Ugh why is a dating article near the top of HN? Go to reddit for that nonsense.

Maybe you can answer this. What amount of the CP pictures are actual CP? Like are teens posting selfies of themselves in swimsuits or revealing clothes being submitted? People with their kids in the bathtub/pool? Are most of these

OK, I'll forfit 100% of my rights to eradicate CP from my country. Then lets say these measures are effective and CP is removed in all but name from the country. Now what do we do with the thousands of people and billions or of doll

I really don't get this are you in some super poor country? No offense intended. I'm an IT manager of a mediocre real estate company and I have a decked out home office with all the new toys and with a mini data center that coul

That is actually a really cool idea. Probably a lot more work than it sounds like.

Cool. That said this guy is basically describing a notebook. No computer necessary. If his goal was a 1000 year computer that would be something. Unless every person on earth wants to become a PHD in CS this is a dead end. How do you fix

I quit caffeine for a year and found it not to be worth it. I'm simply not a 9-5 type person so when I have to go in an office I need caffeine to function and I function much better.

Epstein was possibly the most high profile case of child sex trafficking linked to people in power in all of history. Instead of being treated as such every procedure, protocol, and standard were botched, disregarded, "glitched",

How many of those extensions have 1mil+ users though. Its called prioritizing. The fact that they treat popular extensions just like one that tom wrote for him and his family to share pictures is poor mgmt. They are making money so there

The only reason accredited investor exists is to reduce free market competition. If everyone could invest in UBER when it was $1 a share it would not make billions for the "accredited investors" when it went public.

The main issue I have with these sites is that they are relatively pointless. The really only are able to cover low and mid level position salaries. Those salaries are not generally very elastic anyway and you can get pretty close to the

All fine and well but at the end of the day I've tried to convert real world (non SV) companies and issues like people finding a 10yo macro that won't work on libreoffice is just too much in the cost column to outweigh the benefit

Real minimum wage was already $12-$14 pretty much anywhere. It basically just removed the 7.25 training wage for the first 3 months.

The main problem is they don't really have algorithms. Its just "hey here is a low budget garbage version of the show you were watching." That's not an algorithm. That is just crappy category matching that companies w

My point is no one is going to cure cancer or solve global issues because of psychedelics. I have no issues with experiencing things. I just don't like that people try to sell it like it is anything more than that.

I was talking about these "grand revelations" people claim to get. Medical use is an entirely different thing. Your second half just reinforces my original point. Its an "experience" ie just getting high.

The problems with these types of books to me is that the researcher surgically analyizes a tiny part of the whole picture and claims this is the grand solution or something like that. This book does nothing other than highlight common knowl

Beat me to it. I can't imagine how even with the boxes(many which are recycled) it is less efficient for a single route driver to replace hundreds if not more individual trips for the same result.

Media is clueless as usual. Are people spending gold bullion/coins? Nope. The government independent value store is the value of bitcoin.

My experience is the exact opposite. I often skim the article and find that commenters are better informed than the author and provide more relevant information.

I think there is a sort of subconscious push for this that not everyone attributes. In tech work if you are at an office you tend to get "dump trucked" work even if it is not your domain or responsibility. "I gave it to you

I've actually started trying to see how wrong the newer Capchas from will let me be on purpose. Either by not selecting all of them or picking wrong ones. They let you through a lot of the time.
