing for an audience that is not as knowledgeable, so “simply” isn’t accurate for the audience, only the writer.

The parent’s comment was also saying that gas stoves are essentially a forced choice on poor people who don’t have many options when looking for a place to rent. Just because you theoretically have more choice in a free market doesn’t mean

Having a check mark does promote your tweets in various ways, though. It’s definitely a force multiplier. Replies from verified accounts would show up higher in the replies list, and replies dunking on bad tweets was (is?) a good way to get
