One's attitude towards Elm directly correlates with the degree to which one likes to dig into and tinker with the internals of their tools and frameworks and rearrange things. Unfortunately that means it's a hard sell around HN--

Wow! Apologies if this is answered in those notes but my quick question is: Did you make extensive use of Debug.todo to cordon off sections of the app that wouldn't compile in order to work on and "see" the other sections in

I agree. Why isn't #1 "Be Earth's Best Employer"? Amazon didn't get where they are by practicing the rule "Try to be obsessed with customers".

I have been getting up at 6 am this summer (compared to 8-9 before this summer). It's because I moved into a new house that the bedroom has this window high up with no blinds (and since it's high up it would be a pain to install b

>the cruelty is the point. I just don't get this part. On an intellectual level the point they just got done making is that cruelty is not the point. It's a byproduct of the system. The "point" of the whole thing is h

Wouldn't the person with the worse "best" pitcher be incentivized to check? It's a zero sum game. Plus they could always have their best pitcher not cheat, then call the other team on it, and now you get your best pitche

If I were a fanboy wouldn't I be in favor of a Tesla-brand restaurant existing near every super charger? I'm saying it wouldn't be so great.

It feels a bit like the lab-virus theory felt last year. If you entertain the notion of it you're supposed to be ridiculed and possibly kicked out of polite society, but does it really deserve to be set alongside flat earth theory and

One of the things my wife and I like about having a Tesla is that it often can settle the where-to-eat question, or at least narrow it down. If we're passing by a charger the answer is whatever is in walking distance of the charger (us

Yeah I'm not saying Netflix never has good stuff, just that it's few and far between in comparison to the others I mentioned.

Totally agree. I don't watch much streaming these days but from my limited experience Amazon and HBO are the only ones where i can tune in to a random new show and have a better than even chance it's not total pap.

It should be illegal on another basis as well. Paying it contributes to a norm that randoms will be paid that will encourage more randomware in the future against other companies. So you're harming other people when you pay it. That&#x

To each their own, but personally I much prefer to be driven somewhere in e.g. Lyft than to have to drive myself. I would bet that's worth at least a few dollars per hour to most people and thus would be relevant in the calculations I

The missing part, not that we have a way to estimate, is cost of labor to drive the car. People don't usually factor it in but self-driving offers the ability to sleep, listen to music, work, have conversation or whatever during the dr

You don't have to go full keto, and I don't. Just be cognizant as you eat that hamburger at lunch time that this is directly going to cause me to feel lethargic and bad for awhile this afternoon. If you still eat it, that's f

The keto diet is pretty forgiving. I did it for 2 weeks and aside from missing snacking and being annoyed that I had to check the carbs on everything (apples have a ton of carbs apparently-- who knew?) it was easy. All my normal meals are f

Did someone just have their moment of libertarian enlightenment?

by savanaly 5y ago
Do those times you just feel tired for no reason happen to correlate with being after the times you ate carbs? I'm not suggesting that's definitely the issue, but people underrate simple physical explanations for stuff like this.

Bravo. It's weird sort of moral pretzel to advertise your donations which simultaneously wins you some respect and a whole lot of antipathy for being self-righteous. Unfortunately there's no way I know of to self-advertise your

If you strongly believe there are some unexplored avenues for impactful donations to individuals you should make the case to Givewell. It's what they're all about, and that seems to be what Jeff is mainly giving to (all those Agai

Being a good person isn't about summing the good and bad parts of your life. Good deeds can't erase bad ones, but they also aren't invalidated by them. Be thankful for whatever good someone does and also demand apology, resti

No, they're really different. Just because the sunk cost fallacy has something to do with spending money doesn't mean it applies whenever money is spent in an unwise way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalli

What if there's multiple other malls just across the street? As is the case in online retail. Even easier than crossing the street, to be honest, just click that second result in Google instead of the first. Is it so hard to admit that

I agree. Love Cowen, thought this article was very meh. Seems like it's always his weakest stuff showing up on HN :/ A better critical take on the capital gains issue is Scott Sumner's short and succinct one: https:/&#x
