I’m tired of seeing this article on HN. Humans care where the sun is more than they care about what time it is. How am I supposed to know when someone in Europe is awake if it’s 10 PM for me in the US and the sun has already set? Timezones

To be fair, humans are wired to generally get up when the sun comes up. There’s nothing wrong with staying up late and getting up late, but society has kind of settled on “things happen early in the morning”, and considering biology, I don’

Why would I report every random bug when it’ll just get closed in five years as WONTFIX? Let’s be realistic: most FOSS projects are run by people who already have a lot to do, and at least from what I’ve seen, the ability to get any specifi

It’s important to keep in mind that imbalance goes both ways.

I think code reviews on teams without architects are awkward. Someone naturally might step up to take on that role, but if there’s no clear decision maker for hard technical choices, then it’s just a bunch of awkward, passive suggestions. A

I meant Google in general. It’s yet another tiny step in a terrible direction. At this point I would love to legislate most of Google out of existence, personally.

Except you need approximately zero of those things (especially Bazel. Jesus, who would pull in Bazel for this?) To run a website in 2019, you need: 1. Server 2. nginx 3. A certificate 4. DNS The vast majority of people don’t actually need t

> Do we have any recourse against this monopoly...? Once upon a time, Congress used to write and pass laws to protect Americans from egregious abuses of power like this. Of course, that time is long gone.

I’m like 85% sure “There are very few things as bad as...” is just an expression, and not literally suggesting that real estate negotiations are, on the spectrum of evil, the worst possible thing ever.

Because money equals power, and we incentivize and condone the behavior. Imagine a maximum wage. How incentivized would people be to accumulate ever increasing amounts of money?

Amazing how psychedelics might be legalized before housing in San Francisco.

How about “Elon Musk is a jerk”? Bit of a throwback, but it works.

That’s one of the many reasons I don’t implement a bunch of my side projects, because it inevitably leads to me trying to figure out how to police and remove gross content from whatever website I build, and I don’t want to have to deal with

Also, have they ever actually seen kids communicate? With the way the world seems to be, my friends and I joked a lot about wanting to die (and still do). We don’t actually mean it, it’s just a really strong way of saying that shit’s messed

Except this has adequately changed labor policies exactly zero times ever. When large companies can exploit labor (by being the ones with all of the money and power), it doesn’t matter how many people quit. Why haven’t the masses left Walma

That’s not evolution, that’s just... nobody having non-blue eyes anymore because you killed them. It’s contrived. People would still have babies with non-blue eyes, though. Getting rid of all members of a species with a specific trait doesn

I agree. It’s vital if you’ve bought into the doctrine of infinite growth at all costs forever, but there is a limit. And if we were perhaps better at living sustainably, I’d be more supportive of having children. But either way, this Ponzi

I don’t know, the rest of the developed world doesn’t want to live with gun violence, and they... don’t. Your argument is absurd, though, because most knives and apples aren’t designed to kill people, and serve other purposes. You can preve

People have been subverting language for about as long as there has been language. It’s incredibly difficult to police and a losing battle anyway. There are infinite possibilities for encoding other meanings into words, and if two or more p

This seems to suggest that the content moderation policy is rather arbitrary, which makes sense if you recall that Facebook uses underpaid contractors in struggling countries to do a lot of this work.

Let’s keep polluting then, because at least then rich or poor, we’ll all be equally dead.

At this point? A few decades of drought, fire, and famine is probably what it’s going to take. The science is clear, but you have to play the long game, and humans are notoriously bad at long-term thinking in aggregate. We’ve enjoyed unfett

Discussions about IQ (which isn’t a particularly useful metric anyway, for various reasons) tend to veer into racist territory because people end up associating wealth and success with IQ, and since a disproportionate amount of wealth in Am

whoosh My point was that advertising doesn’t need to exist in its current state. It’s not some immutable facet of the universe that Google tracks us everywhere and then directs targeted crap at us.

You can’t make it go away? Who made it in the first place? The natural state of the universe is no advertising. It’s not as though a “You’re the 1,000,000th visitor to this site!” banners popped into existence three femtoseconds after the B

The bar for Linux is “does it work at all?” If it’s not completely broken, then everything else matters little, because it could just as easily be broken. (Source: daily Linux user for... like ten years now?)

I had a feeling I wasn’t the only one who did this, but I’m glad to know for sure. I do the exact same thing, because otherwise it seems nigh impossible to actually find decent human conversations online that aren’t in some unindexed walled

The IRS expects payment by Tax Day if you owe, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. This necessarily involves doing the work you’d do anyway, so why not just mail that info and allow you to return it with a box checked saying “I agree that this
