I dunno, you're not providing any evidence to back up the assertion that "we" talk way more about inclusivity than "powerful elites." Who is "we?" HN? Are you talking about in the news? A specific news out

What? The 2008 Mortgage Crisis was the biggest news story for at least a year. Comparing that to "inclusivity" is also strange because inclusivity is not an event. A single event has a natural decay of relevance, the further into

How do you know that? Because someone switched careers they must be after "one thing and one thing only: cash?" Just because someone has a CS degree they can't be primarily or solely motivated by cash? Again you're makin

Is a CS grad really that much more capable of creating a native Windows UI application than a "bootcamp-graduated js-monkey?" I certainly did not learn anything Windows related as a CS major and little to nothing about UI/UX.

Repealing 230 would force companies to moderate much more heavily so as to avoid liability. So if the goal is to reduce moderation, repealing Section 230 won't solve that. Not giving companies 1st amendment rights is very troubling to

You can't, uh, just write a law that overrides the 1st amendment. It's in the Constitution. Any law that overrides the 1st amendment is unconstitutional by definition.

In the US, the 1st amendment grants private companies the right to police content within their purview. Preventing them from doing so is in itself a violation of the 1st amendment. Thus, in my opinion, the suggestion that private companies

FYI, the GP comment said "The issue was resolved/disclosed very quickly, and in a professional manor." So they didn't say their "entire set of actions" was "professional" just that it was disclosed an

And here you are making pseudoscientific judgements (chemical imbalance?!) about a huge number of people you've lumped into a group and referred to as "these people." I'm seriously surprised you haven't been downvot

Referring to other humans as "subhuman" is disrespectful, at best. Where do you get off saying ANYONE isn't a "living being[s] with spirits and hopes and dreams?" Having different priorities than you do does not mak

By what metric is NYC demising and what data backs up that that "demise" is accelerating? Your brief post just seems like repetition of a partisan talking point about a place you don't like.

My guess (and this is purely a guess) is that it's "solvable" to within some threshold. But what is that threshold? I have no idea. If you turn the knobs too far, you'll presumably end up with more false positives. What&

I agree it's not enough. I simply wanted to point out that Facebook, tacitly or otherwise, admits it's not a problem they can solve purely with technology right now (...without making massive changes to their platform that undercu

The tax laws are public, but it's hard for most of us to understand how those laws apply in practice to people whose taxes are radically more complicated than most, and are prepared by the best tax experts money can buy. We also don&#x

Playing the "both sides" card is a hell of a take regarding WW2, especially when the article is literally about liberating Auschwitz. Of course both sides committed atrocities in war. But only one side committed mass genocide on a

How you present your ideas are as important as the quality of your ideas. My suggestion is that your website's presentation does not present your ideas in a way that is likely to reach your target audience. That's an opinion of co

I would seriously consider toning down the marketing speak. This project is making very bold claims, without citations, while trying to appeal to an often skeptical crowd (developers). "Graph databases are considered more powerful and

Just a note: one serious limitation I've encountered is that linux running under WSL2 (or WSL1 I believe) is unable to access USB. This was a show stopper for firmware development for me. The solution seems to be uh, patch the kernel?

You're right -- my last statement was a bit too much of a leap. In this case I wonder if it would have even mattered if a significant percentage of the workforce was unionized.

To be fair, there were only TEN unionized employees at Instacart who were let go (out of 1900 jobs cut). With such a small percentage of the workforce unionized, it's highly unlikely those employees enjoyed any additional bargaining po

Avoid words like "obviously." What is obvious to me may not be obvious to another.

This is a neat idea. Also, many apps don't need your EXACT location, just something like a zip code for convenience. AFAIK there is no mechanism for an App to request permissions to get a "rough" idea of where you are as oppo

I thought the same thing. More than anything, having the data in a table without a basic time series graph makes it harder to visualize the impact (for me).

This is a bad take and odd place to criticize Go programmers. Go convention is often short variable names, but the only place I know where single-letter variable names is encourage is for receiver methods. https://golang.org&#x2F
