You're using feelings rather than reason to argue, which generally doesn't find much traction on Hacker News. The increasing politicisation of the flag button, and its pernicious use as a surrogate for strong disagreement is a dis

I think part of the issue is that through our success we erased a lot of the need for the most fundamental male roles. When it came to handling the things that go bump in the night, a social species with thumbs, a bit of fire and a few shar

They're not complete men. They're the whimper at the end of a 4,000,000,000 year long bloodline (I say blood). Our ability to replicate is and ever has been and will remain the primary guiding factor of our evolution. The meek be

We've been (I say we) sexually reproducing for over 1,000,000,000 years. And yet somehow we've reached the point where if you acknowledge human sexual dimorphism, you're a fascist. It's a damned weird ideology, and if it

I was replying to a subject forked sub-thread, so what I said isn't directly applicable to the article.

Then we both get to be confused by each other's comments.

Sure, but their gonads don't produce eggs. They're socially female and in many ways physically female, but from a reproductive perspective (the reason for sexual dimorphism in the first place) they're not female. They're

The world crushed my spirit, and erased the remnants with SSRIs. I'm frequently told that I have no right to treat my own depression with mushrooms, with my depression and its consequences held as proof that I don't know what I&#x

It's turtles all the way down. > do not humans interact with them directly but compilers... So compiler programmers deal with them and humans designed them to be dealt with by the people that write compilers. There's a major se

I had no idea what an e-graph was until 5 minutes ago, but this has the feeling to me of something that is nominally NP complete. Languages tend to be designed with comprehensibility in mind - so the thoroughly unjustifiable hunch that I&#x

Only if we allow them to be. If liberal western (and I mean liberal not "liberal") democracies stop our appeasement policies things will improve.

Outside of court, the preponderance of evidence changes with a history of operating in bad faith.

A media control knob would be useful - push up and turn to fast-forward/rewind, down and turn for volume. Push left/right for previous/next. Also, what's with the f/j keyboard bumps - just put braille on every key.

The Chinese government responded to Covid the same damned way they responded to SARS; with a cover up - no joke, they were arresting doctors. The biggest difference was that we didn't have someone like Gro Harlem Bruntlant [1] to compe

I never believed it was a bioweapon. Why? Because China was behind on vaccine development, and when they finally produced on it was not only late, but barely functional. Late is one thing - if you release a bioweapon, it's far too susp

So all that's happening is people are getting increasingly good at hiding violations of spatiotemporal invariants? This is treating the symptom and ignoring the disease.

They need to do a far better job of server discoverability as well as account transfer. Needing to click through server after server with none of them accepting new users is a discouraging experience.

I can't help but feel that the only answer to this is peer to peer distributed social networking. But who has the impetus to make such a thing?

They've been trying to monetise it for years. They'll monetise it into the ground.

The down-voters are the good faith players - people are getting permabanned for political disagreements.

There's no doubt that's part of it, but it's not all - I think it's the stillness.

This is amazing, but... It feels too damned clean, and I'm not sure its just the weirdly alien camera stability.

Shit man, I can't even hate you for that. It wasn't that I didn't chew, it just didn't make a difference. Honestly, it was fucking dumb - damned near as thoughtless as the manoeuvre which followed. Part of me believes th

The life and death one is weird when it happens. I had a nice hunk of boar one time - but I undercooked it. I tried to swallow a piece (having failed in my attempt to chew it) and it just rolled up in my throat - no way up, no way down. Hom

Ironically, to buy them state-side you'd probably have to pay several times what the legitimate jersey costs.

I wasn't sure in this case; I figured I'd clarify in case my use of "super bowl jerseys" rather than "super bowl winner's jerseys" left too much room for confusion. Also, it was about 2 in the morning when

They sell winner's jerseys to the fans, they make them for both teams because the outcome of the game decides which jersey is reflective of reality.

This reminds me of what happens with super bowl jerseys. They can't manufacturer them after the fact, so they make both and ship the loser's winner's jerseys of to an alternative reality in Africa.
