Coordination with the US means jobs and economic opportunity for both sides. Coordination with China means gunfights and border tension. It's pretty simple if you don't try to extr…

Physical controls can be as effective as technical.

They say this junt "jawn" is unique like anyone cares.

This sort of hyper-sensitivity to any negative effects of your actions is absolutely paralyzing, as you clearly demonstrate. It will keep you from enjoying anything. People believe…

Eastasia certainly wouldn't be the same without Eurasia and Oceana.

Vaccination doesn't 100% guarantee immunity, so there is always a % that isn't immune. Each disease requires a different % immunity to prevent a wide-spread outbreak, i.e. to provi…

Haha, this is brilliant. Exempt NBA Star X from all state income tax if they play for the team - that seems completely believable. Obviously NBA rules relate to tampering would com…

I love the spirit of this comment: Facebook employees as poor pawns to be pitied. I share the sentiment as a corporate family-oriented programmer from a flyover state that has been…

These comments read like a bunch of low-income retail shoppers defending Walmart because they provide something they otherwise couldn't get. I think these types of debates are bell…

He's definately chewbacca.

Other articles on hn mention correctly that right now in technology monopolies are the norm and anti-trust is dead (maybe a little dramatization there). The 30% cut from distributi…

https://www.willowpump.com/ These things seem to be fairly new. Not available afaik 4 years ago when my we needed one. I've heard good reviews of the style, but don't know anything…

For those of us that have had to use opioids for cancer treatment to the point of being addicted, then kicked the habit after treatment, all of the asinine demonization of opioids …

I agree, when I lived close to a grocer it was amazing and that is the absolute biggest thing I miss being a suburbanite. Beer runs were so much less complicated and my neighbors a…

My kids have had no trouble screwing up and I try to help them learn lessons. There are many other shows that teach that same lesson without a cartoon cat and mouse filleting each …

I ravenously consumed The Simpsons for most of my youth and loved it. I watch it now whenever I get the chance and love it, but life happened. I don't like my kids to watch it so t…

I think this is a valid critique of the title. Sorting means whatever it means in a specific context (dewey decimal system, post addresses, etc...). Most languages are context sens…

This is 100% true. A functioning and reasonably healthy person can exhibit or be affected by anything in the DSM5 - from hearing voices (God) to alcohol consumption (social lube) t…

Obviously GITer bombs

It's fast! I like the technical detail - index too limited. Searched Red Dead Redemption 2 - no game info Searched "bobs" - no bobs
