In this case wouldn't it be like the stimulus went to Chinese mining farms (if that was the case)?

>Nearly every MML post on HN is filled with comments deriding the usefulness of ponzi schemes, and yet we still pretty frequently see governments attempt to ban and outlaw them. Interesting. Not saying BTC is that, but just because the g

In the Simpson's commentary for the early seasons they said they did 30 read throughs of jokes, and if it was funny for 29 times but not on the 30th, they axe it.

I've been hearing about ECS for a decade so it's definitely more then flavor of the month. However the issue is that unfortunately Unreal/Unity are both OO first.

I keep seeing this sentiment, but the fact is his other documentary Icarus was HUGE on Netflix, and if The Dissident pops up on millions of people's feed saying "From the creator of Icarus!!", millions of people would watch i

"evergreen" but context matters. If these were issues that were raised during the decline of civilizations then it's still valid. I mean, look at Greece now.

I think the argument is that you can put exactly as much dark matter anywhere you want to explain whatever you want. Sure it has to be "a particle that feels gravity but not electromagnetism", but that just means it's invisib

I think it's funny that since I had js disabled all I saw was "Error - blah blah blah" and I thought this was arguing AGAINST using a notebook as a readme. Looking at umatrix all the js is coming from a CDN too. I think it sh

More technically, that's euthanasia and it's optional, not government mandated, and no one is sterilized after. Eugenics would be sterilizing any parents that have any possibility of producing unhealthy babies.

Honestly thank you for saying that. I felt like I'm going crazy, I can't figure out how people are enjoying this game, I tried to find a redeeming quality and "pretty lights" is all I can think of. Edit: Scrolled down an

Just to add to my own comment. Why does HN like being so pedantic about the definitions of words? This is an interesting post regarding AI and cellular biochemistry. Do we really need to add a philosophical debate about the meaning of &quo

Yes, I tried it and it's not great. So I basically have Spotify and Plex now and have to switch between the two. Spotify is still great for discovery and radio.

One thing that bothers me, is that research (as skeptical as I am of social sciences right now) seems to suggest that "ego resources" don't exist. However burn out does exist. Therefore it's hard to reconcile and find a

If anything, I would say the Espresso/Motorcycle cafe is the actual gentrification here, which is being stopped by zoning laws. Not that I'm against it, I love the idea, but that is the kind of hipster nonsense (that I love) that

How much of GPT-3 impressiveness is our ability to read meaning and create patterns where there is none? Similar to our ability to anthropomorphize?

Parent's argument can still be correct even though the CRA did not cause the housing crisis. Those are unrelated. The first argument might be correct and the CRA increases defaults by giving loans to people who can't afford them,

by vadansky 6y ago
Nah, you switched arguments mid stream without any reason or warning, besides that the crisis argument was easier to prove wrong than the parent's. CRA was introduced 43 years ago, the 2008 crisis was 12 years ago, there is no reason t

Damn, guess I was wrong. Still nothing to do with the parents argument though, you should at edit your comment to include that link so people understand what you're taking about.

Can you post a link? I'm honestly under the suspicious you just posted a PDF you did not read, or knowingly knew did not back up your arguments but hoped no one would read the 25 pages to find out.

So even though you quoted one argument, you posted a document to prove a whole other argument wrong, never bothering to bring up that the other argument you just proved wrong. I still don't know what other argument you proved wrong, di
