PVC is used everywhere in the USA. You can probably name almost any common household item in the USA and there is a PVC version of it if not the dominant form. It's because there are very large PVC manufacturers in the USA which is w

Also interesting there was no concern about the "evilness" of Facebook. I could never work at Facebook no matter how much they offered. You could say they are "in the business of making money" but their actions (or lack

Will there be later years of data incorporated? The tree cover gain appears to only go to 2012 whereas the loss goes to 2020 which would underrepresent any gains.

It's still interesting to note that boys wore pink and played with dolls in the USA 100-150 years ago.

I think you are missing the point.. The gender equality was portrayed by the company and therefore picked up by the parents. Nothing to do with what little boys thought of girls. Today you have marketing pre-disposing parents to thinking

Is there any more details somewhere on how this worked? I assume they required electricity but where did the electricity come from? Was it using same exact phone they had in cities at the time? Not even sure what connections were require

Environmental regulations were sited without clear specification of what exactly the issue is. There is strong precedence on why we need those regulations to prevent issues that the "future" then has to deal with. How many super

So in other words no matter how much security UP puts in place it is pointless because they same people they turn over to police for prosecution will be right back tomorrow. Other option is then physical barriers which doesn't really

Haven't a lot of people on HN warned against using Backblaze for backup because of issues restoring from backup? I recall reading someone having to pay to have a physical drive sent to them to restore a backup because of speed/co

Every well written app has multiple processes that can offload work to them and simply restart that single process if it crashes. Even Slack is running a number of processes so even if one does crash it simply restarts without affecting th

It's what the company prioritizes. If they can get away with spending less money on development and think the end-users will put up with whatever they made then that is why Electron succeeds.

"case counts" are also a really bad way for measuring. Media likes to use it because they love sensationalizing things but if we already know this is a "mild" variant with little to no increase in hospitalizations then

I was able to recently get a close to $200k base salary job as Sr. software engineer for a startup. Fully remote with benefits. Have a lot of experience though and may be considered somewhat of a niche area.
