This thread is seriously bonkers. When we were children, our elders were well aware of a link between alcohol and cancer (among other failures like cirrhosis) because their elderly friends would pass away from one or more of these. It was,

Just flag it, it's not worth the effort to get into this. For anyone not aware of the context, look into the recent NIMBY bullshit by Andreessen.

I'm surprised this is coming to light now. I evaluated their tech early on, and it struck me right away at how poorly thought out some decisions were. Very basic things, too. One distinct issue I remember is not having any sort of an &

I've cancelled my Spotify premium sub years ago because in truth they've always had ads: the Dashboard always had artists that I had zero interest in listening to, that were not part of or related in any way to the music in my lib

No doubt then you're familiar with the Antikythera. You would think that more people would put two and two together but what baffles me is the dissonance in people's minds of ancient civilizations - namely that they were oh so pri

It's disappointing to hear, with the number of people here claiming how IA has run afoul of the copyright law, that it's an open-and-shut case and there is nothing more to discuss. I feel like the air of the hacker spirit on the w

I needed this today, and I'm sure I'm not the only one on HN. A sort of a lament for innocence and nostalgia. Thank you for sharing.

Artosis, a well known SC2 commentator recently departed from South Korea to move to PEI, Canada. What's in PEI, you ask? I have no idea. Probably the real estate price is still somewhat reasonable (but even that is a big question mark

This boils down to greed and selfishness, but people even on HN don't want to call spade a spade so they dance around it and give complex somersault answers because they are afraid/too socially conscious to speak the truth.

Would not surprise me that EE is also way more offputting it due to the amount of rigor, and dedicated practice required to get anywhere with it - just to graduate is a serious undertaking. Contrast this with bootcamps and everything else t

Why is this comment downvoted? It's literally what goes through the minds of parents of newly weds and weds-to-be. Let's not beat around the bush and be upfront about it.

I don't believe whatever news are posted these days regarding crypto. After the whole gamestop charade of people cheering on the downfall of hedgefunds, it turns out they turned a healthy profit after all and none of what was originall
