The stolen election thing is very dumb, but people forget the same argument was made in 2016 with Russia “hacking the election” with no evidence found.

I agree with the idea that someone who was convicted twice of sex crimes in a leadership role is a bad idea and that by including them you may be excluding others. Although I am cu…

If you are looking for in-person, I think it’s a numbers game. I would like to meet more people like this myself, but I have found a few just by meeting friends or friends that are…

Many people die of HIV, it’s a plague on society. If we just killed everyone who has it, it would be gone. Many of “us” are already dying, and it saves lives in the future. /s

Right, but if someone buys say a shirt with your stolen card, it isn’t the store that picks up the bill. It’s the credit card company.

Kinda shocked Facebook is past Netflix. I realize Facebook isn’t very popular right now, but all I see usually is people talking about how bad Facebook is, while the browse their I…

Not especially experienced with interviewing, but definitely agree with this. Leetcode sucks, but I’ll take it over how finance jobs are where it’s all about connections and where …

Not saying this justifies anything, but at least the reasoning for the high false positive rate is simple. Facebook gets a lot of bad PR for having lots of misinformation. It makes…

Not to doubt the will of the Ukrainians, but this seems like a poll that would have heavy time consistency bias. Everyone is willing to actively resist an invasion until the moment…

I definitely agree with this, but I think you will find very few people that do. People in the middle-class want to believe it has more in common with the lower class. Everyone thi…

great share, thank you!

Didn't know about this Handmade Seattle Conference until these recent links, but these OS demos have become my favorite posts on Hacker news. I'm sure most regular users saw the po…

Love this and I salute you Seattle residents. This is something everyone can get behind. Literally Democrat or Republican, you would be happier with more parties and more options. …

Clean code is specifically a book about how to write code well. This isn't criticizing writing clean code, but specifically what that book recommends programmers do. I wouldn't say…

I don't like that this is beta testing where the volunteers (the pedestrians of NYC) didn't agree to be part of it.

I feel like saying "discussion is bad because it brings mediocre minds" to a discussion is a bit gatekeep-y. That applies to every discussion. That being said though, I do agree so…

I agree that this is the likely biggest contributor but it also makes me incredibly sad because I don't see anyway that this is fixed. There is absolutely no way either political p…

Just out of curiosity, what are some of Chrome's shady dealings? I'm not too informed on the subject.

Small OS projects can be done in any language. Java has an OS built from it. Real Linux and systems projects can only be done with very low level languages. Discord switched from G…

I think the main point is that Go (while a very good language for lower level work) is presented as a better alternative to C++ or Rust because its "nicer" but a big reason it is n…

Only slightly related, but how many real "call of the void" situations are really that? Most seem to be retrospective observations. For example, a criminal studying criminology bec…

Over $600 billion dollar evaluation for a company with only 4 cars. I’d like to believe there aren’t many engineers that buy into his smoke and mirrors.

Also it just moves the problem one person down the line. So the new most powerful position is the person that knows who runs the galaxy and talks to her/him. That person can make u…

Agreed, I think better explanation is much more simple: Those that will do anything for power have an advantage over others, ergo people at high level positions are disproportionat…

I feel this. I feel like a decade ago, video suggestions where based on what you were currently watching and you could find tiny channels and new content easily. Nowadays the sugge…
