This is pretty much why, even though HN has better discussion quality than most websites, I’m leaving. I guess this isn’t super related to the article but from my experiences here on HN, even if conversations are not outright trolling or in

I don't think I'm reaching. Read the comments below, about the fact that children learn this spine-bend posture early on, way before any sedentary lifestyle. I'm pretty sure 3-year-olds aren't using washing machines eith

I haven’t seen anyone posit a theory as to why Western people bend this way, so I’ll go: Extreme sex and body shame. We receive, from a young age, shame about exposing - even with clothing on - “sexual” parts of the body - breasts, butt, an

No, Capitalism itself is rigged against good honest people.

The thing about trolling is, it’s like trying to have a conversation with a screaming baby in the room. You’re going to have to deal with the baby first, and that issue has nothing to do with free speech. It has to do with the real, sad, ab

The writer of the article strikes me as not very intelligent. Successful, yes. But not smart. He can pretty much say the “DNA” is anything he wants, since it’s after the fact. Also people who use “sciency-sounding” words this brazenly make

Exactly. It doesn’t matter what the causes are. The fact is it’s harming people as a whole and talented women aren’t being treated fairly. All the biology in the world doesn’t explain or fix this very real problem. Also, we are not slaves t

I guess I’m confused on what the goal of all this is.If we wanted a computer that thinks “just like a person”, why don’t we just get a person? Is the advantage of the computer that it has no rights to being paid or treated fairly? If that’s

That’s a pretty sad view on humanity isn’t it? When they get angry throw them in the garbage?

There are a lot of worthy causes that are great places to make “warlike” effort in. Therefore friendships happen when each individual chooses to go fight the war worth fighting. Your friends are the people who meet you there on the battlefi

I am sure there are tons of examples of cross-border nuisances. Probably since the beginning of borders. This is not a new issue.

I don't buy it at all. The article takes a very strangely sympathetic tone toward the whole situation. The noise has been narrowed down to one island that has "a few blasting operations". So stop the operations and see if the

Did you even read the article? The tweets are egregiously misleading and bring absolutely zero to facebook’s case for playing the victim.

This detail exonerates no one. After successfully subverting our election, Russia has continued their effort toward the 2018 mid-terms. It’s working so why stop?

I agree with pretty much everything here and I'm interested in working on a project to solve at least one of these problems. I've been a meetup organizer for a while and I can also do fullstack JS. Are you looking for co-hackers?

Ok, that sounds cool. Is there a proof of concept somewhere?

I just said that guy had an abnormally great situation compared to most retail jobs.

Honestly I’m surprised they are still around. Don’t get me wrong I love the stores, and it’s sad to lose nice things. I’m not happy about it. But don’t blame the new CEO, blame the old CEO for doing nothing for a decade as the market transf

Yup, I have. It’s usually hard, stressful, customers are assholes, work is part time and unpredictable hours, and pay is horrible. Have you?

Reading that Storytime guy’s tweet, I really wondered: Has this guy never taken a look at his situation and noticed something off? He works in a relaxing huge retail store reading books to kids for free, and makes above min wage and keeps h

Um, did anyone really not see this coming? Their whole deal was “we are going to merge humans and machines”, yet it had zero technical side on how to do that. “It has become a conference and seminar company” ..... No, that’s what it was fro

Well, every time you choose to do one thing, you also choose to not do a million other things. A lot of people are experiencing real harm to their mental state from habitual social media use.

Its not that hard to sign up for an account on airtable or trello or whatever service.

This happened to me too. The value of being on facebook is an illusion. In person relationships are vastly more rewarding, both emotionally and financially.

I honestly don’t know why so many companies are clinging to open offices with a death grip. Who does this benefit???

How is it expensive to solve the bullpen issue? Tell people to STFU or build a wall in the office, or at least put up some dividers. It’s not rocket science. Most CEOs and VPs are idiots, handing money around to each other in a circle jerk

Couldn’t she just set up a trust where she only gets a set income each year, and has no access to the rest? Wouldn’t that solve the problem of being a target for stealing/violence?

OP here. Wow thanks for all the replies and views on why war happens. I guess you could always explain any war by listing all the events that came righ before, but I don’t think that answers another question, which is this: Why is it “ok” f

Yeah this is kind of my point. I guess I probably don’t get it because I didn’t grow up in a military family. I guess people will do whatever they have to do for money. Because they are poor. I’m pretty poor too but I feel like I have other
