Well you are doing a poor job of conveying it if your two biggest pain points are "git master" and "quantum supremacy". God help us this is the way all of these conversations have gone over the last 8 years. Group A: &q

The site's moderation isn't going to change because it's in no one's best interest except a bunch of us posters who don't bring in any money.

The flagging has become de facto censorship for HN and I really thought this is the last place I'd see it. Why is this OK except that some people with influence don't want topics hitting the front page? Should we forgot that PG

The demands of the administration are the demands of a bully who doesn't want your lunch money, he just wants you to know he can take it away at any time.

I don't buy it anymore. The billionaires are in charge and we can't fight them. Best thing do is run and hide.

I like to believe that no other countries are kissing his ass and all the calls were from the few true patriots that are hiding out in his administration. "Hello President Trump, I am the leader of Bigorgia. I know you are a big stron

I think the media continues to sane-wash him. The AP news headline of his recent meeting with Mark Rutte was "NATO secretary-general tells Trump he’s motivating alliance members to spend more on defense" It doesn't say anyth

My takeaway from what I've read and heard in the last few weeks is that his only actual motivation is to 'win'. He bragged yesterday that other countries are kissing his ass to negotiate deals on the tariffs. I think that was

I'm specifically sympathetic to kids who are not ( in the US ) given coffee or tea or alcohol and still get scolded about having anything but water. I've been there, it gets dull.

That is an impossibly stupid way to look at it. Food is not just a bunch of numbers on a label.

Nothing is wrong with drinking only water. Nothing is wrong with drinking something besides water.

I agree but no one makes headlines or sells books by talking about nuance and moderation so we get terrible advice from magazines and 'professionals' and all get steadily less healthy.

I drink water in the US every day just fine, I don't think there's anything cultural going on here. No one drinks coffee or tea or beer or wine in Italy? Pop culture has deceived me.

I don't entirely disagree but my kid was with me and I feel like I need someone now to reassure her that blending doesn't magically remove vitamins from food. ( I asked her if blending tomatoes for sauce removed the nutritional va

People below you in this thread are saying that fresh squeezed orange juice is little better than Mountain Dew. Something about nutrition makes people lose their minds.

The 'no fruit juice' thing really got on my nerves when my kids were little since people just throw it out with no qualifications. So really, if I cut up some oranges and squeeze the juice into a cup I can't give it to my kid

No, nothing vaguely critical of the current administration is allowed here now. Astonishing really, I didn't think it would happen on HN of all places.

I’m starting to wonder if posters are flagging everything in response to the clear political censorship going on. If everything is flagged than nothing is flagged.

One of my more effective uses of AI is for rubber duck debugging. I tell it what I want the code to do, iterate over what it comes back with, adjust the code ( 'now rewrite foo() so 'bar' is is passed in'). What comes
