The one with the most cultural influence across the western world, whose messaging is parroted by everyone else? Come on let’s not pretend we don’t have a default.

Driving polarization is a conscious strategy of leaders and the media (especially a particular large corporate media outlet, which is worldview shaping for a large part of the population), isn’t it? You could argue that the system rewards i

Am I mixing it, or is Germany's Minister of Justice?

Yeah, they could. -- You've changed the contents of your comment. I don't adhere to the American Civil Religion, so I don't need to consider opinions of the founders of the project.

Question to Chinese citizens on HN: do you feel oppressed by your government? Do you feel that rule of law exists in China? The notion of encrypted private communication didn't exist a couple of decades ago and people are talking about

It seems to me that government spending isn’t a number in the collective consciousness. It’s the idea that the big gubermant is waisting my money. How much money is actually spent where isn’t a part of that debate and effectively doesn’t ma

Inflation is easily gamed by manipulating the basket of goods used to determine it. Unemployment can be manipulated by only including people who „actively search” for the job, and tweaking the definition of „actively”, counting part timers.

Isn’t it funny that there are like 3 numbers that matter to people when evaluating economic conditions? Inflation, unemployment, GDP. It’s like we’re incapable of nuance on a societal level.

Inflation is only bad when you have cash. On the other hand low unemployment creates a pressure to raise wages. Which causes the inflation because you can charge people more.

I love using AI to set up projects in 5 minutes but I hate to develop these projects using AI because inevitably it runs into a wall and I need to guide it and fix its code. I suppose in this case it picked up an existing project and DIDN’T

What I would need is a statically typed language that has first class primitives for working with untyped data ergonomically. I do want to be able to write a dynamically typed function or subsystem during the development phase, and „harden”

Does the company still pay the 100k if the applicant loses the lottery?

I'm sorry, but if you have all the time in the world and you decide to spend it on a "good daily routine" then I don't think there's hope for you.

Money lets you choose what you do. Sam Altman says "don't waste time", because he has the choice what to spend it on, and possibly the illusion that most people have that choice.

Yes, an extra free day is possible. More than that? You tell me.

Are your friends and family going to move to Vietnam with you? I wonder what "stuff" you have in mind. I don't spend money on luxury items.

Time passes quickly because of jobs. We go in on Monday, we skip the week and come out on Friday, flushing 70% of our time down the toilet. It's tragic, and I don't want to suffer that fate. Alas, there's no escape for common

Personal responsibility, or lack thereof always seemed to me like one of these memes that are used to explain phenomena in a handwavy fashion. Does anyone have any data points that could help me update my world model here? I certainly feel

This is an astute observation, and if I may I’d like to add to it. When evaluating a news source for whether it’s unbiased, left or right, we necessarily look at the stories it presents and check whether they align with and present in a pos

For people using OCaml, there’s one thing that kinda discourages me in it, that is exceptions as part of the API in the standard library. Because exceptions aren’t checked, this effectively means that a language designed for type safety has

Good luck with your better framework, but if this is the biggest flaw… then there’s really not much to complain about.

If you need style encapsulation, use the Shadow DOM. Slots still work IIRC.

Shadow DOM is optional in Lit - you can just disable it on a per-component basis.
