Informal poll here: what do you think are the odds we find a solution for carbon storage in time for it to matter? Like, will we just learn to live with the consequences rather than ever returning to pre-industrial levels?

It still surprises me how perpetuating this stereotype of rural poor conservatives is A-OK.

I'm not saying it's nice to be poor, I'm saying it's a matter of perspective. I've met plenty of "poor" people, especially in developing countries who have been way happier (self reported and viewed throug

Judging by the sibling comments here, silencers are a hot button issue on HN. FWIW, silencers are as of this year purchasable without a permit in Sweden (a hunting permit is required which involves firearms training, but before a separate l

It's $5k a month, i.e. the same as five thousand euros a month. In rent. Now, I haven't rented in Paris, but in Munich, that would be a castle.

I don't know, it's pretty on topic, isn't it? This is the problem other big companies, e.g. banks and oil companies etc who get caught with the hand in the cookie jar. There's clearly a line where the company _shouldn&#x

I think what the parent is trying to say, is that if we really valued those things, they would be paid more. The thing is, cleaning toilets is pretty easy. I do it myself all the time at home. So is making coffee. It's not _the best_ c

Technically correct, but even GitLab has a relatively short list of countries where they hire[0]. Legal requirement are probably going to continue to limit the talent pool for the foreseeable future. [0] - https://about.gitlab.co

I think the article makes valid points, but I'll say this for Golang: at least it has a philosophy and sticks to it. It doesn't try to be everything for everyone (I'm looking at you, Scala). You pick the right tool for the jo

The way I think about it is the same as "should I learn Java in 2021". It's not fun, it's not cool, but there'll be work in it for the foreseeable future. If that's enough is up to you. I work at a bank and we
