Is typescript not a gradual typing variant of javascript?

To be fair, no notes service is worth paying for—they all have ridiculous cost for providing a commodity service.

All of those labels can describe social media notifications. The chance you agree with someone else on what they are is under 50%. Promotions should probably just be 'spam' in any email client that works for you. This approach of

Uber is a pretty terrible name for a taxi app.

> What really disappoints me is when unions make demands unrelated to pay or work conditions, but to restricting competition That's not competition, that's just giving away public money.

I really like this idea.

> Push for equal pay among everyone. To be very clear, this is not a goal commonly associated with unions, to my knowledge. EDIT: removed an ill-thought claim.

> fair workplaces What is this? EDIT: I don't mean to snark, it just seems like an inherently utopian ideal. Material concerns should dictate workspace conflict resolution. I certainly agree with your overall statement.

To be fair, working less is exactly in the interest of the employee. It's much better than the scenario of "40 hours a week on paper but in reality it's whatever the employer needs" that is prevalent in the US.

Just to point out the obvious, that doesn't serve the main purpose of the union at all: collective negotiation with the employer.

> entrepreneurs who again created their own business- not rentiers I sense you're implying a meaningful comparison there. Why is being an entrepreneur better (or indeed, distinct at all) from being a landlord?

Lazy descriptions maybe, but how is this related to gaslighting? The parent comment doesn’t appear to be attempting to manipulate anyone.

This is a rare case where the title is underselling the drama of the article as we’ve likely already passed a tipping point.

It won’t, permanently, and who thinks that about anything? But it would be a good change to try and have human ethics reflected on a societal level. I do have faith with enough failed attempts at capitalism we’ll learn, and at some point in

Perhaps that’s true. I also don’t see many claims with reason that go or chess is somehow a uniquely difficult problem, especially given the language turn of philosophy. NLP is the major problem moving forward with human intelligence, and t

I would like to claim I thought similarly, but that’s such a milquetoast claim I don’t think anyone would remember. Chess is simply a search problem, trivially scalable if you just throw cash at the problem.

The foreign policy of the US, including all invasions, death squads, oppressive trade deals supporting open slave labor (sometimes to death), is primarily to support the business interests of the upper class of the united states. The petite

Capitalism means there’s a diversity of products and they are ALL bad. We need collectivization to actually produce software that primarily benefits the user.

He’s also been wrong his entire life. There’s a reason Google hired him: to make AI look good, despite being a near meaningless term. Edit: diction.

It seems silly to reject regulation without seeing it and assuming the worst. After all, we already have the worst—closed source manipulative chat apps that exploit for profit for a small cabal of capitalists.

We don’t need 4g. Anyone who says otherwise is blatantly lying to themselves.

It’d be a lot easier to believe not coming from a company selling ads. Google would be far more of a self improvement tool if it were not incentivized to sell you things you don’t want.

I’d love to discuss it some other place, but this seems counterproductive to civility here.

Yikes, keep this shit off HN, nobody wants to know what you think about this. I am partial to Marx myself, Capitalism is an amoral excuse for greed that has repeatedly destroyed itself and had to be saved many times, and I would hate to hav

Well, unambitious seniors are a good bet on who not to hire. They’ll only work what you pay them for, those lazy bastards!
