What do you mean by "We" Kimosabe? For dipshits who think aggregating ad-based websites, and hate filled doom-loop algorithmic feeds, are "the web", this may be true. But the rest of us, who aren't part of this &quo

I think we can clearly say that capital gains are not earned. Someone who lays bricks, "earns" their income; someone who's wealth increases as a bricklaying company's value increases, does not. In this sense, it is indee

Why am I not surprised to find that this weird clickbait topic is tied to some nutjob religious idea? Once you take the leap of believing there is some big invisible guy in outerspace, pretty much any belief is possible after that...

The name is not great. Shouldn't human-made exclude injection molding, or CNC metalwork? Or maybe this is for people who think software is everything? Sadly many recent electrical engineering grads also have this perspective...

What are you even talking about? There are more articles in the HN feed on AI than any other topic, by far. A certain amount of the push back is just because of how much it displaces all other subjects. Another amount is just trying to over

A nice article! It really does a great job of describing the hostage nature of keeping the various daimyo in check. One thing that I think is commonly misstated though, is that this period was one of "peace". When viewed from the

After studying Japanese language and culture for the last 15 years, and spending about 6 months there in total, I would say they have a massive over-packaging problem in general. I've never seen a place throw away more plastics than in

Interesting, and I agree with every one of those checklist items, but none of those things have anything to do with the car being electrically powered.

I find it pretty funny, that in an article decrying goggle's abusive behavior, the screenshot they link (which obviously needs to be a video) is a link to a goggle owned property: > Look at this horrible s—t. Look at it! > https

The whole thing is obviously tongue-in-cheek, but sarcasm is a potent mode of communication. The joke, of course, being that every increase in productivity has ALWAYS gone straight to ownership. Economists have been predicting a boom in hum

All of this is really about web dev, not s/w dev in general. npm and pip are curses on the planet. One point right from the beginning of the article: Why would you EVER leave a public port open straight to phpMyAdmin? This is what SSH

The democratic party controlled the house, the senate, and the presidency at that point in time. My point is that the democratic party blocked public health care for the US. This is neither ignorant nor deceptive.

I think this article doesn't use a very good definition of "physical reality". Like most writing along these lines, it conflates physical reality, with the human conscious perception of physical reality. This has always been

The maniverse, "wellness", MAHA, microbe denial, vaccine denial, and wing-nut politics in general are never going to be good for health care outcomes. The worst aspect being the closure of healthcare providers in rural areas, sinc
