There’s nothing really general or abstract to what OP was stating though. Their argument is essentially “it has nothing to do with anything that East Asia did, it was essentially random that they ended up being the place where industrial de

Your argument lays out a number of push factors as to why firms left the US, but there are numerous locales that are and were cheaper than the US. This article is about what cause industry to flourish in East Asia specifically. None of the

Imagine if you were told that you had to do all of your software development work in notepad, because for whatever reason that lead to better optimized code… would you be ok with that?

The USA is a current imperial power and built atop of a genocide against its native population. The US as an entity has no history that would be relevant to a historical plunder carried out by the British. Russia is currently in direct co

While London is indeed a global city, access is very much not equal. Immigration/tourism requirements are always the strictest against the very countries who were plundered during colonial times, in comparison to rich countries with an

The world doesn’t function the same as it does in an economics textbook. Markets aren’t perfectly competitive, participants don’t have perfect information, etc.

Proper boundary setting and negotiation is an important soft skill. The takeaway from this advice is not to overdo it and burn out, but to recognize that not every responsibility needs to be delineated by bright line rules. Cultivating rela

The states didn’t write nor did they ratify the constitution (it was done at special conventions separate from the state governments themselves), nor do they write amendments. I honestly don’t know what to tell you at this point. This is ba

The “need” for the EC is all post hoc rationalization at this point. It was an expedient political compromise made in an environment that is wholly different than the one we live in today. The only reason we maintain it now is because it is

Further, there wasn’t a giant asymmetry of information. I don’t actually completely agree with the premise, but even taking it at face value, everyone knew what everyone else is doing. That is very different than some far off entity sub

If you’re happy with your coffee then that’s what matters in the end. I’d recommend trying a burr grinder though, or getting your coffee pre ground with one, it makes a significant difference in my experience.

Sounds like your grind might be too fine tbh

The value a dedicated distro provides here is that you don’t have to do the legwork to research and find the best tools. As power users we may want to do that ourselves, but a lot of people place value in having that curation done for them.

If you think the Fed is trolling HN/Twitter to figure out how to set monetary policy for the entire country/realistically the whole world, you are living in la la land. The fed hasn’t done QE for years . I’ve seen literally any p

What you’re outlining is an issue with moderation in general, not something particular to blue sky. The issue is, given the power inherent to moderation, how is that power best managed? Do you want it applied by whoever happens to own the p

I’d caution taking too many lessons from what’s happened in Oregon so far. Measure 110 was advanced by ballot initiative, and there was little planning around how supportive services/infrastructure would be built. As a result, the roll

Given that the blog post mentions apple’s ad business, I had no reason to believe that “just as much” somehow meant less than what was the subject of the discussion.

Apple is definitely collecting user data for advertising purposes, which to my knowledge is not something proton would be doing. I wouldn’t agree that it’s “just as much as Apple” here.

I’m having a hard time parsing the implication here, are you saying that proton is guilty of violating user privacy despite their marketing claims?
