"There is billions of spending on projects they don't need" On the list of governemnt expenses... NASA is almost a rounding error ($18.4 billion in 2011, about 0.5% of the $3.4 trillion US budget). Perspective is important.

Off-topic, but, a cellphone from 8 years ago is the iPhone 4. Isn't that crazy to think about?

Shouldn't surprise anyone, no, but "250 people would find themselves with no job, no severance, and health insurance that would be gone by month’s end — just nine days." That's appalling, and that's the real issue b

By execution model I imagine you mean the whole single-request single-response thing? To which I can point you to something like https://reactphp.org/ and https://github.com/php-pm/php-pm , which are gr

I love this, I've used it for years any time I need to rank things, since having to pick my preference between different options is much more accurate than giving them arbitrary numbers.

The problem is not that Valve is exercising the right not to do business with them, but that they're taking away everything they ever bought from them. It's akin to me wronging Amazon and they come to my house and pick up everythi

I completely agree with you there, and I'm sorry if my comment came across as aggressive. What I'm surprised by though, is that anyone thinks corporations are anything but a way to make money. Does anyone really believe they care

The article is about Google pulling down Russian ads, paid for by Russians. It is clear that Google is doing business with people in Russia. This isn't about visitors to a website, which I agree is an entirely different situation.

I would choose not to do business with Nazi Germany. If I'm running a business and don't agree with their laws, I can choose not to do business there. If I'm choosing to do business there, I'm choosing to respect their l

You're advocating for breaking a country's laws. What makes Russia's laws worth less than any other country's? Whether you agree or not with them, you have to respect them. They are a sovereign country and have the right

Then that really does raise some questions as to what 100 million lines are for. What operations exactly does an airplane need to execute that require that much code?

The thing is, do they just count all the lines of code in all the libraries they use, as well as the OS (all of it compiled from source, I would guess)? I imagine they do, since that's the only reasonable way that 100 million lines of

Woah. That's just remarkable. This needs to exist as a modern app. I definitely want to build something like this now.

This is incredible and makes me think a website like this could and should exist, containing an interface to as many unix tools as possible. Yes, one could "RTFM" as one commenter mentioned, but if you're just a casual CLI us

What makes Hacker News social media? It's just a forum, essentially, like the forums of old. There are threads, and people can reply to them. There are no friendships or any kind of social graph associated with it, which is what makes

But it didn't make economic sense to go to the moon at all in the first place, either. That's what the parent is referring to, I think. We lost the motivation/incentives we had to get on with this exploration, with these vent

“If they don’t learn they will go out of business” sounds nice, but in reality, we can all point to hundreds and hundreds of different companies that show that that simply does not happen. Otherwise, the US would have the best and friendlie

Agreed, it’s not likely to be enforced. Note that you cannot sue anyone over the GDPR, however. That is a fundamental misunderstanding that I keep seeing repeated - the GDPR only gives people the right to report companies to the relevant au

In Civ 2 at least, if you switched to another wonder you'd keep -all- your production so you could just shrug and switch to another wonder without losing anything. It's only if you switched to a normal building or a unit that you&

The disposable dishware, I saw it in the US, and it's just the most unbelievable thing I can think of. Having grown up in Europe, I was astonished to see people actually eat out of disposable dishware. I'd expect it at a party wit

Unless I'm mistaken, you can't actually sue over your interpretation of the GDPR. You can report companies to the appropriate authority, who can then investigate, and with whom you can communicate. Just like the many other authori
