Distrust? I just dont need one. I already make an absurd amount of money, work less than 40 hours a week, and get vacation whenever i want.
Amount of code doesnt matter, what matters is the design decisions that are made
I do feel like react has won
I wonder how many people on hn can code hello world.
We are blowing it all on the stupid military when we could have been spending it on cutting edge medical research. We spend trillions blowing stuff up instead of spending trillions searching for ways to improve our health and lives.
I dont think its time to buy yet. If we have a multiple month disaster that requires quarantining most of the population the market will fall further.
How is it hypocritical for the atlantic to state this? Maybe you dont realize it but unlike China, US newspapers are not mouthpieces for the government
I pay 55 percent taxes total if that wasnt clear.
I think this article is a waste of time. Rather than using actual sources the author uses scenes from mtv highschool sitcoms to prove their point. Also the author injects their personal bias into everything.
This is hilarious, yeah in SF the 55 percent taxes i pay really do provide me great public transportation
And this sucks for the rest of the country because these people have no sepf awareness and will vote for the same dumb policies that screwed up their original homes.
Thank you, this article resonated with me.
Expect to get negative feedback and insults from the people who want praise for not trying to achieve anything great.
Only on hacker news do we have individuals wise enough to mock the perspective of someone from the 1700s that is the father of modern economic thought.

The founders of this company likely broke the law in the US
Local bureaucracy is simpler to overcome than global bureaucracy which is needed to reduce global greenhouse emissions
Do you have a source showing he is a climate change denier? I think you should provide one given that you posted this trying to attack his credibility.
we should be learning to turn every coastal city to Venice
This sounds simpler than reducing greenhouse gasses
I have thrown away several macbooks and I know several people that has too
This seems like its explicitly your problem given that apple will take and recycle your old macbooks for free if they are worthless and if they arent they will take them for a credit.
I believe disney has every advantage in the streaming wars so i decided to see if they have any open dev positions and i also decided to check what reviews of working there were like. Seems like Disney does not have an engineering culture and software engineers are at the bottom of the totem pole.
I dont want to own PGE though
Why not?
Pay your engineers 500k in a medium cost of living city and you will have the best employee retention of any company once they get used to their quality of life.
4 to 5 billion investment in a company with an 8 billion dollar valuation.
At some point you have to wonder when its better to cut your losses and scrap the entire thing.
How do you justify the statement that came from their Chinese subsidiary that states "We will firmly protect the pride of the country!"
There is hidden and overt censorship. I actually find it absurd that we allow our children to use social media software developed by a hostile foreign power.
This article isnt referencing a "general assesment", its based on a computer model that tried to simulate human behavior.
Its clear that you need to be lucky to become a billionaire but i think a more interesting question is how much luck is involved in becoming a multi millionaire.
Except, going by your anology, this would be the first time Boeings brother killed someone getting milk.
Again a false equivalence. Financial information is already protected by numerous regulations. We are talking about generic cookies that are being used for tracking user behavior for a large number of useful and benign purposes. Most of the data is already pseudonymous.
Freedom of speech includes the right to spread the truth about others. The "right" to be forgotten is the right to silence others.
