You mean the incident where his copilot intentionally locked him out of the cockpit and crashed the plane into a mountain? Hardly seems like an indictment of locked doors to me.

Anytime this topic comes up, this opinion is invariably at the top of the comments. However I've never seen a non-trivial application made this way. Mind sharing one? More than the query generation, I think people reach for ORMs for st

Am I the victim of the algorithm? Because all I see on HN these days is people pessimistic about tech and society. The tenor here is overwhelmingly negative. Where are you seeing anyone defend big tech, tech bros, or any tech in general?

Clinton era consultants were the only ones saying the obvious: “it’s the economy stupid”. On the other hand it was the Obama era consultants who were fixated on the massive loser that is identity politics

It is undeniable that European countries police speech more heavily than the US does. They have laws on the books that plainly give them this power. They exercise this power quite regularly. Feel free to argue that it is right for them to d

Five years ago, Guinness left the following note on their video of Ben Lee's performance: " It's worth noting that this is no longer a category that our records team monitor - the record has been rested. Our records managers

So you're suggesting there's some other viable model of egg production that would deliver eggs at 2021 prices? People want cheap eggs. Saying, "well if we just adopted a decentralized, more resource intensive model we wouldn&

In obsidian I have a template to insert a timestamp. I have a "Work Log" file I refresh each month where I just jot down whatever with the timestamp. No further organization required.

I’ll never understand this narrative. What product category has Apple missed or failed to execute well in since Jobs died? Do you think there’s an iPhone level hardware product out there that Apple would be shipping today if only Steve were

It’s astounding how often people conflate advances and loans when talking about the music industry. If anything it’s closer to seed capital than a loan.

In what way does it “destroy” diversity? Do you think anyone is persuaded by these rankings to change their beliefs? It’s just a fun game and maybe an interesting insight into the minds of English speaking reddit/hacker news users.
