AI has done bad things for humanity. I know, I know, a tough pill to swallow. However will Hacker News users cope with the trauma?? Of knowing... AI... can be bad... sometimes?

Some people are poor. Did you know that? Some people live in poverty. I'm sure that is a big surprise to you. Some Americans still have to spend nickels and dimes. Crazy, right? Some people don't have infinite Bitcoin from mommy and daddy.

Some people are poor. What about it?

Removing a coin doesn't change the average price people pay for things.

Think about doing it the other way. Would bringing back the half penny help poor people?


I'm in favor of keeping dimes.

However, to put it into perspective, a dime is only 50 seconds of labor at Kansas' minimum wage ($7.25/hr).

It's hard to find a situation where a dime truly makes much difference. And remember the rounding. You won't always lose 10c just because dimes don't exist.


Well, yeah. But where's the article? I would like to see more articles about the Emacs-universe.


Posting this on Hacker News is like contacting a bunch of marine biologists to tell them "water = wet"


It's not perfect, but considering all the bullshit and misinformation out there about autism spectrum disorder, it's a step in the right direction. I'm sure all of the other autistic people will tell you why it sucks, why it's not good, and nitpick and criticize, but it's fun, it looks cool, and it's decent media representation for a marginalized community that has almost no real representation in media. I don't really like how the goal is to just be a productive worker and exist in society that works against you in every way?

There should be more than 4 meters under "Stats", and one of them is just labeled "???" and goes to 0 for no reason.


Whaat? You are telling me... Facebook and le Instragram... are not good things for me?


I'm sorry to say this but I just enjoy the irony of it all. His last words were "Counting or not counting gang violence?". He literally died arguing for less gun control, saying mass violence and death is acceptable. I guess he found out the hard way the consequences of spreading hateful, bigoted, divisive, evil shit. Ben Shapiro cancelled a bunch of his visits to college campuses, I think that's hilarious - I wouldn't shed any tears for him, either.

What if Trump is behind this, and he had him killed to distract from the Epstein files business? He could also blame it on the liberals and the left, and make his own party look like victims.


Awesome. Really, really awesome. One day no one will actually know how to write code, and no one will be able to fix all this shit.


Really helpful site from Luke Smith. I would advise anyone interested in web development to check out this page. There's a lot of cool stuff on there.


Wow!
