Do you read a lot? I mean, do you read the book quickly then rest, or do you use your extra time to read three books? There's the old story of how some taxi drivers will drive longer hours during busy rainfall periods to make extra mon

If you watch those "restored 1920s street scene" videos on YouTube then you'll quickly notice that every single pedestrian has outstanding posture.

If you don't know who Jesse Singal is then why are you commenting so freely on him? Your opinion of him has no value so why share it?

You think you can dismiss Terence Tao offhand because you read a pop psychology book?

I love the idea of the Nintendo Alarmo. However I've also found that I inevitably grow to hate my alarm song. I no longer choose songs I like, since I associate the alarm with cruel wake ups and don't want to associate my favorite

Another good example of the "pretending to be polite but secretly aggressive" behavior that's so prevalent in group therapy. Thank you for demonstrating it.

You're right, in a way. This kind of speaking style you use is very welcome in the "therapy" areas but would be considered passive aggressive or creepy in the "brotherhood" ones. Using "therapy speak" on p

But it's a transparently biased and divisive article. The issue is complex but the article is simplified to the point of "red meat for the masses".

I went to one of these male group therapy things before and it was icky and weird. The facilitator was a gay guy wearing earrings and lipstick. One of the other guys there was a plumber or something like that. He was trying to talk about hi

The AI space has such a high risk profile. Adobe's choice: bet on AI, and if AI takes off, Adobe is more profitable than ever. Or, bet on AI, and if AI doesn't take off, Adobe damages its own reputation (potentially permanently).

Why are the comments on this topic so consistently low quality? It's not even cynicism. It's just snark. It seems like most commenters aren't addressing the topic but rather are venting about their feelings.

What's the deal with cynical, low effort comments like this that add nothing to the discussion? There's obviously more to the story than what you're saying. HackerNews is supposed to be for discussion, not Reddit-tier snark.

Microsoft at least is heading towards a "Netflix for games" streaming model, which gives players very low switching costs between games in the Xbox GamePass market. I pay ~$20 per month and have rental access to a group of AAA gam

It's weird to see the feeding frenzy on these two guys. It's like watching piranas. It's brutal and savage in a primitive way, like watching chimpanzees engaging in cannibalism or something like that. It's basically the

The podcast presenters have the typical Google AI affliction of coming across as anxious. I added my sleep routine and the 8 minute podcast was roughly 3 minutes of "important note" type content, where the AI lectures you about ri

4chan is for the unwell and the unwilling. The unwell can be ignored. But the views of the unwilling are extremely valuable and can be found nowhere else but 4chan. 4chan is the primary voice for conscientious objectors.

You don't understand the situation. The schools are flouting the law. The Asian students are asking them to follow the law.

Athletes deal with it too. You go from being the best football player in your school, maybe even the best football player in your college. Then you go to the NFL and you're middle of the pack. Lots of guys get lost at the transition: a

One of my wife's superpowers is that she isn't afraid to look stupid. When we were about to have a kid, my wife plied my mom with a lot of stupid questions. "Do I have to play with the baby all the time? What happens if the b
