The weirdest thing about this to me is I was just thinking about the arbitrariness of current North being up the other day and then this article pops up here. They're reading our freaking brains!

It's not literal. It says directly in the article: "...defined the practice of politics as a struggle against an existential enemy, arguing that politics is just religion in disguise." and "human societies tend to spiral

I know you're just willfully dumb, but other people reading might think you actually have a point. No army in the world including the US could stop a civilian uprising of even a million people who have just rifles and the will to fight

Yeah but at least they're also destroying the soil to grow all that shit Monsanto roundup-ready corn/soy/alfalfa/etc. for no profit and as an added bonus they get to kill all those pesky insects and bees!

You're right. It's the only human trait that has no genetic link. Convenient. That's why dogs and humans also have equal IQs.

You are hilarious. Schools are dominated by leftwing CRT ideology. It's the rare exception when there is real pushback against dinosaurs or evolution. I very much doubt that you are as angry about Islamic pushback against sex topics in

Sort of like believing that we have free will.

"Your goals"...hilarious. I guess it's your world and we're all just living in it. But seriously, inequality is a complex issue, just 'let's soak the rich' is a dumb take and won't solve anything. But

HN has a very specific viewpoint on the average. Which is deeply ironic given its association with the most hardcore of venture capitalists.

Thanks for the rational reply. Totally agree, Congress must reduce spending. They had to increase the spending cap because we will be bouncing off it soon. The history of Republicans is not good when it comes to reigning in spending. Neo-co

This is incredibly dumb. What happens when the stock market is up one year and down the next? What happens when you force them all to sell and there is not enough liquidity to support current prices so the act of selling hammers the value?

You would have to double current income taxes to cover the deficit. I already pay 50%, how much do you want?

You guys just prove over and over again you don't know how anything works.

It always amazes me that we are on this super hardcore capitalist site 'hacker news' and yet so few people here know how income works at the highest levels. Super high earners don't earn W2 income. It's mostly long term

It's been proven in the past that this does not increase revenue in the long run. If you want to significantly increase revenue, you'd have to tax the middle class harder. I'm not automatically against taxing high income peop

Hard disagree (as a person that owns EV). While it's true that most people don't drive that far daily, it's also true that most people want their cars to be multipurpose. Most EVs can only be time-efficiently charged to 80% w

If you are trying to reach race/gender based quotas, you simply cannot hire white men anymore when they are 90% of the applicants. Or at least, you must attempt to minimize it as much as possible. Math.

Why can't I just buy it off AliExpress for $6000 + $50 shipping?

How do you know? Do you work for FAA? We wouldn't have to guess and allow for right-wing conjectures if FAA were just transparent on the process and if any changes have been made.

I didn't realize I was talking to George Bush. I guess the US gets to unilaterally decide what's right and wrong for the world, and kill however many people it takes to demonstrate the shining hope that is Western democracy!

I saw that. But it's laced with political overtones. The question is not just # of controllers, it's the quality of controllers. Have they lowered the standards to get through ATC school? What is the truth? Just asking so I have a

WWII was an invasion into Europe, not a civil war. Every time we've intervened in civil wars, the outcome has been bad, with one exception -- Korea. The problems with your thinking are: #1 It's how the neo-cons think and is the ju

So the US has the moral right to install a western style gov into other countries? How many times do we have to go down this road, tear apart countries, fuck them up more, and leave with everything in worse shape than before? The US does no

I'm not saying it's right. I'm saying people will ask. It's unfortunate.

He didn't "let it devolve into a civil war." He authorized the CIA to fund rebel groups which maintained and expanded the civil war. What exactly do you suggest Obama should have done with "the power of the USA to stabil

There is no conventional war with China the US can win. Therefore, it's a big fucking waste of money to pretend we can with aircraft carriers and tanks. Nuclear weapons are relatively cheap. What the US military is good at is dropping

True, but current price isn't based on fundamentals, it's based on hype-value. nVidia is going to be a very volatile stock for years to come. I don't see deepseek changing nvidia's short term growth potential though. Eff

by skellington 2y ago
Markets aren't rational. NVidia is currently a hype stock which means LOTS of speculation, probably with lots of leverage. So, the people who have made large gains and/or are leveraged are highly incentivized to panic sell on any

What other speech? There is literally no limit to what you can say if it's negative towards white men, the church, Trump, etc. Not that I'm defending those specific things. I just notice the hypocrisy.
