So like SPAs with the JS bundle today?


"But in this case, it's a private corporation. It can censor what it wants" - average HN reply

You should blame Mike.


One fuck seems appropriate.


So your solution to loneliness is “use voice chat”?


And if they do, there’s VPN


> As a non-toxic and extremely moral male biological specimen, I’ll just note that attaching moral failure to the male gender category feels oddly out of step with modern norms around inclusivity. It’s as vile and disgusting as referring to a person by the wrong pronoun.

This would read like satire in most places besides HN


Going on a spaceship is probably safer than driving a car.


Per mile, sure.

Per launch? I think the "everyone died" rate is about, what, 1.2% of crewed launches?


Not a good sales pitch for commercial space flights


While I’m confident we will probably have large scale commercial spacecraft in my lifetime, I suspect I will be long retired by then. I’m 31.

We need a decade of accident free autonomous launches before humans will line up in mass to visit space like a Carnival Cruise.


Don't dismiss the yearning for space/new frontiers/adventure that a lot of us have. If you offered tickets to the moon today for the price of a cruise, you would probably have people standing in line from Cape Canaveral to Tallahassee.


Being an astronaut is about 50x more risky than riding in a car


You know what they say: the most dangerous part of space flight is the car ride to Cape Canaveral.


Over what time period?


“Asking inquisitive questions and thinking for themselves? Must be an anti-vaxxer!”


Yeah, can anyone else that does this explain what the point is? Genuinely curious.


1. I have always loved learning things, both big and small. 2. I enjoy trivia competitions. 3. I'm interested in human memory more generally. 4. I think that spaced repetition software could be a lot better, and I'm trying to make such software. So when I study, I'm also getting the value of using and improving my own software.


I’ve thought about using spaced repetition myself. I have ADHD and I tend to forget about things I’ve learned. There are certain skills or hobbies I enjoy doing that benefit from knowing things, and i just want to better remember things I already learned.

For example, maybe I read a book that has a really key insight about how my brain works with ADHD. I’m not going to remember or apply that insight to my life unless I spend some time trying to remember it. By default it’s not going to stick for very long.


It's likely to be worth trying! Good luck.
