Wow, another New York Times article that's against West Coast technology companies. At this point, I don't think the NY Times needs writers, an LLM can easily cover their mandate t…

These posts are tiresome. They all boil down to "my view should be the middle". You could just as well claim the Democrats are far left and the republicans center left.

> The main purpose of "problems", and especially of homework, was a show of social submission, designed to persuade the teachers to reveal the next secret. Of all the weird misunde…

Oh come on, no there isn't. Have you seen what life in Tokyo looks like for the average person today? The size of apartments, the crowds on subways, etc. People's quality of life w…

Your experience doesn't match mine for US. Either SF is unique (almost certainly true) or the specialists they're referencing are extremely in demand for specific conditions. With …

Spanking a child and beating a child are two completely unrelated things. It's my understanding that spanking isn't the optimal way to discipline children and still shouldn't be do…

No one should be shocked that a gimmicky reality TV show that had 600lb contestants with lifelong eating disorders shed weight incredibly rapidly while living in a house for a mont…

Dang, how does this title not qualify as flame bait?

I once read a comment from an expert in that field who said that it was essentially impossible to prevent contamination, and that they had to constantly test and then shut down and…

Doesn't the service provider (AT&T or whoever) have a copy of the messages they could subpoena? It seems shocking to me that deleting the messages off the phones makes them inacces…

Which is why a million Americans died and tens of millions have long term neurological, lung or other organ damage from the disease.

You're overthinking this. Yes, you could buy a second AC and do complex wiring and control trickery to hack the system... Or you could just not sign up for the voluntary system and…

Frustrating to see NPR going to clickbait and such silly dramatic reporting. I'll save you a click - a female representative proposed an update to the dress code, to bring the wome…

Your example is kind of unintentionally hilarious, because "hard work works" is in fact an incredibly controversial stance, and one that has caused people to lose jobs, "get cancel…

Texas has been doing far worse things. Allowing fracked gas power plants to operate without proper winterizing so they fail in the cold, unfairly shifting costs off of the fossil f…

This system also obliterates the middle class and penalizes saving money while rewarding irresponsible behavior. It essentially makes the system be "tell us how much money you have…

You're confusing "teaching assistants" with teaching a class. A typical setup would be to have a professor give 3 lectures a week, along with open office hours, and design the curr…

My current employer has stock options and annual bonus for all employees. A previous employer did too. There used to be fairly common stories of people who worked as receptionists …

I don't get what the issue is here. Option A- you task some employees with buying office furniture and equipment and then waste everyone's time by having some extra meetings and em…

This reminds me of the early days of every new technology when the media predicted doom and gloom. Every time an electric vehicle caught fire it was national news, and then someone…

Vietnam isn't free by any measure of freedom. Even in the context of a college classroom students can't say anything that goes against the government.

Obviously. Why else would people on hacker news advocate for all the socialist economic policies that humanity just spent the entire 20th century proving don't work? Sadly history …

Hilarious framing, kind of like banks pushing their failures onto unsuspecting victims by calling it "identify fraud" when they give money to a scammer. Your friends aren't "leechi…

It's not like the chemicals causing dropping sperm count are doing only that. We have dropping testosterone levels, outrageous obesity levels, anxiety, depression, autism, other ge…

Every choice and action a human makes is on some spectrum of consent. At one extreme is a literal "gun to their head" moment where it's obvious there was no real choice and corresp…
