Why use a throw away account? You could earn many points from the woke by proclaiming your religion loudly. Contrary to what you say, HN moderators kill these threads quite fast es…

The whole article shows what happens when there's no economic growth: people eat themselves. The woke stick is used very well by younglings to smack old people. These younglings wi…

Hm, doesn't look marginal to me. A heat pump is like 5X-10x more costly and requires quite specialist install. An air conditioning unit is pretty easy to install by normal technici…

Last I checked a heat pump is considerably more expensive than an air conditioner. And a regular air conditioner can probably only heat when the outside is not freezing. I would ac…

We recently had to do a Signal bot and for an elegant codebase it sure is lacking in terms of libraries. Not to mention the license being as aggressive as possible to prevent any c…

Spacemacs had some Neovim-like fame at some point. I don't see it promoted that much anymore.

I did not see this play out. Geek bonding did not happen as much and faded after school when everybody was getting enough geek stimulation at work. I've seen a great female gang fr…

Curious: jarring how? I saw an excellent educational video recently from a guy that was, how to put it, dressed almost like a hobo.

Well, it's not like Germany would want to sell more expensive cars or something?! :) Note that expensive entry level cars compete with the used cars. Plenty of them. Somehow those …

If it's any books that need a Reader's Digest, it's self help books. There's so much filler in Atomic Habits it's amazing. I think 10 pages would be too much for what was actually …

I'm sure you are right about what you said, but the whole tone and field of photography reminded me of a photograph we hired. He imagined himself as such a great artist that althou…

Atomic Habits is a book that should have been a long blog post. It's amazing how many self help book could be a pamphlet with 10 printed pages for more details.

Needs a (2018). I knew I read it and wondered if there's anything new here?

I see it the other way around. The "movement" does not exist without RMS. FSF itself is pretty woke nowadays so they have diluted and taken their mission in another direction. As f…

> The forcefull and quite frankly agressive way you denied ever having a problem with admiting mistakes makes me think that there might be something to this allegiation. This is so…

There is a logic here that's visible with salary talks in the EU: people only care about what they receive, not taxes; so all salary talk ignores taxes, all raises ignore taxes, al…

I too saw one of these. Very odd since I was expecting a note about a job.

Sigh. I understand now... I wonder if this could be tracked somehow. NFTs used as 'receipts' probably never get sold again.

Maybe I'm too naive, but what's NFT have to do with it? Couldn't they send any crypto instead? What does it accomplish? I never heard of this usecase, which makes me believe it's t…

> It makes you think how much stress and mind play a role. Stress and the mind can also end a pregnancy sometimes...

Epic Games was forced to pay Apple $6M because between August 2020 and October 2020, their direct payment method (on iOS alone) took in $12M. Of course, Apple felt entitled those $…

Suggestions welcome.

They have like 100 people in Prague, another 100 in Munich and then 1000 in Russia. Safe to say they are a Russian company with an EU "presence" for tax purposes. It's amazing how …
