Hi. I would love to join the server, but unfortunately, the Discord link doesn't work for me.

Reminds me of the DOS game Executive Suite, I liked the demo (got the best path)!
aio2··on Frank Gehry has died
I don't have much to say about the focus of your comment, but I do want to talk about this:

"When you’re a kid you typically see wild new things like that as just normal because you have no context for how unusual they are."

NOT TRUE! I remember then (and even now) looking at unique things in awe and amazement, rather than something normal or ordinary.

Just what I think :)

aio2··on Fire destroys S. Korean government's cloud storage system, no backups available
Funny, because the same thing happened in Nepal a few weeks ago. Protestors/rioters burned some government buildings, along with the tech infrastructure within them, so now almost all electronic data is gone.

aio2··on Why Exercise Is a Miracle Drug
Walking is definitely better than sitting down all day, but that shouldn't be the goal. Weight training and more intense cardio are more important.

Wrong, depending on his priorities.

If he just wants a good website to do the job, sure, genai is uselesse

But if he wants to market it, in this day and age, it's practically a need.

aio2··on Mark Klein, AT&T whistleblower who revealed NSA mass spying, has died
Damn.

I don't know if this started the whole movement or whatever you'd call it for this push towards privacy and the general public knowing about it, but it helped a lot. Before him releasing info about room 641A and whatever else, there really wasn't definitive evidence of any government spying and tampering, and either with the intention of starting this movement or simply letting people know, he was a big push in the right direction.

tldr: he's a w

aio2··on I ate and reviewed every snack in our office kitchen
While fruits are packed with sugar, eating fruit also comes with fiber. This extra digestion slows the intake of sugar into the bloodstream, and getting fat/unhealthy from sugar comes from to much of it going through the liver. Because you may have too much sugar at a time, the liver needs help from the pancreas, which secretes insulin to store the sugar, which makes you fat.
aio2··on Show HN: I made an open-source laptop from scratch
my guess is when doing college applications, you figured you had to do something special to get into a good college, so you decided to do this lol

Doesn't matter why, pretty sick. I'm studying physics myself, so its pretty inspiring to see you do this

How's it going?
aio2··on Using ChatGPT is not bad for the environment
The emissions from vehicles are different from plastics produced by factories.

Also, while important, 2-3% of world emissions is a drop in the bucket compared to the other 97%. Let's consider the other causes and how we can fix them.

Think about this: for many people, not driving to work is a big deal. If people collectively decide to do that, that's a lot of effort and inconvenience just for 2-3%.

aio2··on My little sister's use of ChatGPT for homework is heartbreaking
It won't work. I've done it.

What happens is it's usually done by a lazy teacher who has no idea what they're even teaching. Most kids won't be motivated to learn and watch from the videos.

I consider myself studious. When I was in that class, I watched all the video lessons and whatnot at home. Even then, I had a poor understanding of the material, and obviously the teacher was of no help.

Although not much better, a lecture is better of the two. Hands on learning in the best, but not necessarily possible with certain subjects.

aio2··on Amazon workers to strike at multiple US warehouses during busy holiday season
Italy and America are different places, with conditions. Just because one is feasible in one country doesn't mean its feasible in another.
aio2··on Amazon workers to strike at multiple US warehouses during busy holiday season
I don't know, but I think it is unfair to put all responsibility onto the business owner. In theory, a job is an agreement where you work for someone, and they pay you. Certain benefits may be required depending on circumstances, but making companies provide so many benefits is not a fair option.

Keep in mind, I'm not opposed to companies providing benefits, but I think regulating this would create more trouble than good.

aio2··on Amazon workers to strike at multiple US warehouses during busy holiday season
I understand your frustration with these unfair offers, and I am not supporting that. In your case, you make an unfair generalization of small business owners and base your explanation of it.

In theory, if one employer offers a job with great benefits, they will win over the employer with not as many benefits. Clearly, that wasn't happening in your example.

aio2··on Amazon workers to strike at multiple US warehouses during busy holiday season
Thank you for your response. I hope I'm not misunderstanding here, but enlighten me if I am.

I wish all the benefits are possible, but it isn't feasible because different countries function differently, and I think your point explains it much better than I could have explained it.

America and Europe are different places, with different economies and as a result have different luxuries they can afford and costs they must bear. This means it is easier to offer benefits in Europe than America.
