For as long as I've visited HN, the majority of submissions have been noise, albeit with clean and simple presentation (not just referring to ads but also forum signatures/avatars and other needless decoration). This is entirely n

Here's what The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has to say about dating applications: It is safe to assume that people who are on dating application platforms are mostly insufferable or insincere, and should therefore not be c

Subsets of HN do understand this. Subsets of HN just want to know how long before they need to withdraw their savings, or sell their position. I would say growth is even expedited with high allowances for borrowing/leverage, but at the

Pretty difficult when a lot of government people are in it looking for any opportunity to get into bed with private sector for their own individual gain, and when corporations have far more spending power and far less bureaucratic lag than

Couldn't you just have it charging on a time-regulated supply e.g. smart plug?

Do the lenders actually have the right to that collateral? What are the details in these private SPV deals? And is it collateral if it has yet to be built? (I'm asking because I want to correct my own ignorance.)

If executives were at any risk of facing repercussions for their negligence, greed or outright villainy, I suspect fewer people would aspire to become one or remain one for very long.

At a glance, Battle Programmer Shirase and Patlabor also seem to be absent.

Similar boat to you, but I already got out a couple of years ago in anticipation of the direction AI would take things. Honestly, I've never been happier — that might technically say more about how far from happy I was before, rather t

I do not work in finance, perhaps someone here can tell me if I have the wrong impression on the situation here: Tech giants with AI interests, hyperscalers, have used "special purpose vehicles" — shell companies — to quietly issu

You know, I am interested in the accuracy. I like what OP has created, but out of curiosity, where might I find the most physically-accurate, browser-based black hole simulation?

Yes. To clarify, it's a useful model, but a model it is. One that makes reasonable assumptions about idealised and simplified conditions.

Books and traffic signs must be a struggle. Good luck, I guess.

A downside to the tech. You never really know if you made it because you enter another universe within. You make it to the next cycle, but within a new universe rather than the one you aimed for. Your black hole displaces spacetime within t

You won't make it to the next iteration without wrapping yourself in a black hole and appearing as an anomaly to future observers.

Landed on Cousine in the end, which is the font I tend to use. Fira Code came in second, and that's fair, I've used it on occasion, I like it. I feel like Chivo Mono[1] would make a decent programming font — if a programming versi

If everyone owes the banker £1M, it's the insurer's problem. Then the government's problem when the insurer melts down.

Perhaps, but in terms of getting things done and making progress, it isn't very useful to suppose that it is simply a mystery box and that's that. Because if we just accept that, what do we do then? We just sit and wait for some n

Schadenfreude to the extent of humour. That is a difficulty isn't it, the audience can find whatever it wants funny if that's how it's wired. Perhaps you're right.

I think the word "joke" in the context of his interview was more or less intended to mean "bit" or "skit" or "humour-incitement type" -- rather than literally joke as in "knock knock." I bel

It was not my intention to trigger anyone. I only wanted to say why dark matter is given the time of day. If I came across as condescending or as a know-it-all, I apologise, it was not what I wanted at all. I also must apologise for my use

At no point did I say the laws of physics are beyond question or doubt, and neither did I say dark matter is correct. I just said it makes more sense to give DM priority because what is the point of having a model if you don't start fr
