Wiseacre··on DARPA developing new cognitive science tool to identify those at risk of suicide
The inability to hold down a job is a very common symptom of mental illness. In other words, it is no secret that your mental health hinges on whether or not you contribute to the economy.
Wiseacre··on Apple Event March 8, 2022
It appears the new one does not so that is very good news.
Wiseacre··on New iPhone SE
I had trouble finding it on the product page, even after scrolling through all the animations.
Wiseacre··on New iPhone SE
Yes, thank you.
Wiseacre··on New iPhone SE
If there any confirmation on if this new version is compatible with no sim card? One of the things I enjoy about the pixel budget phones is that it's simless but I was thinking of switching.
Wiseacre··on Apple and Major League Baseball to Offer “Friday Night Baseball”
Haha streaming is officially worse than cable. It was only a matter of time, really.
Wiseacre··on Apple Event March 8, 2022
Pixel #a series also are simless. The iPhone SE requires a sim card unfortunately.
Wiseacre··on UN Climate change is so severe we're running out of time to adapt
Again a non-answer. What exact steps should be taken and by whom?
Wiseacre··on In-place merge algorithm using up to O(n+m) swaps and no temp swap space
and an int overflow!
Wiseacre··on UN Climate change is so severe we're running out of time to adapt
As we have already seen this pandemic, you can't always guilt or shame people into action.
Wiseacre··on UN Climate change is so severe we're running out of time to adapt
So you're saying the western world needs to experience something drastic like third world poverty in order to actually change?
Wiseacre··on Ask HN: What concepts have you never truly understood?
That is rather fascinating. I wonder if there is some sort of treatment or inner ear procedure you could take to ground your spatial awareness.
Wiseacre··on UN Climate change is so severe we're running out of time to adapt
That is a very common screed that probably feels good but has no tangible effect.

Can you be more specific? Which lifestyles need to be reduced? What specific action are you demanding specific individuals take?

Wiseacre··on Ask HN: What concepts have you never truly understood?
Are you able to tell right from left without thinking?
Wiseacre··on Ask HN: What do Russians on HN think about this war?
Can you explain this cancellation of everything Russian? The Russian restaurant near me is being embraced by the local community. Most people here feel bad for the Ukrainian and Russian people and only have hatred for Putin. Was a throwaway necessary for this comment?
Wiseacre··on My lizard brain is no match for infinite scroll
Do you play them the moment you wake up in the morning?
Wiseacre··on US officials hold Venezuela meetings amid hunt for alternative oil supplies
I remember talks during the 90s about decreasing our dependence on foreign oil. If we did not make the transition to renewables decades ago then we kind of deserve the insane prices.
Wiseacre··on Russia Says It Has American Basketball Player in Custody
That does not really answer the question. Why was she still there? Russia invaded Ukraine.

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/...

"Do not travel to Russia due to the unprovoked and unjustified attack by Russian military forces in Ukraine, the potential for harassment against U.S. citizens by Russian government security officials, the Embassy’s limited ability to assist U.S. citizens in Russia, COVID-19 and related entry restrictions, terrorism, limited flights into and out of Russia, and the arbitrary enforcement of local law. U.S. citizens should depart Russia immediately."

Wait what was she doing in Russia in March of 2022?
Wiseacre··on Ask HN: What’s the real reason employers are ordering us to return to office?
For those this is true for there is another elephant in the room: Are companies that embrace remote work simply better at finding mature employees? Otherwise remote employers would clearly be getting outperformed by in-office ones if remote workers were actually less productive.
Wiseacre··on Tim Cook tells employees the return to offices will begin on April 11th
I recall hearing about the Slack channel Apple employees were using to push for long-term remote work.

I wonder if Apple will try to retain remaining employees with a cost of living wage increase.

Wiseacre··on Anti-racism betrays Asian students
Do you have a source for that? I've heard this same point made before about why Jewish people are so successful compared to other races.
Wiseacre··on Asian-Americans fight back against school discrimination
I'm not hearing any solutions.
Wiseacre··on Google mandates workers back to Silicon Valley, other offices from April 4
Then the problem will solve itself won't it? The in-person companies should clearly out-compete the remote ones.
Wiseacre··on Google mandates workers back to Silicon Valley, other offices from April 4
Implying companies that embrace remote work are less collaborative?
Wiseacre··on Google mandates workers back to Silicon Valley, other offices from April 4
What is an RIF?
Wiseacre··on Google mandates workers back to Silicon Valley, other offices from April 4
I imagine over time the permanent employees will be "managed out".
Wiseacre··on Asian-Americans fight back against school discrimination
Who is saying only one thing should be done? You can see free lunch programs and free daycare but you can also see that is not a panacea by itself.
Wiseacre··on Asian-Americans fight back against school discrimination
How many Einsteins are out there that never had the upbringing and resources he did?
Wiseacre··on Tell HN: Product Hunt is full of shill accounts, paid upvotes and spam
There is a lot of software out there. Were you intending on focusing on a specific domain?
