You should try out FlipFlop solitaire by Zach Gage if you haven't already, definitely a fun spin on the solitaire concept and the game plays very smoothly.

The line you quoted caught my eye too and confused why it was in there without an explicit or implicit mention of "in ten years we'll be so productive we'll have 3-day work weeks". I think you make a great point about LL

Since losing in 2020 the various think tanks and groups that make up the right-wing have settled on a unified, frightening, vision of what the US government should look like equipped with (extremely dubious) legal rhetoric and reason to bac

I visited Iceland in 2013 and between Keflavik and Reykjavik there was a single billboard with the EU emblem and the words “Nei Takk” (no thanks). This article puts a lot of that sentiment in perspective. Our takeaway at the time was that t

This is an article from May 2024 about a CDC report published in March. The report itself is more insightful: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/73/wr/mm7312a4.htm

This seems like a plug for a book than anything with a definitive answer. The pull quote near the end of the article implies that the rest of the world has simply caught up and is pressing forward while the US has simply stopped. I was in F

I think you would get an answer that implies not caring. Pichai is a former Wharton and McKinsey guy, his job description is "provide value to shareholders" and cutting products and headcount does just that. I share your frustrati

The first link is 2023’s race. The second link is 2014 and is probably how most people learned about the race since it was on Netflix. It’s amazing to compare the two race years to see how much it has changed in terms of competition and pop

As the article notes, what is remarkable about the Gardner Museum thefts is the quantity of items stolen _and_ that none of them have turned up. A similar crime is de Kooning's Woman-Ochre in 1985. Its theft and recovery in 2017 is an

There is a contrarianism that runs on HN and adjacent communities that also comes with a myopia of empathy. I observe about one article per month where there's a comments section like this expressing opinions that if you ever were to s

You need to go back and read the second part of that quoted paragraph to find out why it’s a problem.

A professor liked to point out that if you do prove P=NP you could exploit it to solve the remaining open Millennium Problems netting you a few more million dollars and historic fame. Knuth's opinion on it is that you couldn't do

A fun search I do is “McKinsey estimates” and see some bonkers numbers about hyped things that never really took off, at least nowhere to the degree they estimate.

I think your comment is the only one here mentioning qualified immunity. This is definitely another qualified immunity case disguised as a free speech case, I'd expect the outcome to be similar on that alone. Until qualified immunity f

What separates the two cases for you? Does it come down to there being more gaming companies compared to Microsoft than there are application-design companies compared to Adobe?

In a book today I stumbled on a similar accident almost ten years ago in New Jersey[1]. This one seems much more hazardous due to the combustion as well as scale of the accident. https://response.restoration.noaa.gov/about&#

I think crypto aligned itself more with finance in the last year or two. E.g. Super Bowl ads, big bank partnerships and that may influence how a company is covered. The culmination of this was Roose’s “Latecomer’s Guide to Crypto” which was
