This does seem like an unfortunate truth of life, I always want to loan friends money, but can't afford to if they keep not paying me back :/ I also want to put a bird feeder outsi…

I do this too, but it's important to make sure you're either fully adopting them to keep them inside and care for medical issues, or at least make sure they get neutered/spayed bef…

Do you know if this balances out to a lower death count than the heatwave would have, or just better for people in that area? Even thinking just about the US south I'd imagine heat…

I'd argue that the "rampant cynicism and nihilism" and more a result of the environment than algorithms manipulating people, the content is also made by other people, and it just s…

Ah thank you! Sorry didn't know about those, I do still think they should keep it off the homepage but if that's their policy then that's their prerogative haha

Agreed with this, and it also doesn't seem like this is the case but I'm generally a fan of charging B2B as high as possible to lower costs for regular consumers - other companies …

I'm guessing the answer is yes, but I see a lot of posts about jobs at YC companies that don't seem like they're getting enough attention to be on the homepage. I'm assuming they a…

I don't think this is literally true, but as an example an employee might not justify their wage in a single quarter but have a huge impact over time. In the short term firing them…

There's definitely photos, check your ad-block or maybe try on your phone

This is what I'd expect from companies - I don't see why Facebook would get money because they helped people connect to each other who ended up developing a cancer cure, but they d…

We've also seen this within the US - California generally makes the first move and then companies just follow that law because they know others might change and it's easier than do…

A lot of this can be provided or built up by better documentation in the codebase, or functional requirements that can also be created, reviewed, and then used for additional conte…

Not blind, and can't speak to how popular or useful they are, but there are products meant to be used like that [0]. I can't find the link but I've also seen this done with paintin…

Anecdotally, I have used SO much less in recent years, but I think a lot of what gets labelled as toxicity is just dedicated curation. I remember asking my first question - I got a…

I'm sure this sort of unofficial blacklisting is fairly common, but it does seem very opposed to the idea of a free market. It definitely doesn't seem like Anthropic was trying to …

> It’s nuts that personal computers aren’t personal anymore I think the core driver here is that most people don't want a "personal" computer, they want a device that's able to rel…

I know it's not quite the point of the article, but just to push back on the phrase > I should be able to run whatever code I want on hardware I own There's a few cases where this …

I'd hope that it's not a significant fraction that would get it backwards haha but just to clarify - homelessness/poverty will cause people (on average) to make worse decisions and…

OP does address why it's critical: > Not that we need to re-litigate that homelessness as a national security issue Without this it's easy to think that this was just a bad actor w…

> being hard with people that just say hello just doesn't make much sense to me anymore This is the problem I run into, I want to just reply to any "Hey" message with a link to thi…

On the other side, it is legal to pay donors where I am, but then it makes it feel like a waste to donate because you could be getting paid for it

Even worse - it's sold to the lowest bidder so they can sell it back to you for profit. This is a perfect example of why GDP isn't a good measure for how well a country is doing - …

Does anyone know the URL for the actual site? Seems weird to write about a website and not link to it, and searching for it just brings up more articles that don't link to the site…

To add: You might need to zoom out a bit to see the whole map, the hole was hidden for me initially
