To be fair, it's a bad title. We should be able to skim the headlines and get an accurate impression of the news items of the moment. This headline seems intentionally misleading. It should have been clear to the publisher that it woul

And the subject of this 2009 early-YouTube "viral" song: https://youtu.be/XOYAuk809fY?si=sFuFdmrF0cizn5W5 (Somewhat embarrassed to admit this is how I learned of Paul Krugman)

That is indeed how it is supposed to work. But things haven't exactly been working like they're supposed to lately. For FY26, when we had a PBR proposing massive cuts followed by a government shutdown with a long stretch where NAS

I heard advice from Adam Savage on the topic of cost-vs-quality that I've found to be quite useful. It was something along the lines of: When you're first getting into a new craft/hobby and need a specific tool, get the cheap

I hear this rebuttal a lot; here's why it doesn't work for me: I'm the exact same age as Zuckerberg. When I first read this quote, it struck me as a really gross mindset and a point of view that I could neither relate to nor

Maybe I'm too software-engineer-brained now, but to me it seems like lawmakers should just be using a tool like git directly. The legal code is a codebase, every bill is a PR, the arguments and proposed changes are captured in review c

A lot of times, being organized and tidy is more about feeling good than it is about saving time. If every time I open that drawer I'm a little frustrated, a little flustered, a little stressed, that's not just 5 seconds of "

Thanks to NPR for this important reporting; it sucks that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down after losing all of its funding. This "basked of goods" approach to understanding price inflation seems outdated to

On a related note, I see that my oldest "favorite" is from September 2016, but I've been on HN since 2009. Is that around when the "favorites" feature was added? Or is it possible that some older favorites have been

> pays more Definitely > has less bullshit Is there a Theranos equivalent in the world of math research? I'd argue "very different flavor of bullshit", but not necessarily less of it.

Just wanted to point out - because I was curious as to why they would post a video about learning to surf - that this is NOT a NASA video. This is from the channel of someone named "Tom Sachs", who happens to be using the NASA log
