I have a morbid fascination with trying to predict the most down-voted comment theme for any given HN thread. I was quite excited to find out how someone would inevitably manage to enrage people in a Bluey thread, but someone managed!

I'm talking about gutters on the street, beside the kerb. I thought this was implied after I said "keeping your block clean by sweeping and mulching". You routinely see older people in Asia sweeping and raking a communal area

Why would there not still be gutter cleaning or ditch digging companies? Or people cleaning their own gutters? I'm not familiar with UBI proposals that do away with traditional enterprises; it's generally suggested as raising the

Let people choose if they want to do something, but have a concerted effort to encourage/suggest things that might give them purpose and build a community. Leave them to decide their hours and effort. Maybe someone wants to clean the g

I think there's a similar trap when you're using it for feedback on an idea or to brainstorm features and it gives you effusive praise. That's not a paying customer or even a real person. Like those people you quickly learn a

One suggested weakness of UBI is a lack of purpose. I wonder if the "solution" is somewhat as you implied: jobs without a strict return on investment. You get your stipend, but you're keeping your block clean by sweeping and

I'm not sure that's an experiment we'd see unfold due to NIMBYism. (Not commenting on whether that's an appropriate reaction, just that it's inevitable.) So I wonder if within realistic constraints it's still a

And then once Australians revered Toyota as the choice of farm utes (Hilux) and bush bashers (Landcruiser, etc), we railed on the Korean brands. And now that the Korean brands have found their place, the Chinese brands cop it next.

(Adding on, not disputing.) If cooking meals in that situation, I'd suggest using a camp stove outside at parks and for lunch. The more you look like everything is under control, the less police will focus on you. Flip the norms and ea

Is there a reason you're hooked on the desktop computer? Maybe you invested a lot in it as a gaming setup? I'd offload it, get a laptop and you're then capable of charging at a library, working there or in the car, in a park,

First time I went to HK in the 90s, I remember being insanely impressed that I could go down the lift in our hotel and step out into an underground department store and food court full of stalls. And then from there, a tiny walk to countles

In the screenshot on your site alongside the "No more typos" feature, you have a typo: "United Helathcare". Also an error in the 'extraction' of the phone number ("-55-").

I don't think it will prevent this from happening, but one interesting thing is that two quite different (political) sides appreciate and make use of BLM land. The US does a pretty decent job of accommodating quite disparate groups: de

Alexa is also very convenient for kids queueing up music or asking quick animal/etc questions that I couldn't answer (what sound does x make, how many teeth does a y have, etc). In both cases, I'd prefer they do this briefly
