yea see I run my own business and I don't consider the gender or race of people applying (aka not racist/sexist)

> It's hard to even find women to interview, let alone hire.

from my perspective this is a subtle admission of active positive discrimination on your part, frankly if i was a woman maybe i would find it a little off putting that a bunch of old guys were real keen to get me under their supervision

if there is a movement to get men into nursing, it's not nearly as vocal (and why would there be?)

i'm just sad I can't talk to him about anything more interesting than a marvel movie anymore

there's plenty of venues where you can find people advocating for those lifestyles, hn shouldn't be. the replies to this should be something more like "wrote my own emacs extension" or maybe like "took venture capital from some specific vc" or something...

this kind of ironic self hatred stuff is a big part of why leaving reddit is on my list...

leaving religion

leaving reddit

avoiding marriage&kids (okay actually i only bring it up cuz the default replies seemed incredibly un hacker news to me, more like boomer news "religion, marriage, kids" lol, bruh one of my college buddies is big into religion and now he is married and has a kid and he used to be almost as smart as me now he probly couldn't program his way out of paper bag)

keeping a productivity computer where I have youtube&hacker news banned via host file

sounds similar to semantic kernel

raised independent bible church/southern baptist, probably 80% fundamentalist.

Now I guess you could consider me a deist, since I think if we are going to define God as some kind of infinite extension of some aspect of humanity then God would have to be a hyper turing machine then in my estimation.

Seems like such a thing could not exist in this universe, but I do actually choose to, loosely, believe something along that line exists, but we couldn't actually interact with or understand an entity like that... on like a mathematical level we couldn't.

So I explicitly disbelieve in a personal god of any kind. There could be a demiurge but I see no reason why it would have moral authority or anything, maybe it could torture you endlessly I guess XD.

eastwind or twin oaks intentional communities

"Protecting Americans’ Privacy"

is the second top level bullet point out of 8 top level bullet points

peter norvig agrees with you

for any given dollar a middle class/poor household would be more likely to spend it on housing or additional square footage than a richer household

my suspicion would be that more equitable wealth distribution would make housing even more expensive

in some scenarious even taxing third homes could ultimately reduce the supply of housing

a land value tax on the other hand...

wish this had a better title relating to "her 1925 doctoral thesis that stars were composed primarily of hydrogen and helium"

"The biggest problem I have with this manifesto is that there's nothing actionable in it. What are we, the little people who aren't techno-elite billionaires, supposed to do now? Just wait for techno-Jesus to save us?"

maybe politics is a support vector machine and the division is the hyperplane XD
