I think you mean a high slave to citizen ratio.

That's a LOT of code in the controllers. If I had to guess, it sounds like they're putting business logic in their controllers, which is a fairly well-established anti-pattern. How's Shopify's platform performing these d

Some of these time claims are comically wrong. The average man spends nowhere near 90 minutes a day on 'attire and grooming.' Most people don't work out an hour a day either. Laundry? No way that's 2 hours per week. Most

What I find interesting is how the media presents little to no statistics to back up their claims of blacks being subject to de facto police genocide. Here are some statistics: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=

This is a great example of an entrenched incumbent/monopolist backlash against an earnest attempt to cut costs and increase the efficiency of government. This same story happens every day throughout the world in numerous ways, and solv

Wasn't Satoshi just outed as Craig Wright? Although, that story appears to have a lot of holes in it. If this is true, it's fascinating information.

Super cool idea - I'll try this out today.

Are you implying that the media obfuscates reality with selective reporting to push a politically correct/leftist narrative that implicitly demonizes white men? Why, that's absurd! #BlackLivesMatter

Agreed. Given the events the author described, the claim that Amazon sees its customers as 'disposable' is completely unfounded. If I were running a shipping business and a customer had three refunds issued in a brief period of ti

Very cool! I'm a bit of a newb though - how do I install this?

I find the premise of the article rather silly, though I still enjoyed reading it. From my experience in interacting with college students, media workers and business executives we're living in an era of hair-trigger shock instincts, w

This is a great summary of the pitfalls of laissez-faire economics. Do you have a blog where you write about your political/economic beliefs? Also, what books/resources have you found most useful in attaining a more accurate persp

I have a question about bitcoin in general - how do transactions on the network get verified? Does it mostly happen through miners? If so, what happens when mining reaches the point where it becomes economically worthless to everyone except

I've read much the same - it seems to me that the West's current political ethos is largely a reaction to the racial idealism propagated by the Nazis in WW 2, which was used as an ideological justification for the Holocaust. Conse

Very interesting. This topic has some rather pertinent parallels to our current civilization. Suppose: a) Human intelligence is heritable. b) Less intelligent humans are more fertile than their brighter peers. c) The breeding of the less in

I absolutely agree with this. For anyone curious about how psychiatry is bought and paid for by pharmaceutical companies, read the book "Mad in America" by Robert Whitaker. He looks at studies of the long-term outcomes for schizop

Agreed. Annotated code with long-form explanations on the side (instead of annoying comments which clutter up the code itself) is a huge help to aiding my understanding. I hope one day that IDEs will incorporate a code commenting system wit

What you're describing is 'regression to the mean.' Francis Galton noticed this effect when he was studying the traits of various genetically influenced traits. This doesn't invalidate the idea of eugenics. You can still

If the government ends up prosecuting him, it will be a massively idiotic move on their part. It's already bad enough that they've withdrawn their job offer. To use a war analogy, this situation is similar to your army shooting a

It's incredibly difficult in the long run to make money by day trading. You need to be in the top 20% of trading ability to just break even (meaning, 80% of people who day trade outright lose money) and among the top 2-3% of traders if

If government debt grows high enough then an increasingly large percentage of federal spending will be devoted to paying interest on that debt rather than on arguably more useful areas which create future prosperity, such as education and s

Of course Slate would write an article like this. The site was always liberal, but it used to represent a sort of rational leftism. In recent years it's churned out increasingly deranged and self-parodying social justice warrior-esque

From what I gather, in a weighted vote PM system the 'weighting' of the vote (AKA, the expected likelihood of the event occurring) is based on how much money you invest for or against the event occurring. Hence, 999 'for&#x27

With all due respect, you are speaking like an employee, and the OP explicitly stated that his intention is to be a founder. It's undoubtedly true that coding skills can matter in the early days, especially if you're a solo founder and don'

Maybe HN is becoming more negative. Or maybe, just maybe, HN users weren't in the mood for holier-than-thou moralistic berating about how evil the tech industry is for focusing on the bottom line of innovation and profits rather than trying

The Science of Enlightenment is a pretty good intro CD. His YouTube videos are great (I've watched all of them) and he also has a home study course you can use. The URL is: http://www.basicmindfulness.org/

The best teacher bar none in my opinion is Shinzen Young. He is completely secular, has decades of experience, and has developed an in-depth methodology informed by science and logical systematization. He's all substance and has no fluff an
