In the EU, governments and actually trying very hard to discourage the spread of misinformation, as well as passing legislation that the tech sector has always claimed was not needed. So yes, it's very likely, as it's already happ

In this case I was referencing my own country, the Netherlands. We're heavily urbanized and no location in the country is ever more than 4 hours driving away.

I don't really know the stats, but I'm curious if this is true. Yes, GDP has been going up for a long time in many countries, and so the "average wealth" of each generation is going up. However, is the same true for purc

I don't understand how suppressors would work against figuring out the elevation angle of a sniper shot. Likewise, wouldn't multiple snipers all firing on the same fake target simply give away the number of snipers and all of thei

I think that an engine+battery that is both powerful enough to power the wings, and lightweight enough to be able to take off, is the real challenge.

Absolutely. Even if they don't end up backstabbing you, at the very least they'll be like: "Oh, you already dealt with the threat? Well then I think I'll just reinforce this turn."

Well I've played hundreds of games of Risk, against many different people IRL and also a lot online. IRL you'll see that people tend to be "nice", don't want to push you too far. And they're also willing to acc

This article suggests that you should not play too aggressive and not take continents too early (maximizing Reinforcing Feedback), because other players will then unite against you (Balancing Feedback). However, this article fails to unders

I don't really see why "being shunned" or "being a visionary" has anything to do with this, to be honest. If you set up a simple rule: "the results have to be reproducable", then surely it shouldn't m

Well, let's say that I could hypothetically buy both the Google store and the Apple store, and I raised the percentage cut from 30% to 95% on all sales. I'll even make it so that all apps are automatically available in both stores

The fact that you chose to comment on a "negative comment" simply by stating that it is "boring" and "pessimistic" is pretty funny.

I'm not sure if I understand your comment correctly, but India does subsidize meat production, especially for fish, pig and chicken.

I noticed that pythonhosted.org was shaky, which meant that `pip install` failed over and over again on different packages. CircleCI and Github were also affected.

I think people are afraid that instead of "tragedy of the commons", this will turn into "tragedy of the anticommons". e.g. a solution to global water shortages might be possible, but if it's not profitable then it w

Actually, I did mean to question whether this was a real person, and I did not realize this was against the rules, so for that I am sorry.

That's interesting, as I can't find anything about data storage control on the page at all. Also, I see this is your first comment on HN, welcome!

And when I say "reminds me a lot" I mean: hmm, the exact same font, menu, icons, emoiji's, buttons, color scheme.. to the point where I can't find a single difference.

Imagine being against taxation because "tax is theft", even though you use your country's infrastructure. And then agreeing to pay 30% tax to Apple or Google for every mobile purchase you make "for using their infrastruc

No sources cited. And this quote: "In men, the brain activity for moving and talking is drowned out by the brain activity for the transfer of information." Seems very unscientific to me. Strange article.

It depends on whether you're talking about actually depressed people, or people just "feeling a bit down". It seems like you're referring to the latter. Depression is a very serious medical condition, often leading to su

I think the rationale here is that the market is rational, and if people were to consume less meat, less meat would be produced. And that makes sense to me. It's not as if we're killing 3 billion animals per day just because we ca

I think the moral question of whether raising and killing animals for slaughter is a bit too hard for me to just set aside, to be honest. And saying vegans are not being sustainable for eating "exotic" food seems absurd to me, har

Imagine doing free work for a company to prove that you could do the same work for a salary, and then not even getting to talk to the recruiter. What a great time to be alive.

It's almost as if you've built your garden right in the middle of their habitat. But seriously, I come from a family of farmers, and I know that the things that farmers do to animals is way worse than anything you've describe
