I think this is a major (the only?) reason these internet companies are even successful. Because they just ignore all these costs that don’t scale well that ordinary companies should have.
They need to. Honestly we need a way to completely segregate Chinese and Russian networks off, as well as anyone who peers with them. They are using our open networks to brazenly attack us in broad daylight… it’s time…
This is my take. Consciousness is overrated and probably just an emergent phenomena of the brain processing external stimuli into memory, moving memories around, etc etc, in a continuous and never ending flow. Free will…
I feel like this announcement could use a more clear summary of the key point at the top. It sounds like Remix will be discontinued and anyone using it will need to upgrade to React Router? Is that not going to be super…
They do. My wife lost her 10-year-old Instagram account to a well crafted phishing attack against an email she had published… Instagram/Meta’s customer support is absolutely atrocious and disgraceful on this front. They…
Really? When I first saw it I understood it must have to do with changing languages.
I don’t think anyone is trying to pass an exam here, but just give an understandable overview to a general audience.
I’m betting they’ve turned on some AI “features” for detecting fraud and it’s not working out as well as promised.
Because Meta and Google are weaponized by a dictatorship? How can people really be so blind to the enormous threat posed by allowing hostile dictatorships unfettered access to our eyeballs and devices within our own…
I’m not so sure about that. I would say Chinese society values the family… people don’t really give a shit about others outside of family or friends. My feeling on Japan is that they value their society and country much…
I wouldn’t call most of those Amazon, FB, YouTube etc, people the actual smart people either. They’re mostly just lucky. What made Facebook or YouTube successful over any other competitor? Just luck that their design…
You haven’t mentioned what kind of laptop they own. Everyone I know who owns MacBooks uses them for: photography editing, video editing, graphic design, programming.
Honestly, no it doesn’t. Google pays creators a pittance and their practices around copyright and monetization are beyond exploitative. Most creators make their money from sponsorships and stealth marketing, product…
People “freak out” for good reason. People need to understand just how insidious the communist party’s methods are.
I'm also living in central Taipei, this one woke me up, we felt really strong shaking in our flat on the 4th floor. Some tiles fell off the buildings on my street but otherwise everyone is fine. Right after the quake…

Just be careful it doesn’t invent some new tax laws in the process.
Probably because it’s crypto-based (blockchain) and required a $5 sign up fee to join… so it’s mostly attracted crypto folks.
This has nothing to do with your right to view content. Your right to view whatever content you like does not give foreign dictatorships the right to manipulate and attack our societies. If HN was under the control of…
I’m living in Asia and when I need to fly I’ll just buy a meal at 7-Eleven or Family Mart to bring on the flight. It’s amazing how these convenience stores can make good quality food so cheap but the airlines somehow…

I would say it’s because the Haskell community is too arrogant and pretentious. I love the language and worked with it professionally for over a year, but I can’t stand everything around the developer experience and…
