The problem is those social safety provisions require prosperity. If the EU keeps falling behind in growth, it has no hope of keeping current Quality of Life.

Streaming SIMD Extensions seems very unlikely to have any relevance in the above statement, server-sent events is the perfect fit.

India is friendly with Russia yes but power wise India is just a non entity. It has nothing to make US feel threatened.

While I don't like the lack of freedoms in China, the Chinese government has done an amazing job lifting it's people out of poverty. I am not Chinese but I think most people around the world would gladly take that over being poor

India is nowhere near being a superpower that could challenge the US so I think the threat is not the same. Plus Indian society is a bit more open and free than Chinese so lots of people told to spy can easily come out.

I mean the solution would be to have a different test table an also a test lambda. You can deploy to test lambda and test it by changes to the test table.

Yes the US is one of the only rare places where Whatsapp is not omnipresent (and it is the only presence where RCS has any meaningful chance of ever being used.

Plain text chats only, pinned chats for todos. Named empty groups for notes. The fact that Whatsapp has no features is a plus for such users as they find doing whatever they want very simple. The above are just two examples but people reall

Whatsapp is such a big cultural force that many of my non technical friends and family members refuse to use anything else. No mail for full res photos is one thing, but you can't make them use anything else. Everything lives in Whatsa

Sadly very few politicians from his party voted for impeachment (although more than zero). Goes to show how if only his party had 15 more members he might not be getting impeached.

No I am very sure they are not.

This comment shows how a very random blog about a very small part of a product can dominate all conversation about it. Prime video famously did not undo anything. Out of 100+ teams one team undid one service. But somehow similar comments ar

Living in hot and humid climate is miserable even for people living there all the time. Yes humans persist and carry on but it doesn't make it less miserable, and any lucky person who was able to escape will never ever want to go back

I think this might be meant for an audience for which the choice is not between fan and no fan, but fan and some other cooling mechanism (an AC). If you can use an AC, definitely prefer that at such temperatures. If the American population

While this is an exaggeration, it really is very very bad. I have stayed for short amount in very hot and humid areas where sadly electricity was rare and yes you just want to get out of there as soon as you can.

It is hard to understand some phenomena if it stands to reduce your income. Even if the LLMs don't improve one bit from here and current state is froze, they are still too good and will be everywhere before we can finish talking of hor

I used to think similarly. However in the past 4-5 years I have observed closely my non tech family member's usage of smartphones and they frequently install totally random apps, they have no idea what their default browser/keyboa

No, non developers are more likely to buy software for what they need for their profession (that is why tons of terrible software exists everywhere for such tasks). Ad ridden spyware is mostly for consumption things like games and random we

They do, but they also want to be safe from being able to choose unexpectedly and doing this in a way that both protects the user and gives them choices is hard. I also want mobile OSes to be flexible but they should always err on the side

The thing is most normal users don't really want random apps to be able to provide OTPs. While it would be nice to have an API for every system functionality like reminders where every app is allowed to register as the reminder app, it

That career path is still possible today, but it never was commonplace as the example makes one think.

> Victoria didn't decree anything. I think there is a tradition in the UK to assign all government actions to be by the crown. As if the crown takes decisions on everything and everyone else just recommends.

People give the same example in chess that we still watch people playing chess. However that is beside the point. In both race and chess we want to know/reward the best human. People don't listen to podcasts to reward anyone or to

HN has reached a point where if you do good deeds, you better be flawless or else you will be treated worse than if you were simply doing bad stuff by default. WPEngine is not some mom and pop shop. The courts will decide whether WPEngine o

Hiring good is probably the most important thing for a company and also one of the hardest problem. I have seen a team of competent engineers outperform their sibling teams by 5-10x as long as each member of the team is good enough. Just 2

I don't think anyone runs Postgress at that scale (unless very specialized sharding setup). Given the choice between using ScyllaDB like everyone else and using Postgres in a super specialized best in the world setup, the choice become

Yeah in my experience in large companies, nebulous goals just get gamed to the hilt by bad actors.
