I apologize. It is difficult to tell when to refute praise of evil (Saddam, NK) and when to avoid starting a political flamewar. I'll just disengage since it leads to unpleasant to…

What's with astonishing praise for evil just for the sake of sticking it to the status quo? Completely orthogonal to any US allies and their action, it is absolutely disingenius to…

Just shows how politics have divided us. No one seems to be thinking independently and that includes myself - I try but often the first reaction is otherwise. You can despise someo…

This is absolutely insane. This way you can never learn history, its glory and gore, and only thing you're doing is selfish woke-inspired cultural shift that you're trying to impos…

I hate these damn illustrations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_memphis https://eyeondesign.aiga.org/dont-worry-these-gangley-armed-... It's cliche. It is obnoxious. They …

I see your point, and that's a valid concern. I wonder how much damage public PR does to investors - who are supposed to be highly informed and not be pursued by public hype.

May be its just easier to pronounce Pfizer than BioNTech? Not everything needs to be distilled down to nationalistic undertones. I am getting sick of this kind of discussion permea…

Obviously, option A. Improves the morale instantly.

I have the complete opposite view: it’s such a naive thing to say we don’t want wars - ofcourse no one wants wars. Spending on defense and being prepared isn’t going to war, it’s p…

On the other side of the fence: Your own shitty framework owns your code, it locks you into this custom frankenstine thing that is a ball of mud that also smells bad. No one wants …

I wonder if the person you're replying to is correct in but in a different way. Since text files and excel sheets are "outdated", we don't stack them up against bloated webapp that…

I think it just takes a really powerful single AGI that can convince other humans, impersonate them, do things that is super-human level and we can't even conceive it or imagine it…

Yep, I have an emotional attachment to this thing. Such a magnificent piece of software. Everytime I need to edit something, it's right there for me. Launches instantly, can handle…

You're forgiven :), cheers!

I meant the pronunciation, not the spelling. Also, learning to forgive is a rare virtue these days. Entitlement and expection creates conflict. Learn to forgive others and you'll h…

This is an unreasonable expectation. People should try but if they don't, there is no malice here. There are many languages around the world and it is impossible to remember every …

I urge you all to go back and look at how people discussed things on HN, perhaps 8 years ago and see how civil, well behaved, critical, funny and deeply interesting HN discussions …

We need to show some restraint towards extremely bright fully saturated colors, especially for text. Observe contrast and don't just go around cranking up the saturation slider. It…

It’s like looking at the binary file and saying “that’s pretty simple” while ignoring the massive amount of machinery that allows us to run that file and use it (CPUs, Motherboards…

I think Gen X are the finest, most practical, the most insightful generation of engineers. Sure, its is a generalization - of course it is - but it is worth noting how exceptional …

I know this is supposed to be retro but I use NPR text mode always. No pics, just text, its glorious. https://text.npr.org/ Far easier to read since the length of the line is absol…
