> “so desperate to contend” The only thing desperate is people plugging their ears and lalala-ing “HN is not for politics.” The tech talk here is embarrassingly shallow. Depth is now the rare exception. If I want deep dives, I’ll

Major problems with Firefox include: - full uBlock support - the ability to still be themed - first-party isolation ...Okay, okay, I’m being too cheeky. The common wisdom is that overall Firefox can feel bottlenecked at render

Agreed! It's funny because the person who wrote that article clearly loves computers (and has loved them for a long time)! I guess we are all a bunch of contradictions zipped up in a meat sack.

"I usually don't comment on stories like this..." I humbly suggest you revert the commit that changed your policy. "women needs to get a grip... men who are 40 or 50 years older" Because all men 40 or

But they aren’t the same. Bush Sr. and Clinton were the same: centrist neoliberals. Do you really think there is only the same sliver of daylight between KH and DT as there was between Bush and Clinton? Look around and answer this for yours

I would never own an ARM Mac as my main (or even lead secondary) machine, but the whole higher-cost thing is such a joke at this point. At the same performance/quality tier, Macs can at times/trims be cheaper. Plus, buying an ol

lol, my wording on the internet makes me sound harsher than I am in person. I do think that's a good question to ponder and one I hope I'm thoughtful enough to consider in my future relationships. If it were my idea I would keep g

Yup. And the writing style gives big divorced dad (but with a phil degree) energy... but I think there's something interesting in the rough to poke at. It's a velocity + availability "no Tom Brokaw" argument as applied t

Yes, good of you to ask. But don’t you worry your little head, now! You aren’t the first patient that developed a thin skin from their own medicine, and you won’t be the last.

Engineers are not exactly famous for people-pleasing. Maybe management, but engineering? Maybe some fresh junior? I'm not convinced that the existence of a low-probability event justifies normalizing the regular occurrence of a much mo

As a question??? Do the physical quanta we call electrons experience the phenomenon we poorly define but generally call consciousness? If you believe consciousness is a result of material processes: Is the thermodynamic behavior of an elect

Wait, what? Of course you were! Heck, you still are; "Read other people's experiences and feel your own body." That is a mode of interacting with the external world and processing knowledge. You didn't even suggest I do

I'm sorry, but this just sounds like the "Forbidden Knowledge" Trick (think of it as a cousin to Galileo's Gambit) (1) In your most authoritative tone, state something as fact without citation. (2) Say major testing-base

Then demonstrate? In 2015, the U.S. Dietary Guidelines shifted from implying that one egg a day is “probably a bit much” to saying “one egg a day is fine if you don’t fry it.” This coincided with the removal of the quantitative cap of 300 m

3 or 4 eggs a day ? 90g beef liver ? Sign me up for those pills, Bill. Like 120 eggs a month, 1400 eggs a years. That is what you envision as the healthier alternative?

Says who? Your tone vs. your actual authority on the subject are wildly incongruous. There are many modes and methods for interacting. I, personally, am not fond of the dragonwriter method. I'm sure it has its place, but it's just

The guy who runs scirate is a fellow quantum computing researcher (and all around friendly... fellow, lol). I can't speak for them, but I'm pretty sure they'd, at least, hear you out. The problem is more getting through the s

Integrate with scirate for that good good: https://scirate.com/ But seriously, I don't of another place that centers academics up-voting papers without... well... actually citing them.

Honestly, from what I understand, most men’s relationship to “lovemaking” isn’t exactly winning awards. Plus, if the tables were turned, I’m sure some SV types would just call it “rational” or “logical” and magically develop nuanced yet exp

It’s not just whataboutism when the comparison points to a broader systemic process of eroding rights and worsening conditions. It is also an observation of this next stage in that process and how it departs from the last. Ultimately, I t

Sorry, no. To make clear your subtext: Morgan Freeman being Black does not somehow immunize him from having a really bad take. Racism is also facilitated by people pointing to the crack pots and saying, we swear we're not like them...
