If you all would shut your hateful traps for a year or so, we might be able to have a productive discussion about what a horror show the Israeli government has become. But we can’t because you all have to pop up out of gopher holes thinking

It's load-bearing though.

I meant more in general. For food, what about fertilizer which has spiked?

That's assuming an awful lot, mainly about how we no longer need human connection or context with other people to be able to succeed as a team. When I took over as an engineering manager, it took a couple of 1:1s per person but actuall

How much of the food cost (and everything else) is tied to the increase in diesel prices? Do they adjust that out?

And yes I am oversimplifying: the current conditions are actually do to a number of stupid things the current administration did because they assumed everyone who came before them was stupid and woke, but this just strikes me wrong, as th

I am not sure what the perspective is: we aren't the same economy (there are true financial system differences between now and say, 1985) and, even if we were the same, the three other shocks that rise like this are two world wars and

Yeah, my comment was hand-waving away a bit of the reality of it, but swap the Fiero engine for a battery and some of these and it's got to be close to achieving full lift.

Every plausibly cool electric car innovation leads me to the same thought: “5-10 years from now, the restomod potential will be wild once these come down in cost.” For this, I am imagining retrofitting a Pontiac Fiero to reduce as much weig

My mom always said never to judge a person until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes. I could walk a whole marathon and still wouldn’t feel like I had perspective enough to judge people in this case. The story made me gasp at that point lik

Perhaps you should rephrase those nuts?

It wouldn’t be HackerNews without the top comment explaining how the real fault lies with labor and not the rent seekers who showed up afterwards and sucked up all the excess value from consumer and supplier.

And they will ban artists who avoid them, so that’s nice.

That was fantastic, thanks for posting. One thing I really loved about it was what was missing: there was no explicit attempt to make a point or to assert a universal truth; it was just the facts of what happened and take it as you will.

And then someone came along and downvoted you. Or maybe it’s just gamma rays. Apparently some people come here for serious discussion. It’s like an alternate universe.

I actually asked Claude about that this week and it was fairly interesting: the estimates are based on historical data, so I think that suggests in the current set up there will always be wild gaps. As best I could tell, the estimates you g

This time Malcolm X’s line about “Plymouth Rock landed on us” would apply to everyone. And Plymouth Rock is very much not cool. It’s the anticlimax of a million school field trips.

With your ear to the ground, I’m surprised you didn’t think it was a train. We didn’t notice it in Southern NH, but it seemed our thunderstorm phobic dog did feel the pressure change or hear it.

Now do TD (the original)! I remember thinking it was something from the future when it came out on C64. Similar feeling of seeing something from two years from now with Mach 3 in the arcade.

That's not how classical valuations worked though. I was taught the rough shorthand for valuing a company was profits / real_interest_rate, treating the company like a perpetuity. Revenue ain't in it. Now we have a bunch of

I bought a Radxa Cubie A7A over the weekend because my homelab machine of 5 months threw an SSD and I wanted something to limp along with while I wait for a replacement. I was a bit nervous about the special builds, driver issues, etc but d
