So when people protest, are you going to break up the protests?

Ok so what if my foobar is manufactured in a foreign country and shipped to the United States by a foreign company? CO2 removal will cost the same no matter which country emits it. Who is going to foot the bill for CO2 manufactured in devel

I'm a skeptic of this approach. How do you begin to measure CO2 emissions for the entire lifecycle of a product? I have a hard time believing it wont just benefit whoever has the best carbon-accountants. Tax some carbon, tax some consu

I gained a lot when I learned the internals of TeX (of LaTeX fame.) Of course I did not learn _all_ of the internals. There's no need. Is (La)TeX super confusing? Sure. Is it what the pros use? Definitely. Also, read "The TeXBook&

Magit does this natively with git cherry pick harvest. I type `A h`. I think the real solution is branch protection, however.

It is mildly disappointing. Not necessarily that this article is here but if an article were posted that is equally interesting yet coming from another political bent, it would be almost immediately marked [flagged] and hidden. Even if the

Maybe the point of the comment is to share their own experiences with the medical system and describe how often they get attacked for sharing their experiences? I do not think the proper response to such a comment is to attack them for shar

I agree. Its hard to counter the feeling that HN is getting too big for its boots. In certain "culture war" threads the easy to digest opinions are beginning to dominate. Maybe I just payed less attention a few years ago but I nev

The worst offender is fruit juice. It is practically soda with some vitamin C. Suppose I'm from a country that does not have fruits. How do you convince me to start eating them from a health perspective? Fibre is in vegetables and I&#x

I would love to see a poll where this comment gets presented without context and people have to decide what group it is describing.

Both sides -- the ones that arise naturally from winner takes all voting systems -- are stuck. If they are less partisan than the opposing side, they risk losing ground. If current partisanness trends continue progress is stopped and potent

My cynical take: the alternative is to write freelance articles that are sufficiently tribalistic to fit in with modern digital media. Luckily for the author, freelance writing was carved an exemption from AB5 after AB5 originally crushed f

Who is the target audience of this conference? Of course, any maintainer or people who run arch in production but I’d assume these groups are very small. One day I’d like to be more of a Linux hobbyist. I already use Arch but now that I hav

Healthcare costs per capita are generally higher in the US than they are in Europe. I am curious whether or not you think we should focus on increasing spending to increase medicare coverage or if we should focus on decreasing healthcare co

We already have plenty of politicians who misquote or lie to sow division and therefore violence. What's new here?

I want to get to the point where I'm comfortable using what makes Tcl special like uplevel/upvar. I can use it as a basic scripting language but I don't really grok what makes it special. Its like knowing how to use lisp but

I do not think anyone is confused about whether or not the bill of rights applies to private companies. Free speech is an idea that can be extended to all types of speech.

I would argue that buying anything where the cost is dropping exponentially is foolish as well. This would mean that it makes a lot more sense to invest in the economy and wait until renewable technology stops becoming cheaper/more rel

I agree. Fukushima proved that even when a nuclear power plant is hit by a massive earthquake and a tsunami (that killed more people than have ever died from nuclear power) the disaster can be managed with few deaths and ill effects. If we
