I think in a state with a single boomtown(Seattle) this goes doubly true. Productive and competent people with agency opt for tech or tech adjacent vs local/county/state government…

For such a tech and adv. manufacturing dependent state, WA certainly has pushed some conspicuous and myopic regulations since 2016. With the coming income tax creep, seems we’re ma…

Comments like these, aside from the brilliant technical answers and dives, really highlight the value of HN. What a lovely Sunday read I shall have—I’ve been getting distracted by …

I'm not arguing the point you're making. I'm saying that these discussions on these sorts of things on chat boards populated by privileged western nerds and conspicuous progressive…

Need to get this comment to the top.

>this was probably a combination of 3/75 Ranger Regiment and/or RRC, Delta/CAG, 24th STS, and probably 1 or more SEAL teams based on the sub movement. If you're going to flaunt ner…

Here's a trick I've learnt to get an authentic view of events like these, a nice way to parse through the keyboard warrior and ivory tower voices and noise is to hear what Venezuel…

Dr. Levin’s work is so fascinating. Glad to see his work referenced. If anyone wishes to learn more while idle or commuting, check out Lex Friedman’s podcast episode with him linke…

I hope someone much smarter than I answers this. I’ve been noticing an uptick platonic and neo-platonic discourse in the zeitgeist and am wondering if we’re converging on something…

I’m really curious about the amount of screen time and news/social media consumption of these groups. I assume it’s a couple standard deviations above what’s healthy.

It’s absolutely insightful for adults as well. Especially when paired with the other horsemen of the attention apocalypse “Dopamine Nation”, “Irresistible”, and “The Shallows”. Ret…

It can be both. The further away I get from social media and its singular narratives where it’s always “this ONE thing” form of causeality, the more I realize the mechanisms and ca…

I(1992) keep it because my younger family members(Gen Z>) refuse to use anything else to communicate.

If anyone wishes to use this study as a catalyst to shift one’s attitude, then I highly recommend dropping the dopaminergic doomloop apps like Reddit/Bluesky/X/tiktok/IG. Your life…

Vitamin D, red light therapy, insulin attenuating response of a walk, immunological benefit of allergen exposure, cognitive noise reduction and rest response of walks in forests. M…

Oh yeah, it’s both funny and understandable how we’ve swung from the mania of huel-esque techbro belief of nutrition to the current holistic eating “beef tallow” and no-seed oils m…

This adds nothing to the conversation but seeing the lively discussion here on hn about lifting, exercise, and studies is quite rewarding. Good to see technical folks passionate ab…

I bought the 256gb version with the intent on using it as a new and novel medium to rebuild my app building skills from conception to end after half a decade in the enterprise spac…

As an elder millennial, it really doesn’t seem like a last gasp. These academic attempts are perfect for conspicuous signalling at no cost and such signals usually get repeated by …

My anecdotal experience suggests this seems to be a Cali phenomenon. In Seattle, even with our insane number homeless, addicts, and the uptick in crime this year, we’ve had only a …

It’s really frustrating how simple and true this is yet difficult to brand and market correctly.

I’m curious whether there’s data showing the age breakdown of the perpetrators and victims in these cases and whether the rise of Hindu nationalism contributed to an increase.

This headline does a disservice to his statement. He addressed the need to tax wealth, including generational wealth, as well as incomes. The nature of the latter will be contentio…
