It's a bad idea for a company to comment on a specific case even if they've done nothing wrong, because it creates the expectation that the company will comment when they are in the clear. And complicit otherwise. It's safer

My point was that submitters who only submit political articles (in line with their biases) are detrimental to the site. Such articles attract more politically charged engagement, and over time draw in people who care more about politics th

This has devolved into a political discussion unfit for HN. The OP's submission history[1] is almost entirely political, and promoting a specific viewpoint. While I believe it's ok to discuss politics on HN, my view is that accoun

A $250b/year trade deficit will weaken you over time while you might just be kicking the can down the road. The generation having to fight the war will have lesser chances of winning it. Trade (especially massively imbalanced trade) w

Most people I know would bracket you as right-leaning if you attack a left-wing position without balancing it by simultaneously attacking a right-wing position. It is usually acceptable to attack right-wing issues without a balancing act. I

If Secure Scuttlebutt had taken off at scale, blocking access to content could have been harder. It is not without security risks, but I found data transfer via local mesh networks a powerful capability. I'll explain a bit. If Alice ha

HN could be a little less pessimistic. People aren't choosing microservices merely because of the hype. Here's why I'd choose microservices for a large project: 1. People don't produce uniform code quality. With microser

But quaintdev is right in that Indian Police for some reason takes this somewhat seriously. For highway patrol, I suspect it's boredom and this gives them something to chase. I remember in the late 90s when I was in college, the police

Sorry, I don't agree. I've been a contractor for 2 decades (including on a Google project a very long time ago). It's a choice you make, and I'm quite happy with mine. There are of course upsides and downsides. If you wa

For a $1T org like Amazon, these are distractions. Even trying to transfer it is a distraction; it wouldn't move the revenue needle. It makes sense. I mean, it makes a lot of sense when one doesn't value the importance of preservi

I was looking for something really simple - like how the BBC Micro and ZX Spectrum were to my generation. Linux Mint is certainly capable, but also more than what I need.

1. AMD just got to 5nm, and hence this is more apples-to-apples if we're talking about design efficiency (rather than TSMC's capabilities) 2. The brand new M2s are only about 20% faster, so the results are still valid.
