So to avoid the problem of wealth leading to political power you create a system of secret police roughing up individual offenders. It seems to me that it's vastly more effective, simpler, and safer for everyone if we focus on preventi

Monarchies got their wealth "fair and square" within the systems of rules that we were all subject to at the time. We eventually decided that the system of rules themselves were not "fair and square" and changed them, of

Hybrid with mandatory office days also leads to massive losses. A friend recently switched to a company that announced mandatory office days and his entire team has basically left. Hybrid is the worst of both worlds, you're almost guar

Taxi services in my city already had apps that showed the price and car location, along with online payment well before Uber was allowed to operate. Uber bought it's way into the market here by losing more money than any reasonable bus

This line of argument reminds me of the news stories encouraging retirees to come back to work during the "labour shortage". The problem isn't that bored people are helping out, it's that by doing so they negatively affe

The surge pricing model sounds like a great incentive but it's also very easily exploited. Drivers that would otherwise have chosen to work full time might choose to only work during surges, ultimately reducing the total capacity of th

I dug a little further and it looks like you're correct, I had mixed up the concepts of triggers and input bindings after reading the documentation that claims: > You can mix and match different bindings to suit your needs. Bindings

Unless I'm misunderstanding your use case, Azure functions have had HTTP triggers[0] for years, the bindings documentation even calls out support for binding different trigger types to the same function. I was actually surprised that A

I don't really see the benefit of trying to diminish their level of responsibility. They chose to accept money to display ads in a particular language and made the decision to display adverts, as a publisher you have a duty to understa

I was worried about the same thing but happy to report that it's been pretty stable for me. The only stutters I've seen have been straight after alt+tabbing back into the game. I've had one crash in about 50 hours. I'm r

Maybe if Russia was a little less eager in deploying nerve agents in foreign countries the "anti-Russia propaganda" would be less effective.

They don't really disincentive the behaviour though. Dye packs are a thing, people still rob banks. People who feel they have nothing to lose don't care if they get caught either. The solution is to provide people with a decent li

I mean they could have also chosen to just stop tracking people. Getting annoyed at the fact that sites are now forced to make you aware that they're building up a profile of you seems a bit odd.

Why should any retail worker stick their neck out for a company that's probably paying them close to minimum wage?

I've always viewed the popularity of the far-right as being a result of a general sense of hopelessness that turns to resentment. Right wing media feeds off that hopelessness and apportion blame to a convenient target, one that usually

Why do you disagree? I hate these kinds of half-compromises because they feel really disingenuous. The company knows a significant proportion of their engineers want to work from home permanently and rather than giving a straight yes or no

I'm curious what other HN users think of Gitlab's pricing? I was considering Gitlab when pitching a new platform for my org but the value really didn't seem to be there when compared to Atlassian/Microsoft.
