That’s a very solvable problem of bad signage.

An explanation, sure. A justification, no. Just a reminder: the autism spectrum is wide, and two autistic people are likely to be more different from each other than a neurotypical person.

Based on yesterday’s thread where Matt started answering questions about the lawsuit here on HN, I doubt losing half of the legal team would make any difference.

If all of those 100M AA batteries were laid out flat, they would cover over 13 football fields (70000 sq m), including the Chargers home stadium.

Some of them are very moderate, some of them have become more radical. But all of them are tied to a national brand which is not particularly electable here. Christian populism cannot win a majority here, yet to secure the right of their pa

We should do the same thing in software engineering. After 4 years in web dev, you have to switch to something else like embedded systems or DBA. Or be forced to become a highly paid consultant.

I think California might have a better run government if it had an electable conservative party. The Republican Party is not that, being tied to the national Trump-Vance-Orbán axis. A center-right party could hold Democratic officers accoun

To be fair, clowning around is a lot more tractable than homelessness, housing prices, health care, or immigration.

Easily, assuming you have solar panels that could survive the temperatures of the lunar night.

I’m sure the superintelligent AI will convince humans to transport its core while plugged into a potato battery. But honestly did the supply chain attack on Lebanese pagers last week teach you nothing? AIs should be great at that.

> The nonprofit is core to our mission and will continue to exist. Mere existence is the lowest of bars, kind of a funny way to clarify how core something is.

I’m not sure what you mean by “without the need to be monitored by adults.” A friend of mine from college was prosecuted for letting her kids play alone in the park across the street. Leaving kids alone outside in a US city park is child en

Most vatniks have similar takes, sadly. Remember folks, all Russia has to do is leave Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders and repatriate its citizens, and the war will be over at status quo ante bellum.

I don’t get the argument. Sure it makes Google ad targeting worse, why would Google care? They have monopoly power in online ads and targeting doesn’t work that well anyway. As long as people keep buying the gimmick, no amount of bad data w

The details may be scant but you can see the outlines of history there. Tolkien doesn’t invent social structures, he adapts European history and only uses the elements he needs. https://nathangoldwag.wordpress.com/2024/

It’s not Mickey’s fault that a foreign company created a theme park with their corporate mascot 20 years later. Just one of those weird coincidences hahaha.

Agreed that the criticism is unfair, I’ve heard him interviewed and he’s a genuine-seeming nice guy. But getting Victor Orbán to write the foreword to the book is plenty to make me worry about his sense of entitlement.

Australia could make their land more productive with desalinization. Expensive energy is the main reason it isn’t done (what to do with the waste brine is the other bit).

As economies fully industrialize and embrace computerization, they’ll face the same problems as Japan: long lifetimes and low birth rates upend demographics, meaning economies can’t rely on population for growth. Large swathes of rural area

You don’t have to be a fascist to support the arms industry existing. Oddly enough, even some libertarians think that having a military is a good thing for governments to do. Military strength is a Red Queen’s race; you need to run just to

The main problem is that future values of TAI converted into most time zones is nondeterministic. On the other hand, at least you can guarantee all TAI seconds will actually occur.

Again, that might work fine for veterans, but not for victims of peacetime rape and horrific accidents who have similar symptoms. The syndrome needs a common name, like: he has “the horrors”.
