I'm honestly not sure but I'm also not sure we have ever seen a nuclear power with its back against the wall to this degree have we? I'm not trying to make people worried it's just…

Is anyone at all worried about Russia retaliating directly against America for all this success? The U.S. media loves gloating about this kind of stuff but it seems gratuitous at b…

I had poor high school grades and was formally kicked out of my first community college for poor grades. Went into the work force, eventually went back to school at a different com…

Nice morale booster after the layoffs from the world's 2nd largest company in terms of market cap. Are any other big tech companies doing this?

I mean, presumably we have more than just the FBI to address nation states' hackers so I'm not sure what the comparison here is meant to convey. What percentage of our gigantic mil…

I know this is besides the point and maybe I'm just getting older, but the gameplay seems particularly disturbing in way that it didn't 10 years ago. I guess that's to be expected …

Will never choose to have my free will refashioned in the image of Meta if only because of statements like this.

Did I read this article wrong? Are hands a metaphor for something? A lot of people can't and/or eventually won't be able to use their hands. This was as true in 2011 as it is now.

I know next to nothing about structural engineering but was the plan always to let it crumble? Or was it architected in such a way that regular maintenance was always too costly? M…

100%. No particular horror stories just tons of time lost and frustrating dependency issues. Studying Swift now to go native.

Thanks! Maybe this will help fill the void in my life after The Expanse ends.

Reading this in contrast to the “anti-mimetic” article posted recently is great. It highlights a kind of price you can pay for a lack of acquiescence to established norms. Nothing …

Mimetic theory, while not entirely complete, seems to cover the common impulse behind dominating trends. Whether it accounts for the initial spark of “anti” I guess is another ques…

Sure, revel in some sense of freedom for being a “contrarian.” But recognize the naïveté in thinking this has any constructive meaning in our time.

Same! Commander nights at my local LGS have quickly become the highlights of my week. Scryfall has also become my most frequented website next to hn.

Recently parlayed all of my 1st edition Pokémon cards into Magic cards so I could play at local stores. Been a great way to meet new people in a safe way during the pandemic and to…

Magic: The Gathering. It doesn’t involve screens and it’s still largely reliant on players supporting local business. Multiple birds with one stone.

I suspect it was a mix of a couple things. Here’s how it went: 1. I exhausted myself to a fair degree when I first swam out in order to get past the point at which the waves were b…

As someone who recently almost drowned a couple weeks ago this article is spookily accurate. I was surprised how indifferent everyone on the shore was when a wave finally coughed m…

There are copious amounts of examples showing how Nature is attracted to symmetry(a form of beauty). Why wouldn't we use this is evidence as a heuristic?

I think its pretty safe to say lockdown created a perfect environment for these kind of relationships to blossom at much faster rate and on a much larger scale than normal. Even st…

The meta to this is that even without an employer you are doomed to be an "entrepreneur of the self." The employer/employee relationship has essentially been internalized to the ex…

I'm honestly pretty torn at this point which vaccine I should be going for. It seems like every week there is another article insinuating that there is some poorly understood, pote…

People won't stop consuming news and they will go where they need to to get it. With FB out of the running I think that means they will likely end up on some mixed diet like a foru…
