That's the part that boggles my mind. Who are these people who rail against telemetry on HN threads? Are they 1. Gods who simply ship bug free code and can't understand why mortals like us need telemetry to do the same. 2. Non-sof

Kudos to you for being able to make the first 2 points fairly despite being personally affected by this. Rare that you'd see that. Most people would start with the 3rd point and try to minimise anything that contradicts.

First time I’ve heard Google being blamed for Mozilla’s self inflicted problems. Google is highly incentivised to make sure Mozilla survives with some reasonable market share. Without Mozilla antitrust enforcement becomes much more likely.

If we’re sharing our favourite article by Bret, then I need to praise his article on why there wasn’t a Roman Industrial Revolution - https://acoup.blog/2022/08/26/collections-why-no-roman-indus... Part of th

One big caveat to this - the difference between people's stated and revealed preferences. They say they want one thing, but when push comes to shove they choose differently. Here's an example specifically with phones. Consumers

That's probably how it'll go because it's the path of least resistance. A button will already have a listener for tap, so the OS translates the vision tracking into a "tap" and triggers the relevant code. There&#x27

I don't agree with the point GP is making, but presumably something like two processes writing a file and reading their changes back. If the writes and reads interleave you'd get a race condition.

No hammer is falling. Ultimately any American government loves the idea of an American manufacturer making cars in America too much. Nothing will happen to Musk because without him, Tesla would suddenly be valued as a car manufacturer inste

This is factually untrue, easily disprovable by checking the chart over 3 months - https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/DJT . What are you going to do now? Claim that going from $66 to $22 isn't a crash?

The pinned comment at the top of this thread requests that "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive". Bravo to you for providing exactly that. Too much of the discourse around t

This is usually true, but the CEO is very clear here - when faced with a choice between security and something else, every employee must choose security. And to head off the possibility that some exec chooses differently, a portion of each

You've created a disgusting thing that makes everyone's lives worse. And you'll justify it to yourself with the old "if I didn't do it someone else would have". Despicable.

I'm kind of with you on this. The stripper index makes sense when they were servicing a need no one else could. But the rise of OnlyFans means that at least some of the money that would have gone to strippers is going to performers on

It's curious that you remain a fan despite being able to see his hypocrisy. I wonder why you haven't made the logical leap that it isn't worth being a fan of a hypocrite like this.

Control right? This way Tesla keeps ownership and control of the network and can license access out to competitors. If they spun it off, they would have to pay for access themselves. Still, I can't see the 4D chess behind this move. It

Rayon is a crate that makes it easy to write code that executes in parallel. Take a function that looks like this. It'll execute on a single thread. fn sum_of_squares(input: &[i32]) -> i32 { input.iter() .map(|&i| i *

We have different views of what clickbait is. Clickbait, in my view, is writing checks that your content can’t cash. MKBHD didn’t do that. He plainly said this was the worst product and then calmly explained why it was the worst product. Th

You don’t learn by talking, you learn by listening. And you’re talking too much about Japan for someone who knew nothing about the place and extrapolated that it must be like Europe.

No one doubts that Chinese people work incredibly long hours. They do so because there’s been a strong link between input and output. The harder you work, the wealthier you get. That has been incredibly motivating … so far. In an economy th

From a policy making perspective, this article is on point. Lottery advocates justify their existence by saying the money goes to a good cause, like education or sports. And sure it does, by taxing the people who can afford it the least. Th
