I don’t live in an expensive area but the general move towards $15/hr minimum has either caused or been a really strong indicative symptom of something like a collapse in the value of wages. A lot of people doubled their wages nearly o

A few years ago I got a 53 Chevrolet pickup with a 3 speed (and a nice BW overdrive attachment). Learned how to drive a manual in that truck and will never buy an automatic again as long as I can choose. Actually operating the vehicle is

>made it past peer review I don’t think that’s an especially difficult thing to do. It seems any paper dealing with social sciences or history that fits the current narrative is lauded and “reviewed” favorably. I think the mechanism whic

I setup an AWS account in college before I had ever worked and dealt with enterprise security. Didn’t use the account for anything. No 2FA and a weak password and all of a sudden I have a $15,000 bill from a crypto mining script. Worked wit

Why should anyone else’s kids be any of my concern? The metropolitan areas (who have no answers for their own kids and therefore have not increased any socioeconomic situations) are now pushing into my district students who simply don’t car

You really skipped over that “didn’t have rights” part. How many people were in Gulag? And you think there was no corruption in the ruling communist class? Corruption is a feature of any political organization and should be stopped, but mon

HN is exceptionally left-leaning. The only reason posts like that get downvoted is because it signals some kind of moral posturing that is completely irrelevant/unearned and exceptionally negative. It also comes across as lazy when peo

It’s not happening because 10,000 people who have more intimate knowledge of the business than you or I ever will have made decisions to best suit their current conditions. This isn’t an exception to the rule, you’re just looking at a small

To me, having a profile with some kind of “like” system (karma) makes it social media. The main incentive is to gain upvotes which dramatically changes the way in which users write their thoughts. Even though there’s nothing tying the “real

You think people didn’t know about other gods until they could drive? Technology gives people corn syrup and adderall while religion can’t fix a toothache. People increasingly believe this means that one is better than another or that they

Every time I talk to someone that’s on a stack of meds or has gone through multiple journeys using modern medicine they always seem to be the most unhealthy people. It seems like a chicken or egg problem, and maybe it’s just confirmation bi

Can you explain why orbit is such an important point to you? If I got launched to 1000 miles out and just “fell” back to earth without achieving orbit I’d definitely consider it a trip into space. Smells like sour grapes. Turn off the news

People are incredibly masked online, that is true. They run their posts before the “upvotable” heuristic before submitting. But in a small familial community you can’t just be technically correct while also being an ass in how you make your

They have their pick of the litter when it comes to dating. They’re much more likely to get a college degree. I think overall they’re less likely to be disgusted by the hollow and meaningless culture that has engulfed all. They aren’t arche
