Fantastic interview where you really get into the mind and mindset of the developers for how they approach development from many different angles. Highly recommended. I only have one disagreement with them. . . > the perfect name for a

I worked with NTT Docomo years ago for a short time. First time I ever got to see a CMM Level 5 organization. It was insane. No wonder Japanese cars were so much better than everyone else for so long. If you ever get the chance, take it

I wonder how that would look from a feasibility perspective... Let's see - Earth's radius is 6,378 km. Area exposed to the sun therefore would be 6,378 * 6,378 * 3.14 = 127,731,695 [1] If you wanted to block just 1% of the light,

I'll second this as well. Everyone has a "go-to guy". Often it's a plumber, a handiman, a lawyer, etc. Your might be the "devops guy" or the "Cisco guy", etc. Build that reputation and then expand. A

Agreed. Many more people will die of heart disease And cancer than from global warming. Too many chemicals in our environment and food chain.

I would refer you to these to take the counterpoint to your position [1][2] [3]. China is in a world of hurt, but the government is trying desperately to hide how bad it actually is. If this continues for a few more months, it will be an e

This is a vey well written article - I highly recommend anyone who owns a firm to read this - even if you don't work with Big Tech, it is still very useful.

I wonder if side-loaded apps with have green icons. Seriously though, I expect Apple to do something to differentiate them.

A lot (most?) people like to work. What they don't seem to like is other people having massive control over their schedule to perform their work. Of course, some people hate to work, and some people have crappy jobs no matter how much

Does anyone here work in the back office of a grocery chain? What’s the typical markup on a gallon of milk or a frozen dinner? I’d bet that Apple’s 27% isn’t as egregious as it sounds.

> kids have basically gone from asset to liability over the last century This has happened in virtually every country that has moved from the farms to the cities. In farms, kids are added labor - in the city, not so much.

I disagree. This reads like a hastily-written article. Take these quotes from just one paragraph: "now is a fine time to start looking at Wi-Fi 7 routers." "There weren’t a lot announced at the show.... " "You will

So, perhaps I didn't word my reply as well as I should have. I am very much aware that robots have fail safes and all sorts of graceful failure modes. What I was trying to communicate is that wireless communications is very much used f

Have you ever been to a modern warehouse? There are hundreds of those things moving around, often with heavy loads (enough to injure if not enough to kill). And it has been that way for years. [0] [0] - https://www.wired.com&#x2F

You know, if you started one, I bet there would be a bunch of people here who would use it. I would be one of them (but I don't have the time to start such an endeavor). Put up an ASK HN and see what happens.

OR, this is a psyop against our enemies to get them to spend money and waste resources on something useless. That was done frequently against the Soviet Union.

Well, I actually don’t think I do. For instance, wouldn’t this have to be reported as an unauthorized intrusion (getting access to a user’s messages without using their ID) ? Also, nothing I’ve read has any criminal aspect to it (ignoring D

The tweet is correct. In fact, page 2 , paragraph 1 of the IRS doc you linked to actually uses some of the same wording as the tweet does: * (1) Former § 174(a)(1) provided that a taxpayer may treat research or experimental expenditures whi
