You just sprayed links all over, expecting me to fish through that data? From what I can tell, your data shows mediocre growth that has barely kept pace with inflation. Half the li…

HN is such a cesspool of ignorant fucks like yourself, get fucked and die.

No, I will not be civil with someone saying, literally, that minorities are less genetically able to do certain jobs. Fuck off.

Just because you didn't need uplifting doesn't mean others don't need it. Your "bootstraps" argument is such BS.

Are you fucking saying that Darwinian evolution is the cause of underrepresented minorities in white collar jobs? What fucking planet are you from?

>diversity of scientific, not cultural views Your cultural views can affect your scientific work. The imagination of children in America vs. China is different, people have differe…

I normally use "git push --fo " or "git push --fo " in zsh, but after seeing the switch option "--force-with-lease" pop up each time I've memorized it now. I let my CLI do the work…

Several sites do that now, it's annoying and you sometimes cannot even get back to the previous article. I like to read the text on my screen near the top of my browser, so I scrol…

I don't get the "extra letters" argument as a Computer Scientist. Most of my time is spent figuring out what I'm going to do before I type anything, whether that's research, starin…

I use `--force-with-lease` instead of `--force` or `-f` because it ensures that if someone happened to push before me it would fail and I could manage that manually. Even on branch…

It's on mobile. I haven't tested it much, but I'm really not interested in doing so. I only keep Google Maps because my wife and I like to share locations, which I am trying to do …

Yep, Google Maps still shows my home and work locations on the Commute tab from before I disabled almost everything in my Google account, but won't let me change the work address s…

It's a bigoted statement, but holds no power over white people, and so is not racist. Racism is about the systematic oppression of certain groups. White people are not systematical…

Well that's terrifying, I am glad they have stopped that sort of thing!

How else do you ship it? Radioactive materials count as pretty much anything irradiated, so for a Navy nuclear plant (something they transport on trains that is radioactive) that's…

Looking sketchy isn't great when you're trying to make a security product, FYI. Maybe get your ducks in a row first, then announce.

I don't care about the elites, I care about people who are not well known who get exposed due to this technology, or who's endangered because their stalker who happened on their nu…

My big question with face rec is this: what happens when the tech is so good that people can find out the identity of someone whose "special" photos were stolen or shared on the in…

I assure you, bothering someone like this when they are trying to get through their day is not hilarious to that person. Not only did your friend act like an ass and part illegally…

Yes, humiliating other people is hilarious...

Are we just making China the Boogeyman now on hacker news? I'm not trying to be a whataboutist, but literally everything China is doing had been done for decades by everyone else c…

My kids will have their mother's name as their last name, so what do they do, use their father's, uh, bachelor name?

So everyone start putting the content of that repo (I am sure someone forked it) in every one of your repos, especially ones other people use, and see how GitHub reacts.
