Why would old people vote for other old _people_? I understand they’d want to get ideas favorable to them to be applied, but that may as well come from any _not old_ person.

And to continue with the analogy, he neither replaces the coach, nor the actual team players. He just sits on the bench, paid for his - additional - role. Exactly the contrary of t…

Would you know any alternative?

Tl;dr: 89 fresh cadavers used since 2017 (cost ~860k$) for “hands-on training on non-perfused and perfused cadaver bodies” to simulate battlefield injuries. Seems like “noble” (?) …

I’m super interested in this topic of “how to keep a community alive”, (1) introducing new blood - with the risk mentioned above - at a regular pace, and (2) keeping existing membe…

As long as those “grunts” get a better reward than their teammates, that would be… fair?

French here, working/living in France, and not aware of any state-backed “shorter work week” test. According to my research, only SME applied it so far (with 2 exceptions of 1000 a…

> How exactly do you ensure that you only hire the best person for the job? I understood Scale’s stance as: « out of the candidates we have in front of us for any opened job positi…

Assuming that framework is true - which I’m not challenging at all -, why would you need to _fire_ the builders, instead of pivoting them to new greenfields projects - as I assume …

Based on my experience (electric motorbike), the regenerative breaks are super strong indeed. You can tweak their « force », but usually, the strongest level is the most comfortabl…

Discovered SomaFM thanks to HN and in love with the SF 10-33 (SF police scanner mixed with ambient). For those of you loving the “deeply-focused and manually curated music channel”…

Had usually some issues with (metallic) screws or other minor pieces after 1-2 years. Will take a look at ceramic grinders in the future.

I’ve never found a salt grinder able to sustain the salt corrosion in the long run. Sooner or later, salt is aggregating and turning even the more resistant parts into rust. I was …

> I like to suspend a paper towel between the lid and the rest of the pot, absorbs excess oil and water. Interesting. I like to keep that excess oil/water, as that extra moisture o…

The floppy disk doesn’t mean a thing to younger generations, yet their icon representation is very common in a lot of UIs (save button). So this point doesn’t make sense to me in t…

I’d say it boils down to the following: - humans can be selfish, or not - humans are powering businesses and gouvernement bodies controlling them, so both can think long-term, glob…

Claire Bushey (Financial Times) going over the last 4 decades and how (de)regulations, financial ups&downs and public opinions impacted US airlines leading to the current air trave…

While there definitively _are_ similarities, this example (as far as I’m concerned) is a perfect illustration of a line that shouldn’t be crossed, and that Medium - as opposed to Y…

Your point (first sentence) is totally valid - thanks for sharing it! -, but you then make it polarizing by getting emotional (« bribe », « desperate »), hence the down-voting, I g…
