What vaccine guardrails are you under the impression were removed? AFAIK none were removed, it's just steps were done in parallel at great $expense. It appears you are trying to imply that it's fine if Tesla skips safety testing a

Armchair financiers on HN are always full of energy. Considering what we were threatened with at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (total economic meltdown), 7.5% inflation is downright relaxing.

Take out some debt. I’m serious. That “free” money is there for you to take risks and invest with.

Isn’t some of this just a reversal of stuff like oil being negative, and supply chain shocks due to factories shutting down for Covid? Some of it is certainly transitory.

4000 in the USA? No it did not. Apples and oranges. Edit: I just looked up the numbers and it’s 102 deaths/day average in the USA. I think it’s a horrific problem and support many initiatives that will take cars off the road and calm t

Friendly reminder that yesterday, COVID-19 killed over 2000 people in a single day. It’s been keeping that grim pace for weeks. For every person who dies, at least a dozen will suffer from long Covid. Even still, no dangerous shortcuts were

Very well said. You’ve put into words what my intuition has been screaming at me but has been unable to properly formulate. Thank you.

> he said he did it many times and would do it again? Based on the videos I’m seeing of FSD in action, I have my doubts. Wouldn’t be surprised if this was a publicity stunt. Elon Musk has a very loose relationship with ethics and the tru

Article was fine, until the Rationalism shout-out at the end (the link to LessWrong was a major red flag). That community is Very Concerned with race and eugenics and genetic determinism and are Just Asking Questions and is largely convince

That used to be the case, but modern game engines like Unity make it easy to plop out an switch-capable version. The hardware is similar enough to a normal PC that it’s a matter of just turning the graphics down (way, way down). It certainl

That's exactly what TikTok is. I've tried to use it several times, but it was just too dystopian for me to keep going. It was an intensely disquieting experience seeing the algorithm try to "addict" me to the product. I

Early Facebook was wholesome as well, relatively speaking. It's the cycle of addiction. The early days of addiction are always nostalgic. It's only later that an addiction starts to produce anger as much as it produces relief. I s

It’s really incredible how easy some of these scams appear to pull off. “I’m your oldest child and no my microphone doesn’t work so I can’t talk to you and I need $2000 immediately” and the parent bypasses warnings from the bank about possi

Companies hire economists and pay them handsomely. They do no such thing with psychics or astrologers. So the market sees value in economists.

>it's about committing to the kid whether you do or not The point gp was making was very much about divorcing, or at least co-habitating. Otherwise the anger makes no sense.

It used to be women being stuck in bad marriages because otherwise they would lose their source of income. Increasingly, it's men stuck in bad marriages because otherwise they will lose access to their children.

Nothing about divorce is pleasant, per se. There's only bad and worse.

I didn’t expect to see a Powertoys rant in this thread. Seemed like one of the few teams at Microsoft that’s clearly power-user-focused and eats its own dogfood. Has made my life easier in several ways. Very difficult to live without once y

Huh. I have nearly 100tb in unused but brand new hard drives. Might be worth using them to help create an energy efficient alternative to bitcoin.

Worst illness I’ve ever had. Probably. Knocked me out cold for six weeks, lingering symptoms for months and months. All to play a stupid spin the bottle kissing game.

For some reason anything about Covid attracts all the HN cranks. Or just reminds me that HN is full of cranks. The kind of crowd that would get upset at calling Jan 6 an insurrection.
