> Andy Weir’s writing style is fast paced and practically a screenplay already

Oh thanks for the warning. I was avoiding him based on a hunch. Now I know I was right.

If anyone else is weird like me and likes books to not read like a movie screenplay, same goes for The Expanse.

I loathe movie adaptations and never watch them, but the source material The Martian was a very good read in my 12th grade.

I like hard SciFi with no aliens and plausible rules.

It's obviously vegan propaganda, but of course it corresponds perfectly to the type of people working those fields.

It's absurd to make kids believe a wolf can stop eating animals and become nice and friendly.

Stop reading into things what isn't there. The wolf is still eating fish, did you even watch it?

Yes, it was brilliant! As for AI, who cares? It's a commercial. Laugh, and move on.

Dillo is very cool and the blog post says more than «I moved away from Github.»

It's actually quite interesting, I recommend to read it!

That's called 'Reductio Ad Trumpum' and it is just as absurd as its spiritual predecessor, 'Reductio Ad Hitlerum' (https://www.fallacyfiles.org/adnazium.html)

The EU isn't undemocratic, but it feels undemocratic to many, and that's a legitimacy issue worth taking seriously
Idesmi · 5 months ago
It is not democratic, as long as the President of the Commission is practically chosen by the European Council and the Parliament only can say yes or no.

And as shown in the last two terms of Von der Leyen, saying no doesn't actually do anything, because the same candidate can be proposed again.

Oh please - people excuse and dismiss major accomplishments, you can send a skyscraper to mars and people on HN will still be calling you a fraud.

The Bay Area has massive traffic, complex interchanges, SF has tight difficult roads with heavy fog. Sometimes there’s heavy rain on 280. 17 is also non trivial.

What Tesla has done is not trivial and roads outside the bay are often easier.

People can ignore this to serve their own petty cognitive bias, but others reading their comments should go look at it for themselves.

To date, SpaceX has sent nothing to Mars. Not to understate the company's accomplishment, but "people on HN" are fed up exactly with statements like yours.
