I'm not sure how to respond to that comment, which I find profoundly shocking and depressing. I've read some HN comments before which for some reason suggest a large-scale nuclear …

Nobel, inventor of dynamite, created the Nobel prizes to whitewash his name. It sure worked. "by his death, his business had established more than 90 armaments factories, despite h…

Why "still"? hehe I only started fairly recently. Typing * in the Firefox search bar searches bookmarks—what's not to like. URLs I use frequently I add to my start page.

On mac 12.5 + bash + macports, having trouble getting anything to work, like Ctrl-R, Esc-C etc, **TAB complete, even after trying to follow the suggestions linked here. The basic p…

Thank you!! Why on earth isn't that the default. It always seemed weird that with multiple bash windows open, the commands from most of them weren't added to the history.

> You have way too much time on your hands and seem determined to argue nonconstructively. Have a good one. Please refresh on the HN comment guidelines. And reconsider who has been…

I thought it was "professional", helpful, and a great comment. I didn't think yours was constructive, just unhelpfully treating a different formatting style as objectively worse, i…

That's not a real Plato quote. Quote Investigator couldn't find any appearance of it before 1967. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/12/13/riot/ p.s. What I'm sick and tired alread…

Check out this wonderful, unforgettable spanish movie on that theme, much better than any plot summary could suggest (and also I don't want to give spoilers) : The Uninvited Guest …

Geez, that is just chilling, horrifying.

Thank you so much for this comment. Until I read it, I was regretting having submitted this story, after seeing it marred by starkd's sickening 27-comment barrage of Russian propag…

> How Mr. Assange has become the poster boy of "leakers against the government" with his outrageous egotistical and dickish behavior is beyond me So, who do you think it should be …

> Stupid comment. Please don't talk anything like this in future on HN, thanks, regardless of what the other person says. You wrote similar things several other times on this page.…

What a sorry, shameful saga. I found this story linked to on rms' home page: > Our next rally for Julian Assange is Saturday, March 4 at 11:30 to 12:30pm. We will gather at Park St…

That, apart from the first line, seems like a pretty generic/off-topic "I don't get philosophy and it's stupid" rant that could equally well be pasted under any story involving phi…

> This is not entirely correct. Which part? I didn't say or mean to imply philosophers are not worth taking seriously—if that's what you meant—just that philosophers are not scient…

> Not entirely true If you want to communicate anything by that, please explain what you're referring to. I'm not going to read that entire page trying to guess. I can't at first g…

I didn't make my website for those reasons. I was inspired by Bill Beaty of amasci.com's philosophy of putting everything online[0]. But after a while I got sick of how things look…

As a kid I liked it, but I loved all his other (i.e. non-fiction) books much more, with a huge passion. I had a nice telescope and was obsessed with astronomy for years. The Sirens…

Philosophy isn't anywhere on the Mohs scale of sciences—it's not a science at all. Each philosopher has their own idea about what philosophy is, but I'm not aware of any who think …
