Your downvoting my remark only shows that HN is still an incredibly unsafe space for people who menstruate and marginalized communities more generally. This is not suprising since HN is white and male.
> Amazon keeps recommending me tampons (I'm a guy) ever since I've had a coworking office with a female colleague in 2015.
Men can menstruate too. This statement of yours is harmful because it perpetuates cisnormative stereotypes. Please stick with "I am not a person who menstruates" in the future or something similar.
How ironic. If you listened to HN, you'd think that Europe was so pro-consumer, unlike those silly Americans who keep granting Stupid Patents to Evil Bigcorps.
On the other hand, those people are likely to just vote to steal more of my stuff. I'd like to have every adult in the nation cast a ballot, but they need to quit voting for blatant robbery, first.
I wish more people realized this. I already know a few people who have lost their jobs, and several others who have had their hours reduced greatly. The government can't solve that sort of thing, especially if the economy grinds to a halt and tax revenue drops.
Really, your solution to this is "Republicans bad"? The Democrats are far from perfect. I'm not happier than the next guy about the bail-outs of companies, but you're saying it's okay to dispense colossal hand-outs to everyone? The government cannot solve this problem. It's not the government's job. Bad things happen; go back to life.
I'll preface by saying I don't agree with epicgiga's position. But... that is one of the weirdest videos I've ever watched. Between the mickey mouse imitation, the odd costuming, the bizarre props, and the funny lighting, I made it only about five minutes in. Why couldn't this person have just written a normal article? It's almost always faster to read than to watch a video, anyway.
> The situation is far more bizarre than "use" or "not use"... "converted metric units"
You're absolutely right. It's time we removed the quasi-metric garbage and replaced it with proper customary units defined on the same universal constants used by SI units.
This remark comes from a tremendously privileged position. Much of the world spends its day trying to find enough to eat, so creating creating a nitrogen-fixing cereal may be a better compromise in a world where the "ideal" outcome (from an ecological perspective) is not viable.
This sort of speculation harms the argument for climate change more than it helps it. To convince others, it's better to build a case on scientific fact and large-scale issues than one specific interest of a likely-natural oddity.
Electron's strength is a low learning curve and easy cross-platform development (though more complex projects still get harder; it's just easier to get started). Qt isn't perfect, but it's probably still better than electron; it is also fairly good for cross-platform development, and though a little ungainly, fine as long as one works in C++.
