Exendroinient00··on My dad died last week and now I am the only male in the family.How do I procede?
Your dad should have achieved financial stability in that age. You are too young to have significant amount of money. It's not your obligation.
Exendroinient00··on Meta plans thousands more layoffs as soon as this week
Burning money on the risque projects should be the industry standard. No matter what would happen here, either of outcomes are positive. Dying of facebook or making cool vr toys are no things to be mad about. People are simultaneously defending stale tech companies to keep their cushy jobs and criticizing them when they are in the R&D phase burning piles of cash, which is the necessity.
Exendroinient00··on Maybe treating housing as an investment was a mistake
Threads like this inevitable devolve into socialism vs capitalism debates. Better not to engage.
Exendroinient00··on Google Search Is Dying (2022)
As the web business model is based on ads user experience isn't that important. I'm curious on the monetization model of new prompt based search engines. Ads dominating first pages of search won't be possible anymore. The adoption of new engines also wouldn't be as fast as many think, people habits die slow. So they still have time to think of a way to make money. Alphabet needs some competition. They became stale in the last 10 years.
Exendroinient00··on Blizzard manager departs in protest of employee ranking system
It's hard to evaluate performance in the industries adjacent to arts/entertainment which the gaming industry definitely is.Typical software practices won't work in the every industry.
Exendroinient00··on Japan PM’s solution to dire birthrate has already been rejected by young
Falling birthrates are inevitable consequences of development of the world. Children in the past were more of an economic choice when majority of families have farms as their local businesses.Children have been a free labor until adulthood when they would be expected to take over the farm from old parents.Simply put,employees were just children in many families.

It's a dangerous trend to our entire economic system,which is based on the ever growing pool of people to consume and keep paying pensions.Political solutions probably won't work as the consumption number needs to grow to keep the economic system running.So we need to figure out robotics and automation as a whole.

Exendroinient00··on Why Not Mars
Base on moon is simply put much more rational choice. It would be just antarctica on steroids with possible resupply and relative proximity. Colony on mars needs to be entirely self-sustaining and we don't have any working equivalent here on earth. Putting material on the surface is one thing, but to actually have the infrastructure there to survive is much harder beast.
Exendroinient00··on Two temperate Earth-mass planets orbiting the nearby star GJ1002
Nothing new, there are plenty of similar planets discovered around red dwarfs. Unfortunately, there are none found around the g-type stars and that's where the copy of earth ultimately should be possible.
Exendroinient00··on SBF Arrested by Bahamian Authorities
SDNY isn't to take lightly. Likely 25+ sentence.
Exendroinient00··on Ask HN: What are some of the best podcasts for developers?
You won't learn anything from podcasts. It gives a illusion of being smart.
Exendroinient00··on Fusion energy breakthrough by Livermore Lab
Still not nearly enough money invested to energy research.
Exendroinient00··on Not-so-great features coming soon to Windows 11
Switch to linux. Gaming on it isn't that big of a problem now.
Exendroinient00··on Is Dark Mode Good for Your Eyes? (2020)
Differences of dark and white for eyes are so minimal that debates on effects between a specific color of screen don't matter at all.
Exendroinient00··on Google to lay off 10k “poor performers”
Finally some positive news. There are too many people at faang and they are vastly overpaid.
Exendroinient00··on Introduction to Genomics for Engineers
Almost every thread covering non web/finance fields of software have loads of comments about pay as the first priority derailing entire discussion.
Exendroinient00··on FTX Collapse takes toll on the Bahamas
Nothing wrong with inviting every scammer to do scamming on your islands.
Exendroinient00··on Oldest software system in continuous use
Last people managing this kind of old legacy software will inevitably die. The Young generation probably won't replace the entire industry, and from that point onward we would have a pretty massive rot and the forgotten knowledge rippling through the entire society.
Exendroinient00··on Almost everything on Amazon is becoming an ad
Most of reviews are also entirely false and botted.
Exendroinient00··on Bankman-Fried being invited to speak at a New York Times event alongside Yellen
Now you can only expect a non-biased nyt interviewer.
Exendroinient00··on Introduction to Genomics for Engineers
Surely sellouts working on ads won't interject the comment section.
Exendroinient00··on Graduate students question career options
Another useless thread of sellouts mocking non sellouts for not selling out. Toxic internet mob didn't spare this website.
Exendroinient00··on Lex Fridman Podcast #309 – John Carmack
I've never understood sense of those talking heads type of podcast. You won't get anything useful out of it and it's not even entertaining. Listening to smart people talk doesn't make you smarter.
Exendroinient00··on Ask HN: Is Facebook Dying?
Seems like it. Now they are trying to switch to the vr/ar stuff and monetize it heavily, possibly by some crypto scheme. Risky move, probably isn’t gonna pan up.
Exendroinient00··on Developers of small modular reactors hope their time has come
I can't wait to see a disappearance of the irrational fear of everything nuclear in the modern discourse. Popular culture by the likes of the Chernobyl tv series and fallout further instilled that fear.
Exendroinient00··on uBlock Origin becomes top addon on Firefox
Surprisingly the adtech is by far the profitable industry including costs to operate comparing to any other industry. Ads are the biggest pillar on which most of the faang stands. Sadly most people don't even want to make a few clicks to download a browser extension.
