How much does someone need to live a decent middle/upper-class lifestyle in Europe? For example Ireland, UK, Spain or Portugal? I'm intrigued by this idea, but how much I'd enough, or at least enough that I could work lightly

Pretty sure you're still way more likely to die in a car accident and several other ways than on a Boeing flight. The fear around this is silly.

My understanding is it depends on Valhalla (value classes) and they basically keep updating it as that project changes.

I was sifting through old email recently and rediscovered my neopets account from early 2000s. I had to contact then to unlock it as it had been soft deactivated in the interim but they were friendly about it and I answered some questions

The problem is it's so hard to get on the HN Frontpage that stuff that does get there tends to be seen as having value but fools looking at at a foolish idea don't know any better. OPs post was constructive. It indicates there mig

This is shocking? You're kidding right?

Let me decode that for you: "Our lawyers and PR department advised us to reject the guy who created a superfund site because when he does it again it will be prefixed by 'MIT Educated...'"

I think it works because there's a lot of games out there that just miss the perfect mark slightly and so if someone picks up on that and smashes them all together it works out great. Game companies seem to suck at reading feedback abo

Hmm okay, I guess I can sort of see how you might construct an argument here. I guess Amazon is hoping a conservative judiciary agrees.

I don't quite understand Amazon's argument, isn't the NLRB operating on the delegated authority of Congress? Congress has the ability to create bodies to regulate things and basically delegate its lawmaking power to them. It

The decline of "The West" (really The US and client states err Europe) is inevitable now that Russia and China have dismantled any social unity we had. Americans all hate each other and that division is not getting reconciled. The

It's an equally ridiculous proposal to someone's fascist take that I shouldn't be allowed to have political rights because I don't want children.

by voidfunc 3y ago
If we really want to go down this route we should do away with parenting. Children our are future therefore the government will be responsible for producing and raising children to meet our necessary societal workforce quotas. Parenting is

I just don't have any interest in kids. They're expensive and they require a ton of sacrifice. I'd rather travel, golf, do hobbies and generally enjoy my life. The only people that seem to want me to have babies are my parent

HN has a blindness for the vast land area of America that isn't The Bay Area, NYC, Seattle, Boston, and a handful of other insanely expensive locations. Home ownership has probably plummeted in those markets (I don't have the data

The history of Seattle is fairly interesting for those who are not aware of it. A lot of cities have rebuilt from fires, done terraforming etc, Seattle kind of took it to a whole new level.

Still a used engine, Minetest maintains a fork called IrrlichtMt which is more actively developed. I'm not sure the OG Irrlicht gets a ton of love anymore.

So basically use MFC if you care about longevity otherwise good luck.

I dont think so. For "great works" all that stuff has been covered somewhere if you really care. You're putting way too much faith into people's intelligence (or projecting your own onto them) if you think people are pic

I can read a quick Wikipedia article and get the gist of them pretty quickly then what's the point? If you enjoy reading that's one thing but there's not much point otherwise.

The only expectation of this is in your head. It is a fantasy that doesn't exist.

Meh, if you're not building your b2b SaaS company on one of the big names (python, Java, ruby, go, javascript) in 2024 you're just deeply unserious about running a company. The language is the last of your problems.

In his defense, SF politicians are morons so I'm not sure I disagree with the general sentiment. Not sure I wish death on them tho.
