Fair point, I've edited the comment to clean it up.

Condescension? This article is all kinds of horrifying. ... "We are just going through the motions cuz we gotta. Kind of like plunging the toilet."? Maybe you should go read a book…

Complaining about your spouse to your friends is a wonderful way to damage your relationship; the unthinking assumption that you should be venting about your spouse is harmful and …

(edited for tone) In many perfectly healthy, normal marriages, there's a disparity (sometimes significant) in sexual interest/appetite between the spouses that has absolutely nothi…

Hey, if it works for you, it works for you. That said, I'm curious to hear what kinds of things you're referring to. Do you have some fictional examples? My wife and I each have ou…

I think the word "goal" is too strong, here, but it is a valid point. People change, and in a good marriage, the spouses should absolutely push each other to change in ways that ar…

I'm not sure where I came across this concept, but I've heard the use of a terminal described as entering into an interactive conversation with the computer. That is, where users o…

So what are the benefits over Tor?

How so? If it's under individual control, you'll just end up with sub-networks where people will agree to distribute that type of content. You cannot pair anonymity and security wi…

How is this different from Freenet or Tor?

Which is, of course, extremely misleading because income tax is hardly the only tax people pay...

and they're motivated by money/views/prestige instead of destabilization to fulfill geopolitical goals. Exactly the point. Look, there's this thing in western jurisprudence called …

The taxi drivers would get paid more due to having monopolies in most cities and fares would be outrageous. Uhh... Uber is, like, 5-6 years old in most locales, less in many. This …

I don't understand the question. It's not like a ketogenic diet results in a lack of blood glucose... which is good, because if it did, it would kill you. https://en.wikipedia.org/…

Your reading is simplistic. This is talking about blood glucose levels, which is influenced by many factors, including glucose production in the liver.

I don't know why so many people think this is the case and then hate on the product. Because that's how it's positioned in the market? Like, literally what they claim it's for, and…

I'm Canadian and drink Soylent regularly, maybe like 2-4 times per month. Random aside: Once every week or two is considered "regular" consumption to you? Isn't this product suppos…

This is almost certainly about false claims/marketing based on usage of regulated industry terms. Simply removing the offending labeling would bring them into compliance.

I find it telling that you chose the verb "using" over, say, "eating"... :)

But the bad thing about capitalism is that things that are hard (or impossible) to quantify are, at best, an afterthought. It's actually worse than that. Capitalism cannot on its o…

I really don't think mosquitoes fulfill any role in the ecosystem that can't be filled in by other species This is literally the exact kind of hubris that got us in this mess in th…

I can't help but laugh watching HN commenters, who probably have no kids of their own, take shots at your parenting style. You sound like you're crushing it. Keep it up, man. Perso…
