Sure, I'm perfectly ready to admit I'm shit at it. I just don't want this to have to be something I good at.

Per gp, it's consumption. Perhaps you haven't been eating enough steel to appreciate the demand.

I was referring to the family / kids but more than the 10 years. If what you're saying is "that's what I'm looking for but I wouldn't say it..." I dunno, that seems like exactly the sort of thing people wo

Fwiw this perspective (talking about expectations of age, family status, background as conditions) would get you kicked as far away as possible from any hiring decisions where I work. I think mostly for legal / dei reasons to my unders

Isn't YouTube operating at a larger scale? I'd think certainly in terms of storage and unique bytes served, maybe comparable in terms of total bytes served? Or maybe I'm way underestimating the size of the Netflix library, bu

They haven't made this assumption, they've explicitly stated there was not sufficient data but acknowledged that other people not covered by the survey exist.

It's weirdly both such a big number and such a small number. 15k is a ton for many people and probably well more than the inconvenience this one guy suffered. But it's insubstantial compared to the cost of this case turning into a

Sure, but none of this is free. That's all extra work that has to happen. The fact that I'm doing it in "down time" doesn't make it free, I have a million other things I could theoretically do at any given down time

I think they must be stacked based on their description of amp as most of their traffic when it's the lowest line, but I agree the graph design is bewildering and does not read to me as stacked without thinking hard about what they are

The usg, for whatever that piece of software says on the tin. Unless you are just asking if there is any closed source software anywhere which provides value not totally replicable using oss, which seems like a silly question.

What do you mean "a place"? No one is making you buy nasdaq, just stick with government bonds.

Frankly in my experience the literal opposite is true. I and the people around me trust technology less and less with time.

I've become a big Google meet shill. It works great, it's easy to get people onto it, quality is quite good. I've heard it can fall apart with really big groups of people, but never had any problems up to about 10, and beyond

This is a fairly core feature they're removing from a product they already sold. I also liked that they don't make any attempt at claiming this is for any reason other than more money. No "oh our new models are too powerful t

I think as in real estate agents helping you sell your house vs selling their own house?

While this is technically true, I think a developed-ish nation might blow up your electric facilities before it would destroy a city.

Wouldn't it be one without gc? Gc collects the garbage and disposes of it, whereas in other languages it just piles up :D

I'm terrified of this. I've no idea why, but if I hear a song too many times in a couple day period I have a night of fever dreaming where I wake up over and over again to the song in my head. It's like my brain has over cond

And even once this is over, I think it's pretty often the speed limits and not the people driving over them that are in the wrong. I don't think slowing everyone down is a useful goal unless we adjust the limits up first.

by joebob42 4y ago
I've been worried about something like this ever since maps first started showing the speed limit on the road I was on. It feels like an inevitability. For whatever reason this feels like an especially significant step on the path towa

by joebob42 4y ago
I agree, but I don't think that would be a good thing. I suppose if the end result was that speed limits got adjusted up 5-10 mph to match the speed of the road it would be fine. I doubt this would happen in general, and I know it woul

by joebob42 4y ago
I'd argue that it's almost never correct to drive the speed limit. In the US at least they are almost universally slower than the natural speed of the road by 5-10 mph and everyone speeds a bit all the time.

I don't think "is this where the price is going" really has anything to do with what gp was even saying.

I think though that in this case the person who needs to try harder is the one who originated the claim, not the person trying to dispute it, given that the person who made the claim originally didn't provide any evidence.

Sure, but 1. Google benefits from Android, but ios is apple. Google has other games. 2. Google doesn't make most androids. China would have to ban any company from making hardware designed to run android, not just ban Google from ope

It was meaningful to me. To me it meant "the other options are better for me, but I'll take payment in btc if that's the best option for you. Here's the link for that" Not sure what the harm is?

Kind of ironic, there was a big "cloudflare is bad and a central point of failure" article on the front page just a couple days ago. Found it, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31801947 edit: Not that I necessa
