Those features are all but inevitable to an ad-funded social media platform. If you want to increase ad revenue you need people to spend more time in your app, and that means you need a constant stream of new stuff in their feed. If faceboo

This applies to so many systems that have irreversible status transitions. I have seen this again and again over my career as a developer. A foolproof system is designed and then some fool of a user puts it in a different state from reality

Even nuclear advocate's argument that "nuclear plants are much safer now and the accidents that happened at 3 Mile Island/Chernobyl/Fukushima are impossible now" implies that anti-nuclear sentiment was correct in t

I don’t think there is a conspiracy here. HN more than other sites is frequented by techno-optimists, who believe humanity’s problems can be solved with technology. Those people are more likely to favor nuclear power as a technological solu

This has happened again and again on lots of platforms. I’ve had this happen when microsoft shut down their ebook store, and when an album disappeared from my itunes account and apple support shrugged at me. Generally the way I view it: if

When you take your car in for repair, you also can’t know for sure what the cost will be, because cars are complex systems and every car is unique in its own way. But if the garage overcharges you then you will figure this out and you will

And once you spec it up to the 16 / 512 that it minimally needs to be for any serious work, you are close to the (now discounted) price for the base 14 inch macbook pro at third party resellers. This air is currently way overpriced. At

Audio and video production, and web and app development. I don’t think many people are switching from linux and windows (although I switched from a linux thinkpad to m1 air), but those upgrading from intel macs to m1 macs are seeing huge ju

A well run government subsidized system still has choice and competition. In belgium I can choose what school my kids go to, even though all of them are subsidized to the point of costing very little. I can also choose what hospital to go t

This is the same argument AT&T used to forbid third party telephones on their network. It didn’t convince then, and it does not convince now. Tolerating third party clients should just be part of the cost of doing business and part of t

I am of the opinion that a developer should always act like a professional, with the best interests of their employer in mind, and that this means doing their best to assure a smooth handover until their very last day of work. After their l

Then the onus is still on Nielsen to demonstrate an exclusive license. Otherwise they have no standing when trolley scrapes the sites directly, because only the original copyright holder (the stores) may enforce that. The pictures are the r

But this is only implied and not said, which in legal documents is an important distinction. I would suspect the supermarkets license the info on their sites to this aggregator, who seems put out somebody scraped the same information and is

But letting the chips fall where they may is what led to the current situation, with a browser market heavily distorted and made anti-competitive by two tech giants. What people are asking for is a regulator that steps in and redresses the

I had a similar experience. It is one of my favorite scifi movies, and it gets better with every viewing. I think it also resonates especially because I have a young daughter myself. The soundtrack though, that clicked right away. I never g

The chromium-only web is not google’s fault. It is a symptom of a body of web standards that has grown wild to the point of being all but unimplementable. Building a browser for the modern standards-based web is effectively impossible, beca

You don’t have to hazard. This subject has been studied extensively and there are clear answers. The high cost of nuclear is due to the inherent complexity of nuclear power plants, and the rise in particular is principally due to a nuclear

Anyone who has ever spoken to a small child knows they often “think” in the same way. They are likely to answer a who question with a name, sometimes laughably made up, because this is what they think they’re supposed to do and they lack th

Most modern cities would collapse as well. Cities have much more to offer than office work. Restaurants, entertainment, shops, museums, sights. People that choose to live in the city often choose for those amenities, not a nearness to the

That’s in a mindset where workers are interchangeable and change employers often, and employers make no effort to cluster together. You could also have a model where workers specialize within either a single company for life (japanese model
