Be careful in using group_concat in mysql - it actually truncates the result to the max_len setting which is by default 1024 and will not tell you it truncates the result in the logs. it took us forever to find the cause of this issue in on

I can guess few of their story points (hard to know until they release their numbers): 1) The market can support multiple players running profitable (i.e it's a 2 player or 3 player market). Think of the drugstore industry (Walgreens &

Isn't that definition a bit flawed? By this logic, wouldn't Google's search product and their industry be economically unprofitable? The number of search firms is not climbing (in fact its dropping) but Google's search b

If I have a merge request where I am added as an approver and that code is merged in, then I don't want it to show up on my todos. A merge request has a specified amount of approvals required and when that threshold is hit and the code

Hi - thanks for responding! I'd point out that if you look at issue 5439 the team itself was originally unaware of the high number of edge case states of the merge request and closed the issue prematurely. Having many code paths is a c

Agreed - our company moved to Gitlab about the same time (2.5 years ago) and it's very clear from their updates that their focus has splintered in different directions. Our company has recently moved to more Microsoft products so I am

In the Bay Areas case I would put a definite yes. Specifically our city actually has a very normal amount of growth (there are many cities with higher amounts of growth that don't have enormous growth in housing prices). We absolutely

The midwest is an underrated area of the US but unfortunately the lack of diversity makes it hard for me to live there. It's a hard area for certain cultures to live in. edit: not sure why I'm downvoted as my wife lived in the mid

This is literally the most pseudoscience I've seen at the top of a HN post.

I don't think you read the article because it clearly states that the restaurants they are talking about are in San Francisco where the wage is $15/hr + medical benefits. When you factor in the required medical benefits that could

agreed. After a few years of this, I've given up hope of them focusing on the core project. They have basic usability errors in their merge request and approval flow that makes the product a pain. For example, in 3+ years of using the

do you really want to wait for a self driving uber for a 0.4 commute through traffic clogged streets during rush hour? Cars aren't one size fit all solutions for all your transportation; the point of the scooters are to serve as last m

I have also been using gitlab for 3 years. The main complaint I have is usability / UX. For example, if you go through their merge request flow, parts of the page are unreadable. Sometimes it feels like this: http://corsairm

Yes, that is a fair point and I agree that the way we are raising animals today is drastically different from 100 years ago. Mad cow disease starts from US farmers feeding cows shitty animal parts to herbivore cows. Turkeys have to be artif

Ok so I am going to address your comments: 1) I don't have any ethical issues with any organism killing another organism to help sustain their life. And by the way, you don't either. Unless you've spawned the ability to photo

The US had protective tariffs and regulations (along with a lack of free trade agreements) which definitely protected foreign goods and companies from entering the country. Protective tariffs literally started with George Washington with th

Protective tariffs are a good idea for protecting nascent industries from essentially foreign competition. Many countries in Asia essentially locked foreign goods from certain industries during the later half of the 20th century to help bui

Why don't you try me? I am an omnivore who is engaged to a vegetarian. My meat consumption has dropped since we have started dating, but I don't feel a strong desire to turn vegetarian. I love meat, fish, eggs, and milk, and while

The subsidies wouldn't create more vegans in my view but it would reduce overall meat consumption. If you look at countries with higher meat costs (relative to income) you see that most have lower per capita meat consumption but they d

The question is to ask though is if the New York Times prides themselves on their quality of journalism - why do they continue employing him? Why does the top US newspaper continue to publish his articles? While I like a lot of the New York

If the researcher did that they would have gotten prosecuted by the FBI. Probably a better solution was to track every major journalist, tip them that you know their location and then give them scoop so you would have major press coverage f

I have noticed that some Chinatown restaurants don't tend to identify themselves when I call in. I think part of it is a language / cultural barrier. It's a lot different calling a chain where they have huge manuals on how to

I agree with everything you said. I also support the YIMBY solution (building more housing to drive down prices). However, my only point (which HN seems to downvote) is that the YIMBY party in San Francisco has an image / branding issu
