Dividing up last quarters $29B revenue leads to approximately $13.4M per hour of downtime, now past $53M after the 4 hour mark. But I haven't paid this much attention to Facebook in over a year.

I didn't mention nudity, so yeah I'm including non-nude scenes where that's obviously what's going on and it's not adding anything useful to the story.

The violence often relates to the plot, and drives the story forward. The sex scenes generally add nothing.

They've moved to TV shows... Hard to watch any (American) Netflix series without an unnecessary sex scene every 6-8 minutes.

Are you sure about that? I see it going a lot more like this: Stage 1: Amazing new project lights the world on fire. Stage 2: Woke-scolds achieve 10% of contribution. Stage 3: Multiple woke-scold instigated controversies lead to the creato

Important distinction between chia drives used for plotting versus storage. The intensive write use is during plotting and would be on the smallest and fastest drives, in the 1-4TB range. Personal experience, I generated almost 400TB of p

As someone who went from the PA suburbs and small IT shops (where 75k was a premium salary) to the SF startup scene and Facebook, one of the observations that has stuck with me was the incredible cheapness of my wealthy tech peers. It&#x27

I've run up against that wall several times over my career. Going around them does occasionally work out, but not always.

Little early to be making this claim... give it a chance to set in.

The comment I replied to was pointing out how this article is cherry-picking a single study to argue with, and I agreed... There is quite a bit of other evidence to support its use, such as [1]. I think it's pretty well summarized by

I did not say that... I just said it was possible. Personally, I think people should be listening to their doctors and not the television.

I'm not sure if the author considered that even if this study was completely bogus, Ivermectin can still be a positive part of covid treatment. I have heard many good things about Ivermectin from several different countries including

They are however outrageous to the far-left journos at mainstream publications, which is why there's so much attention focused on Substack right now. Trump won't go anywhere that he doesn't get to own a significant portion o

The only part of the spectrum missing from my group chats is the communists. It's just so obvious that you're not taking your own advice.

Is it really unthinkable to you that someone could've had a great past 12 months? I'm guessing you wear two masks.

It's odd to me that you think I've insulated myself with only people that think like me. It's like you don't know me at all. I'm literally the person who reached out and had 60 different meetings with all sorts the

Lol. Whatever you say, clueless dude. I assume you still work for the company which is responsible for, what is it, two-thirds of all child porn reports online? Yes that was it... 12 Million cases in 2018. It's also the premier destina

With that definition, would you think unlimited spam is also ok? Most likely you got reported by the community and picked up by the same sort of algorithm that exists on every other platform.

You know pretty much nothing about me, unsurprisingly. I certainly don't need your pity, lol, this last year has been one of the best.

Hi HN! Great feedback here, as always. I can talk about the commit, and I can talk about the article. We were getting crushed with scaling from 3M to 30M visits a month, and every day was a 16 hour day. The site was falling over on a daily

They were well prepared for this, with what must've taken months of planning. They added the payment option, got banned, filed the lawsuit and published their 1984 parody ad, all within 24 hours.

QAnon is so mild, it's bonkers the coverage it's getting. The whole thing revolves around the idea of "the patriots are in control, trust the plan, justice is coming, enjoy the show"... It's like a sedative, and ha
