In Germany we simply have driver education which is a bit more extensive complex than driving around a block once and making a single T-turn, then putting the car into park at the end. Sorry for sounding a bit snarky, but the consequences o

I acknowledge it, yes. And I should be more thoughtful of people with. for example, heavier levels of introversion than me. A really good setup would likely be something that respects all sides on the spectrum - people who prefer to be quie

What a horrible working style. You can be very productive while being social as well. In fact, the shittiest projects have consistently been those where people don't communicate and communication includes a human factor, starting at

Meat consumption is the number one issue and as someone who likes to consume meat I think that > It's easier to change ourselves is a bold statement. Maybe some of us can muster up the will to resist $5 meat packages in the supermar

Going to be interesting how Facebook will handle the (legal) fringe and subvert creativity when it doesn't fit their business model. Any such VR world should be openly developed and not be provided by a corporation who can selectively

What basically kicked off major concerns for me were articles and reports about human cases where people are too disabled to express their emotions and thoughts. Think strokes, major head trauma or birth defects. From this perspective, I

If a random PBH of 9mm traveled at near light speed through Earth, would it even pull anything into the event horizon that is not within close range of that 9mm diameter? For example, it travels through Earth and then leaves a 9mm hole thro

There are countries where people don't get fined for calling an ambulance due to personal financial damage. Even though misuse happens, it's minuscule compared to the benefit of general healthcare and not having to pay thousands o

And this is bad how? I live in a German population center with many many mosques and it affects me in exactly zero ways. I know _no one_ who regularly visits a mosque, let alone trying to convince others to join. We have religious freedom i

Uhhh that assumes alien life has the same intent as current us. Intelligent alien life may just as well have explored a lot, figured "meh..." and build a few Dyson spheres to spend the rest of their existence in a perfectly plea

It's not dark matter because it blocks light. It's dark matter because its only observable interaction is by gravity. So aside from being perfect in terms of energy capture so that the underlying stars emit absolutely no EM at any

It's concerning how typical the hype machine is in IT. I believe Serverless has its place and value. So does Kubernetes or many other products that are often discussed on HN. But let's be clear, we are talking about commercial p

Germans/Europeans might feel with me: I had the pleasure of using Sky to watch Game of Thrones and a few movies and it was the most abysmal experience I have ever had. Your account is an email combined with a 4-digit NUMERIC-ONLY (!) &

This completely dismisses any tangential factors, of course. Going earlier might be an advantage, as new ways to kill each other (or kill Terran ecosystems) emerge. Going later to optimize for time is one aspect of deciding how to spread th

He gets this from nowhere and just proceeds to nonchalantly throw in stupid remarks in a debate that he doesn't like. It's an attempt to derail the discussion about proper solutions.
