It’s classic politics to me, if you have to explain yourself, you’ve already lost. Did apple really think the average person would hear “scanning all devices” and think oh they’re using device local keys to keep the data on the device, that

It’s so funny to me when everyone touts crypto + smart contracts as revolutionary™ then when you follow a system implemented with them to its logical conclusions you have analogs to everything that already exists. Lawyers to audit the contr

One question I have is do viruses like covid ever reach peak fitness? I assume there are properties of the virus that at some point cannot be changed because they will negatively affect the ability of the virus to reproduce and with univers

Interesting article, to me it just appears to be deciding how much you know at compile time vs runtime. (Runtime expressibility vs compile-time proofs) If you make your code a DSL you’re implicitly limiting your code to the semantics of you

I’d say Trump was definitely toeing the line. Taking all his actions as a whole 1) sending federal police to Portland and randomly kidnapping people 2) literally spewing lies every other word to the point you don’t know what’s real 3) want

“They didn’t arrest anyone.” Please. What is arrest other than losing freedom movement and then being moved to a location. It doesn’t make sense to me that you’re choosing to die on this hill. There is no excuse for using unmarked vehicles

It’s a write off if they donate that money to a foundation which they lead and can use the resources of. I agree though, that write-off is often used to mean some magical tax loophole though. The former case is very interesting for a lot of

To each their own, but I find it hilarious that the weather widget is the straw that broke the camel’s back for you not wanting Windows anymore. There are so many better reasons to move away from Windows.

That’s the thing though, the percentage of a random person of any demographic attacking you is like <<< 0.1% (or something), maybe comparable to your chance of dying in a car crash. Yet people cling to stereotypes and don’t wear se

People say this all the time about every company. For many this is true, when seen from the narrow perspective of an individual. However for the only metric that people care about (stock price and profit) Google’s system is incredibly succe

Yeah this is true, and I’m such a spiteful human being I actually take on the ux suffering just to screw them. You have to embrace it.

I don’t think it’s that they don’t want to admit it, it’s that the cost savings from something disruptive may make it worth it at scale. Or that somebody wants to risk their career on it haha and big tech has tons of cash to throw around.

This is such a bad faith argument that’s putting words in the author’s mouth. We all just want to be motivated to come to work everyday and be working on a product that we find interesting. I hope everyone understands everything can’t be a

The more I read Elon’s responses to these things, the less I feel like he actually cares. Elon’s response for me translates to “It’s not a misunderstanding of the name, it’s a misunderstanding if the name by experienced users” In the end th

The cognitive load result is interesting and might explain why technical debt is such a problem in our industry. I’m thinking that it might also be easier to simply add to an existing structure rather than understand the entire thing to rea

I find that reading many many articles like these enough has me at least feel a little guilty before grabbing a drink with friends, and I think even that small amount of guilt has reduced my consumption significantly.

This post seems like the author is early in their career and is realizing everything in the world is half broken and not perfect. What stood out to me is when he said “you could build what takes weeks in an enterprise in a weekend.” I don’t

When I looked at 0 and 1 they don’t seem to have anything to support the notion that nobody has anywhere to go, in fact they seem to indicate the opposite - that Amazon may pay less than similar jobs in the same area. 0 seems to indicate th

Call me biased but I happen to think that being at a “protest” that results in the storming of the Capitol during the tallying of electoral votes for our country’s leader is not equivalent to the occupation of a public park after a man was

I’m going to go ahead and say it. Usb-c is a disaster . The promise of a cable that is universal ended up being a cable that looks the same as every other but u have no idea if it’s the right cable. Maybe in the next 10 years it will be fi

Thank you I no longer need to be a pure pessimist anymore. I also think though that there will still be a time where they need to get more $$ and will raise prices or introduce ads at lower price tiers. However I would happily pay to not ha

Trying to not be a pure Google hater here but I can expect a lot of their products will become shittier (in terms of U X) in the next few years. It’s what happens to every web property after they have their insane period of growth. Now in o

Yes that’s what I’m talking about when I said the committees were lied to. I’m sure they would’ve been interested to hear from someone working at the lower levels that the NSA director lied.

Honestly most former presidents do “good work” in this sense. The power is gone so now there’s less outside influence. This law seems arbitrary and has no purpose, there’s like 4-5 former presidents alive at a time? This “problem” is at the

HN loves Snowden so much it makes no sense to me. He could’ve gone to the Senate/House intelligence committees, and not been in trouble. Worst case nothing would’ve gotten done, but since they were lied to, I don’t think he would’ve be

Except you need to replace “annoys powerful people” with “storms the seat of our government with intent to overthrow a democratic election result” I’m fine with that being the line for companies to ban a political entity. Amazon and google

A mob storming the seat of government power is. I’m actually not sure how this could be presented more clearly. Should politicians have been killed for you to consider it a coup?

by mlazos 6y ago
Lol yes? And also the capitol would be littered with bodies if it was a left wing rally. Also it’s called a coup because the president in power incited a mob to attack congress. Your hypothetical is missing that part.
