"Just because a parent wants their child to be able to play the piano with great skill doesn't mean they'll take to it" And yet the beast, vast majority of kids who were forced to …

Yes it does. Modern humans have so many more things to do than hunter gatherers or monkeys. Monkeys can't engage in cocaine fueled raves til 6am, work the night shift at a nuclear …

This figure is useless without context. What was this number for previous generations? I suspect it's always super high because a huge demographic for mac's is college students buy…

It's actually almost identical, if not worse.

Guaranteed 15%+ ROI. Really makes you wonder why more people aren't investing in solar

"The score, made up of audience ratings on a scale of 100, is calculated by taking the percentage of people who rated it at least 60 out of 100 (or 6 out 10) and multiplying it by …

"A very small minority of UX Researchers come to the correct conclusion, which is that most professional critics have to review every single movie" Could you provide your sources? …

Yeah, this was my impression as well. In Chicago you have police actively pulling people over all the time. In SF i have literally not seen a single person pulled over in the year …

Ah yes, "one time in Arkansas" is now applicable to the situation at large. You'd think the HN crowd would be intelligent enough to not do this. This is akin to saying "this websit…

Not a bad way to go

Really surprised that a journalist like you doesn't understand the need for brevity. 98% of this "how to work with me" is actually "i like talking about myself". There is like half…

When was the last time a sovereign, democratic, western nation invaded?

You realize there was also a massive coordinated effort by the media to defeat Nazi Germany, right? I know it's rare nowadays, but sometimes, gasp , large groups of people across o…

"The non mention of NATO being a pointless organization today but especially in a collapsed Russia world would be good to know." WHY ISNT MY RIDICULOUS OPINION BEING PRESENTED AS F…

"Somehow the war hasn't ended yet, despite of the zillions of Russian tanks that have been destroyed by now." Well if we're going to be pedantic and childish, then for your informa…

Samsung phones are laggy day one though, and the UI makes your eyes bleed from disgust.

This is by design. Paper straws are meant to distract your limited focus from things that actually matter.

Not him, but I miss when search results weren't clogged up with 80 copies of the same piece of shit from the same Chinese factory branded as 80 different items, and rampantly astro…

Most will have a medical prosecute to remove it

Why are people concerned about energy and material costs? Semiconductors are probably the highest margin manufactured goods on the planet, with materials and energy being the lowes…

I mean as a swiss person, your biggest industry (watches) exists almost entirely out of "it looks cool". Rich Militaries buy the F-35 because it's a cool toy, in the same way a ric…

This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. It makes sense for something that you personally own and maintain yourself i.e. a Cesna. Do you expect Air Force 1 pilots to do walk ar…
