The only thing I can think of is if they teamed up with LeetCode to allow people to use the built-in compiler to solve the problems. Obviously for the folks who use <ObscureLanguageX> this wouldn't work but it would be a nice col

It's plausible, sure, but it'll never be proven, especially at this distance.

This does feel like my opinion on NFTs / Cryptocoins.

Unless the US improves itself first, then I don't think China is going to believe that the US is making these criticisms and imposing these sanctions with any kind of coherent moral framework. They're going to look at this as a wa

It's really not the business of the US government to be sanctioning China over "better rights for their citizens", when the US has already got massive prison labour camps, racist policing system, and has mishandled the Cvid-1

A "like a family" feeling isn't going to happen while one or more members of that family have total power over wages and employment of the rest. My relationship with my boss and my fellow workers isn't like that of a fam

Taking a screenshot on your phone is far easier than finding where Share is in your current browser. Sharing is a mess.

The rioters had no coherent "aim", they basically treated like a tourist trap, and were practically let in by the police.

This is exactly what RSS feeds were for. In fact Outlook and other mail programs support RSS feeds alongside e-mail. Maybe Google should have integrated Reader into Gmail instead of dropping support for it.

I don't think NJB is arguing against the use of cars outside the city (although he's a big fan of trains, naturally). But also don't forget it's not just bougies living in the city, it's working-class people too, wh

Welcome to American zoning laws, sadly.

Experimentation is part of learning though. Heck, failing is part of learning! We really need to teach kids that just because you fail a few times at something you're not bad at it - it's part of learning.

I would probably be considered far to the left of most HN commentators, but I still find moves like this to be pointless. Ebay, Amazon, etc are all private companies. So I appreciate the point of view that they can operate as they like. But

I'll explain my experience, from starting as a newcomer in a business and ending as a Team Lead / Scrum Manager. When I first started, we operated on textbook Waterfall standards - I'd be handed an issue from my manager, I&#x

The US tax system is another one of those things about the US that looks utterly baffling to an outside observer from Europe. How on earth did it get into this state? How is this 'free'?

These types of moves are usually not looked upon favourably by China, and might risk the fate of the two Michaels (who were locked up in retailation for Meng Wanzhou's arrest).

Undoubtedly, yes.

The argument would be, what is the intent of the CCP in pushing this program, gien the evidence of coercion from Uyghur camp survivors. Is it as virtuous as state media argues? Doubtful.

It's the inevitable consequence of policing Trump's tweets. Either you police everything, or you're a hypocrite. This is not intended to judge how true the original article by the way, for future downvoters.

Twitter is already very judicious when it comes to any use of the word 'kill' nowadays=s, or anything that could be violent. Just requires a report.

I've not used JIRA in the long time, but in general I find source coontrol with issue tracking to be highly useful for working out why a particular change was made, several months after the fact, even if I wasn't the developer res

The topic of sex work is probably one of the last contentious issues in feminism - is it exploitative or is it empowering? Is it just like any other form of work or is the sexual aspect inherently more dehummanising and alientating than nor

For US-based news sites they might well only get a few European visitors. I only ever get this problem for trending stories like this.

For tthe number one economy, the US is weirdly backwards when it comes to technology and infrastructure.

American culture in general overrides local news. The debates are front-page news despite me having no vote or influence. Same with Trump's impeachment.

I've been using TikTok on and off for the past six months, at first because I was interested in seeing what you can find on the site. It's mostly teenager dancing stuff, yes. If you start liking political content you'll get p

I think if this was just in textbooks or a informative video that would be one thing, but an actual stage show feels a bit over the top?

I do find it funny how HN used to really bemoan the strict IP laws of the US, especially when it comes to software or medicine.... but if it's China getting around those laws then boo them.
