Not trying to be edgy, but it strikes me as odd that, once you remove the obvious historic legacy and economic benefits to government, problem gambling is legal in 2016, but recreational drugs are not.

Homelessness in Sydney/Melbourne is extremely tame compared to SF. Especially areas like The Mission. I was floored on a recent visit at how bad the problem was.

Agree. I was glued to Adams' observations, who called this result in August of last year (one month before Trump's first big surge).

Call Trump what you will, but he played the media like Hendrix. They took the troll-bait and reported every outrageous soundbite gleefully, all in pursuit of a few clicks and ad-bucks. Meanwhile, Trump gained more and more of a platform an

Or don't? If you couldn't detect sarcasm in OP's writing, then you really need to go to human camp.

>The fetishized austerity and performative asceticism of minimalism is a kind of ongoing cultural sickness. It's hardly more than a design trend. Similar to naturalism in the 1970's, when the walls of your home and your televi

I become productive based on deciding I'm going to do something. Pause on that word: decision. We all have impulses, wishes, desires, etc. But you're only ever going to progress when you stop, think about what you want, be reali

This is just muck-raking. We're talking about a book written in his twenties, which he's previously distanced himself from and publicly retracted views. Never seen this kind of yellow journalism in The Guardian. Sign of the tim

As an Ai "hipster" (been into it before it was cool), it's certainly interesting seeing the mainstream culture now catching up to the implications it has. I'm glad this is happening, and I hope the discussion broadens a

C'mon, look at 'Hard Rains Gonna Fall'? Writing something with such wisdom and poetic deft at 22 years old? This award is massively overdue - not undue.

I get all that. But what I'm saying is that he has a distinctive voice. It's refreshing to have someone who isn't so polished. Sure, the dude stutters and stammers, but it's not to the detriment of being able to parse

Yeah you might want to spell that acronym out next time. BLM certainly has a bigger association for Black Lives Matter with most people, I would think. Was equally baffled.

This is a classic HN contrarian point of view that doesn't address this persons actual concerns. What you're saying is true, but AR/VR is magnitudes of scale more immersive than any tool or artform human's have had. You

Elon Musk is a great presenter. It's refreshing to have someone not overconfident and who is a little skeptical. The avatars did seem pretty childish, which makes me think this thing could be aimed at kids and teens. Makes sense, giv

Somewhere in the next 4-7 years, I predict we'll see Facebook give away free (or sell extremely cheap) AR glasses - which have a significantly reduced form factor.

Beware of the hype around "high CRI". It's more of a global snapshot of a light's various colour rendering abilities. I've seen some "high CRI" bulbs with shockingly bad spikes in certain colours. What

How is China with 'innovation' though? The portrait we seem to get so often in the West is that China excels at imitation and fails at original thinking. Maybe innovation isn't needed for domestic success, but it is for cre
