Thanks for the detailed reply, but I disagree with almost every point that you made. You took the extreme version of "no privacy" with the "America's most stupid" example, so allow me to take the opposite extreme. I

That's not difficult to comprehend at all. It sounds like you're not comprehending my point.

Why is being nude normal in some places, but not others? That suggests that a stigma exists in one but not the other, and so participating in one or the other is implicitly supporting that.

Yes. I've probably spent more time tanning at nude beaches than most people.

The phrase "rug pull" is almost cartoonishly evil. It implies waiting until the victims are feeling nice and secure, and then you rip everything out from under them as quickly as possible. The fact that the phrase has become so cl

Sorry but I just don't buy it. There's no functional difference between swimming in undergarments or swimming nude, so if you choose nude, it's because you don't think it should be stigmatized. If you think it feels so m

Your choice to swim nude in a public lake outweighing the choice to be more prudish is destigmatizing.

In the US, basically any public place (nude beaches included) is open for people to film. I believe there are some exceptions like public restrooms, where there exists a "reasonable expectation of privacy." But yes, people are als

Assuming we're talking about the US, if you are in public, people absolutely are free to stare or film you.

You can enjoy the freedom of being nude on your own private property then. No need to add "in public" unless you are trying to a) destigmatize or b) be an exhibitionist

>But the damage was done. Afterwards, everyone was afraid of being filmed without consent again. Devil's advocate, but isn't the point of being nude in public that you are destigmatizing it? I know you mentioned this was a &quo

I've worked at several startups, but my experience has been that I've been relatively siloed in my work. Maybe I wasn't taking advantage of the startup experience, but aside my limited view at standups, I didn't know how

I've had IRL conversations with almost fanatical climate change activists, and I believe they look at it this way: even if they're completely 100% wrong, nothing is lost by improving how we treat the environment.

This is a big deal! This adds a super power to communication, similar to how a photo is worth 1000 words. An inversion is worth 1000 diffusions!

You make a great point... we can't stop the decay, so the growth has to outpace it.

Which countries don't have university acceptance rates? I looked at Denmark and Sweden, they still exclude people. Someone mentioned in Germany if you don't get accepted, you go on a waiting list.

Maybe create a default room for the HN crowd to join? I also had the same experience as OP... "nobody is here".

How could you even get into that business? It seems like something that only the university administration and the lenders can participate in.
25.
by daenz 4y ago
I tried to verify the claim. At least for Sweden, their universities still have an acceptance rate, with the highest being 80%, and the next highest being 35%[0]. Denmark's highest acceptance rates are in the upper 70s, low 80s[1]. Yes

The student loan forgiveness debate is such a mess. Here's just a sampling of the arguments I've seen, and I'm inclined to think there's some validity to all of them: * Loan forgiveness creates perverse incentives

I'm not trying to put them on trial but... The OP has no way of knowing if they would be a better parent, but yet they still very strongly think that they would be a better parent to a child that has 100% similar dna than 50% similar
