This is pretty much why, even though HN has better discussion quality than most websites, I’m leaving. I guess this isn’t super related to the article but from my experiences here …

I don't think I'm reaching. Read the comments below, about the fact that children learn this spine-bend posture early on, way before any sedentary lifestyle. I'm pretty sure 3-year…

I haven’t seen anyone posit a theory as to why Western people bend this way, so I’ll go: Extreme sex and body shame. We receive, from a young age, shame about exposing - even with …

No, Capitalism itself is rigged against good honest people.

The thing about trolling is, it’s like trying to have a conversation with a screaming baby in the room. You’re going to have to deal with the baby first, and that issue has nothing…

The writer of the article strikes me as not very intelligent. Successful, yes. But not smart. He can pretty much say the “DNA” is anything he wants, since it’s after the fact. Also…

Exactly. It doesn’t matter what the causes are. The fact is it’s harming people as a whole and talented women aren’t being treated fairly. All the biology in the world doesn’t expl…

I guess I’m confused on what the goal of all this is.If we wanted a computer that thinks “just like a person”, why don’t we just get a person? Is the advantage of the computer that…

That’s a pretty sad view on humanity isn’t it? When they get angry throw them in the garbage?

There are a lot of worthy causes that are great places to make “warlike” effort in. Therefore friendships happen when each individual chooses to go fight the war worth fighting. Yo…

I am sure there are tons of examples of cross-border nuisances. Probably since the beginning of borders. This is not a new issue.

I don't buy it at all. The article takes a very strangely sympathetic tone toward the whole situation. The noise has been narrowed down to one island that has "a few blasting opera…

Did you even read the article? The tweets are egregiously misleading and bring absolutely zero to facebook’s case for playing the victim.

See my comment above.

This detail exonerates no one. After successfully subverting our election, Russia has continued their effort toward the 2018 mid-terms. It’s working so why stop?

I agree with pretty much everything here and I'm interested in working on a project to solve at least one of these problems. I've been a meetup organizer for a while and I can also…

Ok, that sounds cool. Is there a proof of concept somewhere?

I just said that guy had an abnormally great situation compared to most retail jobs.

Honestly I’m surprised they are still around. Don’t get me wrong I love the stores, and it’s sad to lose nice things. I’m not happy about it. But don’t blame the new CEO, blame the…

Yup, I have. It’s usually hard, stressful, customers are assholes, work is part time and unpredictable hours, and pay is horrible. Have you?

Reading that Storytime guy’s tweet, I really wondered: Has this guy never taken a look at his situation and noticed something off? He works in a relaxing huge retail store reading …

Um, did anyone really not see this coming? Their whole deal was “we are going to merge humans and machines”, yet it had zero technical side on how to do that. “It has become a conf…

Well, every time you choose to do one thing, you also choose to not do a million other things. A lot of people are experiencing real harm to their mental state from habitual social…

Its not that hard to sign up for an account on airtable or trello or whatever service.

This happened to me too. The value of being on facebook is an illusion. In person relationships are vastly more rewarding, both emotionally and financially.
