I would love to be able to trust that a doctor knows more about my problem than I do, but every time I see one they clearly haven't even read the information I just told the nurse 15 minutes ago.

Man what the hell are you even talking about? Nearly every one of your comments in this thread has been some sort of non-sequitur or is replying to an argument that nobody made. Your only fully coherent comment was the one with the superset

It's laughably naive to think that any significant number of people who vote for a system they think will personally benefit them are in fact doing so purely out of principle, and not at all because it will benefit them. However, as lo

You seem to be missing the point. The person you originally replied to said that those who vote for communism for their own personal gain are self serving. Let's call those people Group A. You then listed a bunch of people who might

What if my grandmother was a bicycle? None of these change the fact that voting for a system to move resources from others to yourself is self serving. You can debate whether it's justifiable or not, but it is self serving by definitio

I enjoy HN's brand of cynicism as much as the next guy, but this is ridiculous. Tobacco companies say that because governments require them to. They are not putting photos of diseased lungs on their cartons to "shock investors int

The rocket they 3D print at the end isn't even the same as the one in the game. It has a curved body, but the game asset is a cylinder.

Even if all that is true, why shouldn't people be able to joke about it? Your sentiment is borderline AI worship.

A word of unsolicited advice: HNers are a prickly lot and will downvote without explanation because you stepped on some unknowable pet peeve of theirs that probably nobody else in the world shares. This happens all the time but you likely o

> There are too many people here in the comments who act surprised That may be so, but since the person they're responding to is not one of them, I don't see the relevance of their comment.

I agree. Please point to the one you're referring to.

So you agree with the person you're responding to, but you're attacking them for stating it with less melodrama than you would prefer? What a useless comment.

I find it to be both as well, as in "packed full of information, but most of it is worthless". Sentences so dense I have to read them three times, assembled into a five paragraph essay of "honest caveats" and "thin

Zellij has a ton of chrome by default to make it discoverable for new users, but you can configure it so it only takes up one line at the bottom of your screen, like tmux. I like to also hit F11 to go fullscreen, which gets me a few more li

I agree. I'm saying that "just have kids younger" isn't a good solution to the risks of developmental defects, because it's usually merely a trade of that risk for a different one.

I get your point, but fighter pilots don't wear armor. There is no reasonable amount of it that can protect against cannons and missiles, and the added weight and bulk of even a bulletproof vest would make high-G-force maneuvers imprac

Perhaps, but that often means selecting a partner more quickly, which is another gamble with potentially terrible consequences.

I used to use em-dashes for explanatory clauses--like this one, for example--when using commas would make the sentence difficult to parse due to other nearby commas. They're only a LinkedIn-ism when used to create an unduly dramatic ju

I've been sending markdown documents to my non-technical coworkers for years in the hopes that they would come to appreciate the simplicity, but they insist on futzing around with Word documents and their fragile layouts. Maybe AI will
