CCTV in his cell conveniently malfunctioned. Psychologist took him off suicide watch when he clearly shouldn’t have been. Occam’s razor is invoked far too often here.

Not being able to type fuck is such a weird cultural quirk America has forced down our throats.

The problem is inflammation with no cause other than a breakdown of immune processes. I have an autoimmune condition and this tool could help guide treatment decisions.

Only because we haven't priced in the externalized costs of ICE (anywhere in the world).

One of the German ICE CEO's was going on about how they have over a century of experience and Tesla will never catch up. There is something in this as most parts of the car don't change when becoming electric and the bits that do

Considering where car manufacturers are now with their electric platforms I think 10 years from now would be ok and 5 years possible. Sometimes you just have to rip off the plaster.

The counterpoint is that Telsa managed to emerge from nothing in that time. Incumbent ICE car companies had no incentive to start the transition so it's necessary to introduce an artificial constraint.

Underwhelming. No more petrol and diesel cars in 20 years? That should have been the policy 20 years ago.

I'm not trans and I also wouldn't like to live somewhere where trans people are harassed. It's just not a vibe I want in my life.

I don't understand how this practice of using VC money to offer services below cost to undercut competition isn't illegal. In Ireland loss leading (offering certain goods below cost to entice customers who will then spend on other

OK. For the record I believe you however I would like to clarify I'm not wrong on the facts but I was wrong on the motivations. I hope you understand that the questions aren't personal but a reaction to what is happening in the br

YC got out of China but still invests in Chinese companies. At least that's what the press release that I read said. Is that wrong?

At some stage not taking a position is a position in itself, especially in matters of existential threat.

First let me say I think dang does an exceptional job (far better than I could) in moderating this site and I am very grateful for it. Anytime I have fallen on the wrong side of the rules dang has been very fair and patient. I don't di

Better than welcoming them in through the front door like we have been doing until now. It’s come to the point where we need to have a constant and sustain vocalisation against the CCP and the dystopian future they are building. They repres

Eventually sticking your head in the sand is condoning behaviour. I understand your perspective however given YC's conflict of interest due to investing in Chinese companies I think it would be prudent to stick YC's flag in the gr

It's the one reason why I have hope that Chinese world domination attempts will fall flat. They will just be out thought eventually if they continue down this road.

In contrast people are being forced to move now without UBI. Take Portugal for example. Lots of the younger generation can't afford to stay in Lisbon or Porto due to rising costs and low pay.

I don't think that is a concern. I had this exact conversation on Reddit a couple days ago. What I wrote: >The flip side is it's much easier to make up the difference due to the increased economic opportunity in <high cost o

The whole point of UBI is to remove means testing. I think we can set a number that works on average and let people move to suit their needs. We definitely should avoid all incentives to game the system as it will only distract and get the

All that will happen is people will pretend to live in rich expensive countries and actually live in cheaper countries. I already see this all the time with benefits.

My main concern is it will give non-technical managers funny ideas about what goes into writing code. Writing out what you want to do is the easy part. Figuring out how to do what you want to do in context of the broader environment is the

It’s unacceptable to ship this kind of security flaw even for a half baked internal proof of concept.

You make a good case for innovation through acquisitions rather than in-house development. Once the derisking aspect is factored in acquisitions suddenly look a lot more attractive.

I saw this type of thing coming a mile away and left GitHub as soon as they were bought by Microsoft. TBH even despite my inherent distrust of Microsoft this is way beyond the hypotheticals I had in mind when I deleted all content from my G
