It is real. My partner has it. Interestingly, she is really good it visualizing 3D concepts in her mind, but not images. For example, when she walks through an apartment she can instantly draw a blueprint. Or when we move in multi-story bui

The market cap of a company is not real money. However, owning a significant share of the shares can help rich people get real money without any real downsides. For example, Musk (any most billionaires) use their stock as collateral and tak

The fact that top managers receive a ton of cash because they make "decisions" and "bear the responsible" is bullshit made up by billionaires to justify their ridiculousy high incomes and wealth. In fact, they don't

Let's please not start this nuclear discussion again. All arguments have been said and are clear on both sides and these discussions on HN don't lead anywhere.

The conspiracy theory is that Boeing hired somebody to kill the whistleblowers. But even if they committed suicide (which is more likely), it is because of the immense pressure but on them by Boeing. Which, in my book, is as bad as hiring a

I agree that the EU is not perfect. But it's not anti-democractic. The European Parliament is elected democratically. Sure, there are ways we need to improve the legislative processes, but this doesn't mean the best thing to do is

I like the general idea, but it feels a bit weird to describe what each specific person did and naming them. Only thinking about working on this team gives me anxiety. Also, the weekly cadence is a bit high?
