We're all standing on top of a Jenga tower, and "that guy" thinks it would be fun to knock out blocks underneath us.

HN mods/leadership appear to have taken the stance that this is a non-political site. Why it's being flagged? People hiding behind the non-political rule are suppressing information and discussion. This site is owned by ycombinato

I was thinking that the US marshals need to be the enforcement arm of the courts. But I am not sure if that would help much in the current situation. Maybe police and federal enforcement agencies should be solely under Congress? At least th

Yeah I think people that complain about git should try running a project with CVS or subversion. The amazing flexibility of git appears to intimidate a lot of people, and many coders don't seem to build up a good mental model of what i

One thought exercise I've had fun with in the past: We already control dogs' sub-species, so let's say we decide to uplift dogs to human level intelligence. How long would it take? At what point does it become unethical to mo

You have to be wrong to learn. Sure it can be frustrating to try to make or do something difficult. But you've never done it before, of course you're not going to know all the correct answers! It just makes it all the more sweet

Generally, when someone reaches 80, they tend to live another 7 or 8 years. Whether he declines before then, to a point of uselessness for the republicans, is a different question. Also I'm assuming someone is pumping him full of every
