I agree the movie was underwhelming: the characters were underdeveloped and dialogue clunky. It didn't evoke many emotions, and is trying to do too much, which makes the plot bounce all over the place. I get that it's…
I think you overestimate the currently available storage technologies. Batteries are very limited in capacity and super expensive in large scale. Hydrogen or synthetic methane might work, but those are gases, if you…
I'm just a regular web dev outside the gaming industry, but crunch is a concept that's occasionally present in any project work; I'm sure many HN readers are familiar with it from their own work too. When you have a…
I'm interested in learning more about this! As a Finn I love Poland and have been there multiple times (most recently just two weeks ago). I don't know the language, but details like honorifics reveal interesting…
Why not?
Isn't Japanese rice pretty different to Costco rice? Genuine question.
At least some of the anti-nuclear movement back then was directed against old and unsafe nuclear plants, and for good reason. These activists achieved their goal, as modern plants are very safe. AFAICT, modern day…
What's wrong with maximizing profit anyway?
Change could go to negative though, so even though 0% is included in the chart, the true possible bottom value of the chart is -100%.
It's about the separation of powers. Law-making, adjudication, and execution should be separate branches so that no one branch gets too much power, as that will lead to dictatorship. When Trump and Musk are ignoring…
It depends on what you want to build. If you want to build impressive B2C software, this sounds like a recipe for disaster. I've worked with many backend engineers masquerading as full stack engineers who couldn't…
His style is very much brain rot-like though. It's way more "entertainment" (though it isn't very entertaining to me) than informational content.
Well, did those startups succeed? If not, I think it means the author was spot on in saying startups can't _afford_ that.
As a remote worker, 1:1s have been a great way for me to get to know my managers and make friends with them (well, friends who have the power to fire you, but anyhow). I've loved picking their brain on various topics,…
Are you seriously asking why? If you've paid any attention to the news in the past few weeks, you couldn't have missed the daily efforts by Trump and his cabinet to isolate the USA from its allies. In the past, European…
Imagine if Russia decided it wanted Alaska, and there'd be a stalemate meat grinder conflict in that area, and your European allies, who've been your closest supporters, were like "just give Putin what he wants bro. Who…
It's really hard to look away when the collective West is crumbling right in front of our eyes. USAs new regime pulling its support of Europe and making friends with Russia is the biggest existential crisis Europe has…
Who knows what the next American civil war would look like.
But would Russia's friendship be more useful than Europe's? I can see the logic behind strengthening ties with Russia to keep them from aligning with China, but Russia has proven itself an unreliable partner in the…
That's the thing. Trump's actions make no sense unless you view them through the lens that he's driving the agenda of Putin. Then again, even if a global nuclear war broke out, some of his loyalists would still be…
Because it's been a really good deal for the US. 1. European countries have (for the most part) not had an incentive to build military might, which means they won't be adversaries to the US. 2. This dependency on the US…
I think it's very short-sighted of Trump to severe ties to Europe. There's a truth to the claim that the US spends disproportionately more money on military than its Nato allies, but as the author said, maybe that's by…
EU is not a homogeneous single entity. Every state is driving their own agenda, and every state is divided into multiple parties often pulling in different directions. It slows down decision-making, in both good and…
Many people do care about it though, just see the market size of hair implants and Rogaine.
Many people balden in their 20s or 30s.
