The list at https://news.ycombinator.com/topcolors is definitely not "the complete set of colors users have set" as claimed. I know this because it doesn't include my top color (namely #64BFBD).

With Python + mypy you get this middle ground as well. No need to type-check before you run your code, if you don't want to.

This was announced months in advance (albeit not in a way that could possibly guarantee that most customers would ever discover it) so I don't think your speculation is true. As best I can tell from the information publicly available

Hmm. I can believe this happens, but definitely not all VC investors take board seats. In fact I'm not aware of this having happened at any of the 5 startups I've worked for in my career, despite having at least partial knowledge

This doesn't make much sense. "Interesting business conversations" should map 1-to-1 with microservices but also each microservice must perform a "simple, idempotent business task" but also microservices can'

I think the parent's point is that you can't quite do "whatever you want" with it anywhere in the world, at least until Alex dies, because in some countries authors have inalienable moral rights that cannot be waived by

How did they break the Ts & Cs? How have they ever scammed anyone? These exact same talking points were all over Twitter, but with no more substantiation there than you've given here.

How would invoice billing even reduce the risk of this outcome? Surely any system with more manual and asynchronous steps involved is MORE likely to result in Google erroneously claiming you haven't paid, not less? I don't grasp w

Huh. I was sure I was right about this but I tested and realised you are correct. CREATE INDEX (even with CONCURRENTLY) gets blocked by reads while waiting to acquire the lock it needs, but it doesn't block reads during that time.
