Every coworker (and each person outside your company with similar skills) is a competitor in a global marketplace for various skills. It's just not very useful or helpful to think about it only in that way. Day to day it's much mo

Android shows when an app is using the microphone with a green indicator in the upper right corner -- I'm assuming iOS has something similar. How would apps get around this?

While I do think wealth inequality is a big issue of our time, I don't think it is an issue of civilizational level disintegration -- that would look like the total amount of wealth in our society decreasing, which by all accounts does

I found the off hand implication that civilization is disintegrating to be sophomoric.

My first house was in the midwest, built around 1920, and had plaster walls with no insulation. It was only around 1400 sqft, but we did have (natgas) heating bills in that range ($600-$700/mo December through February).

To be clear I haven't seen a single comment that could be charitably characterized as "supporting Alex Jones". I see a lot of comments that are pointing out that the judgment against him seems unreasonable given the damage he

Probably not a bot. Just reposting content from twitter over here. It's quite entertaining though that this particular conspiracy theory is catnip to HN users. Perhaps it's for the same reason it's blowing up on twitter: vagu

TBH, this feels like some kind of psychotic break. He just kind of stops posting out of nowhere. On twitter there are some attempts from others to reach him that seem concerned for his wellbeing: https://x.com/DanielleFong&#

What is a fossil fuel ad? I don't think I've ever seen an ad for e.g. a gas station. Car ads maybe?

Can you explain your logic here? It doesn't make sense to me. A subsidy for homemakers would shrink the labor force, driving up demand and pay for the remaining workers (the working parent).

Can you post your source? Last time I checked (and quickly checking around now) I didn't see any announcement from Google about Youtube being profitable.

The impression I get is that these consumers who want a smaller phone are a very loud minority. They also often seem to overlap with the set of consumers who are extremely cheap. To Apple they are just bad customers who they will always hav

Precisely. Would have been so much better if he had just sent a memo effectively saying: "He's my son, so I'm pardoning him, end of story. Sorry I lied about this, I genuinely regret it."

The revenue and profitability of "the Chrome Company" is going to be far less than Google, since Google's rising tide is what lifted that particular boat. How would the Chrome Company deal with this? Would they do closed sour

I mean effectively you could. Do something like the following: Take a subscription product that costs $10/mo right now as an example. Let's say you want a license that lasts your whole life. Estimate the time you have remaining in

I think this is a perfect explanation about why zoom calls are so exhausting. You're having to pay closer attention to more things than you would in person. Attention isn't discrete -- it's dividable, and zoom calls call for

Sure, this was kind of a tongue in cheek comment. But the door is open to these types of investments to the degree that state pensions are underfunded. And PE is only finishing the job of corruption started by the politicians who underfunde
