Hacker News has assured me repeatedly that this is an imaginary technology that cannot possibly work, so I assume this must be fake news.

This comment is Hacker News in a nutshell.

I'm convinced Bodak Yellow was the result of a bet to see just how bad a "talent" producers could make a star on the basis of one good song.

I continue to be fascinated by the discussions you feel compelled to chime in on.

I get where you're coming from, and the point is valid in many ways. But I'm relentless in cutting consistently negative people from my social media feeds, and its made my personal…

Edit- NM. Have at it.

There's no reason existing media release forms wouldn't work in this instance.

I think the tweeter may end up having problems over the fact that she did try to exploit the tweets for fame and advantage. If it had been just sharing observations about something…

Fake advertising for the purpose of creating discord is as old as political advertising. I had a friend run for state legislature in the 1990s, his opponent sent people around targ…

There was a saying at my engineering school (and probably others like it): EE->IE->IM->I'm Out. Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Industrial Management, transfer.

I'm curious why it should stay secret when it's literally world-wide public knowledge they have it. What would be at risk by sharing what is absolutely known to exist?

The LAFD might be the most admired municipal organization in the city. They have a very difficult range of environments and handle them very well.

Sort of like the big con in the movie The Sting, but real.

I was also a sales engineer 20 years ago. There was a ton of drinking involved, but never anything wilder. I was honestly a bit surprised how tame the after-hours excursions were g…

I'm sure there's legit pessimism out there. But there's also very likely an organized effort to keep negative Tesla stories flowing on a non-stop basis. Both can be true.

As far as I can tell, that's what the people running the site want it to be. It's been a problem for years and years now and no action has been taken to stop it.

The most effective method is probably to spend a couple hundred a night to hire a security guard to sit with the hives while they're all so concentrated.

Google balloons still show up on ASD-B (aircraft transponder tracking) from time to time, but beyond that I dunno.

I keep thinking I read Gibson said something along the lines of "Delany's Nova was his attempt to reach the heights of The Stars My Destination, and Neuromancer was my attempt to r…

This isn't much different from say Lawrence, Kansas, much less any decent-sized American city.

Unequal treatment in the workplace due to friendship is far, far, FAR more common than due to romance. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever worked at a company of more than a few people…

See Bill and Melinda Gates, for one example.

There has to be more to this than is being revealed. Either something about the relationship or...they don't really want him in place anyway.

What's the ideal vision they should follow?
