I feel like we could come up with an analogy that captures more of the nuance of the issue. How'd we feel about it if Windows went around and uninstalled non-Microsoft-Office word processors, to stop competing companies taking money fr

People should still be giving Google shit for decisions like that, even if they're not surprised.

Fucked up that they've classified it. I expect they give clearance to enough doctors so it won't be a problem in practice, but it still sucks.

Maybe they had all those planets sitting around to begin with and wanted to avoid single points of failures in the face of planet-destroying weapons!

If no one develops serious bleeding edge bullshit against rust nightly, the features that are only in rust nightly aren't gonna get any real-world experience that can inform whether they should go into rust stable, so it sounds like th

Rust seems like somewhat of a strategical direction for Firefox, not just any old frivolous dependency like mng support, so I think not prioritizing the brevity of the dependency list is reasonable here. Have people traditionally been runni

I suspect this is a case of a submitter finding one specific aspect of the submission interesting, not caring about the rest, and using the title to draw attention to it, rather than misrepresenting the article.

Comment you're responding to said gitlab, not github. Maybe those code hosting sites need to become more creative in their naming...

Maybe add a notice to the site header listing currently-running experiments. Apart from making it easier for people who don't read every post to keep up with rule changes, that'd emphasize that there's something out of the or

If it's really old, shouldn't it be faster as it would've been designed to perform adequately on way slower CPUs? ;)

In what languages do names like y combinator or amazon web services or sublime text mean "something bad"?

dang doing moderation has definitely improved the place and I sure don't want to ascribe sinister motivations to him. I hope it'll work out okay! But I'm worried.

The point I was trying to make is that there's people who exist outside those shared experiences, and yet have valuable contributions to make to discussion on HN, but they probably aren't gonna because banning politics will create

I hope you recognize that you can only opt out of being stressed about politics because you're not on the receiving end. :/

I'm not worried about this move because I think that I'll somehow miss out on political news, I'm worried because an attempt to detach ourselves from politics (as interpreted here) can only be to the detriment of those on the

Oh. I have to admit I ignored the video and thought the comment was about the "How does Amazon Go work?" paragraph on the page.

As a customer-facing thing, "how it works" means "what do I have to do to get stuff". Like, how does the process work on a UX level.

I'm not saying your scenarios are made up and I sympathize with them, but I think most people choose to store their stuff in the cloud so they don't need to worry about the devices they physically touch.

I don't think adding symlinks to / takes away a meaningful amount of time from the people working on drivers. I think you're gonna have a hard time convincing people these days that the answer to all the scenarios you listed
