Same for me as well. I thought the author was making a self-aware joke about people breathlessly self-promoting on substack, but nope.

I think it's both funny and sad that you're doing the exact same thing as the "bad" doctors in TFA and then are on here commenting about it. A quick search on Google Scholar for "caffeine pregnancy" reveals a n

What part of Austin are you in? I unfortunately moved to the yuppie part of east 6th and it’s decidedly less friendly than other places I’ve lived.

Serious question: is there any desirable city right now that doesn't have a housing crisis? A few weeks ago the discussion on HN was about Canada, this week it's about Australia, take your pick of coastal US cities and it's t

Bullshit. The world is absolutely packed with standards that are standards because of nothing to do with being "the best". Perfect example: the imperial measurement system. Another example: logographic writing systems. Another: qw

Interesting that they went with the top-mounted differential version rather than the central gearbox version. I'm guessing it's cheaper. The rockers are also a lot more angular than the real mars rovers to save on needing to bend

These are great examples. SpaceX is an aerospace company and Tesla's price and hype are based on not being a manufacturing company (Elon touted it as a transportation tech company and not a car company from the beginning). If either

Kind of. This team is specifically using hub motors, thus bypassing the need for traditional axles. Hub motors are notoriously inefficient, though, so you don’t see them in normal BEVs which typically mount the motors near the center of the

Alright we're done here since you don't care about actual financial facts. Denouncing people as trolls when they provide data that goes against your opinion is a bad look. Credit rating has nothing to with anything. I already prov

My point about the 30% rule for rent is that you calculate that based on pre-tax income. I provided median post-tax income, so to get pre-tax you need to know how much people are paying in taxes. I really don't understand your point

Your link was heavy on opinion and light on data, so I went looking for numbers on Canada to verify your assessment. Median income after taxes: $68,400 [1] Median rent (2 bedroom): $2,300 [2] Average tax rate (single worker): ~32% [3] If we

Again, what stats? Because that doesn't appear to be the case at all according to [1]. But let's take your word for it since you didn't provide a source. Here's an actual hard number: 170,000 tech workers cut this year a

Here's how it works in practice: You create a job posting that's buried on your careers page and has so many very specific requirements for an underleveled role (because it's custom-made for the H1B person you want to hire) t

Not sure how I was supposed to get that from your comment or why you think kerosene is a better solution when burning it in jet engines still puts greenhouse gas straight into the atmosphere? I feel like I missed some big piece of your argu

Perhaps that traditional engines shoot greenhouse gas straight into the stratosphere and that’s a bad thing?

Until very recently, iCloud was not encrypted by default. So in the case of a subpoena, they handed over all your unencrypted iCloud files, chat logs, backups, etc. That's much more difficult due to changes that just happened this year

Downtown Austin average rent is around $2,200 now [1]. Average in SF is, what, close to $3,500 now? Landlords everywhere pass along property taxes to renters, but even so, Texas renting is still cheaper than CA by a good margin. [1] https:

You should probably read the sources you post. Right from #1: "For instance, despite being listed as number 12 compared to Texas' 40th spot, the average Californian paid $9,612 in taxes compared to the average Texan's $8,006.

I think you're misinformed about modern BIA sensors vs. the cheap ones in scales. Here's a study for reference [1]. 97-98% as accurate as a dexa scan, but you can do it whenever you want, for free. [1] https://ajcn.nutr

Going to hard disagree here and say this is extremely person-specific. I already knew how to code in C++ and Python from high school AP classes. CS61A was awful for me and made me hate computer science. I tested out of 61B. 61C taught m
