Dumb humans. Is your comment serious?

With more resistance to pesticides and herbicides, farmers can add more of these substances to plants, and that will incidentally kill other lifeforms in the soil ecosystem that affect the nutritional content of the soil.

Fortifying plants by adding B12 to the soil is known to work. We absolutely should look into it.

> I guess taking 2 of my favorite musicians wasn't enough

Rappers are getting murdered all the time lately, assuming that's what you're referring too. It's really gotten to me this year too, especially the situation in Chicago. I'm guessing most people on HN don't know that a very popular musician was killed just two days ago.

Give it 10 or 20 years, we're rapidly killing off many species.

> all the pooled power of the tech companies

Here's a start. It's not an advantage to have these criminals try to tell everyone what to think.

Anybody with half a brain wants to see them in jail, rather than in a position to curate our realities.

So, expanding suffrage is just so terrible that it disqualifies Sanders? Unbelievable.

> "bad things" (those things being drugs).

And this is yet another comment made by what I would describe as a "bad person".

It says "will become", so your first interpretation is correct.

Well that was inevitable with the removal of some of their more prominent sexual predators.

Which in many cases leads to a project that is ultimately better, for reasons beyond just its licensing.

Gitlab has always seemed a little clunky to me from the perspective of running a smaller operation.

What a useless and smug response. You think people here don't know about the DMCA?

It's a stupid term. Why would you choose this unspecific, uninformative name for a virus instead of its actual name? Hmm...

Great! Another important topic of discussion derailed by HN's garbage algorithm.

It's #20 now but you can always tell when a post is doomed to oblivion by comparing the upvotes-to-time ratio to other posts on the front page. Unless the mods save it, this should be gone in a few minutes.

I don't like the ideas in most of these comments so far, but I still don't want to suppress this discussion. Let people show themselves for who they really are and what they really think, for good or bad, because we're never going to make any progress unless a discussion can actually happen.

Punish the specific individuals, obviously, even if there are hundreds of them.

Sure, I'm so eager to hear you regurgitate whatever the NYT consensus is.

Greenwald was on the right side of history regarding the Snowden revelations... but your own posts from that era, however, have not aged well.

Maximum, I saw a couple the other day -- 33 and 45. As a 32 year old I didn't feel too encouraged by that!

We should be smarter about what foods we "produce". No more meat subsidies, or better yet no more meat at all.

HN can't even display more than like 200 comments on a single page without melting down, so don't be too surprised.

What type of discrimination?

In SEA I see "Male Only" on programmer jobs not that infrequently, plus very often age requirements explicitly stated for all sorts of jobs.

Or MATE on an older laptop. Linux Mint is great!

I would suggest looking into MATE or XFCE if you haven't, or even a tiling window manager like i3.

The Unicode Consortium did the same to me for a totally unmonetized hobby project.

> the other thinks the CIA did 9/11

You're right that it's not true, or at least that memo about a month prior makes a pretty persuasive case for them.

Currently it's only clear that a few prominent people in the executive branch of the US government had foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks and then later covered up the participation of high level Saudi organizers like Prince Bandar.

I attended public schools for 12 years and you could not be more right! If the school had put me alone in a room with some textbooks all day with the option to go outside and exercise occasionally, I would have vastly preferred that to the painful boredom of being forced to sit in a chair 8 hours a day without movement or socialization.

I wanted this, I essentially begged for it for 12 years with no success. I didn't need any extra motivation to read or do math problems and I was way above my grade level in both, but had behavioral problems because I was so bored in school. I still ended up with very high SAT and ACT scores too, but eventually broke down toward the end of college and graduated on time but with a few bad grades. My parents would have lost their minds if I had dropped out during any of the first three years when I also had an A-average GPA.

The public schools I went to all had a gifted program in various forms, which most years was just one hour a week and taught topics that should have been available to every student in the school. Amazingly, the teacher showed us the structure of a URL in around 1994 when I was in first grade.

I think it has a lot of potential.

It would be really useful if this could group messages by the canonical URL from where the message was sent and then be logged elsewhere. Especially if it could be extended to annotate or refer to parts of the page, so that with some further tooling you could view the log and click through directly to a particular part of site in a development environment.

You're revealing your own lack of aspiration while condescending toward older people.

Some people have prominent positions or intend to do important things in their life and they don't want to see personal conversations being leaked under the threat of blackmail.

I'm not.

Probably because they weren't getting enough protein. It's easy to eat carbs forever if you have nothing else because you'll still feel intensely hungry without protein.
