It does if they bring all aspects of their traditional culture with them. Do you want tribalism gaining a stronger foothold in US?

As a native English speaker, I'm having a lot of trouble parsing your comment.

Why is rail pushed so hard in place of roads?

Roads - lots of things other than trains can use them. Vehicles of all sizes can be scaled up and down to meet demand. Way less money. Way easier to respond to unexpected line breakages.

Or even better, throw all that money that would be going to rail to eliminate short haul to electric airplane research and subsidising - far more useful to everyone in the EU rather than just those who happen to live near and want to travel between 2 major cities(which I presume is a requisite for the high speediness)

Who the hell is investing in this? When/what's the return going to be?

An entire site that depends on mostly reposting someone elses copyrighted material.

Reddit's funding (for what it is), is something out of the dotcom era.

Imagine a car wash not allowing me to wash my blue car because someone robbed a bank in one of the same color.

What a bad analogy.

telling people to contact their ISPs about this, when it's so obvious that the problem is on Netflix's end

They are telling them to contact their ISP because either their ISP directly or the ISPs customers(or the person complaining) are using the ISPs IP addresses to circumvent geo restrictions.

So, I'd wager it's more likely the person/the persons household themselves have either wittingly or unwittingly been using something(e.g. Hola VPN) which enables others to proxy through their home IP (& vice versa)

Plenty of Irish software developers -- they also leave Ireland and found companies in other countries like Stripe.

Geez, the smarminess in this comment - unreal.

2 students who graduated secondary school went to college in usa, lived in usa and started a company called stripe. they were college students who dropped out.

The product is at least 2 years old (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19845607)

Judging by all the comments on the thread, seems really buggy for something that old.

Saying that "oh, arab countries should take them" is beyond brutal, it's barbaric.

It's really not, so it's quite irrational to include that level of hyperbole to make your point emotionally loaded rather than factual.

Afghanistan is bordered by Pakistan and Iran - both countries which are a helluva lot more culturally and religiously aligned with the majority of Afghans.

every country, including my own, that has participated in military excurisions in the middle east in the last 30 years has created this crisis for themselves

This is nonsense. Religious fundamentalism & oppression of the populace has created this situation - both of which were aided & abetted by (you guessed it) Iran & Pakistan. Both countries are the biggest funders of the religious fundamentalists as well as offering state level support and safety for those leaders.

When I was 15, I had nudes of a 17 year old

Did you have those nudes with the consent & permission of the 17 year old in question?

Is there more to this story than you are letting on?

We got a big bang for the seat belt. But backup cameras cost around $5.7 million dollars in cost for every one life saved.

Where does that figure come from?

Car sellers don't sell OEM cameras at cost. They have a ridiculous markup (between 5x & 10x and yes that includes certification & testing). Your $500 dollar reverse cam is cost at ~$50.

By mandating them, the 'luxury!' margin will magically disappear.

free of idiot rednecks

Hurling racist slurs

Hmmmmm...irony

As it stands, in Los Angeles, median one-bedroom seems to be about $2,362/month, and a minimum wage job there, before taxes only pays $2,462 per month.

Never been to Los Angeles so correct me if I'm wrong but is Los Angeles a small town or is a massive, sought-after city with a ~4 million population and ~18 million greater-area population?

But this fantasy scenario is really quite unlikely

Based on what exactly. The delta variant was unlikely. The COVID-19 was unlikely. I think I'll back governments taking precautions against the possible rather than somebody thinking it's a fantasy(def: the faculty or activity of imagining impossible or improbable things) scenario, ignoring the last 18 months of world life.

so, "144KB over the network" - how much does that equate to in memory?

And that's per page where the search has been activated, correct? With no sharing of that dataset between each page?

"troublesome teen" is a wide-ranging gamut.

Was he putting other people in danger? What actions was he doing that caused the police to get involved?

Great that he's happy now but would he have continued down a more dangerous path if left to his own devices?

Let me know when you can do proper software engineering, with unit/integration tests and deterministic performance testing/scaling on them.

A previous company forced devs to switch/add a no/low-code tool. We were given 3 to evaluate: dell boomi/mulesoft/some other crap.

Most devs were gone within 6 months of that mandate coming in to effect.

Horrible, immature, limiting tools.

Do you think the A team devs are building these no-code tools after their initial prototype? No, they're being farmed out to design and development by middling product managers and devs - which never ends well.

We need a, open source, community driven, no-code tool.

What is with the obsession of devaluing technical skills so that non-technical business users can increase their profit?

Charge for your cost saving/tech-enabling tools.

Stop devaluing tech.

Anything about making their workplace less coder hostile?

Open plan office - great for sales, HR, marketing and reassuring insecure managers/leaders/CEOs they have worth - not so great for people who need to concentrate hard to solve hard problems and write good code.

clickbait nonsense headline. article even contains the truth:

In collaboration with local telecommunication companies, people were sent from door to door to physically unplug the infected routers and put them out of commission.

it's a piss take of Irish country life and a very affectionate one. I grew up in Belfast, spent a lot of time visiting relatives on farms in Donegal.

The cup of tea thing isn't a rural Irish phenomenon. It's a widespread thing that would happen in pretty much every house in every (at least ROI) Irish rural/village/town/city.

Exactly. If he didn't thank them, he would have been in headlines for not thanking them. Same shitty people attacking over anything. Lots of times and reasons to attack Bezos. This is not one of them.

That doesn't make much sense. You would still be on the hook for the eventual bill. This sounds like a showerthought hashtag lifehack.

You are delusional.

Everybody everywhere should ignore anyone that publishes content on forbes.com/sites

Another more sensible declaration.

You ever lived in a condo or do you mean build condos for other people?

Long Overdue.

It made Irish cuisine bearable

Wow, what condescension.

Just dump some sugar and processed cheese on your food and you should feel right at home!
