You’re still forced to participate in car culture if you use Lyft/Uber/Instacart, you’ve just added middlemen and increased the cost even further. This comment comes across as incredibly privileged, to be honest. Most people must

I’m not entirely sure if I understand the point you’re making, but let me try an analogy. We are all forced to buy a car. There is no one with a gun to our head forcing such a purchase, or a law specifically requiring you to buy a car. But

My experience has been different. Rails is good for everything from small internal projects to larger, enterprise level projects. Like all languages and frameworks, it requires discipline and good practices for the code to remain robust and

Oh, absolutely. If you look at voting records, the overlap between neoliberals and libertarians is incredibly strong in this regard.

That was 40 years ago. In the interim capitalism has won and democracy is failing. Agreements like Montreal will never happen again, at least not in our lifetimes. Look no further than the failure of the Paris Agreement and the ascent of au

I personally doubt that the American government has the power to be able to do such things. Regardless, the incoming administration will under no circumstances impose such restrictions, or push for them to be created. I seem to recall that

As someone who is coming to increasingly believe that 99% of the world problems are caused by powers seeking to intentionally divide us one from the other, I cannot tell you how much joy this brings me to see. I wish you great success in th

I know you find it impossible to believe, but not everyone needs is as closed minded as that. I believe there is something going on worthy of the investigation. People like yourself inevitably jump to “lol you believe in aliens lol let me m

But if it does, then our understanding is wrong. That means there are new things to discover. One of the common reported characteristics of some UAP is that they are able to accelerate hypersonic speeds without a sonic boom. If that is true

It wasn’t only video. The reason the planes were scrambled in the first place was because of hits from the ship’s radar. The planes also saw them on radar. The pilots also made visual contact, and testified under oath before Congress as to

West believes strongly that all reported phenomena will eventually be determined to have a prosaic cause. Further, ridicule and a discouragement of curiosity on the subject are of tantamount importance. Neil deGrasse Tyson is similar. They

> What’s HN’s take Usually when UAP-related news items like this make it to the HN front page they don’t last very long. If this lasts even two hours I’ll be (pleasantly) surprised. Most HN readers, it seems, feel the subject to be abje

Plenty of humans, unfortunately, are incapable of admitting limitations. Many years ago I had a coworker who believed he would never die. At first I thought he was joking, but he was in fact quite serious. Then there are those who are simpl

At this point I believe that any divisive issue is in the interest of Russia, if not wholly originating with it. Given this, “e pluribus unum” feels rebellious.

Not for the vast majority of the American population. For the vast majority, car purchasing is a de facto requirement for life.

I also object to being forced to buy one. You can buy any car you wish, but if you don’t wish? Well, that’s not a realistic option.

The language is pretty clear to me. I understand what you’re saying, and suspect that this is an honest oversight on their part, but as it currently reads forks are prohibited. They may have meant something else, but what it says now is “
