IMO the Youtube title isn’t even accurate, it’s just clickbait. The HN title is a more accurate representation of the content. Also to back up my sibling commenter, Derek is known to trial several title and thumbnails within the first few h

When teachers or doctors or nurses strike regular people, the general public, suffer. In the case of the NYT tech staff nobody suffers except the NYT leadership. Oh no you can't read NYT during election week. Whatever, read something e

Cool project. I love the idea of building decentralized internet infrastructure on the back of the mainline DHT.

It’s probably extremely slow. But that’s the price you pay for resilience.

I wrote a long rant in response to this but decided to spare you and instead just say this: Shareholder capitalism has fucked up the minds of so many people (especially Americans) where they think the purpose of a company is to extract maxi

I think all OP was getting at is that they miss when the internet was fun. Nowadays everything is either serious business or a cynical grift. Or both. For me, Stealth Mountain is a much more whimsical form of art than the diarrhea taco stan

Disclaimer: I know very little about long covid, so speaking more generally here. I’m also not a doctor. While that is indeed a logical fallacy, doctors are in the business of evidence-based care. How could a doctor responsibly recommend a

I honestly can’t believe they’re street legal anywhere given that the steel panels essentially turn them into a knife driving down the highway.

Thanks for the detailed response, very informative. This sounds similar to DMCA takedown requests, though I’m not knowledgable enough to know the distinction. It’s a shame that to view hidden archives one needs to visit the archive in perso

What’s the reasoning behind hiding content upon request? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of archival? My intuition would say there are 3 cases when content ceases to become available at the original site: - The host becomes unable to host t

I like this a lot. Great for autodidacts like myself. Often when entering a new topic I’m faced with many unknown unknowns. I don’t know _what_ I should be learning. So having an LLM effectively lay out a course of study would be very helpf

I just checked my own LCA. My listed (and actual) salary on the LCA is 1.07x the listed prevailing wage, but it doesn't include stock or bonus which are part of my total comp. Including those, my total comp is 2.06x the listed prevaili

I'm not a US citizen, but you might find that most US citizens would prefer their government to prioritize the interests of US citizens over foreign nationals. Just as I would expect my home country's government to prioritize the

Mixed comments in the github issue. I can definitely see how shorter lifetimes provide better security, but I have also run into my fair share of issues caused by cert expiry. Do we have good data around the lead time between someone’s sign

This is a wonderfully insightful comment, I’d not heard of many of the points you raised. As someone coming from the PoW worlds of Bitcoin and Monero there has always been something about PoS that gave me an ick, but I could never quite pla

Provide one example. Please. Everyone is claiming this but I don't see it at all.

AFAIK there is no mechanism to artificially favor any particular view. There is only the thumbs up/down mechanism meaning what you see is what the userbase finds useful or amusing. It ain't that serious.

Please provide one single example. I am not seeing this alleged racism.

I'm so confused at so many people calling out racism on this site. I just do not see it and no one has yet provided a single example of the so called racism. Can someone show me what you're talking about? [0] Freak_NL says: "

This resonates with me. Maybe I’m just nostalgic because I started my career during the hacking scene of the early 2010’s, but it really feels like we’ve lost our way as an industry since then.

OP said tyranny prefers to use safety as a façade, not that all safety is a façade for tyranny.

I hope everyone here who is praising the A, B, C-player framework recognizes that it comes from Jack Welch’s much criticized Vitality Curve system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitality_curve#Ratings
