When you choose a deal with Russia to screw up you neighbours, who also happen to be in a political union with you, you are not the "innocent" part of the situation.

As much, as plotting with Russia over the heads of Eastern Europeans.

Building a gas pipeline with an adversary to disadvantage your eastern neighbors was likely a bad move.

Yeah, I specifically addressed that in the post. Slack is not really that interested in me potentially thinking of leaving my employer or about me talking with a work friend about wanting to get a raise. My employer might be.

My main issue with this new Campfire thing is that since it's self-hosted, my boss can basically read all my chats with coworkers. Sure, Slack's priciest plan lets them do that too, but most Slack setups I've seen don't

The real question isn't whether withdrawing from the North Atlantic, Japan, and similar locations will save money. Instead, it's about whether remaining there is more cost-effective than having to reclaim these areas in 20 years f

“For in grief nothing “stays put.” One keeps on emerging from a phase, but it always recurs. Round and round. Everything repeats. Am I going in circles, or dare I hope I am on a spiral? But if a spiral, am I going up or down it? How often —

Which makes sense, since people who "migrated" to Threads mostly done so because they disagreed with Musk on politics. People who use Twitter for non-political stuff had much less incentive to move and largely stayed.

What a wild take. Epic doesn't care about me either. What difference does it make? Are we supposed to judge if something's right or wrong based on who's doing it, rather than what they're actually doing?

Not to mention that it's not only "the amount of knowledge" but the correct application of probabilities. And while we know that people can improve in the former, we are pretty hopeless in the latter.

“Medicine is just so much more than collecting information — it’s all about human relationships,” maybe if you are rich. For most people medicine is going to a GP once or twice a year, spending an hour in a queue, then seeing a doctor for 1

I hate the "trauma" talk as much as the next guy, but I REALLY love how she just jumped in full force from the get-go and totally sidestepped their nonsense arguments. It's seriously awesome that she taped the meeting and put

The day we start treating ex-communists the same way we treat ex-fascists, maybe more people will care.

The time I "wasted" with Gentoo in 2005 taught me enough about how Linux works to land me my first real IT job. I will forever be grateful to that distribution.

This is kind of interesting when you think of what would happen if someone decided to "impose" the use of "you" instead of "thou". In English it happened organically. Take communist Poland, for example. The r

Great take. We all know that America has no interests abroad, and it's always better to let the international order unravel. That way, we'll be sending our troops instead in a few years.

What you are seeing is Rousseau-ian philosophy in action, which is super prevelent in certain parts of the academia. The "noble savage" trope, the belief that it's the civilisation that made people violent.

No, I don't think "some gay romance" is a problem. Being gay is nothing new and you can totally make believeable gay romances. I do think that "being a 2023 san francisco gay in faerun" is making the game feel less

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who finds the game's romantic elements peculiar. I'm fully anticipating backlash for expressing this view, but to me it appears the romance plot was crafted to mainly accommodate vari

My first boss told me once: "You can either change your job or change your job" and that's how I always looked at it. Try to effect change, but don't force it.

This all falls apart as soon as you look into the night sky and see that, no, we are actually not running out of resources any time soon.

The reason for the article is not to give a good recommendation to people but to promote Tuta (looks like an ad campaign that started about 2 weeks ago: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=tuta.com ).

Tangentially to the topic of the blogpost, has anyone else noticed that many recent articles on Hacker News feature AI-generated illustrations? They seem to have a unique, AI-specific style and that weird "uncanny valley" like qua
