I'm not a fan of this type of architecture for many reasons. One of the reasons is the difficuly of organizational coordination, which is funny because a few years ago Airbnb had a blog post about how they gave up on React Native and o

The wipe on unlock thing is not about preventing others from getting your data, it's about preventing you from getting app data.

It's meaningless if hackers can't bypass the security, which is true more and more as the companies get better with their security. What we need is bootloader unlocking provided by the manufacturers.

In my ethics if you don't give a fuck about all the injustices that happen to black people when they aren't protesting then your morals are evil.

We preserve it because we don't want only powerful special interests to be allowed to speak and be heard. We are willing to die for our freedoms because we believe in the idea that we the people are our own rulers and we will fight to

Yes, protests are the impotent desperate cry of the unheard. I love of the free because, no matter how much corruption, we will not lose that voice of last resort. Millions of us are willing to fight to the death to preserve it.

I think part of what you're calling luck is what pg calls natural ability and part of it is the idea of "luck favors the prepared". I don't see how you can attribute luck to Lionel Messi's success, with his natural

The rich have defunded their police, the IRS has no resources to go after complex schemes like these. But they consider it out of bounds when poor people demand the street harrasment police be defunded.

Yep, this is where you can end up with tons of mapping boilerplate and potential bugs. I tend to reach for code-generation tools, schema based protocols like Protocol Buffers, and prefer code simplicity over performance concerns. The hope i

I agree. There also seems to be more right-wing outrage-of-the-day bubbling up here.

Having worked at two unicorn-ish startups that were founded and grew up on Python stacks I specifically want to work on a statically typed backend for my next job. I'm tired of the mishmash that is a large mature Python codebase.

That's the victimization story that the right tells itself but I haven't seen much evidence that it happened.

Jeez those are some minor edits. This whole lab leak theory is turning into a major vindication talking point for the right but it's all built on a straw man as far as I can tell. And no one brings up things like hydroxychloroquine any

"Things your parents don't want you to know about" is like catnip for teenagers. A kind of Streisand effect.

If every single left-leaning media said the lab-leak hypothesis was debunked it should be easy for you to give me one citation.

The bigger concern is that professional educators are being overruled by politicians about what is in the curriculum. Such as the recent wave of anti-Critical Race Theories laws being handed down because of a panic created by right-wing med

My dream for a search engine is to be able to exclude the entire ad+seo web from my results by filtering out any results that have 3rd part ad javascript. Then we could actually find the non-commercial web again and hopefully help it grow.

This is not true ARM: https://developer.arm.com/support/arm-security-updates/specu... There are also a bunch of mitigations for AMD.

That makes no sense. A Direct Democracy would take into account the people that are not participating in the mob.

The Yang anecdote could be used as an example of bad or good power of memes depending on if you support Israel or not. The article is filled with the author's personal biases leaking into a purportedly principled argument.

Psychedelics are probably next. Already there is some movement, Oakland and Denver have decriminalized magic mushrooms.

I've learned to stay away from any and all security software and recommend against it to friends and family. Even open source projects have a tendency to sell out to shady characters and spammers without warning. The industry is fully

Super interesting take, thanks! I've always been so confused by conservatives labeling all mainstream media as left-biased when I, as a liberal, see them as centrist or conservative.

I agree, it's a traditional conservative business view point: less regulation, free trade, free press, democratic government with a strong fair legal system.

It's interesting to think that if Apple had been more popular in the 90s then the DOJ wouldn't have been able to stop Microsoft and between them they could have strangled the nascent open web. In this way a monopoly is actually be

Conspiracy theorists were right about so many things last year like hydroxychloroquine and 5g. So we should totally trust them now that Biden and scientists have decided to look more closely into the lab-leak possibility. /s

The abstract normally contains a brief conclusion. "Our results show that a pit was dug in a sterile sediment layer and the corpse of a two-year-old child was laid there."

Yes but a lot of YC's value derives from their reputation which is given to them by people like us.
