Just accept that you can be laid off and manage your life and finances accordingly. I know people who got laid off recently, with like 6 months severance. They're planning vacations, getting around to the projects…

The problem is we've all seen this pattern before. Push the disabled by default, opt-in only version. Face only small backlash because it's opt-in. Then in a later update, switch it to on by default but with an easy…
OP said "65% of men are obese or overweight" but your source is only obese. CDC says 73.6% of adults are overweight or obese (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/obesity-overweight.htm)
There is much about China that I don't understand, but I'm curious about the ownership in the "ghost cities". Given the ability of the CCP to significantly control major industries and movement of people, is it not…
Can you step outside of your own point of view to realize this is all kinda silly? When you walk down the street, people might look at you and imagine you in ways you don't like. They might whisper about you to their…

Curious how different our experiences of "culture" can be. I'm an American in my 40s. I've never seen "glorification of scams" in any mainstream culture and can't really think of any subculture where that would be the…
"People are classified as unemployed if they do not have a job, have actively looked for work in the prior 4 weeks, and are currently available for work" from https://www.bls.gov/cps/cps_htgm.htm#unemployed So if…
One could obviously exit the limbo by just ending up lower status. Imagine an actor or director who's very successful and high status. Then their subsequent work is less well received. They might have a period of…
This is more like, a gross oversimplification of the first chapter of a freshman intro to economics. This is to economics what "assume the cow is a perfect sphere moving on a frictionless surface without wind…
Please don't troll on HN. Theft is taking something away from someone. Copying by definition doesn't. Pretending it's equivalent to, or even similar to, "theft" is ridiculous.
"Woke" started as a term used by young American social progressives as a reference to becoming aware of things which they had previously been unaware. Sort of a "Neo waking up from being in the Matrix" type of waking…

Norway is projected to produce $122,421,000,000 worth of oil next year, against a population of only 5 million people. That's about $24,400 in annual oil revenue per citizen. Their sovereign wealth fund (profits from…
Do you think students should need a specific license to read a book? Do visitors to an art gallery need a specific license to look at paintings? Do audiences need specific licenses to watch a play? Those people will be…
"Violating copyright" is a completely imaginary problem. We have a somewhat arbitrary set of laws, rules, guidelines and social norms about using existing ideas. American law for instance has limits on the duration of…
For the completely unethical, perhaps. Delivering food is a legitimate, respectable and productive job. Fraudulently deceiving lonely men to coerce them into paying for more fraudulent interactions, less so. I wonder…
If you're genuinely curious, I'd highly recommend the book "The Road to Wigan Pier" to get an understanding of working class life was like in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

It's absolutely insane that the realtor cartel has managed to maintain 6% fees in light of the internet and skyrocketing house prices. I'll vote for any politician who takes steps to breakup the cartel and empower the…
