With that 60k number on the table Im wondering where people think a universal basic income might fit into this discussion?

So do amino acids self-replicate on their own in some way independent of DNA / protective membranes etc? A little beyond my 8th-grade understanding of science but trying to get there...

Thats a great thought and those are great suggestions. Thank you! :)

Do you have a link to an article on that? Would love to check it out.

lol, if only? :^p I recently set up a little discord community and corresponding github repo for a couple of other artists trying to break into tech to share resources, connect etc. Hit me up on there or github for sure! https://

Hey thank you so much! Semi-related, I've been trying to get some resources together for a handful of artists / musicians trying to break into tech on this linked repo. If you or your artist/SWE friends have any suggestions o

As a practicing visual artist / art school hippie who recently got into working as a software engineer I got really excited when I saw this, noted problems aside. But I wasn't surprised to see it was limited to UI/UX. I'

Im a little confused, what are the arguments for and against Boudin here?

by pkdpic_y9k 5y ago
As someone who fought hard to switch careers into this industry and teaches software engineering now I understand the impulse to think this but I have to say all my experience thus far contradicts it.

again, I love me some doom trolling but only if it helps motivate work, and if software engineers can build platforms that undermine democracy I gotta believe its at least possible they can undermine bad politics too

Also the best life direction advice Ive ever encountered is in the first chapter of Liu Cixin's Ball Lightning novel. I seriously wish Id encountered that book when I was in my 20's.

Thats a pretty solid breakdown, but that 3x10^12 was a little more hope-inspiring than I was expecting. Seems like a workable part of a larger multi-pronged solution if you streamlined the plants metabolism (?). Then again I dont know what

Not unless we all work our asses off! Engineers can do anything :^)

Does this include ocean farming based carbon capture? That sounded like a pretty positive route in terms of land use limitations when I heard about it.

Heck yeah, this why I keep coming back the HN community. But if you gotta get that doom trolling out too its all good as long as it reminds us all how hard we gotta keep workin :^)

This seems like the most actionable / non-gatekeeperie advice here.

I just regrettably got rid of my iphone 5S this year. God I miss that eighth inch jack... Why did I get rid of it again?

My life made no sense and felt like an endless pointless drift until I started teaching, first as a volunteer, and then later getting underpaid at a software company whose mission I believe in. Don't take your STEM abilities for grante

That's a nice clean breakdown of that wording issue. I get her point though I guess, but I was hoping there might be something deeper.

This one time I had a waiter who it turned out wasn't even our waiter and we gave him our money and the food was good but where did he get the food? Also there are some great thoughts in this thread on why there is such a shocking amou
