Just want to quickly point out how much of a lifesaver delivery services are for many disabled folks. As someone who is disabled I find it very strange how critical abled people ar…

Onions are high in sulfur, which is quite reactive with metals. Probably related to how it works.

what a great find, cheers!

Please go to therapy and learn about healthy boundaries. You have a savior complex that hurts the people you supposedly want to help.

I'm not telling anyone to do anything. If people want to get vaccinated that's fine by me. I do not believe that I'm "protecting" people, and I certainly would not waste my time tr…

I was nearly killed by a series of vaccine injuries. It was excruciating and slow. I'm alive today because I'm a biochemist and was able to pursue experimental treatment. I'm going…

There is a daily, constant conversation about the benefits of vaccines. I don't need to bring that up. It is implied. There are people whose lives have been destroyed by vaccines. …

I'm curious, do you still not believe that vaccine injury is real? The FDA and CDC have now repeatedly acknowledged it's existence with the COVID-19 vaccines. If you do believe tha…

Uber hasn't raised their base rates in my city for years now. I drive for Uber, and it's more profitable than ever. This is because of surge pricing and higher volume. Even when th…

Github will host all forks. I just wish there was a home for forked Wikipedia articles. The analogy isn't perfect. Whatever.

The longest time horizon discussed in the paper is 100 ticks, or trades. Likely less than a few minutes.

I wish Wikipedia allowed unlimited forks of each topic. Imagine if a FOSS software project somehow banned all forks and forced all developers to compromise on every little thing.

No, I think history and present times makes it clear that this is an inherent property of democracy. In democracy without any limitations (like the US constitution), a little over …

Democracies vote to oppress minorities all the time. Democracy is not the solution.

I think you're living in a media bubble. There are a plenty of rebuttals to the Tether criticism, but on sites like Hacker News no one bothers anymore. It's not worth dealing with …

I don't think you can change human behavior. But you can accept it and design systems with that in mind. So I guess I do like theory. But I think having conversations about how to …

We can talk about how things should and shouldn't be as long as we want, but that will not change human behavior. When you're disabled you must come to terms with this reality and …

This "who should be saved" question is so silly to me. In reality, the person that gets saved is always the person that the savers want to save. From situation to situation there a…

In addition to the options other commenters have mentioned, it is possible to fully control a computer with dictation, although it can be very arduous. The term quadriplegia does n…

I've never met a HN commenter who is critical of gig work who is actually a gig worker, like myself. Do you exist? Or is it always a bunch of privileged people blathering on about …

Uber driver here. > You're not setting your own rates. You can't choose which rides you take. You can't follow your own rules. As of a few years ago you can choose which rides you …

Unfortunately the financial systems of governments are getting destroyed and we are powerless to stop it. Cryptocurrencies are not destroying government run financial systems. They…

Just want to quickly say that I'm disabled and I work in the Bitcoin/crypto industry, largely because every other industry has gate-keepers that would never hire someone like me. N…
