Weirdly I relate to some of your experiences in a lot of ways. - Middle school was really the only time in my life i had the free time to learn instruments. I played a lot of guitar and even played with friends. Never had the time after. -

I have a good boss. I know I do, not just think it. Did you phrase your question with the implication that many who think they have a good boss actually don't? or am I reading too much into your word choice

So I googled and saw that there's 4.8 Million apple employees in China? More than i expected when I started the Google search. With that said, is that enough for China to care at all? a little? a lot? Meaning, I wouldn't be surpri

How is self-made a myth? Not saying all billionaires should be envied, praised, etc. I'm sure many are huge manipulative asshole. But many also came from very modest to virtually no means, how is that a myth?

I'm amazed at how South Park after 23 seasons can make me laugh out loud repeatedly while combining classic south parkisms with hilarious satire of current events. I'm a big south park fan and these 2 episodes so far have been on

If you're earning 300k (estimated from the almost 150k you said you pay in taxes), are you really in the upper middle class? from this article [1], 300k salary puts you in the top 5% of income earners. i don't know how you figure

My issue with articles and stances like this is that I agree that rent seeking behavior is obviously an issue. Rent seeking is by definition unproductive economic behavior. But the existence of rent seeking does not serve as proper indictme

I have been drinking coffee everyday for practically 7 years. I've stopped it at times but most recently i stopped to deal with some stomach acid issues. Quitting definitely helped with that but an unintentional side effect was my libi

How much data/information that the UN used was able to be influenced by the Soviet Union and its records? genuinely curious, I have no idea where the UN estimates come from nor a particular thought/agenda on the matter

I lived there for 10 months. Walked along market street everyday and can confirm that it is pretty bad.

Space law is the same as that of international waters right? Will that hold up for long or does it need revision. interesting!

Those EU and Nordic countries are not democratic socialist though. The Prime Minister of Denmark repudiated Bernie's comments saying so. They even say they are capitalist with strong safety nets, which is not socialism.

Glad you've found what works for you! Just wanted to comment that I love that you abbreviated OMAD. I've done it too and after a week or so of feeling a little dizzy around 3pm, my body fully adapted to OMAD. I just find it funny

My favorite are the conspiracy theories as to why the outages are seemingly so close together in this Summer of 2019. All kinds of imaginative reasons abound. My best guess is summer vacation :) it's at least true for my company who wa

I believe that the data from developed nations has indicated that population growth follows a sigmoid and not an exponential. If that indication holds true for all nations as all nations become "developed", then population control

Paywalled articles are a frequent (and allowed) occurrence. Many times, a commenter will post a link to the full text via some means like outline.com The HN community has already answered this question.

It is very worrying. It is like regulatory capture, but not implemented at the request of the company. It was done purely by the EU. By requiring cutting edge and practically non existent technology, it somewhat requires a monopoly by the o

I think from the Twin Study they saw changes in the immune system, but not severely compromised. Additionally, NASA astronauts are a highly selective population in pretty strong physical conditions who are lightyears away from those you hea

I disagree. Degrees matter in terms of credential signalling. I wish the world were a different way, but degrees are a signal that employers do NOT ignore no matter what the HN crowd says about autodidactic CS learning (even though I agree

I disagree somewhat. US news might laugh about it on morning news coverage. But is it that trivial and a laughing matter? I get it, typos are funny and no one dies. But "nobody died" isn't a valid excuse for mistakes on filin

Isn't that an inevitable side effect of collaborative filtering? If companies could do content based-recommendation, wouldn't they? Until purely content based recommendations are possible, wisdom of the crowds via collaborative fi

You know that'd be really interesting as spectacle (in my opinion). You'd pick a game that neither company has worked on and pit them against one another. From a research standpoint though, it'd be a waste of time.

Great tips, people love talking about themselves. I also like to try to be empathetic and really understand their answers. If people give a vague answer to a question, you can continue the conversation by trying understand their answer more

Because NASA has had no funding to do so? Even still that's probably not true. I don't have the sources in front of me, but I know most of modern climate monitoring is done with recent NASA innovation.

Can we switch the link to MIT technology review? https://www.technologyreview.com/s/613277/chinese-scientists... I love futurism.com's enthusiasm but they are not often too substantive.

Amen, faster and more frequent news is certainly broken. However, I worry that we are fighting against human nature. The use of smartphones has demonstrated, I believe, that people will blindly chase their dopamine hits coming from a variet
