fair enough. Sorry if it seemed like I was implying you down voted me. I do see your point about the comments on ZH, but honestly HN is a rare site that still generates high quality comments and doe…

Interesting that asking someone to provide proof to support accusations of racism earns one a down vote these days. I guess it's easier to make assertions and censor requests for proof than it w…

Really? I have not found that to be the case. Would you mind linking to an example of racism or misogyny on ZH? If you have proof of your assertions I will dump them as a source.

I wanted to point out that Linode has quality Linux hosting for as low as $5 per month. We've used them reliably for years.

The issue is that Google has lost most of it credibility as an authority on ethics. Think about what would prompt one to add "don't be evil" to their company charter, then think about …

Sometimes you are buying more than just a book and human expertise still has a value. I'll give you an example, I was very pleased to see a local music store flourishing mid pandemic, as I feare…

I support Powell's courage and I am rooting for them, but I'm afraid they have waited too long to make a stand and the only limit to Amazon's power to squash them in the marketplace is …

I share your skepticism, but I believe it's the real deal in this instance at least. https://www.costco.com/manuka-health-20%2b-raw-manuka-honey%... …

This might be the rare circumstance where this is helpful to mention. Costco has a very affordable (relatively) offering of Manuka honey right now. This is the strain that in several studies has shown…

But you make a good point that it is harder and harder to make it happen the more encumbered your life becomes. I'd suggest it as a sabbatical between high school and college. Maybe on a break?…

Yes, it is excluding the mentioned opportunity cost because that cost is different for everyone. For me, and I am sure others the opportunity cost of not going could not have been higher. I quit my …

(Hardest things? Bugs (mosquitos in south and blackflies in north and the ignorant little gnats that have no goal apparently than to try to bask in your breath and land on your eyeballs) and suffering…

Women often do better late in the trail over men because they are much more efficient at metabolising fats and at the end they look great and the guys usually look like concentration camp survivors. …

It has changed and it is just observations of competing waves of pessimism and optimism and the patterns they demonstrate. I'll put a model trained on TQQQ and SQQQ price and time data only. I w…

Sorry, but that is wrong. All I use is price and time. See Elliot Wave Theory. Most indicators are perfectly correlated with price meaning unless you are a HFT you can't trade fast enough to a…

Since your brain is already in keyboard learning mode, give Shift + Home and Ctrl + Shift + Home a try. It works wonders when selecting text for cutting and pasting. The same combos work with End as…

Is this possibly a good thing? If nanoplastics accumulate in plants, that means less of it in the water and air, right?

haha, I just realized that Gavin Belson is Luis!

Thanks for destroying comments on the internet, Google.

I'm honestly surprised it has taken this long. I was uncomfortable with the phrasing back in 99 when studying for my A+ exam.

To clarify that was an actual strategy used by the accountants of the crown to right the ship.

Right now I am listening to a fantastic history podcast for the first time. Mike Duncan's French revolution series. This reminds me of the logic used by the French monarchy right before the revo…
