I see where you're coming from, and I'm not offended by being compared to cows... that being said, this connection seems very tenuous. This is really comparing apples to oranges here

I've been seriously considering Taiwan! Sadly the current instability in its relationship with PRC makes me fear going there if war breaks out.

Is there a way to read the full article? It's particularly interesting because Ive been considering moving from LA to somewhere else, perhaps Flordia. Slightly off topic but while you're at it I'm curious if you have some adv

Sure, I would happily edit my post with the added context if HN would let me (the post is too old to edit now), and yet I would leave the rest of my post unedited because I don't feel it changes anything. You're obviously frustrat

I don't know the answers to all of your questions, but I can say with confidence that the "flow of time" is not an invention of the brain. We can (and frequently do) make measurements that demonstrate time is an objective dim

I empathize with your frustration and how it looks from the side of a candidate/developer, and frankly you and I share many of the exact same views. It wasn't long ago that I was in the same position. That being said, I've be

Probably because it's just not their business. They don't need to confuse their objectives with bitcoin to get rich, they're doing exceptionally well without it

Somehow neutral directness of truth always gets mixed up as being equal to name-calling (e.g. "snowflakes"), but that isn't about bringing clarity at all; it's just attempting to lower another person or group in order to

HN is about as different as you can get from Reddit. For example, Reddit encourages herd behavior, minimal-effort glib interactions, and addictive content. HN discourages herd behavior, is quite difficult for most newcomers because the high

I think it's less to do with hipness and more to do with business realities. For example, perhaps "Monday" is an unenforceable trademark, and/or "Monday" is already a registered business entity.

I think this depends on the website implementation / headers. For example, for any SPA, you hit the back button and get what you had before, often times no network requests made at all because local data caching. As a web developer I s

This is amazing! I'm assuming when they say "imagining" they mean visualizing it as a mind picture? I wonder how this works for folks with aphantasia. Do you imagine the motor action of writing? Can a paralyzed person still d

I'm not sure I understand this fully. Are you saying that if you have an account with 1 million dollars in it, you could actually have 6 million invested with 5% returns, making something like 300k annually minus some margin fees?

Elon's performance on SNL went way above my expectations. So authentic. He really killed it, and I found him more human and more relatable than ever.

I have a NAS which I could probably open up and seed a lot of Scihub content from. But what are the odds that something bad would happen to me, and how bad? Like, a fine? or a raid and jail time?

Formal math & probability is something I'm trained in. that being said, intuitively this sounds off to me... The youtube ID pool is closer to 7.4e19, not 1.8e19. I'm not a math expert and my probability is quite weak. If you a

It doesn't seem like this would work. I think you could sample trillions of YouTube IDs with a high likelihood of all of them being unused. They're supposed to be unique after all

well you could say this about any behavior. Why teach children to stop peeing their pants, isn't that just trying to force them out of their nature? There's nothing abusive about training a dog about proper behavior. Anyway, I thi
