It too hard! Give uppppppp The siren call of hackernews. Who the hell is even here anymore?

I find hackernews oddly unsatisfying recently because of comment threads like this. Someone pops in and offers a knee jerk “no regulation” suggestion. Then either people agree with them (yikes!) or there is this type of exchange. Where an e

A cdl allows one to drive either 50 tons of truck or a bus full of people. Do tell me, the current negatives of the regulation regime, and the benefits of the new one? Also don’t forget to provide a realistic analysis of future safety failu

Quick question, and this is really for everyone else out there and although directed at you, it isn’t really about you. How do you KNOW that adhd is “overdiagnosed?” Are you a clinical psychiatrist? Or a clinical researcher? Probably not. Y

Generally true, but the upside of a bigcorp is higher than indicated, which significantly dilutes the financial upside of startupland. The quote: "after accounting for dilution you will get around $600K, which is more than what Google

The primary difference between vintage, “artisanal” and modern cast iron (eg: lodge) is the former is machined and the latter isn’t. Cast iron, seasoned, is supposed to be slicker than non stick. You should be able to fry an egg in it. With

Why do you expect it to be rolled back? What evidence leads you to believe that? Also, with this email it seems it is you who is turning a routine technical decision into a hostile relationship. As they say, them fighting words.

Given Steve jobs prematurely died due to his diet, I feel like that wasn't a wise choice in anecdotes. Funny thing is how much more energy and lighter I became when I only ate meat. So much for dropping meat.

The presumption that competition between doctors and hospitals will create lower prices has not come to fruition. Individuals have no leverage or ability to make meaningful choices. There is no real healthcare market as a result. In a larg

The last time his blog post came up I noted his claim that single consensus quorums were, in theory, as fast as multiple. I get why he has to make that claim, the soundness of Calvin as a practical system rests on that. But as a matter of p

The economist is opinion, filled with motivated reasoning, that pretends to be news. It also confuses breadth for depth and proudly touts it’s meh international coverage. When I want to cancel, I did it via my credit card company. They’re s

In fact in the good big companies, they crave for employee growth. Time and money for training, meaningful career growth, and pay growth, major tech switches without changing jobs. I find that small companies are often much worse in all the

Reading this, one could be confused into thinking that you’re arguing that a developer shouldn’t have to prove they can write find max of a list. Is this task too below them? Does it not adequately demonstrate knowledge? What else? I think

Thanks for this one. The history of black people being excluded from pools has an UGLY history. The grandparents positioning this as some innocent thing is... well.... Check this out: https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/motel

This is a good example of bad faith arguing. The original poster never mentioned "quotas" but this comment presumes and assumes that is what is happening. The use of words like 'please' doesn't make things better.

going after google but not apple sets a weird lesson. That lesson is: don't be in the "licensable smart mobile operating system" market. I'm not sure if this is an outcome I want.

The only problem with allowing competitors to constrain their business rivals is, well, exactly that. They are unable to compete in the marketplace, thus they rely on regulation. I always had a hard time with that notion. It feels too ripe

A meta comment, this kind of thread is why I don't respect hackernews commenters anymore. It frequently goes like so: - Comment: Something - Reply: But my experience says otherwise, why are you so wrong? There is a persistent lack of

Why should search be regulated? And I assume ALL search engines should be equally regulated. Also, you better be pretty specific about what politically neutral really means. For example, I just started a political party devoted to spreading
