Instantly ctrl-f'd to see if anyone would mention transporters. I believe in some circles this has been dubbed "The Transporter Problem". It's a thought experiment that already exists. Invincible also tackled this proble

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but isn't every vote total extremely unlikely if you make it precise to the exact number of votes? Like the chances of getting n+1, n+2... votes is roughly the same probability. For example the pr

I'm not so sure that renting out housing is a bad thing, unless there is somehow too much rental property. Dense rental housing, which is an inherently corporate thing, is key to affordable housing for people without a lot of wealth. M

The F-35 comment seems especially relevant as (for some reason) negative F-35 posts show up on hacker news all. of. the. time[0]. I don't get why negativity on this plane is such a hot topic here, it's like the lab leak theory of

I don't use my twitch account ever anymore but I don't think there is really the same concept in twitch. I think most people probably watch 1-2 of their favorite streamers since watching streams is already such an incredibly time

Sundar has made the case before which I think is pretty good point: The open web is basically an ads driven model. Without ads the open web would be very different. (Opinions are my own.) The alternative is paywalls everywhere, or existing

You're refusing to pay for a product today based on what they might do in the future? Does the future possibility degrade today's product? Can't you just cancel your subscription if ads start showing up?

I always hear job interviews are useless but do people really stand by that? If you had an interviewee with a bad interview and one with a good interview, you would feel confident hiring the one with the bad interview? If someone refused to

We were funding them before, but now we are not, and I believe the op of this thread was commenting on how we are not funding then right now. By the time the election season is over and we have another chance at funding Ukraine, it will hav

Your "obvious" claim seems more like a strong assumption, that you know the not only the behavior but the mechanism of douyin based on... Obviousness?

If you go to https://www.douyin.com/discover it looks like the same mindless entertainment we see but Chinese people. Maybe they're trying to promote more virtuous content but I'm not seeing it on Chinese TikTok&#

I hear this a lot but I'm pretty sure China has mindless social media apps like we do. I think it's called Douyin or something, if you go to https://www.douyin.com/discover you'll even see the tiktok logo. I&

The links for the bus method, interstitial journaling, and rubber ducking all point to the same link for interstitial journaling. Also, the later "e.g. the BUS method" link points to interstitial journaling as well.

The website shows something like a net but with a trash bag instead of netting[0][1]. It appears the thing he's holding in the picture in the article[2] is not a prop but is the same tool. [0]: https://cleanlots.com/ima

It has always been this way. Actually most of my teachers through elementary and middle school have asked that I be evaluated for ADD (before the H was added), although we didn't really see a point to it since I would just be going bac

I have a tangential question: How can I know which of these self help things are helpful and which are just snake oil? I can't get disciplined and I'm desperate. It's hurting my job, it's hurting my home life. When I dec

Ah, the radar range is 15km, but the firing range is 6km. Fixed my earlier comment.

Gepard has a range of 6km vs buk range of 50km or s-300 range of 120km. You would need a lot of them and they also don't have enough range to cover offensives.

Who is the "culture here" deciding what is a feature or bug? Downvoting for disagreement and disengagement are against the Hacker News guidelines[0] and these are enforced with moderation. (See this post being nuked from hacker ne

Normies would believe the opposite positions - it's fine to think of the children. Age verification does protect children. Legislation protects children. So you've restated the disagreement. When you describe opposing positions as

Fair point, I can see where you're coming from and I'm aware of the origins of the word on 4chan. I use the term not with the intention of placing anyone above others, but denoting the difference between insular forum culture and

Why is this comment downvoted? Outside of internet forums which tend to be very free speech, parental controls would be incredibly popular, and companies that don't have tight content controls receive a lot of scrutiny. As the article

That's not how it works because there is no volume. You can't provide more supply if there's no supply to provide. Each building has a fixed number of units and the management for those buildings are trying to maximize the va

Bone conducting headphones are great, I use them all of the time on walks, and you can hear everything as long as you don't play anything too loud. If they get loud enough then you don't hear certain things but that goes for any k

I tried to go lower on the price of a house once because nobody else was bidding on it during the pandemic. The owners decided to just leave it empty and move to another country. They probably made 400k by leaving the house empty. Every tim
