I don't think it's a grift in the negative sense but this is absolutely a marketing comment. They're doing exactly what they say to do in the comment. They're on HN where at least some of their target market is. They h

It matters if you care about being accurate, and having a reasonable definition. It's the same reason you don't include suicides in figures about gun violence if you're actually interested combating gun violence and not just

Why does the differentiation matter? There is this tone in a lot of these discussions that the police are going out and hunting young unarmed black men and it simply doesn't line up with reality.

And it's important to note that these different gun laws don't actually meaningfully affect crime, particularly something as exceedingly rare as a mass shooting.

Each one of these has a knee-jerk European response that either completely ignores reality or violates a half dozen or more laws. Two examples: 1. "Police violence." What violence? Against whom? In a year approximately 50 million

The probability that I've driven on a Kazakh or Kyrgyzstani road is 0, as is the probability that I've died on an American road. The math checks out.

Fees are not refunded and additional chargeback fees are levied regardless of the outcome of the dispute. How exactly are they suffering?

Name two non-military things that the government owns and aren't complete dumpster fires that barely do the thing they're supposed to do. Even (especially?) the military is a dumpster fire but it's at least very good at doing

How exactly does one add a tariff to a foreign-based chat bot?

I don't understand how but somehow "fiat currency" in a comment seems fine and "fiat" seems derogatory in that "get ready to read some crazy shit" kind of way.

The average personal home is absolutely not placed in a trust. It can be but moving your residence into a trust for estate planning purposes is not a common thing.

Software engineers are just normal people. Our brains are not "special." This (objectively incorrect) mental model of software devs is very harmful if you want to actually understand things going on around you.

When I studied political science and economics in college we had a lot of really intriguing discussions around the rise of fiat currency, its pros and cons, its effect on global trade, etc. Some really well thought out opinions on both side

I said nothing about how "civilized" anyone is. You can be a civilized person and be completely immoral. They're unrelated.

What does physics, chemistry, or math have to say about the vice or virtue of leaded gasoline? What's the equation where the right side says "good" or "bad?"

You state this as if it's a fact but I think most people would disagree. If morality is subjective, then that means there is nothing objectively wrong with murder, rape, pedophilia, chattel slavery, or any number of things that most

I think they can be separated though there's certainly overlap. But standards are going to be coming largely from pilots. Regulations are coming entirely from bureaucrats.

Not trying to be pedantic but how can something both "be urgent and critical" and have been a problem for "a few decades?"

You seem to be confusing aviation standards with aviation regulation.

The core competency of most software companies is not software, I'm not sure how GM thinks it can do anything halfway decent (it can't).

Your hubris would be justified had every media outlet and pundit been talking ad nauseam about how Trump was absolutely going to sweep the field, but they didn't. Harris losing was a shock to many, many informed people. Claiming "

Even if "bullshit is inevitable" is true -- I don't think it is -- that doesn't mean we shouldn't punish people who make up data, who steal others' work, who steal grant money by using their fake data to justif

It can be dismissive but also true. I used to make fun of (or deride) all the "RTFM" people when I was a junior too. Why can't you just tell me how to do whatever thing I'm trying to figure out? Or point me in the right

I haven't had time to dig into this yet but I played the tic-tac-toe demo at the bottom of the page and it seems pretty interesting. The code is easy to understand. How do you see this being used in a "real" application? Do y
