What does HN think of Stacker News?
I find it a little entertaining a HN clone is a bitcoin community. Many posts on HN filter to SN because there is a large overlap, both audiences are educated technologist crowds. (SN)[https://stacker.news/]

Mistakes with software installation can take seconds to make but days to repair... At least that has been my experience at times. Go slow when the circumstances call for caution.

Could you comment on if you think there is a natural analogue out there? Even if less effective? For example a quick google search led me to this: https://www.nutraingredients-usa.com/Article/2017/12/01/Ashw...
Which is suggesting Ashwagandha might a candidate for Rapamycin and Metformin mimcry.

Great Idea. I can see there is room for monetization too. Although ads are distracting, they could work as occasional in a room. Also, if it caught on, this could join the likes of leetcode...Ppl would pay for this b/c peer learning can be far more efficient or at least engaging. I can certainly see leetcode wanting to copy this idea.
This already has something over twitch which is sort of similar but not interactive. Also, I could see fb ads as quite effective to keep organic traffic up and help this catch on as a competitive way to get a job. You could even market the data you gain to companies looking to hire.
Ask HN: Why is Mac still easy to backdoor?
This link describes the process: https://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/how-to/hacking-macos-configure-backdoor-anyones-macbook-0184637/What I don't understand and why I'm asking this is, why isn't this patched? Should this be patched? What possible value or reason is there for it to be so easy to hack a mac not using filevault?It appears that a firmware password prevents this problem. If this is...
Ask HN: Are computers listening/recording when off?
Edward Snowden in an interview with MSNBC on Sept. 17th 2019 says computers are listening and recording video even when off. Ed also says he desolders his mic and camera (and plugs in a mic when necessary).If this really is happening, would engineers working on Android & Apple phones be aware of this? And if they are aware, are there posts stating this on HN?
Ask HN: Why is HN so aggressively anti-Bitcoin?
Two articles on the front page right now, both littered with negative comments. Google invested in Chainlink recently, is HN anti Chainlink/Blockchain? In other words, are there any blockchains that HN (generally speaking) has a positive opinion of?

I make allot of noise and flap my arms but ultimately, unless I'm feeling generous, all I do is make it worse, or marginally less worse. The truth imo is that we are bit players and the real players are destroying the planet as fast as possible for reasons unknown.
It's not true everyone had to react to it, many of the ppl. who have the power have a fatalististic attitude or just don't care
What is the MIT style of teaching calculus?
I recently heard from a student at my college that the teacher I'll be taking for Integral Calculus mentions from time to time, "I teach Calculus the MIT style." Can anybody tell me what that means?

Here we are on a forum with highly educated ppl. talking about what's happening. But what should we do to effect change? It seems to me that some way for us to unite our efforts in some modern internet/technology/mass-communication kinda way might help us break through the barriers to actually making progress. I honestly don't know what that looks like, but I believe if even the ppl. on this thread were able to band together effectively to work on this problem that is whatever-it-is-our-worlds-become I would have hope. I don't know what this "solution" looks like though. A website? A forum? A technology of some form? Unfortunately, I don't think anyone else knows either :(

Ask HN: Do I have to lie to get first tech job?
I've graduated college (Philosophy, 3.2 GPA), done some various projects on Github (Using Go, JS, & Python), networked with friends, but the problem I keep finding is my resume. People express interest in hiring me, check out my Github, but then give me the fade once they see my resume. I feel like it's a catch-22: I can't get experience until I've gotten experience. I thought my Github...

This is the coolest thing I've seen in a minute! Instantly exciting and it really works. I'm using this to explore old books I've read and forgotten parts of. Really fun to relive those special moments from fantasy and sci fi I've read over the years. Also this is an alternative to my experience at bookstores where I thumb through interesting books.
