You are very right in terms of the dangers cops face. But somehow, all this reminds me of: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/immune-sn...
But we got to find a way to break this escalatory cycle?
Re:Ask HN: Has anyone gotten complete, permanent relief from tinnitus?

I found out about my Tinnitus the most embarrassing way - my wife and we were admiring the relative quietness of the place we were living in, until I freaking
blurted out - "but for vibrations of the universe"......
Ever since, it becomes worse, when I read a posting on HN about the subject and it slowly fades away into the background of tolerability. I now view the vibrations as Universe's gift to me :)

I was hoping to see the IKEA bag as well when I clicked on the link. Slightly disappointed :(

"The financial institutes like banks, shadow banks, investment funds, etc have lost huge amount of money"
My understanding of the core problem is - Money has to come from somewhere. It is the result of China becoming world's workshop. Chinese have 45%+ saving rate and those powered up the FIs' balance sheets. This money funded all the buying of land rights, development of housing etc. How Chinese govt. deals with these toxic balance sheets before Chinese people decide to make a run for the banks, that will determine how this crisis unfolds. Ultimately there never is free lunch, unless you are the US which can print it's way out of any problem it creates for itself - what times!
(be aware - the comment is by some anonymous guy on the Internets. Its most value maybe as a 'mildly entertaining conjecture'.

Kindness. You carry hurt in you. Try not to carry that burden.
Re:How to Produce Green Hydrogen for $1/Kg – Terraform Industries Blog
on Thursday August 17, 2023 @03:05AM (#37158202)
The main "breakthrough" the article seems to be pivoted on is: sacrificing efficiency of electrolyzer brings the capex down by and order of magnitude, thus making $1/Kg hydrogen possible. The whole downstream (to H2) value chain is a different economic argument, relevant to how they want the future to be.

I guess you won't really come across all the cynical stuff till you become an engagement manager.

(there are 300+ comments and I have only skimmed)
Q: Is there not a single (former) bully who is reading it who can share why they did what they did?
Being a short guy and a motormouth, I got bullied aplenty (perhaps beaten up is the correct word), but I want to believe that it didn't leave any long-term effects. But then I do have a short fuse and I procrastinate like there's always a tomorrow. So maybe, my self-analysis is all wrong.
