It's worth noting that cars and parking in Hong Kong are absurdly unnecessary luxuries, and this is an absurdly luxurious example of the genre. The golden rule of capitalism is, you can spend as much money as you want, and because it i

My read is, if the goal is a super valuable open source project, developing it and having it stuck in-house sucks. And what can you do? Reimplement it from scratch open source? Sounds like a massive pain, and if the open source tool is an i

Woah woah woah Duckduckgo delegates to Bing? If many/most searches are unique that means they can't live up to their privacy statements.

User manuals are (ideally) not technical documents. It shouldn't imply any specific system design if it doesn't have to.

I suspect you underestimate how massively disruptive it is to move to another country, particularly one that doesn't speak any language that you speak. Maybe America would pick up a lot of random people, being huge and wealthy, but eve

> Me, I personally like a world of true diversity, where people of different physical regions are allowed to have unique local cultures. I think free movement is likely to amplify culture, not mute it. Right now I have to go through tons

This seems true. Is there any data on why? Or is it just an illusion? We have speculation on why this illusion would exist?

I mean, the value of the job goes down when it is automated, so the phrasing can be a little tricky to navigate, but yes.

Because being popular doesn't make you above the law. The comment is at best irrelevant, at worse morally noxious.

Steve Jobs definitely wasn't engaged in criminal fraud, so the prosecutor will definitely be trying to demonstrate she wasn't "the next Steve Jobs". Given what we know we should hear that prosecutors' argument.

I'm no expert, I'm not Taiwanese, and I haven't been to mainland China (though I've been to Hong Kong a couple times, which seems pretty similar to Taipei). It is an on-the-ground feeling. There is a calm chaos here that

Democracy is complicated (we have a complicated democracy because simple democracy doesn't reflect _our_ values, for instance), but freedom? Maybe at-any-costs freedom isn't universal, but freedom generically is. It is tied so dee

Wait a second... Why? I guess I don't get the double standard. You say the double standard is necessary for conditions to improve but can we discuss that a bit, because it isn't obviously the case. If it is an important human righ

> Most earn between 2,000 and 3,000 yuan, with permanent staff earning between 2,000 and 2,500 yuan. In 2017, the average wage for a worker in Hengyang was 4,647 yuan a month. Math... my brain... what is happening...

Isn't the half-life of adrenaline like 90 seconds? Wouldn't you be a nervous wreck if it lasted much longer?

More effective, maybe. But caffeine is so widely used and understood that it is by far the safest and least risky. That's super valuable.

The difference between truth and falsehood matters quite a lot to the people buying and selling securities. Whether you think it matters or not, it definitely determines price, and does so independently of a bubble.

Wouldn't being closer imply being used together by the operator? So: 6/2 * 3 = 9 but 6 / 2*3 = 1? In the slice context it seems very obvious the colon has to be slicing, because it can't stand alone to produce an indexab

I mean, I see the general wisdom of what you're saying, but I think older backups are still good practice. I've seen it take almost a week for a data corruption issue to be noticed. Not crazy to think it'd take even longer, s

Regular database backups are a bad practice?

Which raises the best question: how would you exploit someone not escaping single quotes? I do not know. Perhaps it isn't possible.

The first one doesn't escape single quotes or slash, but I have no idea how to get any HTML parser to treat just those as anything but text. Underscore's implementation will be correct, I'm sure.

Woah! That information about Docker is bananas. I've worked on projects with more than 200 VMs. Talk about things that don't show up on HN: scaling issues with popular technology where you never find a solution.

Not all ignorance is deliberate. Almost none of it is -- ignorance is the default. Some things we don't know yet. Others have effect sizes so small distinguishing them from zero is a true and deep challenge, even with tremendous study

I like "operator", particularly if you purchased the business (seems like you didn't in this case but you don't rule it out). It also shows your role was doing things, not thinking of the idea ("founder"), dele

Right, interface Nils compare on type too, right? This is bananas.

Go is one of the worst/weirdest. It has semantics around uninitialized variables that most programs will rely on for correctness. And it also has nil.
