I am 60. I was a little nerd when I was around 11-12 yo and I read all pop science magazines. Being afraid of an upcoming ice age definitely was a thing, many articles were written on it, quoting scientists, even in national newspapers. I r

I personally doubt the value of vaccination in the covid case where ~98% of the cases are pretty easily dealt with at home by most people's healthy immune system. I will not take it. If you want to be safe: sure take it, but it's

> having an excuse to go to war with China I don't see any evidence of that. The current administration is pretty friendly towards China. (China would lose though. Just block the oil and coal supply routes)

Even though everything kinda looks the same, there's still plenty of new tech left that IS fun and interesting. I kept reading HN daily, and I still pick up new tech, and ideas. BTW that's also the way to stay relevant and keep ge

Aren't you able to provide examples that you've seen happening to others in this site? Because if not nobody knows what you're referring to, and you could just as well haven't made the comment in the first place.

I'm not convinced calling someone the n-word is the same as threatening his life for that reason. So MAGA fan would be the same as the n-word, because I can tell my Bubba hey what are we going to do about the MAGA fanboy over there. I

Switch off you WiFi (and your modem if they're different). Stay up very late and switch them back on at 2am or so. Maybe the problem now occurs at 2am.

I teach CS in college. I've had kids. My daughter teaches in high school. And I'd like to say that I find it very shortsighted to think that remote learning for 6-year olds is even remotely comparable to remote learning for 15 ye

I would urge you to sit on your hands so to speak, and fact-check your own intuitive responses. For example (1) might be true, but how often? And Larry Elder seems to mean that 75% of black women is not married, how did that happen? 2) You&
