This sort of over-the-top rhetoric gives anti-maskers their ammo. I am unaware of a single family, anywhere on the planet, that was "decimated" by Covid. I hope you really mean "devastated," because then at least you&#x2

Thanks for trying to help out, but that's the FDA, not CDC. And this is a much murkier situation. Ivermectin does seem to help Covid, but it looks like that's correlation, not causation. Astral Codex Ten has a great writeup on thi

It used to be a pretty short list, like NYT and Washington Post. But since the Trump era... honestly? None of them. I am literally unaware of a single mainstream television station, newspaper, or magazine that hasn't been caught in bla

I note how your comment has been largely ignored by... the massive numbers of Facebook and Google employees reading this site. If there was an ounce of integrity in Tech these days, this would have been called out, front-and-centre, and rem

In a previous sentence they mentioned TTP, then they mentioned P-n-s. I thought this was another acronym of sorts. Like "Posts not sexy" or whatever. I spent a couple seconds to figure out what it meant, failed, and just moved on.

Oracle. I'm not joking. I've seen actual companies use this stuff as a database server.

Never. The only proper response is to force healthy, thin, young people who've already recovered from Covid to get vaccinated. And continue to get tested for Covid before traveling.

I may as well throw in my anecdote. Interviewed at Stripe. It actually went reasonably well until one interview. Dude said he had attended one of my talks, then proceeded to take contrary positions on anything I had asserted in that talk. I

> That's the entire point. It's a piece of information that even when it's known by everyone still can't be reproduced. And yet, it can be reproduced. So it seems like the entire point is... invalid.

I wish I could be that guinea pig, but looks like this is a Windows-only thing, and I'm on a Mac.

That's an interesting take. Most everyone I know find Google's chat changes utter shit, and have found alternatives. Personally, I dumped it and joined a Slack community of the one person I talked with most on it. Besides being a

If it also supports auto-sharting, then I think it'll do fine.

You are on hacker news. Left is good. Right is bad. Facts and reality will not change this formula. You are absolutely right. Just read the comments, not even "on the internet" but right here on HN. Some even seem in favour of a..

Yep. The memory-holing is already going strong. In another year, all those "now-deleted" links won't work anymore, and everyone will keep claiming the government never lied, and you'll be a nutter if you claim the govern

Thank you so much for this reply! Means a lot to me to get some history.

Yeah. I'm fine with people choosing their path in life. I was only referring to their own statements and attitudes. Not trying to come up with some universal code of conduct or anything here.

It's their own judgement. They say they wish they were where I'm at. But sure, we can say they achieved just as much (and possibly more) because they achieved contentedness or happiness or whatever, which is great for them, and th

I think I found something else better than being smart: a high need for cognition. Possibly better than curiosity, but read below to find the nuance I find in that. I think I'm a little smart, but not too much higher-than-average. But

Zero comments? When the robotic overlords take over, it will not be to thunderous applause nor loud protestations, but rather quietly beneath the surface silence of billions of people distracted by something more interesting or enticing.

Notice how the USA is the top country in the world for getting ahead. If you want to work hard and become rich, that's your spot. Places with "robust workers rights"? Not-so-much.

Glenn Greenwald isn't a source. He's a journalist. He's an aggregator and curator of sources.

I personally know a guy who was homeless for over 15 years. He would soundly agree with Stossel's take. His opinion is... if I can attempt to summarise in a few words, that homeless people nearly universally choose that lifestyle, and

I'm with you. I don't know of such a thing. But luckily I differ from you in that I'm a type-A personality, and slow, relaxed work bothers me. I want the high-speed high-stakes atmosphere. I recognise that I'm not a norm

Just stop. Repeat after me: "My apologies. I got a bit angry and said some things I didn't mean."

What makes you think we're not already in that decade, and this is what it looks like when AI "fixes" things? Are you familiar with AI Alignment? When AI does work, it does not always align with human values and motives. And

Yep. Same. Read HN at least 2-3x/wk and use Stack Overflow and a bunch of their related sub-sites about the same frequency. No clue who this is or what the event is referring to. (Nor do I want to gain any clue)

In your edit, you probably mean Assange, not Snowden.
