Chos89··on Facebook Doesn’t Tell Users Everything It Really Knows About Them
So you think people who avoid unnecessary killing are ethically fucked up? Hitler, is that you?
Chos89··on Chinese smiths forge a large flange on the street [video]
I know it's probably a custom order, but don't they have a cast which is more similar to the end product that they can use, saving them time by skipping a few steps?
Chos89··on Ask HN: Senior developers, what would you tell a younger you?
Care to explain?
Chos89··on Let’s relocate a bunch of government agencies to the Midwest
A lot of snobbish comments here IMO, coming from Europe I'm getting an image of the Midwest as a place where 99% people work in agriculture and don't know how to read or write.
Chos89··on Ask HN: What’s the best city/state for self-taught web devs without a degree?
Not Germany.

I thought https://airtame.com/ would get pretty huge by now
Chos89··on Cards Against Humanity is digging a hole in the earth
http://www.economicsonline.co.uk/Managing_the_economy/The_mu...

I don't think "Parable of the broken window" captures the essence of our economy, it only mentions the handyman receiving 6 francs, and not him paying his suppliers, them paying their suppliers and so on, his tools, his rent, his taxes, etc.

Chos89··on Cards Against Humanity is digging a hole in the earth
I think the interesting thing about this is to think how weird our economy functions, because at the end of this, all we will have is a net gain for the economy and an empty hole.
Chos89··on Visual Studio for Mac Preview
But don't you need Xcode to build stuff for iOS, macoOS, etc.? How do you integrate the two and is it worth it?
Chos89··on Ask HN: I have just turned down my first contract. Am I an idiot?
Is that netto amount?
Chos89··on Show HN: I'm 17 and I created an iOS app to hide one photo within another
It is, but honestly most of HN is r/iamverysmart
Chos89··on Ask HN: Other than coding, which other specific interests have you got?
Raising social skills to get more dates. What I learned so far:

Step 1 : Be attractive

Chos89··on Ask HN: You've got one month, what's your challenge?
Depends on the amount of quality hours you manage to put in
Chos89··on Ask HN: Predict the future
Internet and the flood of information. Vegan population soon reaching a critical mass(every friend circle has a vegan). And then when people have someone next to them who is vegan for x+ years and healthy they will think it's a maintainable lifestyle. Also, anecdotal evidence, just a year ago a vegan post on a forum (i.e. Reddit) would get downvoted into oblivion and posts like 'bacon tho' upvoted, when today, more often than not, it's the opposite
Chos89··on Ask HN: Predict the future
Because feeding meat to 9 billion is unsustainable and the only reason we are able to do it now is because of the huge subsidies. It has terrible environmental effects and it's morally wrong since the only reason people still eat meat is the taste and tradition. I expect a huge paradigm shift here. For more information you could watch documentaries like Cowspiracy and Earthlings.

Chos89··on Ask HN: Predict the future
Veganism becoming mainstream, shunning people who are not vegan
Chos89··on I don’t like computers
If you are a general stuff maker you might appreciate this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwH6B7aJYDU&index=38&list=LL...
Chos89··on Ask HN: What do you regret in life?
Want to trade?
Chos89··on Seattle: Highest Minimum Wage, Lowest Unemployment Rate
Like the people who clean your buildings, so I can assume companies will stop using cleaning services? If some job needs to be done it will be paid.
Chos89··on Powerwall 2 and Integrated Solar
I must admit I don't understand this graph, from the context, yes, but from the graph alone I don't
Chos89··on Ask HN: Is Dell XPS Developer Edition a Good Replacement of Macbook Pro?
And still paying a premium price for a 3 year-old specs laptop. If money wasn't an issue people would just but the 4300$ mbp
Chos89··on MacBook Pro
No, because the floppy is on 1% devices and the usb is on 99,99%, not really a fair comparison
Chos89··on How to Create More Women and Minority Tech Founders
Not sure how to feel about this, are there any laws that prevent minorities and women to become tech founders? Just don't discriminate people and that should be enough. As accepting only white males into certain programs would be considered racist, so is this IMO.
Chos89··on iPhone 7
Yeah, that would be the case, if it only were not for the dozens of just touchscreen phones before the iPhone came out. IMO, this could be the beginning of the decline of Apple (since smartphones make majority of apples profit)
Chos89··on Ask HN: I'm 28yo. Should I start college now, or get real world experience?
Because he probably had to deal with people to whom you can't explain that there are variants of poker that are more than beatable with the right circumstances (rake %, player pool, fish-reg ratio, etc.)
