What are some other examples of topics that, well gorsh-darn, the algorithm just had to push 'em down so we can all get along? HN is an echo chamber.

Yeah, and that made me wonder whether survivorship bias could be at play. That is, populations at lower elevations see less opportunities for suicide due to individuals dying of things like heart disease, etc., before they have a chance to

I used to share your confusion on this topic, but I think I got it: General Relativity posits that gravity embodies both of those qualities you mentioned. It is a force that bends space and dilates time.

The authors added "electromagnetic field", which also happens to involve particles.

I only have that when I'm reading something and really trying to take it all in. Otherwise my internal monologue is a combination of notions, visions, and words. Do you think in complete sentences?

I would support an all-hands-on-deck response to the blinding headlight problem. Incident declared!

They criticized Google for holding a value they perceived to be at odds with the underlying economic system. During a discussion of said company's defiance of a federal judge, such a critique seems pertinent to me! We have continually

It may have been worth it for the author to mention that Apple is sitting on the biggest pile of cash in the known universe.

Incoherent article rife with generalizations and appeals to non-experts. 0/10.

TIL that only two minivans (the Sienna and the Pacifica) offer AWD. That surprised me! And incidentally (getting back to the original point of the article), both models feature a pretty flat front-end for a minivan. I wouldn't be surpr

Would you mind clarifying your argument? How would you define "breakthrough innovation"? I think that's critical to my understanding of your point.

I had never even heard of this, and I've watched dozens and dozens of episodes of Spacetime! I'm shocked YouTube didn't steer me to this sister channel. Thank you!

> The plane practically flies itself. Personally, I would perhaps allow this turn of phrase in reference to take-off and cruising, depending on equipment and assuming VFR, but I'm not sure I would ever say this about LANDING any pla

The so-called "data economy" has improved our lives in immeasurable ways. I can more easily discover products that are relevant to me. Deserving innovations are granted a platform for quicker adoption. The world at large is more e

Sorry I wasn't more helpful. See Jacob's reply. Keep doing what you are doing! No discouragement was intended.

Hello xpe, I'm rather glad that it does. I'm continually triggered by this horrible pattern that frustrates me and wastes my time. In turn, I think it is arrogant of UI designers to assume that everybody will automatically underst

Twitter is crawling with scammers and pump-n-dumpers. It's impossible to use it for investment talk. You spend all your time blocking people, and ticker hashtags are abused by people selling their discord channel or other crap. Also, i

Please stop with the icon menu bars. It is 2021, and people are still doing this. Why. Just stop. Arrrgh. Anyway, I absolutely love this idea! I signed up and am poking around now. I think I already like this more than Benzinga, Stocktwits,

Looks like I'm being downvoted into oblivion by insecure male investors. Perhaps they are bitter about lacking the gumption to handle such situations professionally and ethically? Perhaps they avoid any and all critical conversations w

Here's the thing, though. I don't use Vim as an IDE. I use it on live servers to change configs / scripts / app code (don't tell anyone) quickly and efficiently. I don't think "extra doodads" would he

Nah, if it's a historically or culturally significant issue, I'm definitely linking to it so people can read about it. Just add a warning not to post meaningless garbage in the ticket's thread, if you're that concerned a

I think OP is referring to the headline snippet "magic of mushrooms," which some may interpret as a hint of their hallucinogenic properties due to the "magic mushroom" slang.

Yep! Weirdly, I didn't get into it until the mid-00's when my older brother showed me Continuum. The game is still fun today!

The "a bit off" feeling you described fades after a few more sessions. When I meet people in real life, it's usually at a bar or club. It's not healthy to go out drinking every weekend, so there's one major advantag

I generally agree, but: how early in one's life must hair loss occur for it be considered "premature" balding? More importantly, why can't we accept that a man at any age may suffer from anxiety, depression, and/o
