The main reason is that zoning makes it impossible to build them in most places. That has recently changed in CA and the amount of permits submitted for ADUs has increased by multiple magnitudes in the last 5 years (in certain locales, LA b

They don’t suck to live in. I would much rather live in an open floor plan. Maybe your needs are different and you need privacy within the common areas of your house, but not everyone has those same needs.

You can’t compare Diablo Canyon to this situation. Diablo Canyon has a power output of 2,256MW vs 18MW for this tiny dam. This dam is many magnitudes smaller. The benefit of keeping the minuscule power output vs ecosystem damage and mainten

Shelter is included in core inflation. Where in my post does it say that inflation is just fine? The point is that the crazy 15% numbers we are seeing are mostly due to energy prices, which are extremely volatile. We should strive to get an

As the other poster pointed out, that's primarily due to the energy costs and those will most likely come down. For a more accurate look at inflation, you should look at core CPI which excludes energy and food which can be volatile. Th

That's literally how the market is supposed to work and it's not a bad thing. This is not some conspiracy. Companies price test all the time. They will increase the prices until either the consumer won't purchase their produc

Seriously, this situation is so rare that it was posted on HN. If this was a common experience, nobody would give a shit. This posting is obviously fake and anybody that orders this device kinda deserves to be scammed (not really, nobody de

React is a framework though. The main differentiator between the two is Inversion of Control. React developers write their code to be called by the React application. You aren't choosing to include React or not (what you would do with

The “community” is not a good gauge as to which tech will succeed or fail. Go back to the early HN days and read the comments on the iPhone release posts.

Meta is going for the same exact play as Apple did with smartphones, but with VR. They understand the downsides of being tied to ad revenue more than anyone else. They want to make money from Oculus Store and headset sales, just like Apple

It's an especially stupid thing to point out when that's not the case here, as OP points out. Like, why even mention it then? There is enough negativity/pessimism around, no reason to add to it.

It depends on what you think is important, but there is a lot more happening today in addressing our problems than back in 2013 or 2003, imo. I think many can agree that climate change is one of the higher priority efforts, and in the last

React is coming up on 10 years since its release. That world you describe is far from reality nowadays.

Are you suggesting that requiring React experience for a job where you will use React is not a reasonable ask?

How do you know it’s astroturfing? I see this claim about comments on Reddit all the time. Most of the time it is just fan boys in my experience. Shit, I’ve been called a troll for X-cause or a corporate shill for company-Y. If I disagree w

I think both things can be true. Large entities, no matter private or public, suffer from inefficiency. But, private entities have more control over the allocation of their resources. With a private enterprise, you have stakeholders at the

What are you working on? Without knowing your use-case or what your codebase looks like, I have no idea if the problem is with other devs, or you are just blind to the insanity that is your codebase. Not saying that latter is the case here,

I pointed out some changes that are addressed by HEN in a reply to another post, but here are some others that would help. The funny thing is that HN doesn't even adhere to the basic UX practices that many around here constantly compla

Reddit's redesign sucks not because of new features or modern frameworks, but because they don't care about the web experience and spend all of their effort funneling users into their mobile app.
