How is this a failure by software? The software categorized the sound as a fire work.

I mean, I get your point. The underlying data and studies should be analyzed and confirmed. But as the article mentions this is not the only study showing an under reporting of emissions, and as you said oil companies have obvious incentive

Oh thanks for this comment. A little over a year ago I started working for a Seattle based company (remotely), and this is done constantly. I had never heard it before and couldn't figure out if it was a really common thing that I miss

Taxing sugar means people can no longer heat their house or pay for gas? Sounds like a bit of a reach. How much exactly is Johnny Average spending on sugar every month?

Agreed, I was mostly complaining about using the phrase "the American Lifestyle" as if there was one lifestyle we all follow. There isn't, and the casual generalization of millions of people is inaccurate.

I agree with your overall point, but as a (nearly middle aged) American, I've almost never commuted by car or lived in a single family house as an adult. And frankly I'm sick of being lumped in to large generalizations of America

As a relatively new first time home buyer, I've found lawn care to be awful. Maintaining one actively harms the local ecosystem by removing native plants and replacing it with a monoculture, non-flowering, invasive, water intensive gra

I've been using an app called PlantNet that works similarly. Upload a photo, tell the app which part of the plant is in the photo (leaf, flower, fruit, bark), and it'll tell you what the plant is. Highly recommended as well, almos

Isn't that what this thread is about though? The complete end of renting in this downtown strip. The buildings are sitting empty and not renting.

I won't comment on how they came up with that number or how accurate it is, but Covid won't be the only killer. As one example, people who have heart attacks aren't going to get prompt care either with the medical system over

I don't know, I appreciated the correction and additional information. There was also an acknowledgment that it doesn't change ops point. Seemed like a useful comment to me.

It's a completely wild thought to most people. It's one of the reasons why so many people end up struggling with it. "That won't happen to me, no need to make a plan for how to avoid it or make a plan for what to do if i

That's not a fair comparison. Hacker News isn't making user based recommendations based on the content of the article or user preferences, Facebook is. FB's recommendation algorithm is tuned to promote (by their own admittanc

I mean, 2 million people in the US being discriminated against seems like plenty enough people for this to be a worthwhile discussion. But it's not just the number of people. It's also about how severe the discrimination against t

There's a lot of confirmation bias in this thread for sure. I thought I had COVID around February/March 2020. Roughly a year ago antibody tests became readily available, so I got one, and it came back negative. There was a strain

I mean you can say this same thing about several countries. USA, Russia, China all come to mind. Turns out countries with power often act similarly as people with power, unethically in order to advance their own interests. It's not jus

She might not be wrong. Some properties are landed on more frequently than others, and some give better rents for their purchase price then others. Properties and sets don't all have the same game value. You obviously have to balance t

If I had to guess, I agree most people probably continue to earn high wages once at that level. But I don't think it's a question of how often people decline high wages to take a lower paying job (although this obviously happens a

I would have a problem with a manager if they did this "publicly" within the team/company. Airing it out on twitter is even more egregious. "Severe incompetence" is somehow understating it IMO, although i can't

It sounds like to me that the argument isn't that an advanced technology will go back through the ledger and identify people. It's that once people have been identified/linked to a public wallet, it's really easy to dete

You seem to be putting a lot of words in OPs mouth. I didn't see OP making any sort of suggestion about whether to avoid the vaccine or not. It looked like they were simply explaining some possible outcomes of the vaccine that are unkn

You write like these are guaranteed outcomes, but organizations lose their ability to deliver value as they grow all the time, which is where startups come in... Granted YC is probably more aware of these downfalls than most companies, and
