Yes, having built a ton of cabinet doors before for a similar project, I realized the allure of the cost savings (the raw materials are so cheap!) blinds you to the massive amounts of labor involved.

"Judge Edward J. Davila ... sentenced Ms. Holmes to 135 months in prison, which is slightly more than 11 years. Ms. Holmes, 38, who plans to appeal the verdict, must report to prison on April 27, 2023. Federal sentencing guidelines for

They were clearly implying that his girlfriend father's being an economics professor was somehow a critical part of perpetuating the scam. The people who were scammed were crypto investors who chose to put their money in an unregulated

And the customers who signed up for FTX did so because the girlfriend of the owner is an top econ professor? And you think SBF will escape accountability due to his connections? He won't If you think those connections helped him get V

I don't think being an econ professor is quite the position of power you think it is. Source: I have many friends who are professors including econ professors. The Wikipedia pages of all of these people only relates to their relations

Well I think M1 probably put the nail in the coffin but I agree, probably still fails anyways. Mighty is cool and useful, but is it cool and useful enough for the non-trivial server costs? $20-30/month is a lot for a service.

If my neighbor came to my house and said their missing laptop is showing up in my house and I didn't steal it I'd obviously let them come in and see. Since when do you treat your neighbors with that kind of default animosity? If t

I'm no window expert but I can feel infrared heat through my windows and I have pretty standard windows so I doubt most windows block infrared light.

The spike protein was selected because prior research into SARS and MERS showed that vaccines targeting the spike had the best immune response as compared to other proteins. They were aware it could mutate because the spike of SARS2 was di

Yes I do anticipate that happening, but it's no guarantee. And even still doing 3-5 years of very hard parenting work to get to that is a lot... And I didn't even carry the children which is another year of very hard work! I'

FWIW I have two children, aged 3 and 6 months, and I would say it is about accurate (for me) that the first hour is enjoyable and then the next 10 are less so. It's a chore that you are doing every single day. However, the older they g

Perfect, so you have no problem with Microsoft having this policy! Problem solved.

Which is why doctors and lawyers, two of the historically most highly paid and high status jobs, now graduate more women than men. Or wait a second, I guess it isn't public knowledge doctors make a lot of money.

And Men obviously care about being doctors and lawyers more than women, too, of course for the same reasons. 60 years ago >90% of lawyers and doctors were Men and because the desire to be a doctor or a lawyer is mostly dictated by a pers

So we throw up our hands and perpetuate the obviously unjust status quo?

My CS classes in college were literally 98% male and 98% white and Asian. You are talking about a slippery slope to distract from the obvious existing problem. There might be a slippery slope in the future, I agree, but that doesn't me

So even if we have aggregate statistics showing how certain groups of people are disadvantaged, the fact that the rules do not apply universally means we should just ignore them?

Bovada live betting did (at one point at least) let you bet on whether the next play in a football game was a run or pass and what the outcome of a baseball at bat was going to be (hit, strikeout, etc). I don’t know about field goals in a b

Very few people charge their cars at the most expensive time of day anyways. For about a 3-day period during a historical heat wave throughout California we all did have to reduce our electricity usage for about 3 hours each day, which was

The U.S. marine corp promoted its first black 4 star general this year. I don’t think it’s the shining example of a race-blind institution, at least as far as leadership is concerned.

Only on HN would the prevailing thought be that leet-code interviews are stupid but IQ is a magical, unbiased metric of a person’s ability and potential.

by peter422 4y ago
Why are you so concerned with the potential aggregate IQ difference of large groups of people? It’s irrelevant to the obvious and provable incidence of racism on the individual level.

by peter422 4y ago
So you believe that IQ alone is the most predictive metric for a person’s ability to what? Seriously who cares about a couple of IQ points?

Finally somebody has had the courage to point out the "critical flaw" in contemporary modern feminism, a philosophy noted for it's static nature and universally shared beliefs! Your thoughts and ideas are reasonable enough bu
