Exactly, and nobody in this thread ever claimed otherwise.

Which might very well be true, at least in part. I still don't see how this relates to my or your comments. Hard work and a disregard for human lifes can go hand in hand. Just because someone works hard for a cause that doesn't make that cause right; and acknowledging the hard work isn't the same as condoning the terrible things achieved through that work.

The parent never said that the development and successful use of the tanks made the human losses okay, only that the Soviet victory wasn't solely due to overwhelming numbers.

I dunno, I did a fair bit of partying in Silicon Valley and I think the the fact that, however ill-advised and harmful, this didn't exterminate millions of people tends to detract from whatever 'this' is supposed to be quite a bit.

Again, the parent only explained that partying and hard work aren't mutually exclusive, not that this somehow makes Stalin's actions okay.

To clarify: I was just explaining what the above commenter meant, not stating my own opinion on the matter.

I think they meant requiring industry-leading companies to apply freedom of speech on their platforms. That is, no censoring of comments, videos, reviews, etc. as long as they don't violate the law.

Oh yeah, there was something else to that launch too. Thanks for reminding me of that! I'll have to rewatch it at some point.

Haha, no worries, I was aware of that while watching. What impressed me was the footage from the ground based (or helicopter?) camera that showed them landing side by side.

Edit: I didn't know that three boosters were supposed to land. That probably would've blown my mind if it had succeeded ^^

I don't know which mission it was exactly, but I think it was the first one where they tried to recover two booster stages (I hope that's what they are called). Watching the live stream of both of them landing simultaneously back on the pad gave me goosebumps and sent shivers down my spine, in a good way.

Simply answering a question with "Yes" without providing evidence or a deeper explanation seems pretty useless and like no additional knowledge was gained.

From the regulations linked in the article:

‘‘Chopped Beef’’ or ‘‘Ground Beef’’ shall consist of chopped fresh and/or frozen beef with or without seasoning and without the addition of beef fat as such, shall not contain more than 30 percent fat, and shall not contain added water, phosphates, binders, or extenders. When beef cheek meat (trimmed beef cheeks) is used in the preparation of chopped or ground beef, the amount of such cheek meat shall be limited to 25 percent; and if in ex- cess of natural proportions, its presence shall be declared on the label[...].

That might be because they are different people. Hacker News commentators are not a homogenous mass, but a collection of individuals who can hold opposing views.

Trillion even. At least when using the short scale.

The PEG used for medicine has very short chain lengths, and I would be surprised if it isn't liquid or water-soluble, and not taken in the form of actual micropellets.

They could just use the iPhone's USB-C charger for their MacBook. Oh wait.

Samsung Dex[0] is still an active project and recently announced a beta version. It will only work with newer Samsung devices though, which excludes my Galaxy S4 and of course all phones by other manufacturers.

Good catch. I didn't even notice this while reading the grandparent comment. But I've seen people debate this fact, or rather the fact that 0.9̅=1, for days and weeks on the internet.

I don't see how that exact description couldn't be used when writing about a man. In fact I assumed it was a man at the start of the quote (haven't read the article yet).

How does one "meet their true self" and what exactly is it? Also, the influence of n-back training on general intelligence is anything but uncontroversial.

Thank you! I misread the quote and thought it talked about having a lower IQ than one thinks in both cases. This cleared everything up.

Could you please explain the meaning of that quote to me?

I personally know a number of people with PhDs who never did well on IQ tests, but simply persevered and did their thing.

In rural China? I can live pretty comfortably on 10k for two years in an Austrian city with my cheap apartment and by abstaining from luxuries.

That's not correct, see this Hacker News comment and the reply by the creator:

That's fascinating! I also was still under the impression that the ASCII Matrix was the oldest surviving torrent and even started seeding it, back when I first heard about that story. Great to see such connections being made; that's what the internet is, or should be, all about.

Yes, I saw that. But saying something like that and then mentioning nothing but money (income) is a little confusing.

You say it's not about the money, but then you mention income again. What is it about then?

Plus, you can't downvote submissions at all, even if you have the 500 karma necessary to downvote comments. The only thing you can do is to flag it.

You can't downvote submissions, only flag them. Downvoting is reserved for comments.

That's just a typo. They most likely meant to write "play nicely together".

For what it's worth I have never seen this before and am certainly happy that it got posted again. It's not like your Hacker News experience gets massively influenced by a story being reposted every couple of weeks.
