Sorry, as cool as I find it from a mechanical perspective, I can never approve of vinyl.

From the perspective of an amateur DJ and dedicated dancer, vinyl never really died in the underground dance scene, whether talking about the UK dubscene or German techno.

And as much as I love and respect vinyl DJs, the medium itself is often used to make vinyl exclusive releases (looking at you UK), gatekeeping the music literally, make the runs limited and super exclusive, and obviously super expensive.

Not to mention it makes little sense, musically, to put a digitally produced track on an analog medium. Collecting old music on vinyl is one thing, getting all your new music (produced on Abelton) as vinyl is just silly to me. Again, completely understand why vinyl only DJs do it.

To me vinyl is totally contrary to the DIY culture of underground dance music, and I simply won't buy any new vinyl (not to say DJ culture is DIY, but techno culture for example really is at its core punk DIY).

I would much rather the producer just made a shirt instead of a special deluxe vinyl edition for the super fans with too much money (and the couple of vinyl only DJs that will buy it). I'd rather spend that money on more new music, that I can own as FLAC forever.

And I would REALLY like if all the old vinyls were professionally ripped and sold by their labels. Because sooner or later they WILL all disappear, which I guess if you're a collector/secretive DJ is a good thing... Really shocking that a lot of this old music can only be found in good quality on Youtube rips. Yes, better than if you were able to dig out a 30 year old record in a store.

Well here's an economic application without nuclear tipped warheads.

Maybe in hacker news reality, not in the real world.

Meanwhile every MacOS thread is filled with people complaining how everything is broken and only getting worse.

Not that I'd know, I've probably seen <10 apple laptop devices in my life and never used one.

If it makes you feel any better, I don't think that's the case in most of the non English speaking world.

Mostly we're just called programmers.

Sounds like you never properly understood what "back-breaking work" really means.

Try doing bending down and picking heavy stuff up, for 8 hours a day, every working day.

Art without human intent behind it, is simply not art.

35 miles per week is low milage.

10 miles per day would be more appropriate for someone aiming for a marathon.

If you eat real food and not "frapachino" (whatever that is) it can be pretty hard to eat enough food to keep your weight, without stomach issues.

No, I don't run that much. But many people do even more.

What are the moral downsides of pirating a game you can't buy anywhere?

Care to mention one?

The idea of people talking to LLMs in this way genuinely disturbs me.

Tha fact that he just shuffled around the letters of his own name for the fake economist is simply amazing.

Brave new world.

Getting so tired of HN, every thread has these kinds of vague, ignorant, semi-political comments. Just a throwaway opinion with some unrelated quote to appear smart, not related to the posted link, nothing added to the discussion.

The Suez Crisis happened 70(!) years ago, the article is talking about where modern day UK spends its money. It's literally right there in the opening sentence, if you only bothered to open it:

Britain is a rich country with the world’s 6th largest economy and the highest tax income for decades, which raises a simple question - why do we seem so broke?

Aside from strictly technical topics, this community is now worse than Reddit.

Are we factoring in digital/service trades?

???

Of course not. The entire time Trump is railing against the deficit, he's talking only about goods. He wants to bring back manufacturing to America, didn't you hear?

No one asked him this shit on the campaign trail?

You should understand what putting a word in quotes means, regardless of internet memes.

Yeah but it makes you sound like an asshole, same as constantly talking about punching people.

hey’d see kids after dark at the school and just assume we were up to no good.

That sounds totally crazy to me, did these people get into any trouble or fined for just calling the police like that? I assume you're american, in my eastern european country they would NOT be happy about getting called 5 times for this...

Autism simply got tied up with entitlements and the diagnosis has been grossly abused as a lever to get access to said entitlements

I just love when narrowminded Americans (I would wager 1000$ that the poster is from that country) assume the thing that happens in their city/state/country is a worldwide phenomenon with the rest of us 8 billion people.

And even better writing in this snarky obfuscating style so the rest of us don't have a clue what they're talking about. Entitlements???

In my (EU) country talking about your mental issues is simply not done, let alone your actual diagnosis.

100% utterly wrong, people with ADHD are A LOT more likely to get addicted and stay addicted.

This is clinical data NOT open for discussion.

Blows my mind that people think medical data is a topic for discussion where your opinion matters.

At least ss is an acceptable and widley understood replacement for ß.

My last name end on "ić" so every time, even on many EU shops and websites, I get to choose if I want to write my name wrong with "ic" and definitley get the package(cause the post understands) or write my name properly and get my package in 90% of cases.

Its just plain weird that a Spanish/French/UK online shop will support their weird characters but not full Unicode.

I find it really difficult to imagine how are people OK with bringing new children into this world, I don't even live in a particulary poor or horrible country.

Somehow all of our education and technology has resulted in everything being as basic and cheap as possible.

Yeah, because housing poor people is a greater priority nowdays, as opposed to builind palaces.

Sometimes when I see pictures of old buildings I can't help but notice that it seems like everything used to be so much fancier than it is now.

Here's some houses in Poland 100 years ago. Looks fancy eh?

How come companies like TSMC can't build their own machines?

Why should they be able to?

Is there really only one company in the world that has the required skills?

Yes, they invested for decades into R&D for EUV lithography.

Or is it only because of patents and exclusivity agreements?

No, they have a multi billion dollar and decade long lead.

It makes much more sense to try and pour money into a next generation manufacturing technology and work on it. Easier said then done.

Raped to death? Burned alive?

Huh? I honestly thought this was the normal way to park. I guess parking spaces are big enough in america that you don't need it.

I'd say it's actually pretty typical of corporations operated by global investment groups.

No, the west didn't "push" eastern European kleptocrats into stealing everything in the privatisation drives, they didn't need any outside encouraging.

Its really disconcerning how many people simply assume that small nations have no agency whatsoever. It's this kind of thinking that births ideas about Russian/American zones of influence around Europe and similar very dangerous antiquated nonsense.

It need to die.

Great recommendations. I would also add Strange Horticulture and Cultist Simulator to the list.

Yeah that's the whole reason why subs are shutting down. Because the mods care, even if their users don't.

People spray herbicides around their lawn in America? Around their place of living? Bizarre.
