Creating a specific model from one artist shortly after their death is just plain gross and deserves backlash. It's not a good proxy to talking or thinking about these issues more carefully. I think there is a big difference between fe

Your suggestion seems to be that requiring warrants is going to make the investigations more efficient (as poorly evidenced cases will not result in a search). I would love to see evidence there, I think that's wishful thinking. Requir

The difference, like many things in traditional finance and cryptocurrency, is disclosure. The activities of the market makers are well disclosed in a comprehensive IPO disclosure document. Importantly, any relationship between the underwri

While the article you cite does not identify changes to US state taxation, in this period we've had an incredible reduction in corporate taxation at the federal level, so I'm not sure I find the research paper convincing for the l

I can confirm what another commenter wrote - what I was told by my doctor is that this is very uncommon now, at least in California, where the guidance is to only do it in very limited circumstances. On the other hand, even one IVF embryo h

Apple constantly spams you with popup ads for their cloud services, far worse IMHO than any start menu nonsense. To each their own.

I prefer to buy books on another device anyway, so I wouldn't say the device is pointless, but it certainly isn't great.

Kindle unlimited - great for pulpy sci-fi books. Some people hate it, but I enjoy it and it's a killer feature for me.

It's an interesting comment. Some believe that VW will make Scouts a direct to consumer brand, like Tesla, rather than part of the VW dealer (or any) network. I try to avoid VW brands because of dieselgate - don't want to support

I don't think this is accurate, certainly law firms are ahead of technology firms and I think traditional finance firms are ahead of crypto firms. I'm not sure how frats are relevant here, nor sports teams.

I disagree with part of the thrust of this argument. One of the most hidden things in crypto (despite the transparency of the chain), is who owns, controls, buys and sells coins, in particular related parties to the founders. The disclosure

The intelligence was leaked so that the world would know that the invasion was pre-planned by Russia, rather than some organic response to some act by Ukraine. And I think it was very successful at that. Historically when something like thi

This is so sad and dystopian. I guess restaurants, hotels and other businesses should be able to exclude disabled people too?

>She said it was being trialed by the military, in reality what had happened was Mattis said he would be able to introduce the technology to the military. This type of "abstraction"... That's pretty far from a fair summary

Completely agree - why daylighting isn't more comprehensive in SF boggles the mind. Someone above blamed the A-pillar. I think parked cars are a significantly worse problem in SF for turning visibility and daylighting is very limited.

Are you proud of what Assange actually did in Sweden? Taking off a condom mid sex or lying about wearing one? It's called stealthing and very much a terrible thing to do.

I know HN loves Assange but comparing an unsubstantiated stamenent that US persons talked about extreme measures, vs actual poisoning is pretty weak.

I think there is a quasi-unique problem with Libreoffice. People love Word and Excel, in ways they don't Windows and other pieces of software that compete with FOSS. Those two programs are so well polished, user-friendly and powerful,

I find it really odd that they chose server side rendering. I only did a very brief demo of it, but I was not impressed.
