You don't need to rely on nonsensical hearsay when there is freely available statistical information on the subject: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/cultural...

Assuming you read the article, you appear to have missed the point. The BBC isn't saying that Hamas is not a terrorist organisation, any more than they said the Nazis weren't evil during WWII. Impartiality is a founding principle

I agree that some jobs can't be remote, but that doesn't apply to the majority of tech jobs (and therefore HN readers). Most of the people here (and at Salesforce) are paid, in theory at least, according to their skillset and the

Do you have a source for this? I thought (assumed) the whole point of NCAP ratings was to compare the safety of different cars.

Do you mean other cars in the same class? Either way, it undermines the statement that the increase in car size is primarily due to new legislation which makes it impossible to build a small, safe car.

> Car designer Chris Longmore... blames safety legislation for the dramatic increase in size since the 1990s. This doesn't stand up to scrutiny. For example, the 2022 Toyota Aygo X has a 4 star NCAP safety rating (out of a possible

I'm far from being a crypto apologist, but your comment is based solely on your opinion of other crypto companies. The article is quite clear that Paxos is a regulated Trust Charter, and "...100% backed by the safest sorts of sh

The author is clearly using this for prose (as opposed to code), and I wonder how it compares to dictation in terms of speed. I've never really tried using text to speech for writing blog posts and the like, but I know David Sparks (Ma

The fact that Hugo still doesn't play nicely with Tailwind 3 (2 years after T3 was released) is a real pain point. I gave up on this ever being fixed quite a while back, but still check on the issue [1] every now and then. Seems like t

Why is it Apple's fault that a knock-off (i.e. unsupported) display stopped working after a software update?

I realise the headline story just is a jumping off point for the article, but it still begs the question: why did it take the company in question an entire year (and $1.5M) to realise their marketing wasn't working? Now that's a

If that were the case, I would expect to see an explicit reference to the CGPT version in the introduction, and an explanation as to why the authors chose it for the study. Instead, the only version information appears to be buried in secti

I think it depends on your chosen field of work. An analogy may help to explain my point. I write code for a living. I'm pretty good, nothing amazing, and my ability to program is table stakes for my profession. Before I did this for a
