> Mass unemployment would get accompanied by mass loss of disposable income, so that would actually be bad for Amazon This is nonsense. You’re saying Amazon should keep paying wages so people can use those wages to shop at Amazon. When p

NZ peaked at 150 cases/day, the UK didn’t start its first lockdown till 5000 cases/day. And that’s 5000 tested cases. It was too late (even though Italy was bad and a good canary, UK politicians did nothing). Even if the country r

It’s super concerning that the actual implementation detail is so hidden with all these services. You know when you should use glacier with route 53 and lambda or whatever, but do you really know why and how they work? Maybe most people don

Yes literally everything in Russia is related to trump. It’s well known that everyone in Russia and the rest of the world is obsessed with American elections and trump. It’s all anyone ever talks or thinks about. This station was started on

Reducing the speed limit saves lives and reduces overall traffic as people switch to alternative modes of transport. Do you object to seatbelt laws under the premise of "Freedom"? What about car safety standards? Isn't it mor

It’s relative- the high performance Tesla’s are worse for the environment than the low performance ones. EVs are a different category to ICE cars so comparing across them is strange

Faster you go the more fuel you burn per mile above around 50-60mph depending on the car The faster you accelerate the more you’re going to braking to slow back down again (unless you’re accelerating onto open roads) Performance cars are mo

There are now at least 4 different implementations of every data/app related technology: the oss/original version, the aws version, the azure version and the gcp version Is this a good idea? I don’t think so

Why is happiness at 80 more important than happiness at 20, 30 or 40? If anything it’s less important as you’re less likely to see 80 than any preceding year.

Yup, it doesn’t get rescheduled and you slowly lose influence and find yourself working on things you hate, getting bad reviews and eventually getting fired/leaving because you hate your job

There was so much promise around this site and others, it turns out all the hype was just a marketing funnel into a standard recruitment consultancy. There’s many others out there like this, unfortunately you can’t really change the shape o

No- the UK enters a WTO agreement on the 1st jan, that means imports taxes, duties and restrictions on a whole bunch of things. It’s impossible to plan for because it can all change at the last minute. It’s easy to say nothing will change i

Is there a way to remove articles about the American police force from HN? Yes we know they’re bad/unethical and a problem for Americans. But is this really something that “gratifies one’s intellectual curiosity”? Isn’t it just flameba

It’s hilarious how people are so ingrained in their culture that these things affect them so much. Like if I ate a roast dinner for breakfast or took a shower every lunch time, I’d be considered a madman. It sounds absolutely silly but real

It’s complicated. Ultimately it’s rude to refer to anyone by their skin colour, ethnicity or racial “group”. There are almost no situations where it’s appropriate.
