The reason I say that it is not healthy is that it is full of misinformation and sensationalism. I get upset at reading things I know are lies or errors perpetuated through confident ignorance and end up attempting to even it out by sensationalizing the other side (and perhaps in my anger doing some of the things that annoy me). I've noticed this weird behaviour in my parents arguing with their friends about politics and for the most part I'd removed myself from that but HN brings it forth.

What is valuable about HN is that you get some real experts talking about stuff they know well and startup entrepreneurs engage here in a way that's often closer than just posting on ProductHunt, and I like talking to other people like that.

Actually, thank you for asking this question, I think it's pretty obvious at this point that I should just stop using this website. But I needed the question to be asked. Should just use that time building and spend it on my private groups.

This means I have to assign this a low-magnitude coefficient of trust (not a high-magnitude negative coefficient[1]).

That means what you're describing could well be true. I just don't know it based on who's saying it.

Healthcare is full of artificially induced shortages in America, and Americans pay for that every day with their lives. Now, that’s just slightly more obvious.

It's all about the threat model. Engineers at the company were considered trusted actors and they were the only ones permitted to connect. If that layer failed, there is no way cache invalidation errors would be the fastest way in.

These are pretty creative approaches using the built-in access control Unix has. I like it.

> When I was a child, my father often took me fishing as a way for us to get out of the house. I remember the dappled early Sunday sunlight playing across the dashboard as we drove up to the lake in our 1998 Subaru Forester, a car whose longevity is likely to be greater than mine. Subaru, as it turns out, tapped into a fundamental part of the American psyche that had, at the time, been left completely untouched out of sheer unawareness.

It makes sense. If it weren't for Facebook not having this reserve we would just be 720k short. It's not like the companies selling these would just hold inventory, especially since if you store them too long the elastic and the seal becomes weak across a large enough sample.

Fine, go ahead and say that Admiral Donitz only got away because we used Unrestricted Submarine Warfare just as much as he did. Okay. There we go. Now we're all even.
