I originally shared this here [a couple of years ago]( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21612106 ) - since then I've upstreamed a bunch of improvements that I've made to variou…

Farm animals are also exempted from most animal cruelty laws via the magic words "standard agricultural practice".

It likely will be with language models becoming ubiquitous.

I can't speak to the actual problems from chicken bones, but scale may be part of the explanation. We are producing something like 50 billion chickens for slaughter every year. I d…

It seems like suggesting there is _no such threshold_ is even more in need of citation. Boundlessness means that X could be all domesticated animals, and Y=1 human. Surely that see…

Yeah.. the hype I think makes it harder to appreciate the main use case, which essentially was already covered by the first cryptocoin, and is still where it sees the most real-wor…

Videos are short, can be watched many times by 1 viewer, and may be viewed by all the folks that don't speak English as a first language, but speak it a second or third language, o…

Prediction markets have a built-in incentive for accuracy that's absent from broadcast news. It's useful to have an aggregate answer to things like "how likely is Russia to invade …

That's a pretty high bar Benz made the first car in 1886, which in your analogy means today is 1900. I will be curious to see how crypto holds up in recession or under monetary cri…

Glad it suits you! Let me know if you run into issues :)

Thanks :)

Area-wise, most US cities are much bigger than European ones, but that's actually part of the problem. Huge amounts of our housing stock is kind of far from everything else, making…

I think you might be creating the value judgement on middle-class? I don't read the label as condescending.

> The current system is far from perfect, but it does favor upstarts and entrepreneurs' ability to build business rather than incumbents. I think exactly the opposite is true. Pate…

Calling dibs is still problematic, even with proper documentation... independent inventors often come up with same thing at a later date, because it's obvious, but they are still p…

Those contracts are sometimes negotiated in private mediated sessions. It's not all open air by default.

https://tvtropes.org/ has a ton of this kind of thing - not sure if that scratches your itch!

I think they mean American Indians aka native Americans.

You can be satisfied or disappointed with a result in the supreme court without making the court your moral authority. It can be both legal and wrong. No need for a "double standar…

Agile Learning Centers and Liberated Learners are inspiring networks of small schools in this vein (and both less dogmatic than Sudbury - in a good way, IMO).

I looped back and setup a docker-compose.prod file that utilizes host networking (and addresses some of the other issues raised in these comments). Thanks for the heads up :)

I have some sketch notes in the readme outlining production strategy that doesn't depend on using containerized nginx (or postgres), but I should make that more clear.
