Cool but I'm a bit confused - bubble sorted by what, exactly? Like what is the y-axis?

The photo on his Twitter account has one of the websites listed in his HN profile (Crossies) in the background, so I'm assuming that's him.

You have every reason to take pride in your work and how far you've come, but you're missing the point. "Slave labor" is of course an exaggeration (and an exaggeration that shouldn't be made lightly) but the point i

Yeah, people have been talking about the decreased Vitamin D levels in COVID patients and suggesting supplementation since almost the very beginning of the pandemic. Maybe they just don't want to draw attention away from the fact that

I think they're saying to be mad about what data is collected. For example, be mad if they're storing your IP address and location and not be mad if they're just storing a counter of how many people visited their marketing

I appreciate that explanation. While awkward, I believe "efficiency zone" is a much clearer term to use, or at least it was worthwhile clarifying that that's what you meant. While I understand what you're saying, I still

I don't think you're a creationist - this is just a very common distinction in thinking about evolution that results in all sorts of illogical fallacies. This is my exact point: Your hands have no purpose. They evolved in a way th

I think we're on the same page in believing that there's not an inherent morality to these behaviors. I'm not accusing of you to try to justify some morally evil act. The comment you originally replied to said this: > Weir

I already said this in a different comment, but the difference is that we were not designed while a Swiss army knife was. Design implies intent— it implies that something was developed for a purpose, that it's supposed to be used i

Chasing an animal down, killing it, and eating it is in my opinion a significantly different activity than subjecting it to thirty likely-invasive procedures over the course of its life and then continuing to perform experiments on its dead

What do you mean "which personality I want to get"? You don't choose between five personalities, you find where you are on the scale of different personality traits that are present to some extent in everyone. And yes, you ca

I once had a coworker message me out of the blue asking if I'd be available to chat later that day. I said sure, thinking he'd follow up with the topic of the chat, but he just sent me a non-descriptive calendar invite. I didn&#x2

Outrage is feedback. The people in that subreddit, the people in this HN thread, are all people who have had to apply for jobs and go through interviews, and thus are all potential customers. If your potential customers are outraged by the

If you feel it's acceptable that having money/networks of people with money would give people an advantage in the world, the shock is understandable. However, others are vehemently opposed to the world working like this and anythi

I'm confused at your invocation of that quote. Are you saying the solution to this woman having to work a job she doesn't like is to force low income workers to work jobs they don't like? And the flood of low income workers w

What kind of publications are you referring to? Yeah, many pop-sci articles often overstate the implications of a given discovery, but actual research papers (such as the one linked) typically have a discussion section in which they describ

This is the part of psychology I don't like. What really gets hijacked here is a basic understanding of neuroscience and neuroanatomy, used to support otherwise unsubstantiated theories of what is presented as a neurological phenomenon

I really hope Anker stays off this list. They always seemed to make quality products, but I can imagine they'd feel the pressure to give into shady tactics themselves if all their competitors were engaging in it. I've ordered some

This may be your experience, however I have extreme doubt that these are anything but learned behaviors. There is nothing intrinsically masculine or feminine about sticks, dump trucks, strollers, or dolls. They are just objects, and for t

I'm not sure which Latin dances you're thinking of but I can think of a bunch of instances in salsa where objects in my right pocket would get in the way. Definitely in bachata, and kizomba if one considers that a Latin dance. A

It's cool to hear about everyone's good experiences with Fry's in the 90s; maybe they would have managed to stay in business longer if they'd ever updated since that period. I worked at a Fry's (the lone location ne

This is an honest question - Can small businesses in rural areas afford a $20/hour minimum wage? I can't imagine a grocery store in a small town being able to maintain much of a staff (or any) at that rate, for example.
