Besides the telltale "it's not x, it's y" used repeatedly in their comment history, I also struggle to imagine what would motivate a human to type such blandly agreeable jargon-filled pablum. I'd certainly prefer no

After Renee Good was killed, I re-evaluated my opinion on Ashli Babbitt's killing and I have more sympathy for her now.

If this is actually true, I think you can find a more reliable source than Elon Musk. I'm not saying you should never listen to a word he says. His actions shape the world after all, so it's important to understand how his words p

Tim Walz and Jacob Frey are both on record saying they'd love to have federal help with reducing violent crime. That is not Donald Trump's / Stephen Miller's objective in Minnesota, nor is it the outcome.

Your hot takes are all wrong. Especially your last parenthetical. I mean, I'm not doubting that you may have forgotten to turn on lossless audio! But what I think you're implying, that lossless audio is clearly distinguishable fro

Trump denigrates immigrants daily and stuffs them in squalid camps or prisons. Wouldn't you say that undermines the idea that he's actually acting on a moral obligation to protect immigrants from exploitative labor? See also his b

A damningly weak statement by Altman. I wonder if the reason he's even opening his mouth at all is because he was left out of the MELANIA screening for all the other tech CEO's at the White House last weekend. I do appreciate Vi

It's not credible to claim that Good got in her car that day with the intent to run over ICE and cause a mass casualty event. Her actions immediately preceding her death were 1) parking her car perpendicular to the road, rather than li

The mods (dang and tomhow) have written probably 50,000 words on the subject. I've also emailed the mods and promptly received personal replies. Transparent as you could ever hope for: https://news.ycombinator.com/threa

It's not just Trump. Look at how even the weak Republican pushback is framed. They have no moral objection to his actions, only for the risk of blowback. See Ted Cruz's remarks on Jimmy Kimmel: "[W]hen it is used to silence e

I don't read the plugin's source for every release, but I do check its domain allowlist. Because I can see it is forbidden from running on any domain I'm concerned about, I consider BPC safer to run than any plugin that works

Can you talk a bit more about situations where WHO or UNESCO have overridden a country's health system? As a US citizen I see WHO as 1) offering guidance and 2) funding programs in poorer countries' health systems. UNESCO, well, I

I agree, and maybe my "ladder pull" comment comes off as too negative. Most early solar buyers were either in it for environmental reasons or for a modest return on investment. I don't think many were expecting a windfall.

Yes, existing installations get 20 years of grandfathered rates [1]. Which makes it more of a ladder pull than a rug pull... [1] https://www.sce.com/clean-energy-efficiency/solar-generating...

There are many topics discussed on HN that I find tiresome to read about. For example, diet and fitness topics. You could swap the comments from one article to another and not even notice. That's why I stopped reading them. It's n

The source for this [1] is more nuanced (someone can be both "not okay" with it while also blaming the victims), but it's true that survey respondents were five times more likely to blame the students than the National Guard.

Standards for "functioning democracy" were much lower then. Most people were ineligible to vote in the 18th and 19th centuries. [1] Not even 20% of the US population voted in presidential elections until the 20th century. [2] [1]

Presidential ads run in swing states. Not in California, whose delegates are a foregone conclusion. Californians are hassled for political donations, not votes.

"Snark is often conflated with cynicism, which is a troublesome misreading. Snark may speak in cynical terms about a cynical world, but it is not cynicism itself. It is a theory of cynicism. The practice of cynicism is smarm." Fro

Thank you for this. Count me as one more person who's been influenced by your exchange with Eisinger. Edit: My layperson reading of the source makes me think the ProPublica article would be accurate if its link to the source had the te

It would be extremely counterproductive for a ProPublica writer to maliciously dox someone who pointed out a logical inconsistency in their writing, if the writer's intent is to bolster their own trustworthiness. Any journalist crazy e
