A two-week old perspective looking more like a 2-year old perspective.

why not? It would def help with a job search? It's not minimal effort, but AI can do a pretty good job with it as long as you feed your resume and the job description. It does make applying for each job more time consuming, but not a whole lot more.

I think that's basically the Elon playbook. He did it with the supercharger team as well at Tesla.

It doesn't say any of that.

Not everything is a vast left-wing antifa conspiracy.

vs buying frozen french fries --- which takes 10 mins on a countertop airfryer.

It's not that people don't know how to fry from fresh potato, it's just that the time it takes to do so is a lot. For restaurants especially, frozen is also just more cost-effective after accounting for labour.

Dude, ignore these people. HN has the weirdest bunch of computer nerds that hasn't taken a history class in their lives.

For everyone else, Singapore is important because it sits right at the end of the historical trade route of the Straits of Malacca. There is a whole wikipedia entry about it.

Restoftheworld typically deal with stories outside of the United States.

This is how most non-profits work. TBH, for something as widely-used as Python, everything from headcount to expenditures are extremely modest.

I think the suit points out that google does restrict choice. For pricing, Google's search dominance raises the prices of word advertising.

I don't do these things. I didn't realized that printers have CUPS server installed on them now. I find it kind of wild. Like, why?

I think the other comments still hold, Just because there are customers, it doesn't mean that you can make profit from them. Not sure what their margins are, but someone in an older comment said that Redboxes require foot traffic of 10k+. These things seem to require at a least weekly visits, restock, etc. Also been awhile since I have seen a Redbox, but do they take cash? I thought they were Credit Cards only.

other issues aside, why are people always so obsessed about what happens when "there's an emergency"? I remember 15 years ago, when unlimited-talk cellphone plans began to be price-competitive with copper-wire home phones, all these people were trying to justify having copper-wire home phone lines because of "emergencies". "What if the power went out? How would you call 911?"

I mean, that's kind of what historians have to do. They have to extrapolate. Any event that happens in the past, you kind of have to. Even in relatively recent past. But yeah, I had the same question as well.

I am sure, a Roman soldier, in the centuries that the Pilum was in use, must have used one in a thrust and either killed or injured an enemy soldier. But based on the historical evidence he has, the Pilum was intended to be and probably mostly used as a throwing weapon.

That would be like a future historian asking whether WWI soldiers used their single-bolt rifles as clubs rather than as projectile weapons.

I own one and tried it for a business trip. It's a cool nerd-toy. It's not cheap and not always easy to setup for anyone who is not technically savvy.

I like it, but I wonder if I want to carry it when I go carry-on only in Europe. I guess most people will trade some privacy and inconvience for weight- and cost-savings.

Color?

Geert Wilders has been labeled far-right for almost twenty years. And he is.

This is kinda how history of ideas work. People just kind of think they think and know things independently from within themselves or something.

Historians who study the origins of idea traces them back and make connections to thoughts and ideas of the past. Often, the inheritors of those ideas knows nothing of how they get them and think themselves clever for coming up with them all by themselves.

I get those. Just take them for what they are, low-quality recruiter messags. Maybe some of them will pan out, but most-likey, it won't.

They are probably finding you via Linkedin. If you had submitted a resume to one of them at some point, they will contact you again for a job remotely similar to something that you do.

I mean, even if that is the case, how much did Dollar Tree pay for that coffee to resell it for $1.25 per bag?

These guys said they loss $100 mil to shrinkage? Or, did I read that wrong?

Why is La Sorbonne considered to be a top school (now)? And, tbh, which of the Paris I-V is considered "La Sorbonne"?

Mostly because it is a thing that affects them (the employees). The only problems a company faces from RTO is employee dissatisfaction.

Same as saying that you need to argue why a pay raise is good for your company. I mean, it mostly doesn't. All it does is that it makes the employees happier.

I heard the same. I also asked someone who is in management. They said that they were getting a lot of feedback from exit interviews from employees with > one year of tenure who left. Many complain of feeling disconnected from their team or not know what to do.

You should read the whole story before commenting. Not just the headlines. These are people who have been making payments for 20-25 year and they are still not done paying somehow.

I worked in student loan collections a before (a long time ago). A lot of these loans are uncollectable.

"Forgiving" $39 billion in loans is very different than give people $39 billion... "Forgiveness" is just a really nice way of saying "writing off bad debts on book" for the government.

I am a regular user on Reddit and not a mod. But I have managed a very low traffic mailing list before. I cannot imagine doing it for free no matter how much ego boost I get.

So my question is, if Reddit kicks off all the mods from a sub you frequent often, and ask you to be the new mod, would you do it? And, if it is a busy enough subreddit, would you spend the time those people have been spending, to moderation?

For me, that would be no.

@Trufa - What are you typing this reply on?

There is very little use for gold in electronics. In jewellry, yes. But that's only because people in developing world see their jewellry as a form of savings. Those are the same contries where the people don't buy jewellry lower than 18k.

Nobody in North America or Europe knows how to get the fair value of gold in the crappy 14k necklaces.

USD is useful because it is a meaning unit of exchange.

It's trash. Sanction on Russia might have affected the dollar as a reserve currency. But, the author is using 2001 to compare the relative decline. Russian sanctions didn't begin until 2014 and didn't serious until last year.

Vietnam is one of the countries that trusts China the least -- despite both being communist countries.

For anyone who actually read the article, a bit context. 2001 was around when the Euro began circulating as a real curreny.
