Thanks for the detailed reply, but I disagree with almost every point that you made. You took the extreme version of "no privacy" with the "America's most stupid" example, so allow…

That's not difficult to comprehend at all. It sounds like you're not comprehending my point.

Why is being nude normal in some places, but not others? That suggests that a stigma exists in one but not the other, and so participating in one or the other is implicitly support…

>And yes there is huge difference between swimming naked and in some swim shorts I didn't say "swim shorts", I said underwear, which tend to be tight fitting and not baggy. And the…

Which cultures are we talking about?

What does hiking with a pack have to do with swimming in water

Yes. I've probably spent more time tanning at nude beaches than most people.

The phrase "rug pull" is almost cartoonishly evil. It implies waiting until the victims are feeling nice and secure, and then you rip everything out from under them as quickly as p…

Sorry but I just don't buy it. There's no functional difference between swimming in undergarments or swimming nude, so if you choose nude, it's because you don't think it should be…

Your choice to swim nude in a public lake outweighing the choice to be more prudish is destigmatizing.

In the US, basically any public place (nude beaches included) is open for people to film. I believe there are some exceptions like public restrooms, where there exists a "reasonabl…

Assuming we're talking about the US, if you are in public, people absolutely are free to stare or film you.

You can enjoy the freedom of being nude on your own private property then. No need to add "in public" unless you are trying to a) destigmatize or b) be an exhibitionist

>But the damage was done. Afterwards, everyone was afraid of being filmed without consent again. Devil's advocate, but isn't the point of being nude in public that you are destigma…

I've worked at several startups, but my experience has been that I've been relatively siloed in my work. Maybe I wasn't taking advantage of the startup experience, but aside my lim…

I've had IRL conversations with almost fanatical climate change activists, and I believe they look at it this way: even if they're completely 100% wrong, nothing is lost by improvi…

This is a big deal! This adds a super power to communication, similar to how a photo is worth 1000 words. An inversion is worth 1000 diffusions!

You make a great point... we can't stop the decay, so the growth has to outpace it.

>once they figure out how to control potentially harmful generations Is it just me, or does anyone else think that this is an impossible and futile task? I don't have a solid grasp…

>and saw no reward for it That doesn't necessarily follow. Good will towards developers goes a long way. It helps build reputations and encourages referrals.

Which countries don't have university acceptance rates? I looked at Denmark and Sweden, they still exclude people. Someone mentioned in Germany if you don't get accepted, you go on…

Maybe create a default room for the HN crowd to join? I also had the same experience as OP... "nobody is here".

How could you even get into that business? It seems like something that only the university administration and the lenders can participate in.
