Slightly unrelated but there is something weirdly consistent about how Amazon treats their workers and people who have to work with them. I remember just exhibiting an AWS conference was the most time-intensive grueling event I've ever

Yeah I remember sitting next to a VA pilot on a flight once and he was gushing about the new AirBus 321s. And he was right. Their take offs feel like magic carpet rides compared to boeing 737s.

I know there's a lot being said about super bugs...but is the expectation that we just keep developing stronger antibiotics? is this something can be sustained over the next few decades/centuries?

Peskin's NIMBY supporters are basically on the same level of denial of trump supporters...they don't care what their own party's candidates do, they just want to make sure their side wins.

Terrible comments like this make me worried about HN. Seems like the worst of the worst on Reddit are finding they're way on here.

Ah of course. Just a few few weeks of dev time to build the same thing a multi-billion dollar company sells. Then after a few weeks of dev time you find out you're missing about 80% of the features that makes tableau useful. After that

I only flew American once in my adult life. Just rude/grumpy people at the gate. I fly almost on a weekly basis and they made me check the carry-on that always fits fine on United/Alaska/Southwest claiming it was too big. And

Thats definitely the wrong read. This is a direct competitor to Microsoft's PowerBI. Google will need Looker to get large enterprise data management deals on Google Cloud.

Getting a major record company to just follow through on the payment of a clearly contracted project is a hassle on its own. It's like they just want to weed out paying any musicians who can't afford to have a lawyer follow up.

Hadoop's whole appeal was it was cheap and scalable. Did it actually work without serious engineering teams maintaining each distribution? absolutely not. the hype was purely VC funded. fast forward 10 years and hadoop has basically be
