Businesses, especially big businesses, are just people with a problem. The nice thing is they’re not spending their personal money so they’re more flexible. If you want to take over their billing system, that is a huge project and will ta

It sounds like you believe in “overnight success” which only exists via lottery tickets (with similar odds). I spent 10 years of weekend and evenings before my product sales could support me comfortably full time. That was a single project

You might want to take a look at PA File Sight. It’s been doing something sort of like this for many years.

Does it matter? I also like it when my finances “are in the black” as opposed to “in the red”. I don’t know a ton of African Americans, but I have talked with some of them about this. Although they definitely experience racism, none of t

Isn’t the American midwest considered the default? Maybe you mean the deep south?

I like the term whitelist, but feel excluded by the pressure you are applying. This can go as deep as you want…

Surely it will take more than the few hours the platform has been open for these groups to form? “And don’t call me Shirley!” :)

The article is pretty light on details. Does anyone have any specific information about this? Me drives seem slow too, but I might just be impatient.

There is a difference between pushing and sharing or discussing.

There’s a huge difference between not being mean and actively pushing a view point (be it cultural, emotional or political).

It has external USB and ethernet ports, and showed some additional power ports available inside.

It’s OK. From what I’ve read, nobody actually knows how it works. I mean we know we have layers and weights, but how those emit what looks like intelligence is not understood by anyone.

What if it’s a small company with 10 employees? Shutting down their lively shouldn’t just get swept under the rug.

Well, he did things more brazenly and on a bigger stage than anyone before him, and got away with it. Big numbers of people noticed.

Imagine your “trusted third party” is or becomes a dictator, who logs all signed keys. This doesn’t solve anything I’m afraid.

In 20-30 years when Gen Z is the backbone of the working economy, what is it supposed to look like? Will there be doctors and lawyers? Specialist engineers and experts in various fields? Somebody needs to be working and learning now to h

Just saw this article. The guy isn’t doing anything illegal per se, but I would call him dishonest and say he is cheating both companies with his approaches. Few people could work two jobs without needing to apply these techniques. https

I really like it. I keep source code, 3rd party libraries, images, binary build output and installers. I can easily go back and debug and crash a customer ever sees because I have all the binaries and debugging files.

So people like the guy with two jobs should be fired if management was better. And more employee surveillance is needed to help managers do their jobs better. The other option is integrity and trust.

I’m not sure I agree. Our industry isn’t full of people that have more integrity than the general population, and “your problem for hiring the wrong people” is short sighted, or even victim blaming. I’ll share this recent HN post: https:

Wait until you’re older. I felt similarly, but now (MANY years later) look at pictures of younger me and think I was actually handsome. You might be surprised one day to experience the same thing.

That sounds like everything to do with the thing at hand to me. We wish everyone had the awesome perfect parents. That’s never going to happen. And even kids with great parents fall into the traps you mentioned above. All the things abo

It’s probably not a net gain though (I guess?). Money not spent on weed would probably be spent on something else and taxed, unless we’re assuming nearly all money spent on legal weed would have been spent on illegal weed (maybe true??)

Porn is very addictive to many people (Reddit has some great posts by many people trying to break free) - anything that gives you a huge dose of dopamine for little effort can be dangerous to someone’s life (not medically dangerous, but cer

I fear banking would become like government run healthcare or health insurance. I’m not quite sure what it would look like, but it wouldn’t be great.
