I don't think I understand what your point is? Are you implying that the US should have what? Stayed in Afghanistan forever? What solution would you have proposed there?

I think you're out of touch with what "almost everyone" considers an acceptable standard of living. I know plenty of people who have a single car or none at all, live in apartments…

I thought it was more 'social media for people that don't like normal social media'. It's not being advertised too on a social media platform and seeing things/interactions that yo…

Really wish more people had that mind set. Practicing medicine isn't easy, especially in the US when you have to battle the insane insurance industry.

Yea I don't particularly mind it, just an interesting thing about HN compared to many other forums.

That seems to be especially true on HN. Other forums there is some of that as well, but HN it seems nearly every single comment section is like 75% (random number) pointing out fau…

If you're doing it yourself, learn Ansible, you'll do it once and be set forever. You do not need "managed" database services. A managed database is no different from apt install p…

I haven’t really seen anyone make that assumption. I don’t think the article blindly assumes anything, they provided some pretty concrete examples of why a decentralized platform m…

There are still plenty of programmers that care about quality rather than stuff like vibe coding. Most programmers I know don't take vibe coding (defined as making an app with 100%…

I read the repo more as "go through this if you want to have a greater understanding of how things work on a lower level inside your computer". In other words, presumably it's not …

That makes sense, especially if your building web applications that are primarily "just" CRUD operations. If a lot of the API calls follow the same pattern and the application is j…

Yea I agree it seems like (for my own team anyways), one group channel would work a lot better than a per person channel for everyone. I think some people may feel more likely to p…

Your first point doesn't mean that universal health care in the US would not be expensive. It definitely would, not that the USG couldn't afford it, but it wouldn't be cheap. Agree…

I think it definitely has been like this for a long time now at least. The most obvious example that comes to mind is Facebook. They harvested millions of users data and used it fo…
