Beyond technological changes to the power supply and carbon taxes and regulations for industries, the bottom line is that the number of people is the multiplier for the carbon footprint. So a country like Japan, which is often ridiculed as

Equity is skin in the game. Why are you implying that a well paid engineer, in both salary and equity, would be treating their start-up role as a 9-5 bank job? At the very least a startup is not as safe a bet as a stable job at a big compan

I don't see how increasing demand solves supply problems. Surely there are multiple problems here, not just supply.

I got a Unicomp model M with a trackball at the top right corner of the case and rubber dome keycaps (so I can use it at the office without annoying all my neighbors) and it's currently the longest running keyboard I've comfortabl

You could just admit that you are oversimplifying things without trying to dismiss my credentials. I have experience. I haven't posted anything unreasonable in this thread.

I think you're oversimplifying things a little bit. Some people will try e.g. heroin and get hooked due to curiosity. Some people do derail otherwise promising lives with drug and alcohol use.

Writing and reading repetitive code leads to unintentional defects. This is why for loop syntax that directly iterates through a collection is less error prone than the equivalent loop built on indexed look-ups. "Clever" code, at

This article is about living in Toronto. Doesn't sound like these people are living very large. Canada is suffering from decades of housing policy failure.

This might just be a way of aging ourselves. I do feel that Facebook blatantly flipped the norm that you used a pseudonym and kept personal information private when communicating (much less publishing) online - that's the norm I grew u

In the same boat. Haven't stopped donating as a result, which is a sentiment I've seen repeated elsewhere. It was still upsetting to see the organization I support put so much of why I donate to them at risk for something with so

I think tipping post-tax is part of the longer term inflation of tipping. Once 10% pre-tax was the acceptable tip, then 15% during the 90s, and now it has drifted to 18%, 20% and possibly soon above. Somewhere during that drift it went from

You can also beg for food on the street and technically survive, so there has to be some reasonable standard for what living wage. I'm pretty sure the poster you are replying to is not implying that those 5 people would be splitting a

A key part of the Something Awful forum's success was the $10 registration fee required to create an account. Discussion can't scale beyond a certain number of active user accounts without a large drop in quality. It's kind o

Are you really suggesting it's not possible for an organization to misallocate funds, or that it is not possible to determine if an organization is misallocating funds without running the same organization or a substitutable replacemen

I appreciate this kind of thinking being shared by someone who I recall from previous HN postings spends a lot of time thinking about how to give to charity effectively. I've been turned off from donating to Wikipedia for the better pa

I work in advertising, so I think using Ublock Origin is hypocritical (and it seems is not permitted by my employer's security policy.) I can't find documentation for any "--light" flag, so it's unclear what that do

My Carbon X1 with 8 i7 cores isn't broken. Rather, the internet browser I use largely for work has issues managing a large collection of tabs that include a few heavy web-apps (gmail, meet, sheets and play music).

I'm sorry, but you don't get to tell me what I need to comfortably run a piece of software on my computer. Despite whatever utilization metrics are claimed, Chrome runs like a wounded animal whenever I get into the territory of a

I've wanted that model for music streaming for a long while now. Let me pay for a streaming API key and plug it into third party software that doesn't have a flavor of the day interface and set of features.

You're trying to tell us that software from 2019 isn't new? The majority of the software that I use on a daily basis is minimum a decade old, and I don't think I'm alone.

I partially agree, but I don't think it's stupid - I've been experiencing a gradual push to do more things in the browser for 2 decades (along with everyone else I'm sure) and I don't think it's a positive thin
