I’m sorry, but you are mistaken.

My name is Josh.

Hey! I’ve been working on this for 2-3 weeks.

I don’t have anything formal to add.

Both my parents were drug addicts, lived separately, beat me, and didn’t pay for my college. Dad was in jail.

I am Hispanic and was lucky enough to go to the University of Chicago. I did do very well in school, nearly perfect scores with tons of extracurriculars, but I never knew if I belonged.

By the end of my college experience, I did just as well as anyone else in my university, and I have a good job and met lovely and supportive people.

I don’t know if I got in because of affirmative action, but if I did, it has forever changed my life

I just want to say thank you for doing this. Please tell your community to do this too. I really struggled hearing such things in college.

It’s crazy to say, but I think not hearing what was “obvious” would have helped me excel more in my classes.

How do you do this? How do you make money to survive?

One way I've been managing this is by reading summaries of certain books. While it can be difficult to decide which books deserve a full read, this approach has significantly reduced the stress I feel about my ever-growing "to-read" pile. By focusing on the most important ideas and insights, I can still learn and grow without feeling the pressure to read every single book on my list.

I urge fellow HN members to take a stand against this proposal by informing others, participating in public debates, and reaching out to their representatives in the EU Parliament. Let's work together to protect our democratic values and the future of the internet as we know it.

Just finished reading this insightful article, and it resonates with my recent experience backpacking through Chile. I've been amazed by the slower pace of life here, where people seem to prioritize relationships, leisure, and hobbies over chasing career goals and constantly striving for efficiency. It's refreshing to see communities that embrace the idea of enjoying the present moment rather than being fixated on a future that never really arrives.

As someone in the tech industry, it's easy to get caught up in the productivity treadmill, trying to maximize every moment of our finite lives. But this article is a stark reminder that there's more to life than just work and chasing success. Instead of focusing solely on efficiency, we should actively choose what truly matters to us, like personal connections, health, and happiness.

Chile has taught me that embracing a slower pace and appreciating the present can lead to a more fulfilling and content life. It's a lesson we can all benefit from, especially in our fast-paced, efficiency-obsessed world. Let's not forget that life is a series of choices, and it's up to us to prioritize what truly matters.

It’s worth noting that these large-scale projects, like the Long Baseline Neutrino Facility and Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, are incredibly complex and have no real historical precedent. The sheer scale and ambition of these endeavors make it nearly impossible to accurately predict timelines and budgets.

It's easy to criticize Fermilab for cost overruns and delays, but we must remember that they are pushing the boundaries of scientific knowledge and technology. The nature of cutting-edge research means that there will always be unknowns and challenges that cannot be anticipated.

This ruling against the Internet Archive really rubs me the wrong way. IA has been a godsend for countless students, researchers, and knowledge enthusiasts across the globe. Sure, they might've pushed the boundaries of fair use, but isn't that how progress and innovation happen?

It's disheartening to see that the court sided with big publishers, who are already raking in considerable profits, instead of considering the broader implications of IA's mission to democratize access to knowledge. In a world where information is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few, IA is one of the few bastions of hope for more equitable access to books and resources.

I worry about the chilling effect this decision could have on other projects aiming to push the envelope in terms of digital content distribution. Are we just going to hand over our collective knowledge to the highest bidder?

I get the need to protect copyright holders, but this ruling feels like a step back for the open access movement and the democratization of knowledge. We need more innovative solutions to bridge the digital divide, not less.

I mean, it could be like that, but you won’t know until you try it.

Of course, this will come off as reactionary, but I gotta say it.

I don’t understand the logic behind the Supreme Court. How can such a tiny group of people, until the day they die, that weren’t appointed by the people, make decisions that affect all of human society?

Seems so anti-democratic to me.

I’m sorry, but most of this is gibberish to me.

How did you learn about all this? Would you be kind enough to go into more depth? I’m curious.

Your comments also gave me my daily reminder of how little I know (in the best way)

I also recommend learning to skip the filler words and really get the main points of the text that you’re trying to read.

I really tried to read everything in college, but I just couldn’t, and neither did a lot of my peers. I still learned a ton by learning the main ideas, through internet summaries, through discussions with my friends, and discussions in the classroom.

Don’t be so hard on yourself and continue to learn :)

Good luck!

This happened to me too. I went to speak to a school doctor, got diagnosed with ADHD, and started taking adderall when I needed to for class.

It’s at least worth a shot. It has been huge for me and many others.

I have ADHD, so reading is painstakingly slow. I still want to and enjoy reading, though, so I have also looked for ways to improve my reading speed.

I’ve tried for years, and ultimately it has come at the detriment of reading comprehension and my enjoyment.

I am actively in the process of reading books lovingly. I am trying not to care how long it takes me to get through a book, and to just enjoy what I’m reading. It’s tough, but has improved the experience for me.

Guitar hero but I can plug in my real guitar. Or piano.

If I spent all the time learning guitar hero songs that I spent on a real guitar, that would be awesome

This is a great example of how you can still tell a unique story with music.

To strengthen this even further, there are scales that span over 16 (?) notes in Southeast Asia.

There are many different scales. There are different instrumentations. There are different arrangements. There are different dynamics, tempos, etc.

It really is infinite.
