Another article where discussion is engineered. If the article is in any way provoking you to question it in any way and to go down those rabbit holes with preconceived talking points, it’s by design. It’s getting tiresome reading articles

It’s an article whose discussion points are engineered. It’s not in good faith, and it’s a more frequent problem with articles in general.

I’ve commented on this topic recently, and go figure Haidt is brought up: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44402475 I’m of the opinion there’s very little (not nothing) wrong with social media, and a whole lot wrong wit

Empty comment from me but thank you for being more nuanced than most about what constitutes an addiction. It’s tiring to listen to the HN wringing in some performance of outrage of who can be the most offended yet least affected by the arti

As expected a lot of the comments here are anecdotes. I’m assuming there exists a class of highly technical articles that get posted regularly that incite ancillary discussion, but no real contribution involving the article. For me, I don’t

That has been the case for a very, very long time. Classical music is basically one big orgy of wealthy people. Musicians born into families of musicians that were well off. Same goes for other artistic pursuits such as painters etc. I foun

Maybe I missed it but which FPGA did they use for this? I’m interested in learning FPGAs but there doesn’t seem to be a lot of freewheel documentation or software out there, it’s mostly vendor locked. I’m spoiled by the availability of STM3

> It's about scaring the world so that the world stops criticizing primarily israel. You should back up this assertion with facts and evidence otherwise nobody will take it at face value and it will be categorized as drivel.

I’d like to see a proper study on this that can be replicated before I jump on this train. And I’m a supporter of Jonathan “the kids are not alright” Haidt but let’s not kid ourselves his work is questionable throughout. It’s easy to dogpil

This theory about Edward Bernays and the lucky strike being some PR mastermind striked me as bullshit and still strikes me as bullshit. People have convinced themselves of how this one guy is behind it all because it’s an easy answer - that

I want the games I play to be an escapism. By proliferating them in media further it destroys that for me, because it’s now everywhere and no longer an escape. For many of us growing up, and in learning to code and build shit, escape from t

The commercialization and exploitation of this game made it basically unplayable for me. I’m hoping they won’t do the same with Uncharted since I’ve yet to play the last sequel.

I have reservations about adding YouTube as it’s got a massive amount of useful content; a little curation and it won’t show you any nonsense. Reddit is a mid-range, so I can understand it. It’s hard to separate the good and the bad there I

I was wondering when buffering was going to be a thing. I’ve been seeing it on YT and figured it’s the Adblock wars getting heated up. The next step is to scrape the videos, strip the ads, store them on a torrent magnet and serve that inste
