What happens when AI is a more effective parent/teacher than humans? It's never away or preoccupied with work, never loses its temper or fights with the other parent, never too tired to play or engage with questions,…
> In a decent sized building I bet you’re not the only lonely person. Why do self-admitted lonely people not jump at every chance to be social? I think therein lies the rub.
I am with you. I just want to share that succeedsocially.com has a lot of straightforward advice in a clean, ad-free format. In particular it talks about social issues more likely to afflict HN readers ("I hate small…
Men can develop deep friendships with each other as adults, it "just" takes enough mutual interest and flexibility to spend a lot of time together. That is much harder if your time is already spoken for my family, a…
That is the future for AGI under capitalism. (See "Her" 2013 movie.) A different path is for sufficiently advanced technology to help humans connect with each other and strengthen those connections, like organizing…
Same question about why the US's navy marines fought in the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan far from any beaches, rather than leaving the land warfare to the US army.
You're not the only one. Somehow games are worse than other forms of storytelling: netflix, tv, movies, reading. Maybe this always happens to the newest form of entertainment, maybe it's because unlike the other forms…
Metaphor is on-brand for advertisers. Maybe she wears the bag to go about her life unmolested by advertisers.

Good of you to offer concrete examples. I don't mean these as ad hominems since I don't know you, more as counter examples: > I've shared the results of my IQ tests (145-160+) I wonder if the part of the population with…

Prostitution has effects beyond the two parties exchanging money for sex by making a market for something we don't explicitly buy and sell, similar to human organs reclining on airline seats.…
> In the end unrestricted sexual freedom leads to lower birth rates as people have more choice. I thought birth rates tended to decline due to increased prosperity, not freer sex.
We should replace "adults" with "economic equals." It's harder (but not impossible) to define legally, but it would fix edge cases like Indecent Proposal and A Teacher.
Unless you're certain it's anonymous, there's incentive to not be fully open.
Compartmentalization is a valuable skill. There are always external factors that can temporarily decrease work performance, like the death of a loved one. Those random dips are evened out over the workforce. When large…
> How much would you enjoy discussing your potentially opposing political views with your boss? I trust him to be a good person, but once you pay that seed of doubt in someone's mind, things are never the same. Why do…
Imagine your coworker talks all the time about how they love guns, how many guns they have, and how good they are at shooting. Then they talk about how they have a concealed carry permit and how it's even legal in your…
Then why do we let them out of prison at all? It's certainly safer for us law abiding citizens if all the criminals are locked up forever. Even if there are a few false positives.
How about a snare or a net trap? They're non-lethal and restrain people until the authorities arrive. (Obviously I'm joking.)
Oh, I had it wrong then. The generic version sounds like "not seeing race"
Myself, but I can't be the first.
I've found myself using the gender neutral reactions instead of the gendered versions despite not identifying with them as much just so my colleagues don't have to choose between incrementing an emoji that doesn't…
A test I like to use to isolate my concerns is replacement. Replace "actual money" with "fake money" in this casino example. Is the streamer playing poker entertaining, or are people watching because of the high-stakes…
Isn't body positivity supposed to be celebrating bodies that aren't traditionally attractive?
