I clicked the comments here just to find out what type 1 means, I saw that the site was called "typenetwork", and that didn't mean anything to me. It might not be clickbait as in it is not intentionally misleading, but it sti

Why? I live in a country where I pick a party to represent me in the national government, not a local person, and it seems to work just fine.

Ok, now I have read several of your replies in this thread that are basically all arguing the same thing, so, I'm basically replying to more than just this one post. When you say "the entire population", you mean the entire p

Not op, but I think it means that the cooling system contains a gas that if released (it would normally not be released at all), it would do the same amount of harm to the environment as you would normally do in a year. (I have no idea if t

No, it is because we don't use the tipping system. And it's not awful, and people are not rude, just not "fake-friendly" as americans.

This is why things like "/s" are useful. I also didn't understand that you were making a joke, and was sitting here wondering how using a different type of database would solve this kind of problem.

I think that the economic argument is that it isn't viable for a private company to start a nuclear power-plant, it would require government involvement, and lots of people don't want the government to get involved in something th

Isn't "the sun" an extremely untrustworthy tabloid? and no, I haven't read the article, and I'm not going to.

Why on earth would you come to that conclusion?

I think that he is nowhere as influential as reddit thinks. This is the conclusion I came to a few years ago when trying to find out why nobody had ever bothered to translate his writings into english: Reddit usually points out that what he

While I'm happy that something is being done to address the problems of social media; as an outsider I'm having a hard time understanding why every problem has to be solved with law suits in america.

I guess it depends on the topic. If the topic is some change in the latest release of a programming language, I usually find the comments here to be helpful. But if the topic is global politics or economy, then sure, the quality here isn&#x

I agree about the comments here often being the most interesting part. But I think that the best way to start the conversation is usually with a well-written article. If there would only be a title and no article, I'm pretty sure that

I have other sources that I read when I want general information about what is going on in the world. HN is something that I read for a very specific subset of information. I don't find this to be that strange.

It's the same from an inside perspective.

yes, but the title used here on HN is bad.

uuid = 128-bit int for a database. the "abc-1234-abc...." is just a representation of that int. So, if we think about it as using a int-128 or a string[~25], one of them takes more space than the other. So, except for taking up mo

You really should read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amusing_Ourselves_to_Death Because what you are saying might be how it is today (especially in america), but it doesn't have to be like that. The book I mentio

The problem here is that your initial post, critical of how academia is presented, reads as very black and white to me. I get the feeling that you claim that it is all fraud and lies, and that those who disagree can see no wrong with it at

Not op, but I think that the post that you replied to has a valid point. Sure, the quote in itself is great, but the post that you replied to is pointing out that the person who made that quote is himself doing the same thing as those journ
