I think burnout is about reducing the perceived world to a shallow mental model, getting locked in it voluntarily and getting depressed as a result. But it's a 3 wall prison cell: …

"A magical thing happens when you help someone. You forget about yourself." - that's a remarkable statement, actually.

But imagine the new frontiers it opens! Countries would exchange and trade massive amounts of user data like oil. Want to participate in air travel? Better to sign treaties to buy …

Interesting how it's turned around. A few weeks ago one of my HN accounts was banned for a neutral note that the lab hypothesis shouldn't be disregarded. Now it's openly talked abo…

Ubuntu has followed the same path of first building their user base on trust and quality and then monetizing it hard with various shady schemes. Even coffee shops do it. First they…

Sounds like Americans should live in Europe then.

Companies that cut half of the pay are unlikely to offer corporate housing or free food. Even remote interns need to live somewhere and rent isn't cheap. On the other hand, interns…

After taxes, rent, bills and food that's 3000. And 4800 turns into 500. That's like a coffee budget.

But it's not deadly enough to reverse the climate change. Humans are smart animals: they will adopt to the virus real quick, restart the dirty economy machine, get their previous l…

That wouldn't justify surveillance.

I'm sorry to be dense, but that's a naive view, that an otherwise sleazy sociopath can be forced to behave by public opinion. Good people give food to homeless because they see val…

Because there are multiple paths and the virus really spreads like a wave frontier in a 10 dimensional space of human to human contacts graph. The virus also spreads in a non unifo…

Because "in the world of souls there are two poles and between the two, wastes time and disappears into nothingness the majority of the humanity".

They are doing well. The symptoms are the same as mild flu or allergy, and the effects are nearly non existent except in already old and sick. If half of infected got severe compli…

The source is a very simple observation that if every 5th New Yorker has antibodies, half of those with symptoms would be noticeable.

TBH, the real solution will be reopening the economy with masks on and social distancing. Vaccine is a pipe dream and by the time it might be created, everyone will have been infec…

Yes, they all have no value. Let's assume someone got bankrupted by a hospital over a severe coronavirus case. This means that someone has been wandering around for weeks infecting…

With 95% infected not showing any symptoms, contact tracing is pointless, as it will be about tracing contacts of those few severely ill. With this in mind, contact tracing is real…

TBH, it's nothing to do with those lazy petitions. This happened because the CA's AG chose to be a good guy, leveraged his power and put a lot of effort into fighting the bad guys.…

Does anybody need those 5.3 GHz at 300 watts? I believe the next big thing is "massively parallel distributed processing": thousands or maybe even millions of tiny processing units…

They are right, though. It's not about the app, it's about normalizing global survelliance: once the populace is convinced enough, it'll be sealed by laws and enforcement. The whol…

I have a controversial hypothesis about what creates freedom in nations: it's the self sacrifice of people willing to make others free. In the US it was the independence and civil …

I'd rather let people follow the social distancing policy and stop this mental gymnastics about the necessity of tracking. P.S. I'm in the US, so I can actually freely move now.

Are those pics in the readme the actual output? If so, this is freaking astonishing cinematic-level quality.

Bezos is willing to sacrifice health of his slaves, I mean warehouse workers. It's a tough decision he had to make, but given the potential profits at stake, he decided it was wort…
