I’m not a big fan of Elon Musk, but this is just the typical executive talking up their product and to some extent being overly optimistic about timelines. You’d think with the quantity of software engineers in HN this would be obvious, but

Ah yet another reason for people to flee the nanny state.

No, it's the morons who pick a technology (in this case DynamoDB) without understanding it is the wrong tool for the job at hand, leaving the rest of us holding the bag for years on end for their poor choice of tools.

If Europe invested more in their militaries they could dictate their own terms with their neighbors.

DynamoDB is great if you want to fork over a lot of money to AWS on a monthly basis. It's inability to allow you to query on arbitrary attributes/fields without creating a separate index (i.e. copy of the entire collection) is mi

Screen Time (iOS), and teach them to think for themselves. It really depends on what kind of personality your kid(s) have too. Our son is a rule-follower, so it's generally not an issue once he gets past the initial annoyance of not

Every time you try to right a wrong like this (DEI), it just makes things worse for everyone involved. Just find the best person for the job, no matter their skin color, sex, age, etc.

If I had to kill animals to eat meat, I would have zero problem doing so. You’re free to make your own choices, but you’re not going to change anyone’s stance on eating meat with your arguments. Get off your high horse.

As an American born to European immigrant parents I can assure you that the grass is not always greener on the other side. All systems have problems. I say this as the parent of a child with a chronic illness (t1d) who is extremely frustrat

Being a thermostat is fucking exhausting. My wife and I are the equivalent of a thermostat for our type 1 diabetic son's blood sugar. It's in our face 24/7.
