Big fan of the Notebooks. Hope the offline verison is hardened and available on windows soon enough.

These data viz are great dashboard builders but need a local/offline solution for my needs.

It's a question of spectacle. 300 people dying in a plane crash is perceived as worse than 300'000 dying of preventable disease.

(Or 1 insurance CEO being killed being perceived as worse than 50'000 being killed by denied insurance claims)

Thus my point. Cognitive dissonance at its finest (worst)

Think most commenters are correct and that tech and screens have usurped more “medicinal” drugs.

What I find interesting is the general lack of care among folks here at HN. There was a comment thread about some person in AL alluding to not being able to find qualified workers at their government contractor implying a morale hang up on “weapon systems”

I’d argue tech kills more folks than these contractors but people can easily look past that.

Wonder if Laundando and associates lurk HN. Surely they are comments about carbon robotics.

We need to stop the enormously stupid ethanol requirements in gasoline, and corn subsidies to produce them.
kickout · 2 years ago
Agree, but from a political standpoint it's cheap. The subsidies are overall not expensive and it's good to incentivize over production of crops from a nation security standpoint.

Below comments are correct, EVs will ultimately be the equalizer
