It is unironically correct. Well, interaction with other human beings may not be the only important thing, but it is certainly far and away the most important thing.

Absolutely not. If you don’t live there, then your vote shouldn’t matter as much as someone who does live there.

Right, but why not play BG3? You know that an LLM is not going to provide any meaningful narrative, or craft a thought provoking story.

Hi there, I see that the only solutions engineer role available is based in France/EU. Is there a US based solutions engineer role?

Thanks! I never thought of it that way.

As a "regular joe", receiving a reply from someone I admire is a great feeling. Richard Stallman and Noam Chomsky come to mind.

>we’re recruiting [interns] from local schools near our offices. So if we're not local, can we still apply?

I find that incredible (in a good way!) My idea of govt organizations was strict dress code, clock in at 8 AM on the dot, leave at 5 PM sharp, unknowable bureaucracy above your head.

Of course, it's extremely important. I'm currently listening to the Freakonomics podcast on the Challenger explosion[0]. I was only noting the difference being born a few years apart can make when it comes to significant shared cultural memories.

As someone born in 1995, I don't have any real emotional connection to the Challenger explosion. It's pretty bizarre to think that children born after the 9/11 attacks will probably feel the same indifference.

Congratulations on 4 million users! The visualization works really well, IMO. A couple thoughts on its implementation: 1) The dropdown list of countries is not alphabetized. Makes it difficult to find reviews from a given country, although it does make you use the map:)

2) If you click on a country that doesn't have a review, it produces a blank, instead of the country name and flag with no reviews.

Is that really true? That seems like such an oversight.

You've never heard of HomeAway? They and VRBO (which they own) are the 2nd and 3rd biggest players in the home sharing economy, after Airbnb.

He said social democracy, which has nothing to do with communism.

Yeah exactly, this has been out for a while. Not sure why this is on the front page of HN.

Poe also wrote a pretty disturbing short story about a doppelganger. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Wilson_(short_story)

This is amazing. I can't wait to show this to my little sister.

I've definitely seen this after spending two summers at Airbnb. They take pride in being very selective re: culture fit and personality, and I think this is one of the most critical reasons why it's a great place to work.

Cool, but some of these are a bit of a stretch. I don't think a slug is actually mimicking a cow.

It bothers me that the main reason these people are choosing to go is to be remembered. I watched a similar documentary on them a while ago and there was a general consensus that they lead purposeless lives here and they want a statue made of them.

I agree. Weirdly, I find myself coming up with more ideas of what to build when I see the limited options Radioshack has than when I'm ordering parts off the internet. Limits breed creativity, I guess.
