jvidalv··on Ask HN: Where have you found community outside of work?
In small towns in Spain is very common, when the weather is good people just sit outside their houses with a chair, and im talking about houses without garden whatsoever, they just sit on the street, of-course its secondary streets where there are almost no cars. Normally people stops to chat, and the more closer neighbors also come to sit.

Humanity is nature and natural, everything we produce and do is literally just a transformation of something that already exists.

What's the difference between the honey created by bees and the nuclear waste of a nuclear reactor?

If you get rid of the pro-not-human narrative there is none.

Are you aware that is not the rich people who sustain the state and thus 99% of its income, but the middle class right?

That's why politicians who campaign with ideas like "taxing the rich to fix X problem" are pure populist bullshit. You are the one who is gonna end up paying more.

First there are not enough rich people compared to commoners, and second, they can and will hide their money if possible and worth it.

So in the UK as in any other state, what did and is providing "free" education is your money and the money of the ones like you in the middle and upper-middle class.

Same in Spain, and I guess most of Europe, when you are parking temporarily ( < 5 minutes normally ) somewhere you shouldn't you put the hazard lights on.

But I'm not talking about blocking the road entirely, of course that's not the case, just parking in places that is not allowed to park statically.

jvidalv··on Portugal proposes to end Golden Visas, curtail Airbnb rentals
Airbnb should be regulated to the ground.

On the other hand construction regulations should be removed and government intervention lowered down so the market can fill the gaps by building like crazy.

jvidalv··on A weird epic ramble about Etsy homepages from the middle 2000’s
I honestly think that these kind of situations are the best ones of our careers.

I barely can’t rembeber the perfectly written API, but I still laugh over some of the wild shit I saw over the years on companies that started with a single php file and a mysql db, and when you go to have beers with your teammates its a 100% safe topic to just have laughs all the way long.

jvidalv··on Are we screening too much for skin cancer? It's complicated
Im not saying that skin cancer is not a thing, but that from my position seems overblown.

The fact that seems that if you take sun without sunbathe you could likely get skin cancer is crazy.

As I said, I live in a rural place where most people gets lots and lots of sun and I still have to know a single old man having it.

And old mans that have taken +8 hours of sun since they are 12.

Just my two cents

jvidalv··on Are we screening too much for skin cancer? It's complicated
I think people overblowns it.

I live in a rural town in Spain where most people are still farmers ( wineries, olives ).

It means most of the men can take up to 6-7 hours, at minimum, of sun their entire life each day.

Its a small town so we know whenever someone dies. In my 27 years never heard or someone died from skin cancer.

There have been many lung cancers from smoking, prostata, belly...

I dont know where this trend about skin cancer begun, maybe is a think for northen people and not mediterranean that we are more “brown”, and like everything it propagated like fire, trying to sell to you that if the sun hits you without protection youll get skin cancer.

Sorry but no

jvidalv··on On incels, dead bedrooms and the hard problems of loneliness
As a lone wolf I totally disagree.

I think that we are engineered to have sexual and romantic partners by default. And there are some, like me, that somehow we can live without one and not fall into addiction traps ( drugs, party, videogames... ).

But we all have friends ( most ) that are not like this, the difference for most of them between being single or not is big, and I don’t agree that they are depressed its just human nature.
