> He'd fit in better at Kia Heh, my thought on opening the article and seeing the image was "huh, without the badge in the photo, if forced to guess the make, I'd have gone with Kia."
Why should Google be responsible for content they accept money to promote on their website, and then elect to disguise as "natural" search results specifically in order to trick you into clicking them without realizing…
The thing about hosting was the same conclusion I drew when I looked into this. I’ve stood up a lot of daemons in my time, and Matrix’s difficulty level is so far outside the norm that… it’s got to be on purpose, right?…
Console only fallout game? Fake. Can’t be real. [edit] but really, I was like “man, I feel like there’s another one…” but figured I must have just been thinking of the never-made sequel that got as far as some planning…
Yeah, it’s on the list for when I can put 20+ hours a week into video games again without constant interruptions (kids, man, hahaha, I appreciate pick-up-and-put-down sorts of games so much more than I used to)
Similar effect with the Fallout series. A whole lot of the fanbase has never played any of the three 2D games (Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics). The series started, for them, with Fallout 3. I’m kinda that way with…
My experience has been that a hell of a lot of “automation” doesn’t automate much, but is used as an excuse to make people do work that didn’t used to be their job.
What you want is done all the time. What happens a lot: 1) Someone (a researcher, usually) comes in and tries some radical new program in some school. 2) (sometimes) It works! It works great, in fact. 3) This new system…
My "fairly poor writer of fiction" looks that way for a reason.
I can 100% guarantee you that most Americans have no clue whatsoever how hard it is to "come in legally". People from cosmopolitan well-educated world traveler tech-connected circles are common on HN, but are extreme…
> everyday business and physics is monadic in function. So? > And if-then statements are functorial. So? All the "this is hard" stuff around these ideas seems to focus on managing to explain what these things are but I…
Strong second here. I’ve read lots and lots of all three. Clarke wrote good stories. Asimov had some good ideas but was a fairly poor writer of fiction (his characters and dialog, in particular, are rarely better than…

I played a bunch of that too, was that a cited source for it? Don’t remember. I do recall that the very-early-90s geopolitics simulation game Shadow President contained large portions of the fact book in its in-game…
Parents reading books to kids, students reading books for classes, and people who end up reading at least one book a year for work (many teachers or professors, for instance) set a fairly-high lower bound on this. Much…
A very high proportion of seats in any given election are, for "natural" or gerrymandering reasons, regarded as "safe seats" for their incumbent or (if the incumbent isn't running) party. These can all be ignored,…
My personal litmus test for whether we've entered any kind of "there's still a little hope for the Republic" territory is whether anyone with real power is talking about eliminating the permanent position of Supreme…
This is a predictable play. This had a highish likelihood of happening the moment they announced the massive, rapid funding and personnel expansion. Now that "abolish ICE" (ICE being their critically-important…
