It’s a little mind blowing to see an atomic version of how business interests end up favoring outcomes that are negative for an entire country. If many of these small businesses end up dependent on low-wages, political instability, etc., it

Some people on Reddit found out that big investors were making bets that the company GameStop would fail. This type of bet is called shorting. The people on Reddit started betting the opposite way, which means the big investors might start

I watched the documentary called 1968 on HBO. It made me wonder if people knew they were in the middle of one of the most impactful years in American history (MLK and RFK assassinated, sentiment shift regarding Vietnam, Nixon elected, etc).

It does sound absurd, but I’m fully expecting someone to try this out “in the name of health and productivity.” Edit: Oh, it’s already happening: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25961202

There’s already ways to give negative feedback on a comment. You can downvote or flag, or even just collapse a comment so it doesn’t bother you. It comes off as presumptuous when people point at rules, thereby pulling the thread into a tang

This is a particularly low-tier way to troll on Reddit. It doesn’t seem like the problem is drastic there, or even here on HN. I think the problem does stem from a retweet having a vibe of “I endorse this message.”, regardless of what the r

Imagine this, but coming from an industrial building. During the lockdown, it seems like the office space across the street from my house lacked maintenance/security people. There were times when an alarm at the building would go off,

I assume incumbents might end up in the position where their smaller competitors have to deal with less regulation. For example, if MySpace had been treated differently than Facebook, it might have brought MySpace down much more quickly, bu

I’m currently organizing a roadmap for improving my full-stack skills. I work in JS with Node and React. Does anyone have any opinion on whether I should spend time learning Deno and Typescript instead of digging deeper into what I already

When I encounter that overwhelm, I try to break every single step down. “You’ll stand up off the couch, you’ll grab a trash bag, you’ll toss in trash, you’ll move dishes to sink, etc” That has helped me a little with the frequent procrastin
