I had my suspicions but reading this comment thread I am now 100% sure that FAANGS and the likes have active PR firms working on HN threads. Naive to not have realized that before I know.

I love how you direct the question to the people putting their code out in their open and not to Microsoft. What is so special about Clippy et al?

It's not only the pollution. The world is "unwillingly" giving up space spots to a company that can use those satellites as technological weapons. What happens when a Chinese/India/Russia(Insert any non-Anglo "

Half of these projects are so general that are laughable, a quarter is so ambitious that a small prize would play 0 role in the potential development of the solution. Less: Solve world peace. Create "dynamic" organizations. Establ

Abandon this thread ASAP. HN "economists" are in full force with all the wacky theories. If mainstream economists hardly get one thing right, you'll only be totally misled by the clueless crowd here.

Not only that. More often than not "focusing on shareholders" just means, let's do the most sociopathic thing which will pump up the stock price in the short term, increase those year-end bonuses and allow the executives to m

I like it,but even a trivial app becomes a huge +5GB folder in development. The dependencies folder alone will make a node project blush + all the stuff generated when compiling/building. I love to have several apps to work on them co

Again, the median age of China is lower than the US and the UE. How is that a problem for China not for them? Skin color?

By our way you mean leverage fiat currencies and take advantage of being in total control of international multilateral organizations?

And what would be that problem? That sounds like wishful thinking. The median age of China is below of that both the US and the EU. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_median_ag... A significant fractio

I submitted a site as a joke and now I feel bad because there are a lots of interesting sites submitted. So let me contribute with 2 other sites, maybe not the "coolest" but I think they will be of interest to some fraction of the

I mean that's how the UK has still its museums filled to the brim with foreign objects. I dont support Spain on its claims but it is the same logic. This should go to Colombia, period, the treasure is in their waters.

This is mostly true, but (I cannot believe I am going to do this), Rust is in a different tier compared to the other languages in the list. From the last who is hiring thread: Zig =0 mentions Nim = 0 mentions Julia = 2 mentions C# = 4 menti

Moving electrons in silicon circuits = Moving K+ and Na+ ions in cells. Same principle. There is nothing inherently special, sacred or non-physical about our circuits. They are very energy efficient (compared to current standards), highly p

It's trivial to give a regular CPU better sensing than you in dozens of variables (pressure, temperature, voltage, CO concentration, etc), so your point is rather weak.

Probably it is a valid question, but I lost my patience a long long long time ago with the David Chalmers and Thomas Nagels of this world. They love to play a god of the gaps game with consciousness which it is really boring. The same thing
