Everyone wants their grandma to get the most treatment possible, just no one else's. When it's "society" - people will say we're spending too much money. When the shoe is on their foot, people won't like it and

If you endlessly come up with more and more excuses I'm sure you'll eventually land on needing another earth. What can you do if a meteor hits? What then! Clearly it is oppressive because there is no other earth for me to back up

It's not impossible or difficult to self host. To build your own ISP is. Not a fair comparison. Yes believe it or not there was a world where you could host your own hardware! But you sold out then, and now you're mad about it. Wo

> Self hosting definitely isn't some magic way of preventing all censorship. There is no perfect pill. People who self host have higher protections than those that don't.

The only way to deal with it is through splitting these companies up - that's the only constitutional way, and we must start immediately. They're too big.

Socialism is a broad term and can cover a wide range of topics. Everyone who isn't pedantic understands what the title is saying. The current vernacular matters in words like democracy/republicanism/communism/socialism.

This attitude is what continues to kill us as a nation. "Everything is fine! remember this!" but if you look deeper most of it is not true. Things are not well for this nation. The capitol was just stormed. Those statistics are ea

Your entire comment is a strawman. Either way, your first comment is false. Sex is not free. I can't go outside and instantly have sex. I need a partner who is willing - which is, again, not free. > Women getting married and having

Baby boomers didn't have to spend hours in extra curricular activities in HS plus getting 5.0 QPAs to maybe get accepted into a good college so they can have a semi decent chance at a good living. My dad was able to go to a steel mill

Which young people don't have enough assets to take advantage of because most of their money goes to rent/loans. Then the eventual crash comes and they lose almost everything again. Why not take a gamble?

You're looking at it wrong. The supply is rapidly increasing. it doesn't matter that they move. Eventually there will be competition for jobs and prices will go down - because virtual work means the entire world is a job market.

Why should it matter if it impacts worker productivity? The whole point is that as more jobs are automated people work less and can still live.

The point the OP way back when is making is you can be social in suburban circumstances. It just goes back to the common theme these days - everything is something or someone else's fault. No one ever just says " man I'm feel

See this is exactly it - everyone overthinks everything. Everything has to be "Real friendship" What does that even mean? You're just talking to others to be a decent human being. Not everyone has to be your wife/husband

Again, this isn't some law of nature. I regularly connect with old colleagues, we all went our separate ways and a lot of our commonalities changed, yet somehow I can still talk to them, see what they're doing, etc.

This is not going to be true forever. The idea that devs in india can never be good as devs in the USA is so absurdly arrogant I don't know what to say. I'm sure mechanics thought the same, engineers thought "no way the japs

There's something more insidious to your analogy though. A lot of those banking jobs don't exist anymore. Any job that can be WFH will be easy to outsource. You aren't need in office so why do we even need you in this time zo

This makes no sense. Just because you switch jobs doesn't mean you can never talk to people at your old job never again.

Doctors are not all seeing gods. They need input from their patients - if you told your doctor that you have been actually dieting and actually exercising but aren't losing weight and wonder if there is some other cause? And if he won&

It's confusing but let's be honest, we aren't talking about really fit body builders with muscle. We're talking about people with excess fat. Body fat % is a better metric, but you don't really need that if you&#x27

> If you're obese its the ONLY thing you hear your doctor say. Yea because it will kill you early. Do you want your doctor not to talk about your health problems?

As someone who has lost 40 lbs and continues to lose weight, I get it, but at the end of the day you're the one who's going to get heart disease early, get diabetes, die young, etc, not the ones who aren't obese. Stop worryin

This is what always happens when I bring up product problems about EVs. Everyone on HN who owns a luxury car Tesla in SV or some major metro with their six figure plus salary gets all bent out of shape, and ask "omg why can't ever

by ntsplnkv2 6y ago
Because of the infrastructure surrounding it - e.g. fleets of cars taxis, public transit, etc. In other words, better options than having an owning an EV, which, if you pay attention, is what we're talking about here.

This is a textbook strawman. > So what, figuring out how people without a designated parking space can change their car is trivial compared to trying to undo global warming. No it isn't. NYC has limited space. There simply isn'

2 or 3 parking spots. It's a token gesture, not meaningful infrastructure. Electrifying an entire parking lot is a lot more expensive than 2 or 3 spots.
