Thank you for so succinctly summing up the sort of utterly out of touch combined with willful ignorance attitude I've come to associate with Hacker News in general.

Reading this article I'm once again struck by how, as with so many problems in the U.S. is so rare to look outside their borders to learn from what is working in other countries.

Americans seem to have an almost pathological blindness to seeking out the experience of other countries.

Owning a "summer" house?

Veganism, vegetarianism mostly. Fish oils are now certified independently by IFOS who have an excellent site showing actual tests of retail fish oils, not sure if I can link to it here but searching for "ifos certifications" will bring up the site. Mercury is not an issue for certified fish oils.

Cool but the controls are almost perfectly hard to use with a mouse. Must be intended for a finger? Being able to just click or tap on the level you want would be a huge improvement, also clicking in the center to mute it entirely.

Interesting, I was surprised to see this presented as an African American originating game as it's been widely played for generations all over Canada.

Confidently incorrect and took a lot of words to do it. Bravo!

It's surprising to me how ignorant people commenting here know about cryptocurrencies. I would have thought this group would be immune to being so confidently incorrect but once in a while a topic comes up that I know a bit more about than average and I suddenly realize the Hacker News commenters are no different than any average bunch on a Facebook group but perhaps because they are experts in their narrow field they feel it makes them an expert in any field perhaps. All the better for those of us in the know though I guess: Keep calm and HODL on!

This is complete nonsense right on the top of the page: "Those Vegan Cowboys strive for healthy products with less saturated fats, which are suitable for people with lactose intolerance. " Lactose is a sugar and has nothing to do with saturated fat. If they don't understand one of the most fundamental qualities of milk how can they ever hope to recreate it?

Apple is the new Microsoft when it comes to foot dragging, don't hold your breath.
