> obviously not the case This is a strong claim. I thought there was a decent body of evidence that suggested most drivers make much less money than they think, when you take depreciation/repairs/etc. into account?

I agree with you entirely. Continuing with your hypothetical, even though we’d be 90% safer as a collective , the safety of the individual feels compromised: the risk of an accident is non-uniform when involving humans (depending on e.g.

Hmm, that’s a good point. It seems to be able to “transfer knowledge” for lack of a better term, so maybe it wouldn’t need to be in the dataset at all…

Not exactly, since the abuse needed to actually happen for the derivative images to be possible to generate.

Ooh, thank you for the correction. I thought “Bezos bought WaPo” equated to “Amazon bought WaPo” back when I read those headlines, but your comment made me realize it’s a separate entity rather than a subsidiary. I don’t think it changes my

Well, it does completely ignore the cultural identity of African-descendant people who don’t have slaves as ancestors (some of which were actually facilitators of said transportations, as well, but I suppose that’s tangential).

WaPo is owned by one of the richest ~corporations~ people (thank you for the correction) in the history of the world (~Amazon~ Bezos); it is in absolutely no way “top tier.” Imo, everything it publishes should be viewed as if it was filtere

Awesome, but it seems like it’s also missing: - an auto-playing ad covering the top half of the screen - a cookie pop-up with “Accept All” dark patterned in and covering the bottom half of the screen - a full screen email prompt popup once

Are you distinguishing between a PDF that downloads by default (rather than using an in-browser preview)? Because I’m that case, you could download the license page just the same.

Aren’t you re-distributing the font by using it on a webpage? Well, assuming you self-host or provide a third-party link.

Python’s venv dance only really comes into play if you need a third-party dependency that you haven’t installed globally. The Go dance is always necessary, which makes it slightly more annoying for short scripts or tests. I usually resort

What? No. Writing a well-spec’d feature request with clear outcome and behavior expectations is work. Just asking, “Wouldn’t it be cool if ____?” is not actual work.

It doesn’t deny causation, either.

The OP notes they’re referring explicitly to jobs with a 5 day work week, so your comments re: service industry, etc. are valid, they’re already excluded. Irrational might not be the right word; arbitrary is pretty accurate, though. If prod

Why do all of these smart, mathy STEM folk on HN have such imprecise takes on this topic? 1 account for both of you, filled proportionally to your incomes until your monthly expenses are covered + any savings you agree on. This is for rent,

Absolutely, and it can also easily lead to direct, personal benefits: How much less air conditioning do you need because your house has more shade?

Absolutely, and don’t forget that a ton of it (40% of food in the US is wasted ) just gets thrown away. Available =/= used.

> black and white emoji > less color Am I missing something or is there some overlooked redundancy here? I was really confused reading the title. “What does less color mean in the context of ‘black and white’? Less grayscale, maybe?”

While I do think the parent commenter’s callout was unnecessary, it’s also true that if someone’s pronouns deviate from the norm, you’ll find them, meaning not finding them likewise has high signal.

Russia is the world’s largest exporter of wheat and second-largest exporter of weapons. Ignorant comments like these do nothing to reduce tensions between Russians and the West.

Honestly? You shouldn't. There is so much we aren't privy to, and today's 240-character news cycle is full of rumor, hearsay, and lies, so any opinion or judgement formed is almost guaranteed to be flawed.
