I only upvoted to read the comments. I don't really think that the state of american public opinion is due to KGB subversion. I think it's because of the normal culture rot happeni…

Where did you buy, how was your overall experience?

I don't remember who said it, but there's two things you can't really accept from a brother, their glory and their death. Not 100% relevant with the original post, but reading it r…

I tried many time to stop coffee and tea and for one year now I am sober. I am very happy with my decision. I feel much better and much less anxiety

The thin blue line

I don't understand why you are downvoted, because you are right. Conducting a successful career is also very hard. Let alone a successful marriage! Or getting fit, loosing weight. …

This iPhone analogy is full of crap. Apple delivered the fisrt iPhone with the software it needed to be, in itself, very usefull! The app developers came after, when a user base ha…

Humans do not wage wars against animals, they use(d) animals to win wars. Well what if in the future AI's use humans to wage war between them? That's a far more frightening future …

This is very impressive that someone would take the time to experiment an document so thoroughly this product. I am thankful because I find this very interesting and I always thoug…

The point that you dispute is the term addiction. You mention an "habit" for instance. My point is: video games can REALLY be an addiction even for older people.

I am self-employed (I actually run two small companies) and I sent some of my work days playing PUBG. Also I had less interaction with my kids and wife, and no other hobby really. …

As a 43 year old with two jobs and two kids, I found myself playing 500 hours of PlayerUnknown's Battleground in a few months. I had to uninstall the game. The addiction was very r…

I agree. This episode is called The Celtic Holocaust. Great alternate read of the Gallic Wars by Caesar.

There are a lot of interesting posts about ketamine on HN [0] so I am interested to find out if someone actually tried it and if it worked. [0] https://hn.algolia.com/?query=ketami…

In this world we live in, not being profitable does not equate to disappearing. Also Microsoft is basically competing with the entire industry on some level, so I do not see how th…

I had the Touch Bar 13" MacBook Pro and this actually is a f*cking piece of shit. The battery life is laughably low, the Mac itself is slow. The Touch Bar is a failure. Even the fo…

I never was a dog guy. Always had cats during childhood. I used to find dogs scary and stinky. But then, at 38, a few years ago, I suddenly needed a dog. What was it? The kids grow…

Well the same could be said about fiat. Fiat has no intrinsic value. However it's very useful.

Sunk cost fallacy

This has become an standard PR stunt. I agree with you that journalists should point that out. Also, why public figures could not apologize for real? Like "I am sorry, this was not…

Interesting though, thank you. So we have to invent a universal income targeted at stupid people. Like a "Please stay idle" type income :)

I think individualism is a respectable philosophy. Thank you for sharing this article. I think however that a reasonable person would also consider that social policies may have gr…

Yes good point. Now, in the US, some of the stupids seem to extract a lot of other/innocent people from the gene pool with them...

I feel this is one thing that differentiate the European political cultures and the US political culture. In Europe I feel we do better understand that people are stupid (in genera…

This articles reminded me the wonders that surround us while we go on living our boring human lives, so easily forgetting about the marvel of life and nature. Thanks for sharing th…
