What country is that? For me it is still happening in any country I drive.

In many cases it's a form of a psychological defense - it's way too difficult to live in a reality where your country is killing droves of innocent people so your brain can switch to the "let's pretend that it's a giant lie and continue on" mode. It's the path of the least resistance: "we are the good guys, they are the bad guys, I can live with myself, all is good".

Berlin is listed as one of the locations but sadly has zero openings. Does that mean this is just a "potential" location? Or maybe some of these openings are available for remote work in Berlin?

Can you tell me how to find other stations with the Safecast map?
Rosenthaler Platz station is just blue all-around on that map - maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Interesting research but I don't really see any reflections on "GPS navigation could impact your brain function negatively" there

You are framing it like this company exists in vacuum and can ignore all external factors. And that is clearly not the case. They decided to regroup and downsize during tougher times, that's all.

Well, of course it was, nobody is hiding it - you can see the timer in the pool part and the graph showing seconds in the beginning.

You can turn it around. As others said - try to find a therapist that works for you. It could take some time, don't give up too early. Also you should probably come to terms with the idea that you will require medication (antidepressants), and there's nothing wrong with that.

This is his way of storytelling. This is his introspection. The poem in question was also long - too long for some people but it worked for others.
sbst32 | 3 years ago | on: I liberate the ending to Minecraft from Microsoft and give it to you
Because he explicitly says so and it never was his intention. If you're trying to say that he agreed to it never understanding what he's agreeing to - then that would probably be a non-binding agreement in any legal proceedings.

I totally agree with your points but parent is talking about empathy, not about thinking like each other. The author was trying to convey his thinking, his emotions, his struggles and his flaws. To me - he did that quite successfully.
sbst32 | 3 years ago | on: I liberate the ending to Minecraft from Microsoft and give it to you
I am stunned (pardon my sarcasm) that you're implying he demands something. The whole point of his long story was to say that he did not want to demand anything (even though he clearly had his opportunities). You're reading it wrong if you see "greedy" there.
And regarding "stunned this is on HN" - clearly this content is quite interesting/relevant to the HN audience as you can see by the number of comments.
sbst32 | 3 years ago | on: I liberate the ending to Minecraft from Microsoft and give it to you
Well that's called introspection. And the post is his way of a telling a story. He is a storyteller, that is what he does.

And? He never agreed to transfer his rights.

Parent comment was about a simple trigger "similar to pacemakers", it was a reply to that. It was never implied that it's not possible with the current technology

(I am residing in Russia, anti-war, anti-regime and don't have any domains with Namecheap)
Launching a major land war: let's take the Iraq operation for instance. Did any private company cut ties with its US customers over that? I really doubt it. Could an ordinary US citizen realistically do something to prevent the Iraq war? I really doubt it. Have the Iraq war lead to anything good? I don't think so. Death, destruction and ISIS.
sbst32 | 4 years ago | on: Why babies cry in the first three months, how to tell them apart, and what to do
It's like someone going through bootcamp giving advice (actually just describing their experience) about the first months of bootcamp - a perfectly sensible thing to do.

It could be part of the point but it does not sound like it.
It could say - Google is bad in that and that BUT it has Go. Or it could say - Google designed Go and is interested in its adoption BUT its own managers don't think that Google developers want to learn Go.
But instead it says that Google documentation "does not teach you how to fish" and "you're not sure how to proceed" and at the same time Go somehow gets away with it - "At least with the Go libraries it's feasible to read the entire source code and flesh out things on the edge of documentation".
sbst32 | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Gmail account security
It's a bit ironic that you're bashing Google and praising Go in the same paragraph, never mentioning that Go is designed and supported by Google.
sbst32 | 4 years ago | on: Tinder just permabanned me or the problem with big tech
>> That's called shadowban in the case of OP. Bumble started doing the same practices a year ago (which makes sense as they have the same founder)
Not arguing with the point you're making, but Bumble and Tinder founders are definitely not the same.
