lemmonii··on US Senate votes unanimously to make daylight savings time permanent
False, it was tapped in 2016. I also think it was tapped in 2020 but am unable to confirm, they atleast plan to withdraw again in 2022.

lemmonii··on Report on Stablecoins [pdf]
The only realistic way to short tether is to take a DeFi Tether loan and use some other stablecoin (You must trust that it's peg will hold longer than USDT's) as collateral.
lemmonii··on First genetically modified mosquitoes released in the United States
1. Females evolve to detect males with the bad genes. Population will dip but recover. By opening this evolutionary pathway we could enhance the mosquitoes in unintended ways.

2. Some males will evolve genes which disable the sterilization gene. By opening this evolutionary pathway we could enhance the mosquitoes in unintended ways.

lemmonii··on Norwegian experts say blood clots were caused by the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine
Did you read the article? The Norwegians claim that one of the health workers died.
lemmonii··on Mac finder uses 1,000,000 bytes instead of 1,048,576 bytes for file sizes (2011)
I will enjoy 16 GiB of RAM, this is an already solved problem.
lemmonii··on Again on 0-based vs. 1-based indexing
This is not the case everywhere in Europe such as in Norway and Iceland where the 1st floor is generally considered to be the ground floor. It seems to be ambiguous in Sweden.
lemmonii··on GNOME has no thumbnails in the file picker and my toilets are blocked
An amazing feature of the windows file picker that i hardly ever see mentioned is that you can simply paste in a url into the name field and it will automatically download it to tmp and refer to the file.
lemmonii··on Peter Thiel Says Covid Marks 21st Century’s True Start
Something to be considered is that today's population is on average older than in 1968 and therefore there are more people vulnerable to respiratory illnesses than ever(*atleast before COVID19).
lemmonii··on Roblox S-1
I mostly agree but it can be nice to see your code doing something actionable and visual rather than the alternative more traditional approach to learning programming, printing to the terminal.
lemmonii··on A Guy Walks into an Apple Store
It’s absolutetly not very easy. I would say it’s very hard, indeed it requires a set of specialized tools.
lemmonii··on Crows possess higher intelligence long thought a primarily human attribute
Is there a possibility of human-crow co-evolution? I really can't think of any other reason the crow would give gifts.
lemmonii··on SteelSeries include adware in driver automatically installed by Windows Update
It's really funny to see the redditors defend this.
lemmonii··on Chuck Feeney Is Now Officially Broke
Individuals are made from genes.

I agree we should strive for a system which incentivises empathy, compassion, generosity and contentment.

Billionares do not have more kids but wealthy people have the capacity to have more healthy offspring, irregardless if they actually do.

I have said nothing about poisoning the gene pool, i am not a eugenicist and far from it. But every system has free-riders (leeches) as game theory predicts, we should try to counteract this behaviour not reward it.

>I'm very sceptical about the claim that the incentive to earn staggering amounts of money goes away if your great-great-grandchildren cannot profit from it.

I'ts not that simple, we are talking about evolutionary timescales here. It's very easy to see that if we live in a universe where accumulating wealth will not benefit your descendants, then accumulating wealth is an energy and time sink which will be selected against.

As for the second point i have no idea what Bezoz's motivations are.

>Why in the hell should the Rockefeller’s of today be billionaires?

Because we live in a system which rewards good genes, and that is a very good thing. By instituting a generational wealth tax you will be killing the human desire for wealth on a generational timescale.

Where does the money go? To other people i assume, you have now created a system where the evolutionary incentive is to leech from the system contributing as little as you can get away with. We live in such a system today but at-least there are some benefits to contributing more, those benefits are inherently that you can turn wealth into more children and transfer that wealth to them.

lemmonii··on Are you an anarchist? The answer may surprise you (2000)
Would you kick a baby on the sidewalk? If you answered no you are totally one of us!
lemmonii··on Are you an anarchist? The answer may surprise you (2000)
Yes in a sense but ultimately evolutionary equilibriums are the reason why. When everybody is a dove, being a hawk is very good, be it psychopaths, sociopaths or random opportunistic anti-social behavour.
lemmonii··on Apple just kicked Fortnite off the App Store
Interesting question, would this be legal? Could BP or Shell make a cheap car but with the caveat that it could only be filled at their stations?
lemmonii··on Interview with Bill Gates on Covid, social media
Absolutely, I fear he has the same lack of principles regarding bodily autonomy and forced vaccinations.

lemmonii··on Icelandair letting go its flight attendants and shifting their duties to pilots
This is already outdated. Just now the cabin-crew union and Icelandair signed a new contract.

I couldn't find an article in english but in another article they say that all layoffs will be reversed.

lemmonii··on Teachers are ready to quit rather than put their lives at risk
HN is feeling more and more like reddit every day. Why is this comment downvoted/flagged? It's the first well sourced scientific information I find in this thread.
lemmonii··on Hackers take over prominent Twitter accounts in simultaneous attack
The theory that I think is most probable is that someone got access to the hack, either by purchase or stumbling upon it, they tested it out and had a "holy shit this actually works" moment.

After this they became paranoid of the bug being fixed within hours and tried to monetise it in the quickest, easiest and safest way possible.

lemmonii··on Ask HN: What are some skills you have that are worth learning?
*In your current environment.

That was a long long time ago, remember when the comments on reddit were actually filled with some intelligent discussion?

lemmonii··on Iceland radically cut teenage drug use
Absolutely, I was in an Icelandic elementary school about a decade ago. While i was in school i saw a general decline in anti-social behaviour, now in that same school i see a dramatic rise in anti-social behaviour (violence drugs & drug use) through my siblings.
