What you're implying is meaningless to the ones that are dead. So maybe you can now realize why I wrote my response and it was directed towards anyone considering conceiving a child.

I believe the context for the advice is directed to whoever is capable of having children. So, economic gains are meaningless to them when they're dead in 100 years.

Do you have links to share for what you're claiming is now false? I haven't seen any conclusive evidence yet for what you're claiming.

It's completely unethical to have kids and like another commenter has said brings a great disadvantage economically. I would suggest to anyone to not follow your advice. edit: I won't be further commenting on the topic because the

Complete utter nonsense. Humans are as conscious as the hands on a clock moving from the gears that control them. Yes, there's no reason for anyone to believe the electrons making the hands on a clock, aren't aware of forces inter

I don't really understand the ending. Turning the simulation off could in a way be the morally right decision. Depends on how you think about suffering in the simulation. Some will suffer and what about them? That's why I think it

It's amusing to observe "Location-Based Pay" just pop into existence and for the only purpose of lowering the wage of whoever's hired. Programmers have been capable of working from home since the internet matured. Value

Thanks. I felt lucky to read your responses to the person that's stuck on semantics or by whatever force(s) that make him assume he has choices when there's no choices. Majority of people I've been able to have the discussion

The main reason for me of suggesting email is because I simply don't find writing responses on HackerNews as a great medium to have a conversation that likely will be lengthy. Basically, there's no good way to quote or even make a

The understanding of free will being an "illusion" opens a few doors for approaching life. One of them being how society is structured and regarding healthcare, housing, finances, education.. Anyway, people cast their votes by the

Unsure why you're linking that. Do you not realize by my first comment that I'm describing the theory as nonsense compared to what I wrote? edit: ah thanks for the clarification.

Curious why you phrased Apple listening to their customers in such a negative way. Maybe from pessimism bias? I observe a lot of HN commenters don't vibe with how Apple controls & develops their ecosystem. Yet, instead of go elsewh

Depends on what profession in question but for programming I would rather do 5 hours per day for 4 days of the week. Three day weekends are healthier for me and I know from my mood being better when it occurs during the summer where I work.
