   I miss the pre-www world (but I was just a kid then, and being a kid was pretty great). If we could go back to about 1994 tho when all I had was a mostly dumb cell phone, that'd be great. I do miss that world.

   This seems ripe for a joke akin to "how was the food?" "bad, but at least the portions were big!" Like, "how was the medical advice" "worse than a doc's, but at least it was cheaper!"

   One statue of liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World, Liberty Island, NYC) is approximately 4 times the size of one statue of liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World replica, Île aux Cygnes, Paris). Easy peasy.

   I am sympathetic to your analogy. I think it works well enough. But it falls a bit short in that encyclopedias, lossy or not, shouldn't affirmatively contain false information. The way I would picture a lossy encyclopedia is that it ca

   I am not sure I would rely on observations of gyms and beaches for whether people are healthier for fear of selection bias. Going to the beach and seeing mostly fit bathers is like going to the hospital and seeing mostly sick people and thi

    This is seriously the thing I like the most about my 2017 and 2023 macbooks. The trackpad feels so good. Every other manufacturer that I have tried, and no it is not all of them but a lot, they all make my fingers feel bad after using them.

    Surely the hopes for Pope Pizzaballa is in part because of his name?

    I would pay $500bn to get siri to distinguish between a 13 minute timer and a 30 minute timer.

    This is what I do. I cannot call it Twitter anymore because that makes me sad (I miss you Twitter 2008-2016). I cannot call it X because that is dumb. So Xitter it is.

    That is an interesting question: do people generally care about the survival of the species? I am not actually sure I wouldn't take the bet against you there. Given what I perceive about how little people care about wars that they thin

    Why is Musk attacking these things in the EU? Why does he care what we do?

    What are the financial reasons for governments to want mass surveillance? I can understand some other reasons, which I think are illegitimate, but I cannot think of a financial reason. At any rate, governments are all made of people who are

    I have a really hard time understanding why we as a society (or various societies) are okay these kinds of things. Sure, I understand that there is little I can do about it, but why are powerful people okay with their car company or phone c

    But it is trivial to allow js per website using ublock. My default is no-js, and if there is some website I really want to use that requires js, then I enable it. If I find myself using that website regularly, then I make the permission per

    Thank you for that. I really enjoyed it. It resonates with me. I have lived in three different countries, and in my two non-native countries, I have enjoyed my life much more. I think part of it is that there I have been somewhat oblivious

    Looking back on some of the comments from this thread^, especially those claiming that TSMC building a factory in the US was infeasible/impossible, was entertaining in light of the current thread. ^ https://news.ycombinator.c

    There was no art, poetry, craftsmanship, skill, talent, fame, friendship (or relationships of any kind), flavor, joy, celebration, or creativity before the Industrial Revolution. Gotcha.

    I have been a long-time iPhone user, but my daily driver is Linux. Once, a long time ago, I had high hopes for a Linux phone. TFA mentions Lineage and Graphene. Are these the only realistic alternatives these days? Why would one choose one

    I understand not wanting to. I have been compiling my own kernels since about 2008, I think. I have occasionally thought about switching to something else, but really it has only gotten better (faster) over time. When I was young and spry,

    I agree, because I suspect that it would not be different from us in general (differences in details of course, which would be the interesting part)!
