What I took from the thread was: Bad news is reported more, if bad things happen, you need to act fast so it's good to pay close attention to bad news, that's what news organizatio…

This is a good argument against technocracy. I want expert's views to be taken into consideration when making decisions that affect other people. I don't want them telling people w…

Wishing something was open source and committing to build it are pretty far apart. There are examples everywhere where people have built open source alternatives for things. Unders…

I'd find a few people that have been at startups of a similar size and stage and talk to them about this. First, there is no single "startup" definition. Are you the third employee…

I think the point of the headline is to show how shockingly low the cost would be compared to the economic cost of covid. At the same time, it's a bit disingenuous. What does "vacc…

My car was stolen recently, and the day it happened I was told it's most probably already in a shipping container on the way to Haiti or something, and not to expect to get it back…

No I wasnt clear, I used the api at ipinfo.io to get the information about the ip address the parent had posted. That info pertains to the "problem" ip he is encountering, its not …

So yeah # curl ipinfo.io/34.66.115.47 { "ip": "34.66.115.47", "hostname": "47.115.66.34.bc.googleusercontent.com", "city": "Council Bluffs", "region": "Iowa", "country": "US", "loc…

HN is still a decent news aggregator as long as you turn on "showdead" and browse through new submissions a bit. Upvoted stories and comments are more often one-sided, but there is…

They do have a loss function, that is analogous to human desire. I think we are fundamentally missing something, that there is an irreconcilable difference between a mathematical e…

> as climate change, racial injustice, gun violence, and the negative effects of social media on self-worth, Dr. Murphy concluded that youth are facing multiple challenges, even be…

War deaths are typically young men in the prime of life. Covid deaths are mostly old people. Not to say they should be ignored, buy what people must have experienced seeing a gener…

I think there is a "social construct" aspect of beauty, typically a variation on very skinny women, maybe plus big breasts. Those are basically what as a young man (and probably wo…

Amazon textract, I think there is a free tier. I also heard that excel now has an image to table input capability but I've not tried it. You may need to screenshot the pdf first, I…

I'm 40, I feel like I've had a good, relatively free life, and I largely accept that is over and mostly feel bad for younger people who have to grow up in the fallout of the over r…

Our stuff isn't worth endangering their lives, but in many people's calculus, a paycheck is. That's one reason we have workplace safety laws, because a pure market solution would l…

> "the delivery service partner's dispatcher didn't follow the standard safety practice." Amazon, not uniquely, has a business model based around devolving blame and recourse in a …

I'm not sure if you're saying this is a good thing or bad thing. I've worked closely with police and military and the front line folks of these and similar "operational" department…

It could be interesting- the challenge would be to incentivize quality and participation. And at least IMO it's much more interesting to see different perspectives argued on a topi…

Part of the support YC companies get is the ability to periodically post ads on the HN front page. Part of the point of this forum is to promote YC companies and encourage people t…

Interesting take. So if i can restate it, automating people's agency - basically their decision making or judgement - creates a "disposable" class that there is (from management pe…

> blue collar or back office labor jobs like mailroom processors could work hard and rise to the top I'd guess a factor in ending this has been the rise or at least growth of an ad…
