I apologize for not being clear enough, and I think I misread your intentions. There are people on HN who believe the government could be abolished tomorrow and replaced with priva…

Good point, and we need to recognize that every so-called free market still relies on governments to enforce the rules (to enforce contracts, to issue currency, to protect against …

Natural monopolies, by definition, arise from natural market forces, and thus do not rely on government intervention or unfair business practices to suppress competition. (That doe…

RSS was never really alive to begin with.

This person had a terrible experience at work, and you telling them "don't vent" is condescending. Our industry has a problem with toxic work environments, and we need to talk abou…

Thanks!

I don't need to memorize anything. Information I use on a daily basis is easily recalled. Information I use infrequently can be looked up on my phone. Spaced repetition might help …

"people need to improve constantly" No they don't. Plenty of people happy to be as they are. When you're constantly running on this treadmill of self improvement, you'll probably g…

It's not so much that we don't want to learn from someone we dislike. It's that we don't want to scour the haystack of awful traits to find a needle we can compliment.

There's nothing wrong with making cool woven textiles. I suspect if someone had a problem with your comment, it's because it sounds like you're workshopping a startup idea. I get t…

I think we agree, and you should heed your own advice not to assume what someone else thinks. What I mean by mental models: Some producers rely on their favorite DAW's workflow. I'…

I'm sorry - why is Yang entitled to a place in the conversation? I wish his campaign got more attention too. But the lack of coverage he's getting seems related to the fact that he…

I would agree, re: rough edges, if we were talking about Ardour 2 or 3, which both missed some important features and weren't as stable as I'd like. But in the last few years, ardo…

I think the other replies are correct, and this is nothing to be alarmed about. But I don't think you should be downvoted just for asking. Nazis are using new dogwhistles all the t…

Disney is an entertainment world leader. There's no reason to think their approach would work well for a university. Disney's corporate culture encompasses more than what the compa…

We're talking about a suicide, so there is possibility for physical harm. (I'm not at all saying TikTok should be responsible for this person's suicide. Only that moderation of onl…

Buyers and Lenders are in fact, colossal fools. People build in floodplains all the time.

I'm a little unclear on the specifics too, even after reading the article. The article says "majority employee-owned company" So Cards Against Humanity still retains some ownership…

No but it would be great if they'd stop profiting off lies. Facebook claims to care about climate change: https://sustainability.fb.com/ But if they are taking money to help people…

The word 'capitalism' appears nowhere in the article. This article is about the effects of consolidation and monopsony in book publishing. I don't think your comment was written in…
