@APatelThompson The only real world is the one where your kids play soccer. The other one is just invented by vested interests.

@APatelThompson Why do you think they’re moving apart from each other?

[John* @johnisanerd]

@APatelThompson These kinds of articles are both written by self interested parties. Of course Duolingo wants you to believe they’re the future of education, and of course Haight wants to exert control over Silicon Valley.

@vijayanands Lookin good.

The idea is that you can ask questions about your child's #SUSPENSION or #schoolfights or #schooldiscipline.

Announcing "Ask Hacker Search": find out what Hacker News thinks about any topic!

I scraped millions of Hacker News comments, made them searchable, and put LLM summaries on top.

It's made for:
- Builders who want to make better technical decisions and find the right software for their projects
- Founders and VCs who want to know what HN thinks of them and their competitors
- Anyone who trusts Hacker News for high signal insights on their favorite topics

I built this because I trust Hacker News far more than Google's SEO-gamed index for those types of searches. It's already saved me from making blind technical decisions I'd have regretted in the future.

You can try it for free now! Link in thread.

@sama A life like bowling ball, screaming software will eat the world, in a supermarket.

[History Photographed @HistoryInPics]

For a quick moment, imagine you were born in 1900. When you are 14, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday with 22 million people killed. Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until you are 20. Fifty million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million.

When you're 29, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, global GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 33. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy. When you turn 39, World War II starts. You aren’t even over the hill yet.

When you're 41, the United States is fully pulled into WWII. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war and the Holocaust kills six million. At 52, the Korean War starts and five million perish.

At 64 the Vietnam War begins, and it doesn’t end for many years. Four million people die in that conflict. Approaching your 62nd birthday you have the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, could well have ended. Great leaders prevented that from happening.

As you turn 75, the Vietnam War finally ends. Think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How do you survive all of that? A child in 1985 didn’t think their 85 year old grandparent understood how hard school was. Yet those grandparents survived through everything listed above.

Perspective is an amazing thing. With so much happening right now and as 2023 ends, let's try to keep things in perspective, knowing that we will get through all of this. In the history of the world, there has never been a storm that lasted forever. This too shall pass.

Every founder should be able to recite this pyramid off the top of their head.
