On: New York Now Has More Airbnb Listings Than Apartme...

[uuee]

Correct... NY needs much more apartments/citizens. Supply/demand.

Women have it very good... it's men that are oppressed.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck all the way off with this take, my dude.

On: Human genetic engineering is coming

[uuee]

A book on this subject:

The Revolutionary Phenotype: The amazing story of how life begins and how it ends

Different groups have different goals though. e.g. smart chess opponents.

On: Amid a Worsening Formula Shortage, Mothers Are Ask...

[uuee]

Nuance: Many women choose not to breast feed (e.g. wanting to go back to work or for reasons of convenience, etc).

As family structure in Western countries weakens -- generational knowledge/support etc about these topics isn't passed on.

It would be interesting to compare formula use in more traditional countries vs the western ones.

Of humans and their performance.

Just wait for the brain chips.

On: Ask HN: Why doesn't HN have tags/filters?

[uuee]

He is one of those "the rule is the rule; repeat mantra" type of people. If libraries didn't have the Dewey tagging system he would be saying the same thing about them. Thanks for the lobster link.

[turtledove → uuee]

Not he.

Also, because tags are functionally the same as subreddits. I come to HN because I want to be surprised and because I know we're all experiencing the same content.

If we let people subdivide into clades, HN changes its character, and becomes a place where posters show up only for a particular class of content and don't engage with other classes.

HN works, imo, because we're all sharing the space together.

>I come to HN because I want to be surprised and because I know we're all experiencing the same content.

That's great for you... many people don't share your view though. Why do you want to force them to share your views. Why not let people interact with HN how they want to? If you're not interested in debugging C compilers why should you be forced to read those posts?

>HN works, imo, because we're all sharing the space together.

This is an illusion. At least 80% of people here skip 80% of the posts.

>The availability or non-availability of tagging on any platform has nothing to do with the quality or usefulness of the content.

It does if there is an ocean of info and you miss posts.

>tagging is mostly useless because there needs to be a canonical dictionary of tags to choose from

Wrong. Tagging is simply solved on many existing platforms and is extremely useful.
