The name is actually "Gorgon"? So a gas company named a project after a legendary monster. I'm not sure how to feel about this. CO2 sequestration sounds good in theory. But...

I don't care that Apple isn't violating laws sharing this information with carriers. For a company that likes to portray itself as respecting customer privacy, this is a failure. S…

Whereas I have an uncle, a retired CEO, with perhaps the same amount of money. The man is a monster. However, per my cousin, I can't say for sure just when that nature revealed its…

I remember meeting (then) Tobi at an inspiring "punk" Ruby event in 2007 in Toronto, RubyFringe, and thinking he seemed like a mildly spoken decent guy. How times have changed.

Perhaps. In the US, these two ideas seem conflated enough that they are often essentially conveyed as a single message: if you can't work, you're dragging everyone else down. That …

We spend that much because of inefficiencies in the system designed to maintain the wealth of the wealthy as well as legacy business models. It's propped up by lobbyists for same. …

At 53, and someone whose life significantly imploded three years ago (two years before an autism and autistic burnout diagnosis), I'm so fucking grateful that this made it to HN. I…

Or replace them with Folger's Crystals? It'd be cheaper than AI.

Also look at Marc Benioff who checks stock market has seesawed Salesforce into a low it hasn't seen in 4 years. The man seems to manage to repeatedly pull failure from the jaws of …

Yep. I must've been in a weird headspace when I wrote that. You are correct, sir.

Doesn't need to be said but "Thank you for being the top comment." Shocking nobody, indeed.

The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. I will tar and feather the "right" constantly. The "left", here, is somewhat better. As you say, though, neoliberalism has i…

Your perspective is considering only temperature by geography. Please also consider infectious disease and famine throughout the world. You can hide from the temperature. You will …

For us Imperialists, 10C is 50F. We would, quite literally, be cooked. That'd leave us with summers around 140-150F.

You essentially described the Republican and Libertarian perspectives in the US. The Republicans seem to see it as immoral to potentially give a few people support they don't need …

Me trying to fix our living room couch. Yeah. I fell ya, man.

I was going to say: develop practical widely deployed fusion energy far far faster. Not sure about all of your choices in particular but "100 Manhattan projects" caps it all nicely…

Wish I had that microbe. Ozempic made me suicidal. Still here though. Zepbound doesn't that that effect. Maybe the smaller dosage of the GLP-1.

7 hours old and not flagged? Amazing.

Reasonable???

> If your team can generate code faster than it can review it, you have a bottleneck. The constraint is human judgment, not output. Given almost any group of coders, who are profic…

Argentina, for example. Coworkers there told me about this. Madness.

Lost me at "simps" and "cucks". Ad hominem? Don't care. I have standards.

Waiting for this to get flagged because, once again, the US sucks. A lot of us know why the US is behind in wind and solar. It's because of a five letter word that starts with "T".…
