Can you give an example of a single type of statistic where this argument can't be made? Are statistics overall categorically useless? Should they not be reported?

Really sad to see that almost all comments here immediately turn to "victim blaming" and mention that this is a story about the need for backups, and not the story of hardware manufacturers removing the rights of consumers. And wh

How does accepting both of these somehow invalidate the belief that gendered behavior is mostly social or learned?

> honestly who isn’t using k8s at this point in time? The HN bubble can be fascinating at times. The answer is: a lot of people, and a lot of companies. Like A LOT.

The first time I encountered this was Dropbox. It honestly made me re-think using them at all, and these days I mostly use OneDrive.

It seems like a law of the Internet that "nothing nice will last". If there's a potential for abuse, it will be abused and the rule-abiding majority will suffer for it. Firefox Send is another example of this, it was pretty o

Isn't this discussion about free CI? Seems like the answer is quite simple then: if you want it faster, pay for it.

It's kind of mind boggling to me as a non-American how the US can spend such vast amounts of money on defense and so relatively little on space. Surely even from a purely egoistic perspective the prestige and potential profit of being

I've only used it for a few minutes, but here's my first impressions. What I really liked: I didn't have to read any documentation to understand how to do the things I'm used to in tmux, the CTRL+[KEY] menus with hints a

So by your logic, we should all be taking in as much advertisements as humanly possible because that would lead to the least net amount of advertisements for all? Excuse me for being somewhat skeptical of that.

I'm not an economist and don't claim to understand what's happening, but what I do know is that I considered entering the market before the pandemic but abstained because I felt the prices were inflated by all this "free

Even if I guess IE11 is technically not EOL'd by Microsoft, they will stop supporting it for 365 services on Aug 17 this year, so I'm curious what kind of businesses are still using it.

I'd venture a guess and say I'm very much an outlier in the HN crowd, because I consider myself a socialist. Even with that said, I don't really understand the long-term logic behind rent caps, and I don't think it does

Please bring this up with someone that cares in your company: you ABSOLUTELY NEED a well working support organization with EFFICIENT escalation procedures. Support cannot be an afterthought. If a long time customer has a critical incident l

I'm sure this is awesome but do we really need phrases like "state of the art developer experience" giving you "unmatched productivity"? Is this the new normal? Do people feel the need to add this type of crazy hype

The mirrors frequently go offline from being blocked though, so it may be easier to rely on youtube-dl depending on how likely it is that you will be rate-limited. You could of course also try and set up your own, private Invidious instance

I guess that's when you double down and just scrape Invidious[1] for the audio files. edit: The Firefox extension "Privacy Redirect"[2] also uses Invidious to automatically redirect all youtube links, and does similar things

I would assume that this again has to do with the wording of the agreement signed with Tesla. One can assume they have lawyers of their own and that they wouldn't then do something like this if it's a blatant violation of the agre

Sometimes I feel like there are two worlds in IT: the one you encounter on a daily basis, and the one you read about on HN. The only thing consistently "terrible" about both of them is the often expressed lack of humility towards

If it was true that the only way to get "paid" is to push boundaries, 99% of everyone working in IT would be out of a job. Kurt Vonnegut once said that "the problem with the world is that everyone wants to build, and noone wa

I just think that a form button is something that looks a specific way for a reason, and that styling shouldn't break fundamental expectations. But that's obviously a subjective opinion, people can style their pages however they l

I wasn't in any way trying to say Elastic must be a great place to work, only that the type of places I'm talking about normally have web sites that look like the opposite of theirs.

You're not wrong, but I also firmly believe that most if not all dysfunctional companies are extremely process heavy.

It's very common for employment contracts to explicitly forbid you from working on things during your employment that is not directly related to your employment. An expectation of "loyalty" is also often even included in labo

If you want my advice, it is simply this: look for dysfunctional companies. They're easy to recognize, because they look like pretty much the opposite of those companies everybody really want to work at. Take everything you see from a
