Does money not exist in Europe?

Cheap shot, but I'll take it. All 14 days of 2018? :)

How does this tie into post-scarcity?

This is amazing. I thought I was efficient at using my browser, but I clearly have ground to cover. Thank you!

The Cuban regime is despicable, but I don't see what they have to gain by targeting diplomats -- particularly US diplomats. I'm inclined to believe the theory that the damage is in…

I stand corrected!

It's probably in a Facebook iframe, which is a different story.

If you don't mind wearing a big fitness tracker, the Fitbit Blaze has been great in my experience. It's a bit old now, and the new bigger fitbits are the Surge and the Charge 2, bu…

What is the purpose of the parent comment? To score a point? To show us all the commenter is smarter than the vulgus? It passes the "gratuitous negativity" test to me. The same poi…

Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face-to-face conversation. Avoid gratuitous negativity. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Different strokes for different folks, I suppose. The biggest reason I watch AvE is for his hilarious delivery. You and I can disagree of course. I'm not finding issue with your op…

State laws and regulations still apply, no matter who's president. Also, the federal government has faced resistance from citizens and states and lost legal battles. The current po…

You can ask and claim whatever you want. That was never in question. What I do question is whether you're serious or just trying to bait a response. As for the moral premise you're…

What an ugly thought. I don't know where to begin addressing you. First, why must we help the oppressed when their local oppressors aren't concerned? Is this what you're asking? Yo…

The contempt for users. I know what I do when a user files a real bug: respond to them, acknowledge it's a problem, tell them when it's fixed. The fact that Intel does not do that …

The issue was being investigated by the OCaml community since 2017-01-06, with reports of malfunctions going at least as far back as Q2 2016. It was narrowed down to Skylake with h…

1. This is not mutilation. Skin is naturally shed and replaced. It is clear the author took care to protect his body. 2. Yes, they will probably be unique but it is not likely that…

That last bit of your comment was completely unnecessary.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach for measuring competence. Different companies and different teams have different dynamics. What makes sense for your team and the things you …
