I mean, you can riff through the comments of some Mission-local Instagram posts about this incident. There are plenty of eyewitnesses, including someone who was behind the Waymo in question. I'm sure the "allegedly" is there

Free software is dead? Free software is still there, same as it ever was. And it will be there forever. The more people flee to it from SAAS shittification, the better it will get.

Yes, it would have been massively different. I don't think BLM would have coalesced without it.

I mean, it may be difficult to understand or properly contextualize the subsequent BLM movement without pointing out the racial aspect of this execution.

Feudal lords, at least, had the wisdom to build their castles in the middle of their protected fiefdoms. In times of social upheaval, a doomsday bunker just becomes a particularly juicy oyster to shuck.

As a Mission local, I loved routinely seeing KitKat while strolling down 16th. He was friendly and made everyone’s day a little brighter. Perhaps other SF residents on HN feel the same.

It sounds to me like they're funded by estates and foundations, not directly by oligarchs. (In fact, most of the names in your comment are long dead.) And in any case, there's no evidence that any of these organizations are reachi

Estate bequeathals and foundation grants are a far cry from direct ownership and editorial control by a single oligarch.

Ditto. This is not a community, but a bunch of soapbox orators shouting at each other. You get the feeling of socializing without any of the consequences or calories. Ultimately, threaded discussions with upvote-based sorting are the death

1) Emigration is really hard when you're older and tied down with local connections, obligations, sick family members, etc. Also, most countries don't have any interest in immigrants over the age of 40 or so, and even when you&#x2

True, the search fields are in a better position now, but this really has nothing to do with the liquid glass paradigm. This could have been done in the previous designs just as well, I think.

Thanks for the clarification on where you stand. Flagging and moving on.

Fire sale from expiring EV credits. Sales massively down in Europe and China. It’s almost inevitable that BYD and ilk will eventually eat Tesla’s lunch: the cars are cheaper, better, sexier, and have comparatively little political baggage.

Tesla has a fundamental leadership problem. Few CEOs spend so much time enthusiastically enraging and attacking their potential customer base. (Not to mention politicians, unions, etc.) I’ll be in the market for an electric vehicle soon but

It looks pretty (sometimes) but I have not found a single usability improvement stemming from the new paradigm.

That swipe sucks because it’s almost identical to the “swipe up from bottom” home screen swipe. You have to be precise, and the initial UI feedback looks very similar between the two.

Are there any other NASes out there that a) support ZFS/BTRFS, b) support different-sized drives in a single pool, and c) allow arbitrary in-place drive upgrades? Last I checked, I believe I didn't find anything that satisfied all

I’m not a Londoner, admittedly, but I visited quite recently for several weeks. Nothing struck me as abnormal for a city that size. Some neighborhoods were very Syrian; others very Jewish; others very Saudi(?); others Caribbean. If anything

I mean, swap “Islamic” for “Jewish” and you’ll see the exact same story play out a hundred years earlier. (Read up on the history of Hackney, for example.) Neighborhoods change character and demographics. It’s pretty normal in large, multic

From OP: > 59% of Londoners were born in the UK! How could it possibly be that only a third of them are native Brits? The article’s first section breaks down the demographic data in a table. The first ethnicity listed? “White British” a

I hate that people will read this comment and file it away as “woke” or whatever. No, it’s basic reading comprehension FFS. English 101.

Unfortunately, I didn't save the receipts myself, but this matches what I've seen float by on social media: https://www.isdglobal.org/digital_dispatches/total-remigrati... "Britain for whites" and &

Except the movements DHH joyfully writes about are ardently white nationalist and support things like forceful “remigration” for non-whites. There may be a place for the idea that “immigrants are Brits too, but we to improve cultural integr
