Radiolab has a great episode about how this more broad application of the first amendment sort of came about due to Oliver Wendell Holmes changing his mind about what actually constitutes a "clear and present danger" between two S

I appreciate that you broke apart the users into two groups. I imagine Group B is much larger than Group A, and that the Haskell maintainers want to emphasize "if you use accursedUnutterablePerformIO, make sure you are in Group A!&quot

Hypothetically, let's say I owned a modest home. Then, what if a very wealthy person who grew up in that home wanted to buy it for a grand sum of money? In that case, I'd be torn between revaluing my house to a huge amount (that n

There is a great Radiolab series about this: G. The IQ test is an effort to measure "general intelligence", or "G", but the test has had biases over time with regard to race. The landmark study by Herb Needleman on the l

Maybe the Russian Central Bank is buying up rubles to attempt to stabilize it? They probably wouldn't be exchanging them for BTC, but may be the ones holding the rubles at the end.

I've seen this on HN before, but wanted to resurface it. Now that I have been working remotely for quite some time, I am noticing these differing communication styles now more than ever. Especially with phone meetings that remove any b

At-will employment varies by state, so CapitalistCartr's comment above is true in many states[1]. For example, in Georgia, your employment can be terminated for no reason at all at any time (as long as it is not for a protected reas

I do think you're onto something here. I've heard about "right-clicker mentality" [1] in relation to NFTs, which seems to align with your description of its utility as a wealth signal. [1] https://www.vice.com

Maybe it is because they are so expensive compared to other nuts globally? I wonder why they are so cheap in Irkutsk, it looks like they go for $117/kg in the United States [1]. [1] https://youtu.be/k88Cu5SoABg?t=31

If you opt into the class settlement, you absolve the defendant of all liability so you can't sue them yourself in the future (for the same issue). If you don't join the class, you can still sue the defendant separate from the cla

Realistically, I think most of the time, if the ad is targeted well, there are no issues. I see a good amount of ads, and the most annoying ones, to me, are the most poorly targeted ones. However, I do think there is an inherent creepiness

I wish my 71yo dad was as proficient as your mom. He doesn't remember anything he doesn't do regularly. For example, he texts frequently but doesn't know how to check his email. Because I am the tech support child, he reaches

Hi! I've been trying to stick with apt for installing stuff on my Pi to make software updates easier, so yeah, installing via Cargo was something I was leaning away from. No bugs to report. Thanks for sharing your tool!

I am running the Bash script from the linked blog post on my local Raspberry Pi. Is your Lambda for pointing back to your home network? If so, that is awesome that you can do that using a remote service. If you don't mind sharing, how

Nomorobo does exactly this (except the robo calls are mostly auto-detected and the script read to them is pre-recorded). It records their conversation for your entertainment also! I think you can submit your own recording to harass the robo
