People have been making great arguments for decades, but that hasn't worked. There hasn't been any substantial change. In fact, Trump has been gutting environmental laws, rolling b…

That's what the data shows.

Yeah, good idea, let's do nothing for another 100 years.

So you're saying we should just ignore the facts? The fact is: the government is mostly controlled by one particular demographic, and they are the ones who got us to this point. Th…

I can't afford that, I'm a wage slave. So I have to fight with the limited means I have, and one way I can fight (aside from protesting) is to make noise on the internet.

Disagree, it's important to start changing the dialogue everywhere you can. HN likes to stick their head in the sand because a lot of the people on this site benefit directly from …

I think the time for sitting around singing kumbaya has passed. It's time to start acting, because if we don't this planet is fucked.

You can silence us, but that doesn't make us disappear.

C isn't happening yet, and congress is still about 2/3rd boomers. I don't think A is significant enough to affect retirement accounts, so it's not something boomers are passionate …

Let me guess, this is a new content marketing channel?

This is correct. It's not generating the clicks anymore, so they've moved on to other things. The media only cares about whatever gets the most eyeballs.

Meh, I've worked for more than one of these, and I'd say they are thinly veiled hiring or marketing material.

I would be less bothered by it if someone was building something other than killing machines. And I really don't care what flag someone waves, nationalism is dumb.

Sounds like someone just made a huge pile of cash by selling magic computer codes to the government. Your tax dollars at work.

I'm also very concerned about climate change. I feel like boomers have robbed young people of their futures.

That's fair, I am well aware of my luck in this case. I guess I just wish that someone had explained to me the real value of SV lottery tickets when I was younger. FWIW I grew up p…

Yeah, this makes sense. I got it especially bad, since I joined startups that raised a huge amount of money on promises of riches, and then failed after burning through hundreds of…

That's the correct term for what happens when animals get together and create copies of themselves.

The rubberizing thing is similar to the helmet effect with bicycles: injuries tend to increase when people wear helmets while riding bicycles, likely because they're more willing t…

I agree with this. My family didn't have money to buy me things, but I found ways to get into computers and programming myself. In the 7th grade I started helping the school comput…
