HN has always been a libertarian hell site with pockets of interesting people. The comments section has always had bad takes and good takes, it's always had jokes and memes. It has…

He's responsible for a gross oversight in safety that led to an injured child. There were obvious and simple safety precautions that were missed. This wasn't just, "whoops", this w…

Oh, that settles it. Robot cannot do things that are outside of the rules of chess. Kid should have known better than to open with the classic, "break my finger" opening from the r…

Yes, I'm going to make the outrageous claim here: children should not be expected to work next to industrial machinery with inadequate safeguards. I know this is controversial to s…

I disagree, if they are running the event, they are responsible for ensuring the safety of participants. You go skydiving and the chute fails in a totally predictable way, the comp…

Good.

The answer from the federation is unconscionable. They blamed the boy and then said they could not be held responsible. Fuck off, a kid made a reasonable kid movement. If the robot…

The article isn't about being banned on Twitter. It's about automated moderation (a side effect of which is, yes, a Twitter ban.)

Thailand has laws about how one can talk about the king, right? Maybe there's no safe harbor provisions for websites, and a site this size is too small to fight, but big enough to …

Ok, so you are saying current and increasing beef consumption rates are fine? I'm saying we should price the externalities into the cost of beef. What other solution is there?

No. We were nature, but we're progressing faster than natural processes can adapt.

What? I'm not sure what you are saying... We don't need to eat beef, both here and in Brazil. We choose to, in both places. We, locally, need to regulate harder and push harder glo…
