   The people I'm in regular contact with are actively moving away from any Australian services they might using. All are moving away from Bitbucket, Jira and Confluence. And yes, some have privately commited to not hire any Australian ci

   Are we posting obvious politicaly driven character assassination articles on HN now? Really?

   I'm in a low-cost area too, so theoretical I just need to make a couple of thousand dollars a month to make ends meet. That's not as easy as it sounds, for me at least. I have an app that will be released soon, hopefully that woul

   That's the dream. I just never seem to be able to come up with products that actually make enough money to replace my salary though.

    I'm not an academic but have started reading some climate related papers, and from the little I've read, the future seems to be inevitably grim. Especially the trends in recent methane readings up north and those indicating fresh

    I have three friends who were teachers for a decade who changed careers within the last 5 years. One moved into banking, another became a tatoo artist, and the last teaches dancing privately. They all quit because of low pay and long hours,

    I stopped watching at the matter-of-factly statement of "everything is inherently politicial" as an unquestionable, axiomic truth. Everything is inherently politicial? No. Maybe it's because I'm not American but ya'

    I have not allowed access to apps that don't need it, do I have to go through each app and check its permissions manually? Also, the mic works on bg mode?

    It's not. It shows ads based on other peoples interests or what they have talked about with me. It was about things that wouldn't be in my personal sphere of interests in general. Specific ride-sharing companies, specific speakers

    I have had this happen with my Xiaomi android phone. I've had a couple of times where I get ads served pertaining to conversations I've had with random people when my phone is laying nearby, silently listenting. No googling the to

    I dunno, how is this different from the Amish or Hasidic jews having their own isolated communities? These people want to raise their families in communities which they feel share their values. Is this not the market force at work? What&#x2

    I suspect this only applies to the SC Valley scene. I'm pretty sure your side-projects will really help your chances almost everywhere outside of SV. We dont do whiteboad interviews where I work. We do short projects done as homework t

    I dunno, would it be reasonable to call a cloud that temporarily looks like Chewbacca Chewbacca? I suppose it would make sense in that particular moment in time, and in that particular context, but it's not an image of Chewbacca is it?
