I see Hanlon's Razor get throw around a lot, especially on HN. But does it really have any basis in reality?

If we assume that economic efficiency grows over time even in a non-inflation society, then it seems to me that the zero sum game argument doesn't exactly hold.

Don't be ridiculous. Some police officers are sociopathic, but on the other hand every robot is sociopathic as it stands.

Probably nothing because most people don't work at a tech company and couldn't/wouldn't work remotely regardless. Also the city has plenty of other benefits.

The teachers I know say there is almost no other way they are allowed to discipline children.

G+ was a facebook clone that brought nearly nothing new to the picture and thus no reason to switch so it failed. Pretty simple. TikTok fills the Vine niche and then some.

It's probably not fake. My teenage sister has gone from "TikTok is so cringey" a few months ago to "I actually kind of like it". It's now socially acceptable to use so it's in the clear. I saw someone using it on the airplane last week too.

I mean isn't it possible that it is very poor due to rampant corruption?

No you're not alone. But most people do it because garbage mainstream "inoffensive" music is blasted almost everywhere you go

I think a lot of it too is that if you have money, people feel entitled to your time and money because you have it.

To be fair it was pretty obvious if you had been in the space for a while. When random people start texting you up asking how to buy XRP and telling you why LTC is better than BTC you know it's a bubble and know it's time to get out.

Look at Charlie Lee for example. Everyone blames him for dumping his LTC at $200 or whatever it was but frankly it was extremely obvious that it was a bubble and a smart decision.

70% of high school graduates enroll in some college. It's not exactly a privilege of the wealthy.

Case in point, my original tuition value of ~16k/year was reduced so much by scholarships that I was actually making money going to school. This is an unusual case, but it wasn't unusual for other people at this school to be getting thousands in scholarships per year.

Funnily enough, I've once heard the quote: "A good compromise is one that leaves everyone unhappy"

I disagree. The wearables market is still wide open IMO and there is still plenty of room to make a truly compelling product.

Analogies are like the electricity of communication.

Lebron James is a moron. Remember the part of his statement where he claimed that many people had been physically hurt by Morey's words?

"Human rights" are guaranteed by the government unfortunately, because with a monopoly on violence they are the only entity legally able to enforce them. Human rights are politics.

I have. Like how their government lies about the air quality index, but when you check the index as generated by any other country's embassy you get a much higher number. How the people are taught that smog and unhealthy air is normal, and are afraid to talk about it if you bring it up. Or how major world events don't hit the papers, and if they do are given massive spin. Or how huge swaths of the internet are blocked. I used to live on an international floor in college, and when one of the Chinese students came here and went to the library, he said he read Chinese history and cried because it was so much different from what he'd be taught.

are we looking at the same post?

GP: girls can benefit from some aspects of male privilege (the parts where only a name is given) by taking a male name

parent: masculinity is more rigid in its ostracizing of feminine ideas

So might it even be smart to buy up nuclear waste and store it deep underground somewhere until it is?

Am I reading this right?

"erraPower notes that the US hosts 700,000 metric tons of depleted uranium and that 8 metric tons could power 2.5 million homes for a year.[9] Some reports claim that the high fuel efficiency of TWRs, combined with the ability to use uranium recovered from river or sea water, means enough fuel is available to generate electricity for 10 billion people at US per capita consumption levels for million-year time-scales."

That sounds completely crazy haha

Can someone with more knowledge explain to me why it's so hard to reuse waste? Like if it is emitting enough energy to contaminate entire swaths of land, why can't you just build something to absorb all the radiation? I can't imagine it is that much less efficient than a solar cell if you just stick it in a box.

We're too busy feeling good about ourselves for pointing out English privilege

Huh? It's pretty common even in basic college math courses to use language like "for every p in Q". It's not like programming invented this usage.

From Wikipedia: "In a free market, the laws and forces of supply and demand are free from any intervention by a government or other authority and from all forms of economic privilege, monopolies and artificial scarcities."

I think most people stop reading at "government" and don't realize that for a free market to exist, it needs to exist in a vacuum. There is no frictionless market, and every market has it's share of cost externalizations (plastics, energy, etc.), or leverage imbalance (healthcare, labor market).

Wonderful, can't wait to test it out. This is one of the main reasons I still use Chrome. I can't watch videos on my laptop without hearing my fans go crazy when using FF

Does this mean that watching video via firefox on OSX will no longer make my machine heat like crazy?

Right so first it's Hong Kong. Then Taiwan, just like Tibet before it, then whatever the next thing the Chinese government convinces the people that it owns. And next thing you know China is even bigger and more dangerous

He was blackballed. The league even settled in court with him over his grievances. Please don't muddy the waters.
