My thoughts exactly. My overall takeaway from sleep research is that although there are some health risks with undersleeping, there are (possibly greater) health risks with oversleeping, plus the prevalence of sleep…
Could someone explain why they're hated? I don't know much about E3, but used them a few times without issue
Insofar as I can tell, thermostats have a 0% chance of feeling pain (or as close to 0 as is logically possible), so I see no need to afford them moral consideration. If we had evidence suggesting that AI who could…
Generally speaking, the highest birth rates aren't in the types of counties overrepresented on HN. Our best shot for reducing the global birth rate is improving education in developing nations (particularly women's…
It feels like profoundly missing the point to sell NFTs (with their associated heavy environmental costs) in the name of ecological preservation. Besides that, I still fail to see the use case. If I download an image of…
I think this is such a massive and fundamental restructuring of the US's historical way of doing things (and the popular conception of "how it should be done") that pushing for incremental change like livable minimum…
As in UBI? That's the only experiment I know of (or at least, politically feasible experiment) trying to decouple physical necessities and employment. I guess you bring up an interesting point here, that UBI would make…
So basically it's existing hardware/software doused in snake oil and sold at a $350 upcharge? A terrible product, if this review is accurate. But you have to at least admire their boldness in trying to blatantly…
For the sake of my own sanity, if nothing else, I am going to choose to believe that this isn't the majority opinion. I don't think Objectivism is quite that popular.
We've tried the no-minimum-wage experiment before.[0] A lack of minimum wage tends to lead to extremely exploitative wages for workers without skills in high demand. If you agree with the statement "anyone who works…
What are the best ways to feed advertisers incorrect data? If they already have valid data on who I am and what I do, what could make them overwrite this knowledge?
The most obvious issue would be that the 6,000 figure in the article was pre-pandemic, so it might be much higher now. Also, I don't know the economics of homelessness, but I feel like as supply of homeless shelters…
You lost me at the vegan part? I agree that this is a major source of error in a lot of studies like these, though.
How likely are these numbers to be accurate? This Swiss study of 431 adults gives a 26% incidence of "Long Covid" at 6-8 months. But another study that I'm more familiar with that tracked 4,182 people (mostly from the…
Yes, of the 177 million doses of vaccine given in the U.S., there have been ~1000 reports of heart issues. Amounts to ~0.000006% of people who receive the vaccine (in the U.S.) having inflammation of the heart after.…

I don't doubt that the vaccines come with risk. Every vaccine created to date has a small chance of side effects. But even as someone youngish, healthy, and with a strong immune system, any risk from the vaccine seems…
You're right, if everyone around you is vaccinated to the point of virtual herd immunity (afaik not currently true anywhere, but perhaps given more time / incentives / information that may change), you being the only…
Ignoring the higher risk of major long-term damage incurred by letting yourself get sick when you could've been vaccinated, I don't understand how this thought process accounts for anyone else. What if my main reason…
Possibly a very dumb question: what's the benefit of using this over Blender? I've been using Blender for all my 2d animation needs for a while now and I don't see a reason to switch to Expressive Suite. Is one of its…
I don't need a Twitter account to read people's tweets, and I contact my representatives through phone/mail. If they decide to spend time in a private platform not everyone will be able to message them on (or spend a…
Ulterior motives, anti national -> (personally) this seems like free speech. I don't have to like it to think it should be legal. Blatantly trying to interfere with elections -> if you mean by spreading opinions /…
So there's some popularity point where after people use a platform to talk enough times, the platform is no longer allowed to moderate the speech on it? Why? If I operate the world's biggest single-political-party…
I mean, I disagree with (some of) platforms' content removal, but I don't disagree with their legal right to do so. If Twitter becomes a propaganda machine deleting any tweet it disagrees with, I think that's shitty and…
I read the government's requirement of certain executive roles + the requirement of it being an Indian citizen as the government having undue control over a private (foreign) company's executive positions. I'm still not…
