I really wish people that think HN is a hot bed for libertarianism would notice how many NYT links are consistently on the front page, while mises links are conspicuous by their absence.

Sharing your feelings doesn't really mean breaking down crying when anything remotely bad happens to you in life. It can just be talking frankly and openly about challenges you face in your life. Is that at odds with being stoic?

Most politics is just whatever serves your needs in the end for most people Hear, hear! Political discussions online used to be much more fun until I realised this.

HN used to be libertarian I think. Tech did in general. But I suspect it's not libertarians writing long drawn out codes of conduct in the past few years. I often read that Facebook should be nationalized here. It's like reading d

I did. It looked like a diff, and since I don't have much interest in the internals of v8 I closed the tab. Welcome to the internet!

I learned flexbox since I thought... well you were supposed to. Should I have been using grid all along?

Colbert was hilarious when he played a blowhard obnoxious conservative. Now that plays a blowhard obnoxious liberal it's not nearly as funny, like he's not putting the same effort into this persona.

From the article: "...I care about the speed of the compiler. I am not a zen master of focus, and waiting 10+ seconds is wasteful, yes, but more importantly it breaks my flow. I flick over to Twitter and suddenly 5+ minutes are gone.&q

Same issue in New Zealand. There's even a cottage industry of corrupt TEFL schools so you can meet the language requirements. In a way I hope it gets worse, to damage beyond repair the integrity of a university education. I think it&#x

Interesting fact, but not sure what Canada or Australia are doing in that list. Maybe they're in Eurovision?

Is most of the spanish speaking world developed? Off the top of my head that would be Chile/Argentina/Uruguay/Spain. Mexico + Central America would dwarf those populations I would think

In regards to the GDPR, I imagine most people continue to ignore the laws of jurisdictions they have no presence in. If they have an EU presence they will follow EU laws, same as if they had a presence in China or North Korea.

It absolutely has a mechanism - property damage the private ownership of the means of production Is there any reason you're using marxist terminology?

Whenever people talk about 'capitalism' like this it's usually a communist dog whistle. Otherwise they would talk about specific issues, not "the system is making us do it maaan".

What's your argument? You've so far told mecapitalism leads to terrible things happening in the name of growth unless there are laws against it, which there are, as 'capitalism exists inside a framework of laws'. Your ow

The US scrapped alcohol prohibition due to its unintended side effects, and is increasingly scrapping marijuana prohibitions. Often the downsides do outweigh their utility.

I never understood the big deal about Mein Kampf. It's incredibly dull. If the premise is you're worried about people becoming Nazis, then his speeches are what you ought to be worried about. He rose to popularity through his spee

People here are very dismissive of 1, but IMO they are being short sighted. Dictatorships are brittle, their power is extremely secure, up until it isn't. When the communist party rule does end, I think it will happen quicker than peop

Minors cannot consent because they, in general, have a mental deficiency called "being young". Being young is not a mental deficiency. There are 17 year olds smarter than a legion of 70 year olds will ever be. Saying all young p

I think the correct POV, moreso for the single-man company, is that running a server to perform a task is the overengineered option. I was all gung-ho about serverless for a while. I wanted to release a demo for my product and thought I&#
