I don’t particularly know what to think about the common separation of woman from the population in these discussions. I understand that Palestine is probably somewhat misogynistic compared to my American sensibilities, so I might be comple

If a murderer lives in your house for decades and you knew they were a murderer and were plotting more murders but you did nothing to root them out yourself, maybe you’re an accessory. It probably doesn’t justify the death penalty, but it a

Twitter has surprisingly become much better since Elon purchased it. The community tags are great and non-partisan, they fairly report on all inaccuracy. Even advertisers aren’t immune, I’ve seen community tags on paid ads calling them out

Semantics, but important: they said they’d never call or text YOU for the code. In this case you called them and they asked you.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess everybody who stays home to look after a child should have their GDP contribution rated the same as a professional provider. I'm surprised this wasn't taken into account long ago? Are homemake

My entire life, I've been a night owl. I'm prone to depression in the mornings. I prefer to avoid doing anthing in the AM. In the evenings, I can have a lot of get-up-and-go energy and can be positive about a lot of ideas, but whe

What? Deranged? A statistic can’t be deranged, only what actions one takes because of it. If a high earning person could take in more than the cost of child care, but chooses to stay home, it does impact GDP. It still might be a fine decisi

Afaict, the reason they announced that they most definitely may be going into bankruptcy next week is to play hardball with their commercial land lords and try to get a deal which will keep them alive. The idea being that the landlords (and

Your usage of XX and XY has my interest piqued. Does that shorthand save typing over man and woman or male and female? Or is the goal separating phenotype from genotype and being scientifically and politically clear what the discussion is a

The idea that your muscles have enough strength on the upstroke to contribute meaningfully to cycling is actually a bit of a misunderstanding. Your leg muscles for lifting are much much much weaker than your leg muscles for pushing - they&#

What I learnt from the emergence of chatGPT was that way more people were allergic to writing even a small note than I thought.

It sounds like it’s just a file system, backed by a local cache and then the network. They can probably monitor file access to figure out what they should cache locally without actually touching any game files.

Have you ever written about this enterprise? This sounds super unique and I would be very interested in hearing about how it was run and how it turned out.

VC Twitter's crazy right now. It's as if Amazon was everybody's best friend. User xattt says in a different thread on this story ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37667379 ) > I bet dollars-to-donuts t

The weather in Cairo for the next week looks like central Texas. Nobody tries to live in central Texas without Air Conditioning.

"Tarik Benmarhnia says [traditional ways of cooling] aren't good enough. He studies extreme heat at UC San Diego" I hope the irony of this man's job is not lost on anybody.

As a dumb American, can you help explain how energy costs, land costs, and water supply can be that significantly different across an open border?

It was San Francisco but California beer has come a long way since then (and is arguably the best beer in the world) and sadly they just didn’t keep up. Tradition only goes so far.

Are you kidding? They removed the Taiwan and Japan patches in the first trailer to try to see if China would bite. China was never going to allow a movie that made the American military look so damn cool. Then they put the patches back afte
