It's interesting to me that minimal interaction with strangers is what you would consider polite. Welcome to Hacker News. There are a lot of people here would probably consider a p…

Nothing about SpaceX except marketing hype has to do with Mars, can we just stop it with the Mars talk? It belittles what SpaceX actually is about, which is amazing in its own righ…

Jeremy Clarkson really really doesn’t represent the world of “car enthusiasts” or journalists in general. He’s an entertainer, part of a latter day Three Stooges and tarring an ent…

It is bad, but I’ve seen one worse: metacritic. That site is hot garbage.

I didn’t just google “boop snoots;” I googled that, googled “furries” and went down the rabbit hole a bit. ...A decision I now heartily regret. The two major things I found is that…

GR was amazing, but it wasn’t well known and accepted until the first measurements confirmed it. Quantum Computing is still very much up in the air, but it’s also weird to bring it…
