Well one bit of good news is that one of the two screeners at LGA who argued over which of them was getting the shampoo they confiscated from my wife's carryon luggage will have clean, full hair in their poverty.

It simply isn’t true. That would have catastrophic effects on food supply and observed wildlife, and that hasn’t been the case at all. You’d see a drastic reduction in the population of game such as deer and bear and sport fish, but those p

Centuries of fear-mongering by those warning of ecological disaster and yet we've experienced no global ecological disasters. But you want government forcing change despite many, many examples (within a century!) of that resulting in

It's a shame you've been downvoted on this point, and it's more evidence Hacker News is becoming more like Ars: upvotes are votes of agreement as opposed to votes that you providing insight. And your comment is not only extre

Actually, I'm wrong about one thing: Ehrlich didn't warn us that catastrophe was inevitable if we didn't do something. He said catastrophe was inevitable period : The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s

Proven wrong? Yes! ehrlich said the human lifespan in 1981 would be 42. He assured us that, if we didn’t do something , there would be mass famine and billions dead and all manner of horror that never came to pass. It is not all that impre

And by what conditions would the problem be judged as fixed? I’ll believe it’s a real crisis when the people insisting it is actually live like it is. But while they get their Starbucks and fly on their planes and watch their Netflix and sh

These guys may be able to provide a plan to get you more clicks and purchases, but they definitely aren’t the ones to tell you how the business of selling stuff works. For example (from the article): We have that there to remind ourselves

Gloss over? The parent poster buried it in concrete! The Soviets and Chinese killed more than everyone before them, combined. And you are 100% spot on - evil will use and abuse anything in pursuit of its goals. But those people that we clea

All the money and fame in the world doesn't do much protecting at all: it can lock you in the depths of your mind. Imagine a situation where every interaction you have with other people is fawning or fraudulent. Where all day, every da

It’s also an inevitable consequence. Truth be told, I distrust the part of government that supports “net neutrality” and I distrust the part of government that is against it. Make no mistake, the government is itching to dictate content and

I own my own business, which is kinda the same thing as working for yourself. Two bits of advice: 1. The first check you don't write is usually the one to yourself. You're the only worker that will show up for free. 2. The problem

Nostalgia doesn't have to be purely about one's childhood interests, although it frequently is. In your case, your interest still seems a product of nostalgia. I don't really understand why people view interests based on nost

Love the NES and love retro gaming, but the article completely contradicts itself. It's not just driven by nostalgia, but... It says something about the legacy of the NES that most homebrewers continue to make games for the system for

And that constant bombardment has reduced the effectiveness of advertising as well. So it makes sense that advertising dollars would be distributed differently than they once were.

Proposed by who? The Sierra Club? It's still far less efficient that fossil fuels, harder to store, and more expensive to collect. This has "rolling blackouts" written all over it.

I'm just pointing at that the proposed solution won't have the desired effects. If you want to get people in better housing, the real solutions require changing and influencing the people, not the housing.

Well it's what's happened here in Dallas. Housing is cheap in areas nowhere wants to live whether that be because of location or blight or demographics. It doesn't matter. It's more expensive in places where everyone wan
