I’m not necessarily saying it is or isn’t. But I think, by definition, if an article draws a lot of flagged/downvoted comments (as this one has), it’s hard to argue that it’s not divisive, at lea…

I don’t disagree. I’m just afraid it’s a hard problem to solve, at least an automated one. At one point, I proposed a read-only option for (well-reported) divisive articles to help raise awareness wit…

I think parent just means that it’s a divisive topic, which means on the internet, that inherently makes it flamebait (and not necessarily through any fault of the reporting). Even on HN (and sometime…

I’m actually growing bored with tech news, in general (as someone in the software engineering field), and am starting to be drawn more to things like advances in health and medical sciences, disease t…

> I’m convinced most meetings are to make up for poor writing skills. That’s funny, because I actually prefer writing to make up for my poor meeting skills.

Then you’re in agreement with the article: > I try very seldom to call for anyone to be fired, but I think whoever authorized this movie ad through Wallet push notifications ought to be canned. …

> they sing me to sleep I read this at first as “sting” and was briefly horrified. But bees singing is still, to me, quite horrifying, and would not at all help me fall asleep.

You must not be allergic, then, because it lasts a lot longer than a stubbed toe, and much more painful than simply “irritating”. I’d rather stub my toe 10 times than get stung by a bee — well, maybe …

I’ve not really educated myself on the details of cancer treatments (I’m fortunate I’ve not had to learn yet), so my uneducated assumption was that chemo always did something for cancer, it was more…

Right now, it’s just a blank white page. Assuming HN HoD?

Ads have been on TV since the beginning of TV. And before that, that were — and still are — on radio. Where they’re also “irrelevant”. But the relevancy to our current activities isn’t tied to their e…

Yeah, my point wasn't that learning ASM isn't valuable, or that we don't use the constructs in higher level languages. My point is that the analogy with arithmetic vs. calculus doesn&#x…

> For instance we teach arithmetic before calculus. I don’t think that’s a fitting analogy. Nearly everyone on the planet uses (basic) arithmetic. Very few use calculus. By contrast, very few (pr…

So is that the TLDR of the article? /s

For sure, I’m not advocating intentionally lengthening videos for financial incentives, either. I guess I didn’t immediately get that impression when I watched it, but I wasn’t watching it with that i…

I just watched the whole thing, and I didn’t mind. I feel like people have just gotten so used to 10-second videos, and anything longer now feels like an eternity. I really hope people don’t stop maki…

The only thing missing is the voiceover. “A look at your local radar.” “Currently the temperature is 81 degrees under clear skies.” I feel like that’s the natural next step, and we’re probably not too…

Yeah, there's something about hearing -- especially music -- and smell that can somehow really induce major nostalgia, where sight just doesn't have the same effect. Sight still definitely c…

It will only be the true 90s Weather Channel when I hear some Rippingtons playing in the background. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndaMC-Ug4Jg …

I actually prefer the (grammatically incorrect) sentence-starting “And”. Sentence-starting “And”s bring the drama. And that’s why I love them. Or even better: Sentence-starting “And”s with line bre…

I’m talking strictly the rules of gameplay, and applying that metaphorically to competition within the workplace and war. Taken literally, of course the experience of playing a board game should be fu…

I think this is basic competition. For example, in board games, there are several types: - Competitive games: every person for themselves; there’s one winner, everyone else loses - Co-op games: every …

I'm surprised no one has yet to mention the use of the name "Flow", which is also the title of the 2025 Oscar winning animated movie, built using Blender. [1] This naming seems very con…

Full time people spend roughly 24% of their week working. Factoring in PTO/holidays, roughly 20 years of education and 20 years retirement, part time and unemployment, that number drops quite a b…
