You don't even want to engage with the question and prefer to keep up the charade. Just feels like a waste of time and effort on your part.

The main difference, in my mind, is that you reply directly to people vs posts are in one direct stream. Hacker news is reddit style, too (by far the closest of those listed). Somethingawful is an example of a BulletinBB style board in 2026

Because the two styles are reddit style and bulletinBB style in my head. Those other three you mentioned are reddit style, too.

But most/all of those don't matter to the users -- the actual user experience is still largely the same.

In what way is it different? They increased the character limit? It's still a short form reddit-style message board, same as it was 3 years ago.

My anecdotal experience is that both of those statements are untrue.

I did find someone making that argument, you. I don't think asking for one example out of a hundred is asking for an in depth discussion, but if you claim this is too much for you then I won't push the issue.

I think you may have very differing views of what "self-defense" situations you and the other poster are talking about. Could you describe a specific scenario one of those hundred people might be imagining?

Not even believable conspiracy slop for 2023, let alone in almost 2026.

He's saying that there's shampoo in the shower but he didn't use it (implied) -- however, the question wasn't about the presence of shampoo in the shower.

You absolutely can measure "various aspects of consciousness" -- for example, "how much of the last 24h has this consciousness been awake" seems simple. So your definition seems kind of weak, could you be more precise? C

Can someone who fell for the 7%+ return explain which part you got tricked by? Was it just not registering as red flag to offer such a high, risk free rate? Or did you believe it wasn’t risk free, but thought the risk of it turning into thi

Here’s a question I’ve wanted to ask — how many people just don’t take photos? I don’t have any philosophical bone to pick with it, I still take a photo if I need to reference something like where I parked; but I used to take photos on my p

>If the hospital/provider sends your bill to a collections agency, then it can definitely show up on your reports. So I agree this was the impression I got in theory , but in practice I’ve never seen this happen. Why is there this

by consz 3y ago
But I guess that’s my whole point is once they sell it to collectors it’s equivalent to the bill not existing? My confusion is around wondering if I’ve somehow fallen through the cracks and got lucky or other people have the same experience

I’ll repost my comment from a recent thread, but this article is a surprise to me, I thought this had already been the case for years? Reposted comment — As far as I can tell, this is the correct way to handle this? I haven’t paid attention

I don’t understand why it’s worth doing that work — ignoring and not paying the subsequent bills in the mail seems to have no downside, so why bother reviewing the procedure codes afterwards? Maybe we’re talking past each other.

Here’s how I think about it — There’s a value X that’s the absolute minimum you would work for, any less and you quit today. There’s a value Y that’s the absolute maximum I would pay you, any penny more and I fire you immediately. Y - X is

It’s absolutely incredible to me how much animosity unions have in the US and how self defeating the typical programmers attitude is (maybe this is just selection bias for HN?) — and I say this as someone who’s definitely not a laborer. B

Maybe? I don’t really care, that sounds like an error for the hospital to fix or get right the first time. Ignoring it seems to have no repercussions.

As far as I can tell, this is the correct way to handle this? I haven’t paid attention to any medical bills sent in the mail since I started working 15 years ago (I generally pay what they ask at the point of service), and I’ve never notice

I still don't follow. In your example, how would you differentiate between that choice of his being lucky vs. prescient? Or was the intent to just provide a single datapoint of him appearing to make a correct choice?
24.
by consz 3y ago
Your argument sounds like (and correct me if I'm wrong) something along the lines of "he chose to do X, and afterwards X was the correct choice, so he must be good at choosing correctly." Isn't that ad hoc ergo propter h

You're accusing others of not understanding how asset prices work, then come up with a scenario that's inaccurate? Or do you claim to understand how asset prices work but not capital gains? Please help me steelman your argument, a

As a big fan of his books, they read a lot differently than most novels. They usually feel pretty un-structured, much of the story doesn't connect logically to me, often times they come to an abrupt end with no resolution. I basically

The prices are minimal -- at CME I believe it's ~15k/month for a 52U cabinet. You can rent these even as a private individual (several friends have rented individual racks as part of a syndicate group renting the whole cab). Of co
