Hong Kong is an extremely international and technically advanced city that freely accepts American passports for visits. Many on HN bring up the HK crackdowns because they have personal experiences with the city. Its unlikely that on a majo

I dunno what you're on about, dogs do not realistically transmit covid. Their respiratory system is more different to humans than a cat's. Ferrets and other animals with extremely similar respiratory systems are known reservoirs a

In some industries, people crunch, and everyone knows. It is very much considered to be a part of the job, and people that don't have their heads in sand are aware during hiring. Apple compensates very well but certainly knows how to p

The significance of the first quote, is that in 1943, "computers" were people who did math by hand. His point was that 5 or 6 electronic computers could replace the whole world's market for "computers".

Yes! The group I'm in is hiring for C/C++ systems. Experience with safety is a huge plus. If you give an email address I can send you some job listings. If you're interested we can go from there. I'm just an engineer so

Cities have always collected people from further outside the local area than suburban or rural areas. If you have lived in cities with a monoculture and cities with significant minorities, the multicultural city has more dynamic options for

In most American cities the bus schedules are like every 15-20 minutes and buses arrive at a near random distribution over that time. So even if traffic is so bad that driving is consistently 40 minutes, the bus-to-stop-to-bus trip is reall

This might not be news for you, but you're in a really desireable location. The land you're on is probably really expensive right now.

The upper class doesn't need to work for their money. Of course the line draws different in every location, but the difference between the upper-middle class lawyer and the upper-class lawyer is that the upper-class lawyer could quit a

If you got imported Asahi, it likely is 330ml instead of 12oz. This is standard throughout Europe and Asia. They lose on their little cans (330ml vs 354ml/12oz) but win on their big cans (500ml vs 473ml/16oz). Blame customary meas

There is certainly a perceived difference between tech workers at, what I would categorize into T1/T2/T3 companies. T1 companies invest in their reputation, tend to have long and capricious interviews, and pay obscenely. T2 compan

This is an interesting take, but most of my favorite artists grew up comfortably middle class, because it gave them the time and space to develop their art, compared to people who had to get jobs as teens or watch their little siblings.

Maybe we could keep the protections for labor and drop the many additional protections for landowners.

It could be argued, but I think its a pretty weak argument. HN, Reddit, news, comics, manga, TV: its all a dopamine drip. The specifics can be impactful: a movie that changes your perspective, a great article on HN that helps you accomplish

There is no dissonance, the reasoning you gave was that you (or the reader) would certainly not prefer to live with benevolent captors as an emotional support object, so a dog likely would not either. This is not invalid reasoning, but Man&

It's fine to feel that animal husbandry is unethical, but considering that domestication occurred already, how do you propose the management of domesticated species? Just letting them free would be cruel, because the domesticated anima

It's not, my points are clear and well argued ;) You aren't a dog, so your preference for not living under the care of a human owner is not relevant. Dogs do not outlast us in the wild, because "the wild" is the real wo

If people stop eating meat, who is paying for the well being of those billions of animals? I'm not trying to be glib. If humans did not ever eat meat, we would not have ever domesticated cattle, but we did. So if everyone stops eating

Are you a dog? This kind of personifying glib is what gives vegan/vegetarian ethics a bad name. It completely ignores domestication and how dogs evolved as human-following scavenger animals. Most dog breeds are not adapted to living wi
