I don’t think the seatbelt analogy holds up when you have people saying they’re working on the next Manhattan Project. Also no need for ad-hominem remarks referring to me as smug. …

You fear monger and tell everyone you’re the next Oppenheimer and maybe you eventually catch someone’s ear, whether it’s bullshit or not. Last I checked I can’t buy a tactical nuke…

We’re witnessing the globalization of television. When all is said and done there’s going to be a few players left and they’re all going to be American by the current looks of thin…

Wholeheartedly agreed. I used to work very closely with economists in asset management. What looks like efficiency on a spreadsheet can look very different on the ground.

I think the issue is horizontal vs. vertical monopolies. Apple do have a monopoly, but it's vertically integrated one. That's arguably their unique selling point; tightly integrate…

I've been told in the past that the Japanese government would never let a national icon such as Nintendo be acquired by a foreign firm. I personally am not qualified to answer that…

I walk my dog two hours a day. I just work around my meetings (sometimes can take the meeting whilst walking) and ensure I still work 5-8hrs on tasks. Is your gripe that you think …

I worked for this NHS trust about 15 years ago as my first job after university. One thing not mentioned here is how poorly run the administration is. Getting a process changed was…

Had the exact same experience. I actually got the role, but the feedback provided asked why I didn't build out something fully featured, despite them stressing to me the importance…

Ah that’s interesting! I was surprised when he told ABC that he had heard they were trying to resurface and that they were probably aware that the hull was failing due to the alarm…

Deep sea submersibles such as the Alvin.

I’d strongly urge you to watch an interview with him or one of the many documentaries he’s been a part of. Personally I think he knew the outcome earlier this week and waited to sp…

I know a lot of people that will only use HN for that post alone. Don’t know if you’ll get a true representation here.

I think that's a great idea and could be applied to a lot of industries with large offshore carbon footprints. Maybe tariffs or quota limits that are linked to carbon?

I think cattown might be referring to statements such as this: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/mar/17/openai-sa... Not sure if I'd say there's a conspiracy per se, but …

Doesn't Mark have over 50% of the votes? The only way he can be fired is if he votes himself out right?

Grew up in London and had a black colleague tell me a very similar story. This would have been about 2017 I think. I know a lot of people will tell you it's not possible, etc., but…

Yeah it was. I play OW with my friends to stay in touch now that I live in another country. Smurfs (high level players creating new accounts to dunk on low level players) are a rea…

To be fair to the post you're replying to China's demographic issues are more pronounced and likely to occur much sooner than most other large economies. The biggest issue being th…

The problem is the bloat. I have CC access via work, but still choose to go with Affinity because of the performance issues. I counted 20 processes running the last time I had PS i…

My wife has a misdemeanor from when she was young and can’t enter Canada for the same reason. As a Brit, I think it’s pretty petty as she was fine to move to the UK and work there.…

To be fair this war isn’t over yet and WW2 wasn’t exactly a walk in the park for any allied power.

I know what you mean, I moved here as a European and was surprised at how many things were not just fiction. Some days I feel like I’m living inside of a television.

If this works out maybe Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland should buy Shoney’s
