I would go even further and say that a stationary bike behaves quite differently than a moving bicycle. There’s side to side/rocking motion, slippage at the wheels, geometry in turns etc. A stationary bike is incredibly…
I know it's a luxury that I'm in a position to do this, but anyway: in general I won't continue interviewing with a company that expects me to put in significant effort into just preparing for the interview. Make a full…
I'm sorry but the claim is YouTube just randomly deletes channels with no notification? And they do it in order to suppress... Whatever this was? That seems remarkably unlikely. The whole article is extremely thin on…
One of the things I find fascinating about lasers is their history is an excellent instructional tool for how science copes with things it doesn't understand. When lasers were invented, we didn't know how they worked. A…
Why is pooh—poohing the premise of an article without offering anything other than cynicism in vogue on HN these days? The post makes pretty clear what “the problem with this is”: among other things, most notably Apple…
This is a nightmare in so many respects. I can’t believe my ability to run software on my own machine requires successful network calls. I spent two hours today thinking my hardware was failing catastrophically.
I tried to explain this to my wife once. Easy to say I should take a break or not be so hard on myself but if I screw up neither of us have food or a home. There is no other option.
As someone who joined and then departed the management track fairly recently, there’s another aspect here that’s not mentioned, but contributed to my finding other work: as what I’ll politely call social awareness has…
This is absolutely bog-standard anti-union propaganda. This could have been written in the 1960s.
This is an unfathomably uninformed comment that seems mostly driven by animus against military strength than anything else.
You’re sarcastically mocking politicians in a democracy doing what their constituents want?
Ok this is now the fourth day in a row this is getting pushed to the front page. The first three times it was the WSJ article over and over again, now we get recycled articles about the exact same report. It’s debunked…
Ugh your response reminds me so much of Google PR speak at TGIFs and such that it's hard for me to believe you don't work for Google. This is exactly the picture Google PR has been trying to create for years - years, by…
You do realize that that’s the vast majority of buying power and economic success right? At least in terms of population.
Google, and a few other major tech companies, have turned diversity into a religion. It’s insane. We spend more time talking about it than anything technical or organizational. There is no dialogue about it either, just…
Which is the plain English reading that people who insist on being offended refuse to recognize.
I would argue that at this point unbridled skepticism is reasonable.
Spoken by someone with no experience with things like ISO and SOC2 certification. Go ahead and try to explain to your auditors this year how all your internal controls around privilege escalation and separation of…
Which is precisely why Firefox is releasing an update that tweaks high resolution timing. I guess tweaks probably means breaks for some uses cases but that’s likely unavoidable and worth it.
I have a hard time believing all visible public figures in government don’t get death threats literally every day on average, in just the normal course of doing business, at least electronically. This is a pathetically…
None. This is great news. America is not helped at all by a foreign company owning a money transfer service, although I expect to see an avalanche of market worshippers saying how this is actually bad because markets…
I feel like we all actively participate in the relentless effort to pretend we don’t need humans for anything but consumption - or if we do need them they just need to have beating hearts and functioning lungs, no…
And right on schedule the HN comment pooh-poohing the very thesis of the article with little more than snark to offer as evidence.
There’s also no choice or incentive to improve.
Those movies came out around 30 years ago. The first one came out while Reagan was president. We don’t really make mainstream movies like that anymore.
