water554··on In Defense of Missile Defense
Yeah, you want to bet everybodies life on that?
water554··on Office vacancy rate in San Francisco just hit a new high
I would rather free housing go to people in need who work for a living
water554··on The FDA has officially declared a shortage of Adderall
Dexedrine
water554··on Fentanyl test strips highlight rift in struggle to combat drug deaths
These "critics" are unbelievable backwards and harmful. Fent test strips are incredibly important, but the sooner we can legalize all drugs the sooner people can stop dying from bad batches.
water554··on America Has Lost Its Oil Buffer
Citation needed. It’s the covid era monetary and fiscal policy that screwed us.
water554··on “It’s time for Apple to fix texting”
I am a colorblind male and I apologize on behalf of colorblind people using the word ableist. The bubble text is fine for me.
water554··on Job switchers are earning a lot more than those who stay
Getting 50% extra quality of life. Working 30 instead of 40 hours. Waking up at 10am. Time is invaluable, money isn’t. Grinding at 75% rather than 100% makes all the difference in mental health.
water554··on Ask HN: I'm in a rut. How did you get out of yours?
I’m not a fan of adderall I find it harsh and pushy.

Stimulants seem to be the clear path to restoring balance. It is after all the most effective treatment.

Weed is toxic in a “bad habit that scrambles what little executive function we have” way. Absolute devil drug and more addictive than methamphetamine for those with adhd IMO.

water554··on Ask HN: I'm in a rut. How did you get out of yours?
Agree with half of this. Speaking from experience the weed is toxic. The (correct for you) adhd meds are crucial but make sure you can take a break for a day weekly.
water554··on Ask HN: I'm in a rut. How did you get out of yours?
The solution is to get medicated with the right medicine for you if you truely have adhd

water554··on Porn use and men's and women's sexual performance
Source: interacting with the opposite sex for more than 30 days
water554··on Shutdown of the court system as a possible factor in the crime wave
Dude, at least they left! You got off easy!
water554··on I stopped cosmonauts from carrying guns (2014)
Why don’t you go live in Mexico for awhile. You can be under constant threat of kidnapping, crime, etc. you can always call the police if you have a problem. Guns are illegal there.

Yes, the price of the second amendment is blood.

water554··on I stopped cosmonauts from carrying guns (2014)
AK-47 is 7.62x39 AK-74 is 5.45x39
water554··on Ask HN: What is the most complex topic you understand?
It’s a bit hand wavy but conceptually: Hot rock to running application is mentally wild.
water554··on Gun owners’ private information leaked by California Attorney General
Actually on the bottom on the form it says: For question 21a if you’re buying it as a bonafide gift YOU are the actual transferee. It’s legal. Too lazy to look it up but I’ve done this many times you can google it
water554··on Monkeypox outbreak in U.S. is bigger than the CDC reports. Testing is 'abysmal'
They totally did fund gain of function research and Fauci is weasel wording about that. He is a liar.

Creating mice with humanized lungs. Creating new viruses with spike protein to infect said lungs. Making virus more fit by passing through human lung mice. Not GOF huh?

water554··on Ask HN: How to navigate an interview where the interviews has it against you
Is this a joke? If somebody did that I would not respect them.
water554··on Meta bans staff from open discussion of Roe vs. Wade
It doesn’t matter if the vaccine gives you wings and free beer for life. The government should NOT be able to mandate an injection (tested for not very long) into a person’s sovereign body. (I am vaccinated btw, not that it matters)

Privacy violations are NOT a necessary evil. They are the slipperiest of slopes. Look to china to see where this road ends. The government is not our parents, it’s a naughty power hungry child.

water554··on What happened to the lab-leak hypothesis?
No. It’s not where they exist in the wild. The closest related virus (RATG-13) to n-cov-2 come from northern china (Yunnan), where they were imported to the Wuhan virology lab to study. What a coincidence!
water554··on Ask HN: How to navigate an interview where the interviews has it against you
Just deal with it and be positive. Maybe try to turn it into friendly banter. In the past I have interrupted people and drilled into bits of their sentence. When all you have is 30 minutes sometimes you have to be quick. Sometimes people don’t stop talking. Maybe the interviewer didn’t get enough sleep.

Whatever you do don’t make it or take it personal, and don’t let it wobble you. Ascend above it and prosper. You want to be emanating good vibrations.

water554··on FDA to order Juul e-cigarettes off U.S. market
I’m not going to stop smoking, it’s my body and brain. How dare you tell me what to do with myself and use societal costs as rational.

I’m terribly sorry your government had forced you to pay for these things, I don’t agree with that either. I suggest you take it up with them.

water554··on Ask HN: Has anyone made any serious money selling Android apps?
So many people even on HN complain about something as trivial as a $1/mo price change (digital ocean). I don’t get the mentality but it exists. That’s a great idea about micro subscriptions. I wonder if the friction is the same between $1 and $0.10 though.
water554··on How to Share a Secret [pdf] (1979)
I wager this answer wasn’t obvious to most on HN…
water554··on FDA to order Juul e-cigarettes off U.S. market
This is a shame. For those who don’t know Juul uses a special nicotine salt that hits the brain hard fast and satisfying. Additionally their mango flavor was top notch. I guess I’ll have to switch have to cigarettes now. I wish the government would stop mandating what I can and cannot put in my body.
water554··on Ask HN: How should we design anti-shrinkflation laws?
Ah yes, let’s think we know better than everybody else.
water554··on Ask HN: Has anyone moved to Puerto Rico, was it worth it?
Lack of federal income tax I believe
water554··on The Coin That Could Wreck Crypto
You can legalize drugs and not let losers camp on public property and openly operate bike chop shops. The states that legalize drugs just happen to be the states that let human garbage … garbage up the city. I don’t think there’s a causal link.
water554··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
I dunno. I’ve lived in Los Angeles and worked for a few companies in CA where social justice was more important than the product. Also, people seemed to really like socialism despite working at a corporation.
